Razer's Secret Sauce: The BlackShark V2 Pro’s Outrageous Volume Knob

In a world where sleek, minimalistic designs reign supreme, Razer has decided to give a giant middle finger to subtlety with its BlackShark V2 Pro headset. The moment you lay eyes on it, you can't help but think, 'Wow, that volume knob is really out there!' It's as if Razer decided that moderation was for quitters and opted instead to give the volume knob its own zip code.

Sure, other headset manufacturers are busy hiding their buttons and dials like it's a bad hair day, but not Razer. No, they proudly display the BlackShark V2 Pro's infinite dial like a badge of honor. When you see that knob sticking out, you know you're in the presence of something bold — something that audaciously screams, 'Hey, look at me! I'm a volume dial!'

Convenience and comfort? Oh, they’ve got that covered too. The volume knob doesn't just stick out for the sake of it — it's thoughtfully designed. The infinite dial lets you rotate endlessly, kind of like a hamster in a wheel, with subtle clicks to remind you that you’re still in control. Run amok, volume enthusiasts! Razer even throws in an audio clue when you max out, because who needs physical limitations?

Razer also made sure that the headphones won't squeeze your head like a melon being juiced. The luxurious foam on the ear cups is so comfy, you might forget you're wearing them, which totally won't lead to awkward moments in Zoom meetings. The spacious inner cavity ensures your ears won’t feel like they’re trapped in a pressure cooker, a vast improvement over '90s elementary school headphones.

But let’s not gloss over the battery life, because apparently these things are the Energizer Bunnies of the gaming headset world. Razer claims 70 hours, but they’re just being humble. This thing will keep going like it’s training for an ultra-marathon. And when it finally does run out of juice, the USB-C charging setup is so thoughtfully accessorized, you'll forgive the headset for that time your cat thought the volume knob was a toy.

At publishing time, we were still trying to understand why no one else thought of making a volume knob the star of the show.
