Customer Reviews
For what it costs, I had relatively low expectations of this headset. I came from a Corsair Virtuoso SE wireless headset that had a great mic and very good sound, but the connection with my PS4 was never very solid and I would notice relatively frequent dropouts in audio. Friends with PS4s swore by using the 3.5mm jack on the controller and I decided to use this to test.
As an Avid gamer, the right pair of headphones was essential. I felt like every time I got a pair, they would be broken in half or stop working within 3 months of use. It should come as no shock that when I began the search for headphones that lead me to the Razer BlackShark, my main focus was durability. This pair was different from most dollar store headphones and many other brands you can find on Amazon. Featuring a metal shell, these headphones can withstand countless accidental drops (and if you are a rage gamer, perhaps a few throws). What is surprising is that even though these headphones could take a beating, durability is not even the main feature. At the time of purchase, they were a preferred pair of headphones for eSports and other professional gamers. They still offer the sound quality needed to hear everything you need to in games; A quality mic as far as in-line mics go; and surround sound capabilities. Not to mention other nifty features like a volume nob on the headset (in-line ones tend to be faulty), mute button, and easy adjustability. It is hard to find a great headset that does everything this one does, is also very durable, and at a price point around $60. Razer products can be hit or miss at times but these headphones are the best I have ever purchased. I still use them when I play game or when I want to watch YouTube or listen to music in solidarity and they only have a few minor cosmetic scratches.
