Heavy on the head -Headband slackens over time In fact our only real issue is that I'm not a fan of their wee boom mic, but given the fact there are some fantastic budget gaming mics out there right now, that's not a biggy for me. They're also super comfortable too and, call me a luddite, but having a physical volume dial is incredibly useful, and saves me otherwise fumbling around for buttons on an earcup. They feel detailed, punchy, yet still rich enough to deliver an incredible experience in your chosen gameworld. The TriForce driver design apes the fantastic HyperX Cloud Alpha headset, and matches its fantastic audio delivery, helping knock the previous top gaming headphones off their perch.
The best thing about the pricier Razer cans is the soundscape they deliver. So, why is it only number two in this list then? Well, the Cloud II Wireless has a slightly longer battery life, and is a little lighter in weight and on the wallet.īut the Blackshark V2 Pro is a very close second, and I've had to do some soul-searching to try and pick a winner, given that the Razer headset is the one I use on a daily basis. The wired Razer Blackshark V2 is our favourite gaming headset and the wireless 'Pro' version takes all of the best bits from those excellent headphones and snips off the cable.
