I purchased a pair of these in March based on this review, they were great, they weren’t amazing, but they were amazing for the price, I picked them up on sale for $99. I accidentally dropped them about 6 inches while going to hang them up on my headset stand and it cracked the joint between the headband and the cups. I took them back and the store replaced them with a replacement under warrenty, grabbed a new set off the shelf. Same model, same box, same specs same everything. Not the same headset.
The range is worse I lose connection if I go more than 5 meters away from my computer, the sound quality is worse, it has a micro USB instead of a Type C, the microphone has a lot of static. I suspect Razer did a initial run using higher quality products and then switched over to lower quality after the reviews started coming in.
I encourage Rtings to pick up a new headset and re-review it. based on the reviews im seeing here I think there are two different headsets out there under the same “Razer BlackShark V2 Pro” branding. The initial better ones, and then the second run lesser quality ones.
