Razer Blackshark Battlefield 3 Collector's Edition Headset Review

Over the past while Razer have been branching out into gaming branded peripherals. For the most part they have been of a high standard, even down to the packaging which on the Star Wars branded items was perfect for the brand involved. Back in November we looked at the Battlefield 3 gear which featured branded versions of the Onza, Blackwidow, Scarab and Imperator. One thing which was missing from the set though was a headset.

Rather than go with a rebranded version of an existing headset for their Battlefield 3 set Razer decided to design a new model and that is the Blackshark. Today we have the Blackshark on our test bench to see how it performs.

Packaging and Bundle


The Blackshark arrives packaged in a similar box to the Tiamat we reviewed recently. An external sleeve shows a clear image of the product as well as listing key information on the other sides and upon removing this we find a box inside with the headset suspended within.


Bundled with the Blackshark we get the usual selection of documentation from Razer as well as a voucher to get in-game dog tags and a cover for the mic location.
