Razer BlackShark V2 X is essentially the "entry-level king" of Razer’s esports lineup. It strips away the bells and whistles (like RGB or detachable cables) 
to focus on the core essentials: comfort, mic clarity, and solid audio.
Key Features & Specs
Audio Quality: Powered by 50mm TriForce Drivers. These are uniquely designed to act like three separate drivers for highs,Razer BlackShark V2 mids, and lows, preventing the "muddy" sound common in cheap headsets.
7.1 Surround Sound: Provides virtual positional audio on Windows 10/11 (64-bit). It helps you pinpoint footsteps and direction, though it requires a software activation code included in the box.
HyperClear Cardioid Mic: The mic is tuned to pick up your voice while suppressing noise from the back and sides. Note: The mic is bendable but not detachable.
Comfort: At only 240g, it's incredibly lightweight. It uses breathable memory foam cushions and a combination of leatherette and fabric to keep your ears cool.
Compatibility Table
Since it uses a standard 3.5mm analog jack, it is one of the most versatile headsets available.
