According to our gaming headset expert
With the Razer BlackShark V2 X PlayStation Black, you can enjoy the best in-game audio and a powerful bass. You can connect the headset via the 3.5mm audio cable. This means the headset is plug and play, so you can use it right away. This gaming headset has special Razer TriForce 50mm drivers, so you can hear the treble and bass extra well. In competitive games, this gives you an advantage over your opponents. With surround sound, you can hear all the game audio in 360 degrees around you. That way, you know exactly where your opponents are coming from. In addition, you can communicate online with friends without background noise thanks to the noise suppression in the microphone. This way, your message always comes across clearly. If you often play alone or don't need a microphone, you can easily fold the headset microphone. This keeps it out of your way and you can keep gaming undisturbed.
Note: this gaming headset is made for the PlayStation, but you can also use it for the PC.

This headset is advertised as having surround sound. However, if you look into it a bit more, you quickly learn that a wired headset can never really offer surround sound. The reason is that only a stereo signal can be received via the 3.5mm connection. Consoles like PS4 and PS5 do not send surround sound via the headphone port, and this headset does not have a built-in surround processor. The advertised 7.1 surround only works via Razer software on PC and not on consoles. On the PS5, the Tempest 3D audio effect can add some spatial sound, but this is not the same as real surround sound
So I feel a bit cheated. I should have done my homework better. I'll test the headset for a few more days before making a final decision. Do you absolutely want surround sound? Then you should go for a wireless headset. Do you not necessarily want that and are you okay with a wire? Then you can maybe try the cheaper headsets without missing out on anything compared to this one from Razer.
