This is the 2022 model, identified by part number RZ04-03240100-R3M1 [citation:2][citation:19]. Available at Alfrensia for 2,699 EGP.

Razer TriForce 50mm Drivers for Immersive Audio

The BlackShark V2 X features Razer TriForce 50mm Drivers, which use a patented design that divides the driver into three parts. Because each part is tuned separately, the headset produces richer trebles, brighter midrange, and more powerful bass [citation:5][citation:15]. With a frequency response of 12 Hz – 28 kHz, it captures a wide range of audio details, allowing you to hear subtle in-game cues and explosive sound effects with precision [citation:3][citation:5]. The 32 Ω impedance and 100 dB sensitivity ensure optimal audio output across various devices, providing a robust sound profile for gaming and multimedia [citation:3][citation:5].

Razer HyperClear Cardioid Mic for Clear Communication

The headset includes the Razer HyperClear Cardioid Mic, a bendable microphone with a unidirectional pick-up pattern. Because it focuses on your voice while suppressing background noise from the sides and back, your teammates hear you clearly during critical moments [citation:5][citation:15]. The microphone has a frequency response of 100 Hz – 10 kHz and a sensitivity of -42 dB V/Pa at 1 kHz [citation:3][citation:5]. For added convenience, the mic mute toggle is built into the earcup, so you can mute or unmute without reaching for a cable [citation:4].

Advanced Passive Noise Cancellation and Comfort

The BlackShark V2 X uses closed earcups and breathable memory foam cushions that form a tight seal around your ears. Because the seal blocks ambient noise, you can stay focused on your game without external distractions [citation:5][citation:11]. At just 240g, the headset is ultralight and designed to reduce head and ear fatigue during long sessions [citation:5][citation:15]. The oval ear cushions have an inner diameter of 63 mm x 43 mm, providing ample space for most ear sizes [citation:3][citation:5]. The adjustable padded headband uses a stainless-steel wire core for durability, wrapped in plush leatherette for comfort [citation:17].

Cross-Platform Compatibility and Controls

The headset connects via a 3.5mm analog jack, making it compatible with PC, Mac, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices with a 3.5mm port [citation:5][citation:15]. For PC users, 7.1 Surround Sound software is available for Windows 10 64-bit, providing accurate positional audio for a competitive edge [citation:3][citation:5]. The 1.3-meter cable provides enough length for typical desk setups [citation:3]. On-earcup controls include volume up/down and a mic mute toggle, so you can adjust audio and mute the microphone without leaving your game [citation:4][citation:5].
