What makes this Xbox gaming headset worth the money?

Firstly, the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro gaming headset comes with Triforce Titanium 50mm audio drivers, a cutting-edge piece of technology that produces clear audio with rich highs and deep lows.

This means that while wearing this headset, your ears will be able to pick up the minutest sound design detail while playing a game for greater immersion. This can come in handy for heightening the atmospheric tension of horror games like Resident Evil, or listening for an enemy's footsteps so you don't get ambushed while playing Overwatch.

It also comes with noise-isolating earcups with memory foam cushioning to block out distracting background noise, a long battery life of up to 70 hours per charge, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and a detachable Hyperclear Super Wideband Microphone to help convey your voice online with crisp detail so your teammates can hear you perfectly.

While the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro gaming lacks useful features such as multi-source audio mixing for phone calls/voice chats while gaming, Razer Synapse support on PC, and specific eSports sound profiles, it's a small price to pay considering all the other amazing hardware specs it has going for it.

What's more is that its exorbitant MSRP of $199.99 has been broken in half, so that's now $99.99 at Amazon. Getting a 50% discount on one of the best Xbox headsets Razer has produced sounds too good to be true, but it is, and I highly recommend jumping on it if you enjoy gaming with headsets on Xbox.

Alternative discount offerings

The PC version of the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is also on sale for $129.99, for those who prefer gaming on PC rather than Xbox consoles.
