Build Quality
When you pick up the headset the first thing you notice is just how light it is. It feels somewhat solid, but also it's clear that this is not a headset that prioritized premium materials. It's also extremely comfortable because of how light it is. Although I've never had issues with heavier headsets and neck pain, if that is a consideration the light materials should be great for long term sessions.
The pads are faux leather on the interior ring and exterior ring. The part that rests against your head feels like something a little more breathable. I don't think I will have any issues wearing these for long sessions. The clamping force is a good moderate level where they won't fall off accidentally, but I don't feel like I am in a death grip.
Mic Quality
I made some calls using the mic and, I believe this to be a great compliment to the quality of the mic, no one thought I was on a headset. "It's like you were actually talking through your phone." Although they have a gamer vibe, I could definitely see using these on conference calls (as long as the video was off.) Basically, the mic is great.
Audio Quality
Here's where I was expecting things to fall apart, but they really didn't. I decided to make a completely unfair comparison between these and my pair of Sennheiser HD600s run off of an AudioQuest DragonFly Black DAC/AMP. There was clearly no contest between the two headphones in terms of vocals or detail retrieval, but the Razer wasn't a bad headphone by any means. It had a clear and present bass, without being muddy. I do feel like the Corsair Virtuoso had a more full sound, but the spotty connection ruined it.
Gaming tends to be, I think, more forgiving than listening to music ... so I ran through a couple of games as a test. I tried a game that I feel focuses on background music (Unravel), which sounded great. I also tried something with more exploding (Borderlands 3) and the headset felt equally competent.
Flaws (But Not Deal Breakers)
The volume knob goes the opposite of the way my mind treats every other volume knob in my life. Clockwise turns the sound down?! WHY?!
I would have loved an LED to remind me that I'm muted. My first attempted call failed because the mute was engaged.
Conclusion
The Razer Blackshark V2 X might have a terrible name, but it's an amazing product at the price point. I don't play as many games online as I used to and I listen to a lot more music. For me, it makes sense to have a great pair of headphones for music and solo play as well as a cheap headset for online play with friends and conference calls. This works for me.
Pros:
-Best sound I have had on a wireless (gaming) headset and I have plenty, this is right under the steelseries arctis pro wireless which I did have for a test.
-Good build quality and the metal hinges are super tight, some have had loose fitting ones, mine did not have those.
-comfort, this is comparable to my arctis 7 2019 with brainwavz. I am going to mod some brainwavz on these too. The earpads are fine for most people stock though.
-mic quality is very good, maybe the best I have heard on a wireless set, but this also leads to a small con as well which I will cover below.
-razor synapse is good, I jumped in and set a v eq and then tested the gaming preset which was good also. Very good customizing here, gotta have an adjustable eq for me before I'm buying it.
-battery life, TBD but it is very loud and advertises 20+ hours. No problems with it being quiet on pc and Ps5.
-clarity is superb and thx is very good for my purposes.
Cons
-it did not clip sound (distort) until I pre-amped it, but it really isn't needed. It did clip sound on ps5 if I maxed the USB up, but leave it at 90% and you should be good.
-mic is a huge one, it's a cardioid style mic and it is pretty big, but it does have very good quality once dialed in with Synapse.
-no THX on ps5, but 3d sound works just fine. On PC this is very high end sound imo as this can hit some really good kHz 28k and is near Hifi.
-no USB C and is only micro USB, just a small gripe, not deducting from what this headset does.
-will work on Xbox only if wired, but the 3.5mm cable Razor supplied is a nice braided L cable.
-volume knob is huge, but that's aesthitics which is fine for most.
Overall: If you have the money to spend a little more than 100 I would get this if your primary use is Pc/Ps5. This headset stomps the pulse 3d wireless and is better than my Arctis 7 2019 for my purposes of use. This will work wired as well, but I have not tested on Xbox. I will update after 30 days of use. Razor has made an exceptional headset here and this is going to be between Arctis 7 and this being my daily driver. Btw, I have large ears and this is still over the ear for me and is super comfy.
Update Feb 4th: battery life, sound and comfort is still great. It sounds great wired on my series X using DTS sound unbound. The drivers have broke in a little bit and battery life is around 24 to 25 hours at about 65% volume. These get as loud as my gen3 A50's. Build quality should be fine as I don't see any failure points for my use and I baby these and keep them on a headset holder. These are still 5 star for me.
Update 03/09/2021:
The Blackshark V2 Pro is still working fine and I have used this on my Series X (wired), PS5 (wired and wireless), and pc (wired and wireless). Battery life has been around 23 to 24 hours as the volume is kept around 70%. Mic has been fine when used on all platforms and the comfort after these have broken in is second only to my Arctis 7, which both are close in comfort. Nothing faulty and build has held up very well. I will say that it is a pain to change earpads, but other than that it's still a very good headset.

HyperX Cloud Stinger (no los core)
HyperX Clod X
Corsair HS50 pro
Astro A10
Razer Kraken X
Debo decir que estos Blackshark y los Astro A10 son los que tienen mejor calidad de audio, que de hecho realmente es lo que vale la pena pagar para una experiencia gaming, a mi gusto ganan por poco los drivers y el microfono de los Astro A10 pero en la comodidad, aislamiento y cancelación de ruido los Blackshark no tienen comparación aparte en PC se compensa bastante el audio, ya que te incluyen un ecualizador con el que podras configurar varios aspectos de musica peliculas y juegos.
Si estas buscando unos headset de menos de $1200 te recomiendo estos son los mejores tanto para consolas como PC y la verdad desde que haces el unboxing te das cuenta la superioridad que tienen a los demas, si bien tiene sus desventajas como no poder quitarle el microfono o el cable del jack 3.5mm no por eso son malos, ya que son para jugar y estan muy bien balanceados en sonido y materiales. Ver una película con estos headset es una delicia.
Si solo los vas a ocupar para consolas no te recomiendo ninguno de los dos hyperX ya que sus frecuencias bajas son muy pobres y su altos son muy chillones a mi parecer se les puede sacar mas provecho ecualizando en PC.
Los corsair y los kraken no estan mal pero en volumen alto si se llegan a embarrar los sonidos pero son mejores opciones a los hyperx en consolas.
En resumen si lo que buscas es un headset completo en cuastion de audio y comodidad estos son los adecuados los materiales se ven y se sienten adecuados a lo que pagas, pero si no te importa sacrificar la comodidad para obtener un mejor microfono para streming ve por los Astro A10.
Espero que esto te ayude en gran medida para elegir tus primeros headset.
