Razer BlackShark V2 Pro
The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro takes the game-changing advances in audio and microphone technology found in the recently released Razer BlackShark V2 and improves upon them with a new microphone housing and additional speaker chamber. Powered by Razer HyperSpeed Wireless technology, the headset delivers lossless immersive audio for low-latency wireless gaming, with up to 24 hours of battery life and 12 meters of wireless range. The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro uses the same Razer TriForce Titanium 50 mm Drivers that debuted in the multi-award-winning Razer BlackShark V2. Now with an additional speaker chamber, the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro delivers even brighter, clearer audio, with individually tuned high, mid and low range frequencies for clearer trebles, a rich midrange and powerful bass. Complemented by THX Spatial Audio with Game Profiles, bringing 360-degree immersive audio that delivers a competitive edge to gamers, the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is the definitive wireless esports headset. Featuring the all-new 9.9 mm Razer HyperClear Supercardioid Mic, the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro delivers ultra-clear voice quality for team comms, even in the heat of battle. With improved voice isolation, rejecting more ambient noise from the back and sides, increased sensitivity for greater low frequency response, and an optimized housing for added clarity and accurate voice pick-up, your teammates are sure to hear every word you say.

For long play sessions and uninterrupted immersion, the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is lightweight yet durable at just 320 g and has a closed earcup design with plush leatherette-lined ear cushions for excellent passive noise cancellation to block out unwanted external sounds. Equipped with ultra-soft memory foam ear cushions to greatly reduce the headset's clamping force, the ear cushions and headband use FlowKnit fabric, a breathable weave that reduces sweat and heat build-up at the contact points. This winning combination makes the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro the ultimate wireless gaming headset. For more information, please see here.
