Razer BlackShark V2 X
BUDGET PICK
£ 35.54
The budget king. Replaces the old A10 by offering superior 50mm drivers and advanced passive noise cancellation in a featherweight, comfortable chassis.
Pros
- ✓ Pro-grade mic for the money: The cardioid mic delivers crisp, broadcast-quality voice clarity that embarrasses its price bracket.
- ✓ Tuned for FPS: The 50mm TriForce drivers deliver a punchy, directional soundstage optimized for footstep tracking.
- ✓ Featherweight comfort: At 240g with memory foam cushions, it disappears during long grinding sessions.
Cons
- ✗ Fixed cable compromise: The non-detachable cable is the main trade-off — expect wear at the connector over time.
- ✗ Plastic-heavy construction: Lacks the premium feel of the metal-frame options above, but the build is solid for the price.
