Bottom Line

The Razer BlackShark V2 X Gaming Headset stands out as a durable and comfortable option with decent sound quality for its price. However, the 7.1 surround sound may not meet all users' expectations, and the microphone has its limitations. For better audio features and less hassle with ear pads, you might consider upgrading to the regular Razer BlackShark V2, which could offer improved comfort and a detachable mic.
