GEARRazer BlackShark V2 X — a wired headset with an integrated microphone
An all-in-one wired choice if you need headphones and a microphone together. Its analogue connection keeps setup simple, but the fixed microphone and cable limit repair and upgrade options.
- Connection
- 3.5 mm analogue
- Drivers
- 50 mm
- Weight
- 240 g (manufacturer)
Strengths
- Built-in boom microphone avoids a separate desktop mic purchase
- Analogue 3.5 mm connection needs no headset battery
Trade-offs
- The microphone and cable are not detachable
- A PC with separate audio and microphone sockets may need a compatible splitter
Choose this when you need voice chat too
The BlackShark V2 X bundles a headset and microphone in one device. That can be simpler than choosing IEMs, a desk microphone and an adapter separately. Make sure the cable reaches your headphone socket without stretching across the mouse area.
Check the connector on your computer: a combined headset socket handles sound and microphone together, whereas separate sockets can require a splitter. Confirm the accessories supplied with the exact listing rather than assuming every regional package is the same.
Compare the upgrade paths
The HyperX Cloud III is another wired option worth comparing if a detachable microphone matters to you. If you already have a good desk mic, the SIMGOT EW200 offers an in-ear alternative without a headband.
For CS2, begin with the game’s own audio settings and avoid stacking spatial effects from multiple applications. Read our audio setup guide, then compare the choices in the headset versus IEM guide.
