Razer has just launched the new Razer BlackShark V2 Pro as a sort of mid-generation 2023 update to its original V2 Pro. But really, I'd have probably forgiven it for slapping on a V3 moniker as Razer has genuinely improved on what is still one of our favourite wireless gaming headsets.
But is it sufficiently improved to co-exist in a world where the original V2 Pro is still being sold by the bucketload, and getting on for near $100 less? That positioning and potential fratricide is the real issue for this 2023 edition of the headset, because otherwise it's a great set of cans.
