Range is impressive, too, staying connected on the other side of the house, even on a different floor.

We didn’t have a local LAN party or esports event to test the theory, but had no issues with a desk full of wireless mice, keyboards and headsets from rival brands. An extension cable included in the box then lets you move the dongle further from your other accessories to further avoid interference.
Razer’s proprietary, ultra-low latency 2.4GHz connection checks multiple channels to avoid cross-bleed, so you get a stable signal even when you’re surrounded by other wireless kit. Just a few years ago that would’ve been almost sacrilegious for any gear aimed at esports, but wireless tech has come a long way. You either plug in the Hyperspeed dongle, or pair over Bluetooth. The USB-C port on the left ear cup? Exclusively for charging.
The 3.5mm headphone port on the old model? Gone.

The 2023 Blackshark V2 Pro is an exclusively wireless headset. Features & battery life: put the pro in profile There’s also a dedicated profile switch button on its lonesome by the right cup, so you can’t accidentally switch the headset off mid-game when trying to change EQ presets. The mic pops off quickly when you don’t need voice comms, leaving power and mute buttons, a USB-C charging port (a welcome change from the microUSB connection on the old model) and a chunky volume dial on the left earcup. We had no issues with loose ear cups or a drooping mic during our testing. It’s too early to tell if the reinforced steel headband sliders will go the distance, or whether reinforcing the boom arm has eliminated microphone drift, but that both have been improved from the outgoing model shows Razer is listening to customer feedback. We happily wore the Blackshark daily for a week during work hours and had no comfort complaints. The hexagonal weave cloth covering is breathable, so your ears don’t get at all sweaty, and Razer has dialled back the clamping force so your head doesn’t feel like it’s been in a vice after an extended gaming session.
Memory foam in the headband and ear cups create a snug fit with evenly distributed pressure, and do a great job of isolating exterior sound. There’s not a sniff of RGB lighting either, save for a teensy activity LED which only changes colour based on wireless mode. Branding is limited to an embossed logo on each ear cup and the Razer name imprinted on the plushly padded headband. It’s still a sonic stealth bomber clad entirely in black, save for Razer’s signature green hue around the microphone mute button. The Blackshark V2 was already a sleek and subtle gaming headset, so Razer has sensibly kept the design largely unchanged.
