Choose it if…

You want game sound and voice chat in one headset.
You want to hear your own voice through headphones while you play.
You want a wearable microphone rather than a separate desk stand or arm.

Before choosing this model

This is the PC edition. Razer sells separate PlayStation and Xbox editions of the BlackShark V2 Pro; buy the one for your console.
Sidetone (hearing yourself) and THX Spatial Audio are set in Razer Synapse on Windows 10 64-bit or later.
The 2023 model charges over USB-C; the older BlackShark V2 Pro charges over Micro-USB.
A dongle that fits a console's USB port doesn't mean the console takes the mic: check which platforms its maker lists on this page.
No stand or arm needed: the mic is on the headset.
Use the cable in the box; you only need an adapter if your computer lacks that port.
