Enrich your auditory gaming immersion while playing your favorite Xbox titles with the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (Xbox Edition), now on sale for a massive 48% discount.
Razer is my go-to brand whenever I need a new gaming accessory for my Xbox, as their controllers and headsets are usually much better than Microsoft's official peripherals.
So it pleases me to announce that one of Razer's best gaming headsets, the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro for Xbox, is back on sale with a gigantic 48% discount for $104.97 at Amazon.
"One of the best PC gaming headsets getting an Xbox version makes it an easy recommendation right away. The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro for Xbox may lose a little bit of PC prowess, but it's still an excellent headset regardless of which platform you game on." — Zachary Boddy, Staff Writer

Why buy the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro for Xbox in 2026?
This gaming headset takes all the major traits that made the original Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) awesome for PC platforms and applies them to Xbox consoles.
It's comfy to wear due to its earcup cushions and headband being made out of soft memory foam padded with tough and high-quality fabric.
It also has excellent sound quality thanks to its earcups being outfitted with 50mm TriForce Titanium drivers. With these, your ears will experience a dynamic soundstage where every sound effect from the quietest footstep to the loudest explosion is amplified with improved auditory detail and responsiveness.
The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro for Xbox's microphone audio quality is on par with the earcups' audio, allowing you to convey your voice with crystal-clear clarity to your friends when playing games online.
On top of that, this gaming headset has customizable audio profiles, solid wireless 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and 70 hours of battery life.
The only downsides of the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro are that there's no multi-source audio mixing, so you can't pair it with multiple devices simultaneously, and that it costs a very steep MSRP of $199.99.
While there's nothing that could be done to fix the former issue, Amazon has certainly fixed the pricing issue. For a limited time, Amazon is hosting a 48% discount for the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro, so it's now $104.97.
So, if you need a top-notch headset to listen for enemy movements better in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 or immerse yourself in the spine-chilling sound design of the upcoming Resident Evil: Requiem, then I highly recommend the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro as it's one of the best Xbox headsets out there.
Alternative discounted options
If you prefer gaming on PC as opposed to Xbox, the PC version of the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is also on sale for a slightly more expensive discount of $129.99.
The PC version of the Razer BlackShark Pro's audio quality and ergonomics are identical to the Xbox version, but it has access to Razer Synapse support on PC and eSports sound profiles for Valorant and Counter-Strike.
"The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) looks nearly identical to the original, but with a host of fantastic improvements — like an industry-leading mic, longer-lasting battery life, and even better comfort — that make the new version one of the very best wireless gaming headsets you can buy." — Zachary Boddy, Staff Writer
