THE BLACKSHARK

If you like aircraft simulators then the design of the Blackshark will certainly be familiar to you thanks to the round design of both earcups and the entire metal frame. The green/black theme may not be something we see with the headsets used in aircraft but naturally Razer used their company color-theme (they also make the BF3 edition with an orange/black color combination).

The exterior of both earcups is made by hard glossy plastic which looks and feels great (although it's a dust magnet).

There's also a long exhaust hole placed ontop of each of the earcups.

The boom microphone also has a metal frame and as you can see from above it is removable.

Both to protect the microphone connector and also for better looks Razer is providing a replacement cover.

As you can see the boom microphone is adjustable but because of its metal frame it can't compete in that area with the flexibility of some others (one of the reasons as to why Razer decided to make it removable). 

The leatherette earpads are extremely comfortable for small/medium sized ears but not really for people with large ears (they do however offer excellent audio isolation because of their thickness).

Above each earcup there's a thumbscrew used to adjust the length of the headband. Each side can extend a total of 30mm which means that with both sides extended fully you can get a total of 60mm more in length.

Right and Left markings are placed behind both headband arms.

The headband itself is quite thick and also made out of memory foam and leatherette just like the earpads.

The cable (almost looks like UV-reactive) is plain and not braided while the primary 3.5mm mini-jack connector is gold plated.
