Design and construction
At first glance, the Razer Blackshark V2 Hyperspeed resembles its predecessor, the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro. The most obvious change is the reduced weight: At less than 10 ounces (280 grams), it’s nearly 1.5 ounces lighter than the Pro model. This weight reduction is achieved by using a lighter plastic and imitation leather for the ear pads.
Despite the material adaptations, comfort remains high, even if the longevity of the imitation leather appears questionable. The pressure distribution and the adjustment options via the thin metal sliders offer a firm fit without excessive tightness.

Technical specifications
The Razer Blackshark V2 Hyperspeed is characterized by an impressive range of technical specifications, at least on the data sheet, which makes it an attractive option for gamers. At the core of the headset are so-called “Razer TriForce Titanium” drivers with a 50 millimeter diameter, which are known for their ability to cover a broad frequency spectrum from 12Hz to 28kHz.
These drivers provide a detailed soundscape that reproduces both low bass and high frequencies clearly and accurately, which can be particularly useful for locating opponents in esports titles.
