Amazon is currently offering the Razer BlackShark V2 Wired CourageJD Edition Gaming Headset for $59.99 shipped. Normally going for $110, this 45% discount or solid $50 price drop marks a return to the all-time low price we’ve tracked once before today. As this is the CourageJD edition of the BlackShark V2, it comes with a nice dark blue and yellow color scheme which I personally like compared to the solid black of the original edition. You’ll have the ability to connect this headset to your desktop over a 3.5mm connection or the included USB DAC which itself will give you access to THX Spatial Audio. The removable Hyperclear Cardioid microphone used here has better voice isolation and can be tuned within the Razer Synapse software. Audio controls located on the headset make on-the-fly adjustments simple. Be sure to check out our hands-on review of the Razer BlackShark V2 to learn more and keep reading below.
You can save some cash by instead going with the Razer Kraken Gaming Headset for $45. Similar to the BlackShark V2 above, this headset is wired over 3.5mm so you retain the wide platform compatibility. The microphone here isn’t detachable but it does retract back into the earcup when not in use and while traveling. Audio controls are also in-line with the audio cable for on-the-fly volume adjustment and microphone mute toggling. There is even virtual 7.1 surround sound when used with a Windows PC so you can better hear where enemies are coming from. Made from bauxite aluminum, the Razer Kraken headset is designed to be lightweight and portable for on-the-go use.

You’ll also find the Push-Fit Switch Socket II within this mouse so you can swap out the switches used if they break or if you want a different feel.
