Buy the Razer BlackShark V2 X.

A gaming headset for gaming beats an office headset pretending to be one.

What was compared

  • Razer BlackShark V2 X Xbox Gaming Headset, 3.5mm Audio Jack, Black | 50mm Drivers, Cardioi... — $169.99
  • Logitech H391 Wired Headset PC/Laptop Stereo Headphones, USB-C, Graphite | Stereo headphon... — $299.00

Five reasons

  1. 1. Built for gaming, not conference calls

    The BlackShark V2 X uses gaming-tuned 50mm Triforce drivers and a cardioid mic meant to isolate footsteps and directional audio. The Logitech H391 is a plain stereo headset built for meetings, its drivers are not tuned for competitive play at all.

  2. 2. Works on your console, the Logitech does not

    The Razer's 3.5mm jack plugs straight into Xbox, PS5, PC and Switch. The Logitech H391 is USB-C only, locked to PC, laptop and Chromebook, so it is dead on arrival for anyone gaming on a console.

  3. 3. Lighter for long sessions than the Logitech

    At 240g with memory foam and leatherette cushions, the BlackShark V2 X is built to disappear during long gaming stretches. The H391 uses simpler on-ear leatherette pads meant for short call sessions, not hours of wear.

  4. 4. Costs less while doing more

    The Razer runs $169.99 against the Logitech's $299, yet it adds console compatibility, a gaming mic and lighter build the H391 cannot match. Paying more here buys a narrower, PC-only tool.

  5. 5. Yes, some owners report hinge wear. Buy it anyway.

    Owner reports flag the BlackShark hinges as a possible weak point after 6-12 months of heavy use. That is a fair trade for a headset that actually plays games everywhere, backed by up to 2 years of warranty support, versus a call headset that never had that job to begin with.
