Razer Blackshark V2 vs Blackshark V2 Pro - Where are the differences?
Where are the differences?
Let's compare the two Razer branded gaming headsets and take a closer look at the differences between the Blackshark V2* and Blackshark V2 Pro*.
What year are the headsets from?
The release year is of course important when comparing two headsets. After all, the release date has an influence on the state of the art and usually also affects the price. There is no difference in this comparison. Both gaming headsets, the Razer Blackshark V2 and the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro, are from the year 2020. Thus, the technical starting point is not very different.
Connection options
Let's start with the connectivity options from Razer Blackshark V2 and Razer Blackshark V2 Pro. Both give you the option to be wired. A wired connection reduces connection problems and interference, which is an advantage. In return, the cable can possibly interfere.
Radio offers the disadvantage that there can be interference in the verdinbung. In addition, with radio you are usually dependent on a battery, which can also go flat during use. Only with the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro* do you get the option to connect wirelessly. This is not possible with the Razer Blackshark V2. However, often the wireless headsets also offer the additional option to connect the headset via cable.
Cable and battery
In this comparison, only the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro has an integrated battery. The Razer Blackshark V2 Pro has a battery life of up to 16,0 hours.
With the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro you have the possibility to remove the cable. This is advantageous for the transport or also use by radio. With a length of 1,8 m the Razer Blackshark V2* has a longer cable. The cable length of the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro is 1,3 m. With a USB sound card additional cable can be added.
Audio
Both gaming headsets have a driver of 50 mm and thus do not differ. The bigger the driver, the better and louder low frequencies can be reproduced. However, it depends on more factors and can therefore only be taken as a small benchmark.
The frequency range starts at 12 Hz for both models. The end is at 28000 Hz for both. What is really important here is the range between 50 Hz and 10,000 Hz, which is covered by just about every headset nowadays.
The higher the impedance, the more power a speaker can produce. Also the sound becomes clearer. With a value of 32 Ω both models are equal here.
Microphone
Of course, both headsets have a microphone built in, which is also adjustable. Additionally, the microphone can be detached for both the Razer Blackshark V2 and the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro. If no microphone is needed or the headset is to be transported, this can be an advantage.
Neither of them has noise suppression. To suppress keystrokes or mouse clicks for the others this is handy.
Both microphones have a frequency range which starts at 12 Hz. The end of both microphones is at 28000 Hz
Volume control and mute
Almost every gaming headset offers the possibility of volume control and mute. So it is also in this case.
Both models offer the option of muting. The operation is done for the Razer Blackshark V2 and Razer Blackshark V2 Pro by Auricle.
Which headset has more features?
Finally, let's take a look at the equipment. Here, some models have lighting. These two headsets don't have that, but it doesn't affect the performance negatively. After all, the illumination is just a matter of taste.
Furthermore, some headsets have freely programmable buttons, as is also known from gaming mice or keyboards. But you have to do without this for the Razer Blackshark V2 and Razer Blackshark V2 Pro.
