If you play a lot of competitive FPS titles, then you'll be fully aware of how important sound cues and directional audio can be. It can make or break a match or situation. Being able to rely on your audio equipment is important. Hence why gaming giants Razer have teamed up with some of the leading esports athletes from around the world to develop products that are well suited to the high pressure situations that can arise when competing at the highest level. The BlackShark V2 Pro headset is one such product, being the number 1 choice for Valorant on Prosettings.net. It features preset and pro-tuned FPS audio profiles for some of the most popular FPS titles, such as Call of Duty and Counter Strike.

The BlackShark V2 Pro comes in three variants – each being tailored to a different platform – PC, Playstation and Xbox – alongside that, all 3 are compatible with Nintendo Switch and mobile devices via Bluetooth.

Alongside everything sounding great to the wearer – sound quality the other way has been a big focus from Razer too with each headset featuring the same detachable HyperClear Wideband microphone. Customisation within Synapse on PC allows users to really dial in sound that suits them – with the addition of EQ tweaks, noise removal, vocal clarity and sidechain.
