The decision

BlackShark V2 Pro 2023 is a candidate when you want a detachable boom microphone and a choice between its USB wireless dongle and Bluetooth. Choose the exact RZ04-0453 PC model. Earlier and console editions should not determine your expectations for connections or features.

Consider it when

  • A PC with an available USB-A port for the wireless dongle.
  • A user who wants to switch to a supported Bluetooth device when appropriate.

Look again when

  • Expecting the supplied USB charging cable to be a wired audio connection.
  • A requirement for simultaneous mixing rather than SmartSwitch source changes.

The checks that can change your choice

Charging and playback are different jobs

The documented USB-C cable is supplied for charging. Plan audio through the USB-A wireless dongle or Bluetooth rather than assuming that attaching the charge cable makes the headset a USB sound device.

Verify the active mode and microphone

SmartSwitch changes audio sources. Check the selected mode, output and recording device after switching, and test the detachable microphone’s seating and mute control before a call or game session.

Published specifications

2.4 GHz USB-A or Bluetooth 5.2; detachable boom microphone; 50 mm drivers; USB-C charging.

A different choice worth checking

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 WirelessThe standard Arctis Nova 5 Wireless suits someone who wants a retractable microphone and a USB-C wireless dongle that can also connect through the supplied USB-A adapter cable. Check platform support for the standard model; Nova 5X and 5P are separate variants with different intended host combinations.Read this model’s tradeoffs ↗Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEEDPRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED offers receiver-based wireless, Bluetooth and an analog listening route. That flexibility is useful when you genuinely use multiple sources, but each mode has its own setup. The graphene-driver description is a construction detail, not a measured sound-quality result, and the original PRO X Wireless should not supply this model’s connection assumptions.Read this model’s tradeoffs ↗
