Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pros: Looks nice. Good battery life. Razer Synapse is okay as far as 3rd party software goes. Once tuned the mic and audio quality is pretty good. Wireless range seems good. The anc is okay, not great, but definitely helps with background noise. Cons: Out of the box the mic and audio are terrible. THX surround sound is awful and is basically unusable in most circumstances. The headset itself is heavy. I'm a bigger guy and my neck feels fatigue after a few hours of use. Downloading firmware for the headset is not straight forward and requires internet digging to access the right updates. This should be done in razer synapse. The wireless connection can be interrupted kinda easily by other wireless devices. You have to tinker with a ton of EQ settings to make everything sound right. Without it, the sound is tinny and quiet. The mic sounds muffled and cheap. Both are fixed with enough tuning, but this shouldn't be necessary out of the box.

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.

Comfortable and they sounds great. Battery life is pretty good.

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

Amazing sound, great battery life, and pretty solid ANC.

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.
