When we tested this Razer BlackShark V2 X gaming headset out for ourselves a while back, we found it to be a comfortable option that drops some of the more expensive Razer extras, like RGB lighting, for a more subtle approach that doesn't forget about the essentials. This is a headset built for the budget-conscious gamer with a pretty decent spec sheet.

Unlike most modern headsets released today, this entry-level Razer model instead uses a 3.5mm aux jack for connectivity. This means that, while you’re more than able to use it with your PC, you can also use it with a wide range of other devices with little fuss. Razer does ship a version of the BlackShark V2 X with a USB connector, with additional variants that also support the PS5 and Xbox, but those models are more expensive than the one on sale here.

One of this headset’s best features is its 50mm Triforce titanium drivers, which are designed to make your audio’s treble, mid, and bass levels sound clearer and more distinct. Audio input is well catered for, too, with the adjustable cardioid mic, which uses passive noise cancellation to help free your voice comms from any extraneous noise.

The Razer BlackShark V2 X’s closed ear cups provide a good seal around your ears to avoid external noise pollution. These cans use a thick memory foam, wrapped in a breathable fabric, to make them comfortable to wear during those long gaming sessions. That’s supported by the headset’s weight, too, with its lightweight plastic exterior helping it to weigh just 240g.

Razer headsets often cost considerably more than this, so if you're due for a new headset, take advantage of this Razer BlackShark V2 X's £28.40 sale price before the deal runs out.
