Razer BlackShark V2 features
In the official press release for the product, Razer explained: "In esports, clarity of sound and communications is everything. Being able to hear the slightest audio cue and communicate clearly with teammates makes the difference between the glory of the win or being a footnote on the tournament roster." To this end, the new TriForce Titanium driver was created to improve in some key areas identified by players.
Both the V2 and the V2 X include on-ear controls to allow players to adjust the headset's volume, as well as muting and turning on the microphone. The V2 features a USB sound card which can be used to improve the audio further on any platform including a USB slot, while the surround sound feature on the V2 X only works on Windows 10 64-bit. A bit frustrating for console players, but it's still a great value product.
