I’ve been a Razer fan for over 10 years and once again, they nailed it. I bought this to use with my PS5 and it was super easy to connect — totally plug and play. The wireless experience is smooth and reliable. The sound quality is absolutely insane. It’s super immersive and also blocks outside noise really well. The mic picks up my voice clean and clear, and the headset is surprisingly very comfortable, even after long gaming sessions. What I love the most is the battery — I’ve been using it for 5 days straight and still haven’t had to charge it. Switching from PS5 to PC is also super quick and easy. Honestly, I don’t have a single complaint. If you’re thinking about it… just go for it. Totally worth the investment!

This is a lengthy review but this is a really problematic headset to have to use daily. First, it's well-built as all Razer products have been all through time, and the materials should stand up to the test of time. The functionality, however, has become a daily obstacle course, jumping through hoops to get this thing working, and it is driving me insane. To start, I try to never, ever use the software associated with computer peripherals because they will all work without it. I have Razer keyboards and mice, all of those work without the Synapse software. I used another brand headset for a long time, also without its associated software, with no issues at all. The same applied to this headset, and I was able to plug in the wireless dongle, turn it on, and bam...it worked. No software, no hoops, it just worked. I don't know what happened last week, but this thing just decided it wasn't going to work anymore. The speakers worked, but the mic didn't. I plugged it into the USB cable and suddenly the mic worked...but the speakers didn't. I broke down and installed Synapse and now the connectivity is stuck in this perpetual cycle. It won't work without Synapse running, and if the headset is taken over by something like Zoom or Google Meetings, it will not let go of it and requires a PC reboot to get it working again. I don't understand why products simply "working" is a challenge in this day and age, but it's truly puzzling. I'm past the date for returns on this headset, so I'm likely going to simply go back to the *wired* version of this headset that had a really neat feature: IT WORKED.

These headphones have been great for me so far. You just plug in the receiver into your pc and then turn on your headphones and they connect with ease. It has different audio modes for custom, games, movies or music. The charge lasts a while and the microphone quality has been great. Picked these up on sale and it was an even better purchase because of that!

I did not buy these as my primary headset. I already have a dedicated audio stack in my computer room with a professional mic and many audiophile headphones. I do however have a living room PC hooked to a home theater, where I enjoy all of my emulators and controller friendly PC titles. For that setup these work well for relatively cheap, and allow me to voice chat with my friends while playing together or just enjoy a movie without waking the wife. They are massively convenient. Build quality is... okay. They're very light but also feel plastic and cheap. There are clearly some build weaknesses as shown in review photos here on Amazon. I reinforced mine with a little electrical tape wrapped around the weak spots on the headband where the yolks attach. For the light use and gentle handling these get they should be okay. The original OG Blackshark was built from professional grade parts and was super rugged so this is kinda disappointing but hey you pay a premium for wireless that eats into other aspects of the build. Be gentle with them and pay $10 for a cheap headphone stand. The earpads are a kind of hybrid design and are fairly nice. Since the headphones are so light and don't clamp hard comfort is good. That said Razer is known for cheap earpads that blow out over time so be prepared to replace them eventually. Wireless connectivity is great with the dongle. Syncs instantly and flips the Windows setting automatically when I turn them on, and flips back when I turn them off. Range seems good as I can move around the room or even walk over to the fridge and get a drink while still talking/listening without dropping out. Synapse is known to be a little buggy but I seem to have good luck with it. It offers good control over the headset with all the basic features we've come to expect. It can even do firmware updates over USB. Sound is fine. These aren't audiophile headpones by any means but they sound just fine. Neutral with a little warmth and a little bass bump. They are a bit quiet out of the box but with Synapse 3 installed you can turn the gain up and then they get pretty loud. They aren't really special at 3D positioning but they're more than adequate to play Ghost Recon Wildlands or Helldivers 2 with my brother. They work well enough for movies and music and don't ever sound bad in anything. Just average. Lots of headphones in this range have problems with their sound so for me this is a win. Others have mentioned bad mic quality or low mic volume on older models of this headset but the HyperSpeed seems to have fixed that issue. The mic isn't amazing quality but has clean sound and is easily loud enough for voice chat via Discord. Overall these aren't a bad choice. If you need something that just works, doesn't sound awful, and won't make you poor, these are the ones. It's a lot more money for appreciably better build quality, and at this level sound quality is kind of low priority so you take what you can get. I think long term I will probably be skipping "gamer" brands and looking at Audeze Maxwell. My other Audeze headphones are fantastic. In the meantime this is a solid entry level headset that ticks all the boxes.

These were bought for my husband as a Christmas gift. He states that they're extremely comfortable on his head and ears, not being too tight and fitting over his ears. The sound quality is great when he is gaming and he likes that they're wireless. The battery life is great, with the headphones only needing to be charged every few days.

Well, at least, my 5+ year headset(I just need the wireless for exercise, I can plug it in to the PC if I need to)... You can hear that they took the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro's drivers and put them in these. The sound quality is superb, I can't really knock it because while it feels a little weak on bass, my Blackshark V2 X's were heavy on bass, so that is probably it. Plus, Razer Synapse makes it easy to EQ them to have a bit of a bass bump. Funny thing, EQ's work as long as you follow the 'zero' rule. Set the highest band on the EQ to 0DB and go from there. Then just turn up the headsest itself. The Blackshark V2 X and Hyperspeed are both loud enough that this is fine. Install the firmware!!! It's pretty straightforward and easy as long as you have a PC(why would you buy these otherwise?)... just do the usual firmware rules, make sure it's plugged in and staying that way etc... It's worth the trouble. When you connect it to bluetooth, you can double-tap the right button to switch between the PC wireless and the bluetooth. Both preserve the superb sound quality. I guess I'm too deaf to notice bluetooth compression! And finally, use the included USB cable if at all possible. It acted finnicky when I tried to use my own. Might try it again, as my own cord is 10 feet while the Hyperspeed's is 6 feet. But with a 70 hour battery, I suspect I'll never need to use it wired as long as I charge it every night. That's the only downside of this headset: There's no way to keep the charge between 30% and 80%, so they will die in, what, 5 years or so? Ouch. But I don't think any headset displays exact enough battery information to regulate the charge like this, so is it really a downside if it applies to everything? The microphone is a huge improvement over the Blackshark V2 X... but it's a much more expensive headset so that's to be expected to some degree. But it's really good. It's not gonna be a Snowball or Yeti, but I think that's obvious. Razer earned their 5 stars on this one. I made a spreadsheet of a bunch of headsets and their downsides before buying. This headset had the most bearable downsides(on paper before I bought it) so it's the one I chose. I chose wisely.

This is hands down the most comfortable headset I have ever used. The foam ear pads and lightweight frame make it almost blend in entirely even when wearing for longer sessions, and I have a large head too. No other headset I have used even comes close in comfort, and the audio quality is great on top of it.
