Our Verdict
Logitech G Pro Gaming Headset
Razer BlackShark V2
The Logitech G Pro Gaming Headset are better headphones than the Razer BlackShark V2. The Logitech are better-built and have a more comfortable fit, which is ideal for longer gaming sessions. They also come with a more robust set of controls than the Razer, and their microphone has a better out-of-the-box performance. That being said, both headphones come with a USB Soundcard and companion software that allows you to customize the sound profile and the microphone performance to your liking.
