Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have had the blissful experience of getting to use this gaming headset for over a week and honestly, I am hooked. Razer really knows how to make gaming PC peripherals that just effortlessly blend into my daily use. I really love that this headset supports simultaneous Bluetooth and 2.4ghz connectivity and audio! Being able to listen to music and game audio on my computer while watching a YouTube podcast on my phone at the same time is so great and supports my undiagnosed ADHD, haha! The audio of the headset itself is really great. I think that the esports setting is my favorite of the preset options as it seems to emphasize a good blend of mids and treble without going excessive on the bass. The set up of these headphones was very easy. The Razer Synapse 4 software was prepared to update the firmware on the headset and all the settings were able to be managed appropriately on it when I first powered it on with the 2.4ghz wireless receiver plugged in. Speaking of, all the included cables are fabric braided and the 2.4ghz receiver is able to be placed wherever in your set up you need it with the hook up to a USB-C to USB-A braided cable that is about 3-4 feet long. The only thing that I have found to be lacking is ambient noise mode and microphone. I could use more volume on my ambient surrounds when in that mode and I the microphone comes through sounding rather compressed and tinny at times. Altogether, I think this is yet another amazing iteration of the Blackshark gaming headset from Razer and they demonstrate a versatility and usefulness that is bound to be appreciated by most any user!

This is probably the best headset i've owned after spending the time to set my EQs properly. It took some time to get the firmware updates and software installed and tweaked. Sometimes the software can be janky and needs to be restarted. It has a really good mic, and the software has a lot of useful enhancements. It's got EQ for outgoing mic, and it's better than the old nvidia broadcast noise cancellation. This headset has the most powerful bass of any headphone I've ever worn. It physically shakes your head. Battery life is superb, and the range is insane. I used to have my old headset cut out when I walked to the other side of my apartment to go to the bathroom. Now I can walk all the way to my garage and it doesn't cut audio. The ANC is good, but I don't have anything to compare it to as this is my first headset with ANC. The presentation is clean, no unnecessary RGB barf or logos, just the subtle black one. I wish the volume knob was on the right side, I just have to re-learn muscle memory. The sliding parts that attach to the cans could have a bit more friction so they don't move. The only real issue I have is that the pads are too shallow and my ears touch the inside of the headset. Hopefully some aftermarket/3rd party companies can make some thicker pads for me, but I know this is a new headset and they haven't had the time.

The overall quality is certainly there. This headset is very well made and sturdy. The firmness does lead to a bit of uncomfortability upon extended use, which is honestly the only thing keeping this from being a 5 star review. The general weight of it since it is a bit on the heavier side (because it is built to be firm) and also the mute button. For whatever reason the mute switch is on the back side of the ear cup, so you have to reach around the back side of the headset in order to mute it. This couldn't be any type of issue normally, but there is no indicator physically as to whether the switch is flipped on or off either so you have to actually remove it and look at it if you aren't sure. The pros are simple, this thing is easily the most durable headset I've purchased. The majority of it is made of metal rather than many that are made with mostly plastic generally. The actual microphone piece that plugs in is rather large, but the audio quality that it provides is very good. The battery life for it is also very good. I use headsets regularly for gaming at decent lengths, and I have only had to fully charge it about once at this point despite now having it for almost a month. All things considered I would recommend this product, especially if you're someone that doesn't utilize headsets for extensive sessions at a time because the qaulity is great!

Overall these headphones provide immersive gaming and great audio quality due to the large drivers and software provided to tune it to your liking. I found the fit and feel heavier than I like and the foam ear muffs didn’t quite seal as tightly as I expected but that is an individual preference which yours may be different. Because they are large full ear covering headphones they do get warm especially after intense gaming sessions. The removeable mic has its good and bad side but overall I liked it. Bottom line is if you like the fit these headphones will put you into the game vs just hearing it. Pros: - Great immersive and THX sound quality especially for gaming - Good ANC - Vocal updates and status notifications - Synapse 4 software offers lots of options and control - 2.4 wireless and Bluetooth connectivity - Removeable microphone Cons: - Big headphones = can get hot and heavy after a while - Big volume control sticking out of an ear muff – almost Frankensteinish - No RGB - No flip up Microphone mute function - Not the best fit for me around the ears Performance: The Synapse 4 software has a THX demo that really showcases the immersive ability of these headphones. Playing Forza 5 it was quite obvious that the sound was much more immersive. Even playing War Thunder which isn’t THX still provided a much more 3d sound stage than normal. The overhead aircraft sounded directly over me as they flew past my position. In FPS games you definitely get more directional sounds which are an advantage. The microphone is an attachment so it’s not built into the headphones. Because of this it has a separate mute button vs the raise and lower boon type mic on other headphones. I was able to have the headphones connected wirelessly via the dongle while also connected to my phone via Bluetooth. Because it uses voice status updates instead of cryptic beeps all the functions are much easier to perform. All the controls on the headphones were easy to reach and recognize by touch. Razer provides full control of the headphones via the Synapse 4 app which is quite helpful and easy to use. The software list the games on your computer and will actually tell you which games support THX so you can get the most out of headphones. Fit and Feel: These are heavy headphones and the large volume control sticking out of the ear muff give you a sense that they are extra heavy. In reality the fit is comfortable but a tad on the heavy side which combined with the full ear muff can get noticeable over time.

I needed a new headset after my old one got uncomfortable and started costing me in-game awareness. After researching and comparing the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro and the Arctis Nova Pro, I went with Razer..and I’m so glad I did. This headset flipping rocks. Super lightweight, insanely comfortable, and the sound is phenomenal. Game presets are spot-on, THX audio is immersive, and the boom mic is removable. Active noise canceling? Yep, and it works great. There were concerns about the mic online, but Razer patched that with a firmware update. Even before the fix, I used Digital Foundry’s setup tips and never had a single complaint about mic quality. This is easily the best headset I’ve ever used for gaming. Comfortable, powerful, customizable. I love this headset, and you will too.

I really like this headset. I've struggled to find a headset that I like and this one meets all my needs. ANC is important to me because my PC fans are rather loud and the ANC on this completely removes fan noise. Typically ANC has meant uncomfortable, warm, and heavy headsets, I was shocked by how comfortable this headset is. The fit/comfort for me is perfect. The headset is relatively light, has the perfect amount of clamping force for my head, and doesn't get warm. Sounds good and that's about all I can say about sound. I've been using with the Battlefield 6 beta and the sound immersion is very enjoyable. I'm able to locate enemies via footsteps too so I feel competitive.

The BlackShark V3 Pro is a clear and meaningful step up from the V2 Pro – easily the best wireless gaming headset Razer has released to date. What actually got fixed/improved: Finally USB-C charging. The old micro-USB port on the V2 was infuriating – stiff, finicky, and the cable popped out if you breathed on it. USB-C is rock-solid and fast-charges without drama. Much better microphone. Noticeably clearer and more natural-sounding than the V2’s already decent mic. Detachable, flexible, and feels premium now. User-replaceable battery. A magnetic side plate pops off and you can swap the battery yourself. Huge win for longevity (and Razer actually sells spares). Sound quality, comfort balance, and 2.4 GHz connection feel refined rather than reinvented – which is fine because the V2 was already excellent in those areas. The one lingering complaint (why not 5 stars): The stock ear pads are still the weak link. They’re “good enough” for 1-2 hour sessions, but after 3–4 hours my ears get hot and fatigued – same exact issue I had with every previous BlackShark. Third-party pads (Wicked Cushions, Brainwavz, etc.) completely transform the comfort, and I’ll almost certainly be replacing them again. It’s frustrating that Razer still hasn’t nailed stock pads on a $250 headset in 2025. Verdict: If you own a V2 Pro, the USB-C, better mic, and replaceable battery alone make the upgrade worth it – especially when the V3 occasionally drops to ~$170-180 on sale. If you’re coming from anything older (or a different brand entirely), just buy the V3 Pro and budget $40-60 for aftermarket ear pads. With that one swap, this is a legitimate 5-star headset. Highly recommended.

The Razer BlackShark V3 Pro ANC Wireless is fantastic! The sound quality is crisp, the active noise canceling works flawlessly, and the lightweight design makes it comfortable for long gaming sessions. Battery life is impressive, and the wireless connection is rock-solid with zero lag. The plush ear cushions add extra comfort, and the mic quality is clear for team chats. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for gamers who want premium audio and comfort.

I really like this headset. The battery life is great, sound is great and comfort is great. It doesn’t make my ears sweat and feels made of premium materials. The only gripe I have is razer software is not very intuitive to use and sometimes crashes while making changes or loading. If they can fix that this would be a 5/5

This headset is amazing. The earpads are comfortable and are great if you have a big head and ears. It has an insane amount of features, such as: - active noise cancellation that works great for getting rid of minor sounds like an A/C unit. -They have Bluetooth that can be used SIMULTANEOUSLY, which is awesome. This means that while you are waiting for your game to load, you can actually listen to your phone audio or even take a call that can actually use the headset mic, while you can still listen to your game on your pc - an insane headset microphone, one of the best ones that shares the top spot with the HS80 headset from Corsair. Make sure to download the update once you boot up the companion app, which makes the mic sound 100x better. This headset is better than the HS80 max for the features, and for the sound, I believe it's better than the Steel Series Artics Nova Pro Wireless, which costs 300-350 dollars with a much worse microphone. Overall, if you have the money to spend and are looking for a great-sounding headset with great battery life and a ton of features, this is the one to go with.

This is the best gaming headset I have ever owned. Finally, a great cordless headset that is light, well-built and long-lasting battery. Not to mention great sound!

Very comfortable and sounds great I like being able to change the sound profiles from the headset with the touch of a button. Side tone is nice and loud. And ANC works well.

This may all day use office headset. I like how the mic works and now with dual audio for Bluetooth and 2.4 connection. The battery runs really well.

Love it. Fits comfortably on my head. Isn't too heavy and sound quality is great. The noise canceling completes it.

The more I stay with Razer and their headphones the more I am wowed by their quality. These headphones ROCK!!! easy to use and a strong battery life. I am more than pleased.

Coming from the V2, I appreciate that this new V3 has ANC. Noise-wise, sounds about the same, which is fine. One slight miss to me is the dongle - while it looks fine on my desk and I'm sure is for aesthetics, it no longer was a simple plug-in, and requires a USB-C cable. Also am glad that it has voice prompts / beeps for everything - especially when mute/unmute the mic, something the V2 didn't have.

By far best headset I've owned, extremely comfortable and the software is extremely easy to use with lots of customization. Design is sleek and simple with ease of access features. Just a great headset overall.

My fiance loves this headset. Great sound quality with great options for adjusting different sound profiles. It also has great sound canceling effects, good mic quality and fits him great. Overall a great purchase.

My son is a gamer & his gaming equipment gets used every day. The headset is comfortable & works well. This headset lasted much longer in good working condition than others I have purchased in the past. The sound quality & the construction of the headset is really good.

Very comfortable - sounds great. Industry had some concerns with mic sound quality at launch but was fixed within 1st week with update. Love the blending feature and that this shows up as two different mics and headsets in windows so you can assign one to your discord and one to your game and properly blend from the headset. If you use other Rader devices and are already in their ecosystem (synapse) then this headset is a no brainer.
