![]() Microphone: Razer HyperClear Super Wideband Mic, unidirectional Speaker frequency response: 12Hz to 28,000Hz The BlackShark V2 HyperSpeed is comfy, but not as comfy as its more expensive variant or the best of its direct competitors.ĭrivers: Razer TriForce Titanium 50mm drivers I could still use it for hours without significant discomfort - but this is one area that competing headsets are now excelling. That doesn't mean this isn't a comfortable headset. The memory foam padding just doesn't feel as inviting as on the BlackShark V2 Pro, and the faux leather fabric used here doesn't provide the same level of passive noise cancellation, isn't as breathable, and simple doesn't feel as comfortable on the skin as the fabric used in the BlackShark V2 Pro. ![]() There's definitely less refinement to the clamping force and the way the headset rests on your head, likely due to the decrease in build quality and materials used, but most of it comes down to the padding. Unfortunately, despite boasting a decently lower weight and a near-identical design, the BlackShark V2 HyperSpeed cannot lay claim to the same level of comfort. I praised the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro for its supreme comfort and fit, and the perfect compromise between breathability and sound isolation wrought by the microtexture on the padding and cushions. While build quality is in line with what I expect at this price range, other headsets in the category do a little better with overall comfort.The clamping force isn't as refined, and the fabric used in the padding and cushions is both less breathable and less isolating.Despite its lower weight, the BlackShark V2 HyperSpeed isn't as comfortable as its more expensive variant. ![]() (Image credit: Windows Central | Zachary Boddy) Comfort highlights This headset is fine on its own, but it doesn't compare well to the Pro variant. To be fair, it's far closer to the expected for this price range, but it's worth highlighting the few differences between the BlackShark V2 HyperSpeed and BlackShark V2 Pro. All of this together doesn't install a ton of confidence in me regarding the long-term durability of this headset. There's no way to stowaway or remove the mic, and making repairs in the (common) occurrence of mic failure (or more specifically, the connecting cable) is far more difficult now. The mic, which is mostly identical to its more expensive counterpart, is also entirely nondetachable. The fabric used for the padding isn't as breathable as the microtextured fabric of the BlackShark V2 Pro, and doesn't feel nearly as durable, either. The plastic used to construct the headset is noticeably cheaper-feeling, with a rough texture and sharper edges. In fact, Razer made a handful of refinements here, adding a lovely, ridged texture to the volume dial and a sandpaper-like texture to the headset buttons.Įlsewhere, the BlackShark V2 HyperSpeed looks and feels its price tag - and occasionally falls behind the competition in this price range. Fortunately, the overall design is practically identical to the BlackShark V2 Pro, with its pilot-inspired design language and prominent volume dial. ![]() Cuts had to be made somewhere, of course, and this is where they're all happening. Spoiler alert: The biggest areas in which the Razer BlackShark V2 HyperSpeed compromises in order to hit its lowered price point is in the build quality and comfort.
