Razer Blackshark V2 Pro defect. Should I buy another? | Razer Insider
Skip to main content
About a month ago I bought the wireless Blackshark V2 Pros and there was a rattling sound in the left earcup that apparently is a common issue with these. Something inside the left earcup sounds like it came loose and is able to rattle when the headphones are tilted in certain directions. I returned it within around a week through Amazon, just because it was much simpler with their laid back return policy. I got the pair replaced, but the issue persists. Other forums talked about the defect being either present at purchase or being unnoticeable from the start but progressively getting worse in the following days/weeks after purchase. From what I've read, the headphones either come with this part knocked loose, or it's ready to be knocked loose with some regular use.



I am going to return my second pair, but I'm wary of buying another. This is quite frustrating for a $200 "pro" pair of headphones that I barely even used. The Blackshark V2 Pros check all the boxes for me, (low-latency wireless, detachable mic, surround) but this issue just ruins it, especially now that it's happened twice. Is it worth trying again? Does anybody have a working set of Blacksharks? Also, I'm worried that if I buy another, the issue (clearly a defect or manufacturing/design problem) might appear late outside of Amazon's 30 day return policy or Razer's replacement period, based on these headphones' previous track record.
