Customer Ratings & Reviews

As a longtime user of Razer products, especially their Deathadder V3 mice (Hyperspeed and Pro) and headsets (Blackshark V2 Pro and V3 Pro) and desktop audio (Nommo V2) - I am confused about this product. I don't understand what Razer was trying to bring to the market. As I continue to use and get time with this new headset... I find myself liking it less and less. The Blackshark V3 Pro has some new features compared to V2 - Most importantly, for gamers, would be the new Hyperspeed Wireless dongle. This device is meant to give you lightning fast response times on your audio delivery. Think of this as "ensuring you hear the footsteps before they ever reach you" technology. I, personally, am not enough of a professional gamer to notice the difference. I do believe that for those who want the fastest response time for their audio, with no cables allowed, Razer offers a compelling solution. Razer's V3 Pros also have ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) with transparency mode. The ANC and transparency modes are lackluster, to say the least. I daily drive popular audio solutions from popular audio manufacturers, with ANC, both earbuds and on-ear headphones. Let me just say... Razer's ANC, from my point of view, does absolutely nothing, except add a muffle to all of the sound happening around you. I find that distracting. If ANC does not truly clear sound out of my environment. I'd rather have it off. There are 3 different types of ANC that you can toggle between in Razer Synapse, Razer's desktop software for all of their PC hardware and accessories. I did not see a noticeable difference between the 3 modes. I was not able to even block out the noise of soft jazz playing in the other room. The music was slightly muffled, but that's all I can say. If you have a fan that is blowing silently behind you, the ANC will mask that sound. If the fan is a bit too noisy, then you'll probably hear it through the ANC. The build on this device is... Degraded, compared to the V2. I do understand the need to cut costs, in today's economy. What I do not understand... Is why the V3 feels so much cheaper than the V2. It seems that Razer did a great job picking out high quality foams for the V2. I would say that the ear covers were soft and luxurious, same goes for the top of the headband. On the V3, there is a new type of bio-based polymer that they are using, along with (I assume) a new memory foam or padding fill material. Here's my honesty though - I don't find the headset comfortable. I don't like how it sits on my head or on my ears. I feel that the foam bottoms out much sooner than it should, which is extremely bothersome for someone like me who wears his gaming headset for long sessions. I don't like the idea of wearing a headset that's uncomfortable. Razer used to have the most comfortable and cloud-comparable headset on the market with the Blackshark V2. Finally, I feel that the plastics they have moved to, no longer feel premium. The new plastic feels cheap. It's too light and hollow feeling. There is a subtle difference between lightweight-premium and cheap-feeling. Razer went over the edge, and the new plastic does not feel premium. It's passable. I don't think it's passable on a premium-grade audio product, though. Premium audio - how good is the audio? Again, lackluster. I do not know what they did when they chose their new 50mm drivers, but the drivers in the V2 were wonderful. I did not have any complaints about the audio quality. The V2 was not audiophile grade - but it was comfortable, clear, and well-sounding across all audio ranges. Music, movies, shooters, and RPGs, were all a joy to listen to with the V2. With V3... You will be just fine in games. I want to ensure clarity here - the audio that you get from games will be fast, performant, and I do believe that the THX virtual surround sound technology (Included in Razer Synapse) will help you in your Fortnite grind. It's important to hear what's around you, and you do get that experience with the Blackshark V3. I don't recommend enjoying a movie or your favorite tunes on here, though. There is a remarkable lack of rumbly bass, a lack of clear highs, a lack of balance in the mids, and everything begins to sound like discord above about 80% volume on Windows 11. This is... Not, at all, what I expected from Razer. I've used their audio solutions in the past. They have always delivered reasonably good results for me. This leaves me wondering if there is something wrong with the drivers on my unit, but based on all I've seen and tested so far, I don't believe anything is physically wrong with my headset. To be clear - I tested audio across many use cases with the EQ enabled in Razer Synapse, THX surround sound enabled and disabled, ANC on and off. The mic quality and Bluetooth quality are great. Bluetooth connection is strong and reliable, but the audio quality will still be suspect. Razer continues to lead the pack with a very high quality mic setup, which honestly, is one of the main goals with a gaming headset. You can wander around your house without losing connection to your phone or console, and I believe they used a quality Bluetooth chipset in this headset. Where does this leave us? I really don't know. I'm confused about this product. I feel like Razer built an amazing product previously, and they've chosen to take a step back on this release. I'm not sure if firmware can fix the ANC/Transparency effects, or audio quality, but I'm hopeful about it. I'd like to see this product be better, because it has the makings of something amazing. I won't say that the headset is purely uncomfortable to wear, but I won't lie about what is truly comfortable versus something that is passable. This leaves us in no man's land. I cannot recommend this product in its current state. If you find the headset to be comfortable to wear and Razer improves the headset through firmware updates, this may be the headset for you. For me, the Blackshark V3 Pro just does not fulfill my wants.

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 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.

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.

These are great. Miles better than 1st iteration. Comfortable and sound good. Good battery

This headset is great. I’ve used SteelSeries and Sennheiser headsets. I’m impressed with its build quality, noise cancellation, and comfort. The controls are great, and the tactile feel allows you to adjust settings without software. Synapse is a mixed bag, with slow loading times and bugs. Overall, it’s a solid headset with many features for $249. For ANC and similar features, you often pay above $300, so this is a compelling option.

Feature rich and excellent audio. Designed similar to my earpro that I use on the gun range so its comfortability is something I’m already used to, which is a big plus. Kudos from fellow gamers on how I sound through the outstanding mic.

Amazing sound quality. The mic also has great quality and clarity. Very comfortable as well. It does feel heavy initially right out of the box but after some use, you get used to it

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.

Sound quality is great and the noise cancelling is extremely good. Good battery life. Spacial audio is fantastic. If you haven’t spent money on a quality gaming headset I would definitely cross that line, it’s a whole new ballgame.

This are great so far. Both the ANC and mic are great. Very comfortable. The connection dongle is not a direct USB dongle, it’s a wired so it’s good for moving around for better connection.

Awesome headset. Comfortable, sleek and packed with a bunch of amazing features.

Great headset for gaming. The sound is clear and the battery life is pretty good.

This is 10/10. It’s so comfortable and it has good noise cancellation.

Excellent product — easy to connect and with great sound blocking.

The headset has comfortable ear pads and great sound quality. My friends are able to hear me clearly when we are gaming!

Sensational sound. Extremely comfortable. Expensive but worth every bit. Love all of Razer’s products. Highly recommended.

Best headset ive ever owned and super comfy and alot of bass

A great upgrade from the V2 version, bluetooth enabled, wireless connectivity and comfortable for long gaming sessions.

I have tried many gaming headsets & struggled to find one I love. This headset is great! Love the simultaneous audio & the phone app. Highly recommend.
