Blackshark v2 Pro (2023) Xbox Connectivity

As far as I’m aware, the Blackshark v2 Pro (2023) does not work wirelessly via the use of the included dongle on the Xbox Series X|S. In order for the headset to work properly, can I use a USB-C to 3.5mm to connect the headset to the controller? Or do I use a 3.5 to 3.5 and lose functionality of the headset’s mic?

Upon further testing, this headset simply does not work on Xbox Series X|S at all. I tried connecting to the console using both methods mentioned above as well as plugging the headset directly into the console and nothing seems to work. This is highly disappointing, such a well reviewed/regarded headset is virtually useless for a huge player-base simply by not being compatible with Xbox. Hope to see this resolved in the future.

I've tried everything, but it doesn't work in the app on Xbox and isn't recognized either. I think it's a shame that I spent so much money on a headset and it doesn't work. I went from PC to Xbox and already had the headset. Do I really have to buy a new headset now?

This is a damn shame that's such a well-regarded headset cannot be used on Xbox Xbox series S/X or even Xbox One. I put all this money into this company as an Xbox player and they can't do the simple satisfaction of updating firmware on a simple headset which is quite easy to do to make it compatible with the console of Xbox this is such a disappointment to this company in which I have put so much money in high regarding to and promote for free on a daily basis so if y'all don't fix this soon I may just burn and throw away all everything I bought and trash talk the fact that you guys are not about your player base at all. So please have this resolved by winter it'll be lovely cuz I just spent $230 on this his headphones to virtually be absolutely useless what a damn disappointment in razor....

No bro it doesn't work for Xbox at all which is quite upsetting. I have put so much money into this company to buy their products to buy the next best headphones and they come out with for it to not be compatible with all the Xbox which is the biggest disappointment of ever this company's ever giving me so I might as well destroy all my belongings and I say razor on them and go to back the turtle Beach or Astro.

And all they got to do is update some firmware and it would be seamlessly possible for everybody to be able to use these magnets and headphones on Xbox consoles but they're too lazy to care about their customers and do the simple task of updating firmware which takes little to nothing my God time for me to go to coding boot camp to f****** learn some more coating again to fix this problem for him.

For the Blackshark v2 Pro (2023) to work with the Xbox Series X|S, since the wireless dongle is not compatible, you have a couple of wired options:

  1. USB-C to 3.5mm Adapter: You can use a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter to connect the headset directly to the Xbox controller. This method should allow you to use both the headphones and the microphone. However, it's important to ensure the adapter supports microphone input, as not all adapters are capable of this.

  2. 3.5mm to 3.5mm Connection: Alternatively, you can connect the headset using a standard 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable. This method should also support both audio and microphone functionality, assuming the cable is a TRRS (tip-ring-ring-sleeve) type that supports microphones.

For either option, ensure that your Xbox controller is updated to the latest firmware, which can improve device compatibility. If you face issues with the setup or need to troubleshoot, checking the official Razer support might help.

Just like updating device drivers or checking compatibility, ensuring your gaming setup is optimized can enhance your gaming experience. Similarly, if you're looking to optimize your Roblox experience, consider using tools like Solara Executor.
