As noted in our Razer Blackshark V2 Pro review, this headset is not only super reliable in its connection but offers great sound and a very clear microphone. It was more expensive than its predecessor, which brings it down somewhat, but this deal makes it a much more attractive package.
Gaming headsets have this annoying habit of being sold for PS5 or Xbox but us lucky PC gamers usually reap the rewards by being able to use either.

If you don't have USB-C on your PC or want to also plug it into an Xbox, the latter is your only choice here but the former is what you should go for if you have a spare USB-C slot.
