Buy the Razer BlackShark V2 X.

It sounds better, records better, sits on your head longer without complaint, and actually works on your console.

What was compared

  • Razer BlackShark V2 X Xbox Gaming Headset, 3.5mm Audio Jack, Black | 50mm Drivers, Cardioi... — $169.99
  • Logitech H390 Wired Headset PC/Laptop Stereo Headphones, USB-A, Black | For PC/Laptop, ste... — $39.98

Five reasons

  1. 1. Tri-driver sound beats basic stereo drivers

    The BlackShark V2 X splits its 50mm drivers into three tuned parts for highs, mids and lows. The H390 runs generic stereo drivers built for Zoom calls, not music or game audio detail.

  2. 2. Its mic actually captures your voice cleanly

    Reviewers of the H390 describe the mic input as equivalent to a $1 generic headset even while the audio out is fine. The V2 X's cardioid mic is built specifically to isolate your voice from background noise, which matters the second you're in a party chat.

  3. 3. Over-ear memory foam beats warm on-ear pads

    At 240g with memory foam cushions, the V2 X is built for multi-hour sessions without ear fatigue. The H390 is on-ear, and owners note the cups get warm and uncomfortable for larger heads during extended use.

  4. 4. Works everywhere, not just one PC

    A 3.5mm jack means the V2 X plugs straight into Xbox, PS5, Switch and PC without drivers or adapters. The H390's USB-A connector locks you to laptops and desktops, and USB-C users need a dongle just to use it.

  5. 5. Yes, it costs more. That gap buys a real headset.

    The H390 is the cheaper pick and that's real if all you need is Zoom calls. But it's an office headset wearing gaming specs on the box, while the V2 X is purpose-built for hours of game audio and voice chat, which is what most buyers comparing these two actually want.
