Two years later, the perfectly scored Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is still the headset we recommend for high-end gaming audio
The Xbox variant of Razer's Blackshark V2 Pro gaming headset is now less than $105, just in time for gamers to get their co-op buddies a gift for Christmas.
2023's Razer Blackshark V2 Pro gaming headset blew our minds with its high-quality audio and ergonomic design, but it was incompatible with Xbox consoles.
Razer then sought to correct that in 2024 with the Blackshark V2 Pro Wireless Xbox Gaming Headset, so Xbox players can finally experience its rich sounds. Now, at the end of 2025, its $199.99 MSRP has been slashed down to $104.99 at Amazon during the holiday sales.
"The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro for Xbox takes absolutely everything great about the original PC version, including the comfortable and lightweight design, excellent and responsive audio quality, and class-leading microphone, and simply makes it work on Xbox." — Alexander Cope, Contributor, Gaming
Windows Central review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Why is this one of the best gaming headsets to buy for Xbox?
There are plenty of reasons why hardcore Xbox players should consider owning a Razer Blackshark V2 Pro for Xbox.
This gaming headset features impeccable sound quality when listening to games, thanks to its 50mm TriForce Titanium drivers, spatial audio support, and customizable audio profiles to let the user adjust the EQ levels to their personal preferences.
There are also a couple of pre-installed audio profiles tuned for competitive online multiplayer titles like Call of Duty, Battlefield, or Arc Raiders to help players better hear enemy movement or teammate call-outs.
The Razer Blackshark V2 Pro for Xbox's mic quality also matches its headset audio quality, as its unidirectional, detachable microphone with 32KHz sampling rates can convey your voice with exquisite detail while isolating it from distracting background noise.
Of course, a wireless headset's audio quality means nothing with a stable wireless connection to back it up. Thankfully, the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro for Xbox more than delivers it with stable, responsive, and reliable Razer Hyperseed 2.4Ghz wireless or Bluetooth connections to prevent audio latency.
Add in a long-lasting battery life of 70 hours, an extremely comfy, ergonomic design that's pleasant to wear for many hours, and some compatibility with PC (minus Razer Synapse support and audio profiles for Valorant and Counter-Strike), and you've got one of the best Xbox Gaming Headsets on the market.
So, if you're looking for a premium-grade Xbox Headset to buy for Christmas, today's your lucky day as Amazon's sale is offering the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro for Xbox with a 48% discount for $104.99 at Amazon.
