I’ve been in a constant search for the perfect headset for probably six or seven years. Gone through nearly a dozen headsets at a wide range of prices. This one is clearly on the higher end in terms of performance. It’s comfortable, sounds great, and has had no connection issues thus far. I’m a fan.

Pros: I work from home and on the phone for the majority of any given work day. I was looking for something that had simultaneous connection between bluetooth and wireless - this headset is almost perfect (I'll explain why "almost" below). While I use the headset a lot for work and talking, I also enjoy gaming after work and on the weekends. The audio for gaming has been excellent. I've used this set with my PC and Switch. It connects very quickly and I haven't noticed any delays. When the headset was originally released there were quite a few comments about the mic having issues. However, Razer pushed an update within a very short time and that was resolvd. I have asked individuals I'm talking to throughout the day about the quality of the mic, and I continue to be told that it is crystal clear. Cons: As referenced above with simultaneous connectivity - When I have the headset attached to bluetooth on my phone for talking, I am unable to switch the headset from bluetooth over to wireless/simultaneous. It's only when I'm using the voip at work though. If I'm just using it on my phone, it works fine. That's probably a work issue, not a Razer problem, but it's annoying if I'm trying to switch over to music/game. The only other con I have is that my ears tend to get a little warm. I typically use wicked cushion freezing gel earcups - once those are released, I'm hoping the warm issue is resolved. Overall - Great headset! A little. more expensive than what I was wanting to pay, however the quality of the headset justifies the price in my opinion.

As someone who uses the Razer ecosystem, this set of headphones fits perfectly with my setup. I’m a post-update user, so to me, this headset sounded great right out of the box, and the mic was crisp and clear. They are a bit heavy, but the padding and overall ergonomics allow for long gaming sessions without any discomfort. The battery life is the best part for me, as I rarely find myself needing to charge them. I haven’t even heard the low battery warning yet. The price is a bit steep, but I think they’re worth it.

So there's some sort of bug that means you can only use the chat mixer on one USB port on the computer. It seems it requires a specific port name in the software or something. I spent a bunch of time going back and forth with support and they got nowhere. Found tons of people on Reddit with the same issue. Beyond that, the headset itself is fine. Sounds good, ok battery life, and it works for both PC and Xbox

I did not regret the switch from my Sennheiser Gaming One headset. I had enjoyed that Gaming One series headset so much, I bought it twice. So you can imagine the hesitancy. Prior to buying the second Gaming One, I tried a Cloud series wireless headset and didnt like the sound quality. That was probably 3 years ago. That all said, these Blackshark V3 Pro series have changed my mind. The precision of sound is excellent when tuned with the EQ on the game setting in the Razer Synapse software. As an R6 player, that precision in audio is everything. Likewise, music is enjoyable in another preset. Switching presets is easy as reaching to the back of the right earphone and swapping modes. Another nice feature is the capability to have it simultaneously connect to your phone. Overall, its a high end headset that lives up to the marketing on the box: “For the Pros.”

Purchased as a gift for a hard to please young adult and he says they are very good. Great sound and mic quality. Very comfortable to wear for a long time ( and he does wear them A LOT). He likes that you can plug them into the controller when the charge is getting low. Noise cancelation is a bonus too. His only complaint is the green stitching, but that is an Xbox thing versus a headphone issue. He just liked the look of the all black model for the other platforms.

Has some great eq and also good ANC, very good battery life, also still has firmware updates you can download for free.

Very comfortable and great sound. Software has a lot of adjustments that are overwhelming at first but it’s worth it for the tunability. I also put on some Wicked Cushions earlads for a little more room around the ears.

Most razer products I’ve owned in the past have broke very quickly or were obviously cheaply made and lacked quality. To my surprise the sound on these are better than comparative gaming headsets and they sound good with music too. All headsets have pros and cons and they slightly lack heavy bass. Where they excel is the surround/spatial sound which I leave on all the time. So far so good, great settings and comfortable. They are expensive for sure but higher quality tends to be.

I got this headset after my V2 Pros died. I didn't love that this version (V3) has 3 variants. It made it confusing and took some features my V2 Pros had and put it only on the ANC V3's. I didn't love the extra cost, but I have really enjoyed this headset. The mic quality and sound is amazing. It's better than the V2 Pro, but not super different for the price. The ANC does help and the transparency mode is helpful as well. I have used this mostly on my Xbox but also bluetooth for my TV late at night. I will say TV audio comes in kind of quiet and not as rich as gaming. The audio modes help with that, but for this price tag I wish they were more polished.

I upgraded to this from the Blackshark V2, and on the surface, there's not much difference between the two models. They are both comfortable and sound great. I have an Xbox console right next to my computer, so for me, the biggest benefit is being able to swap the dongle (yes, there's a dongle) between my laptop and console. All I have to do is toggle the switch on the dongle, and I'm ready to use the headset on either device. Is this convenience worth $250? If you like the idea of having one single headset that work on both an Xbox and a laptop, then yes.

Now i know why the Pros use these. They have a great audio sound you can tell witch side you are being attached from. You can hear every bullet that comes by you all the foot steps around you. All the things you need to be a good gamer. These have a great ear cup for your ears no matter what size ears you have you have a lot of room yes they do get a little hot. I head strap cushion is very soft and comfortable and does not sit to heavy on your head. The connection to my XBOX very easy just plug i the USB connector and power on the headset. The unit does have noise cancellation and you can turn that off and on. Also has surround sound witch gives you that extra feeling of being in the game. The volume button stick out of the side that makes it easy to find and adjust, They do have a game chat balance knob on the other side of the headset but i didn't find that to work i kept trying to adjust the chat but it stayed the same. I did hear that the mic wasn't that great a little deep and they said it didn't sound like me. There voices came in just fine but they were a little low that were the chat balance needs to work but it wasn't. Overall a great headset just the 1 down side of it the chat volume not working that great.

Our son said its working great, crisp & clear sound, no issues with the mic & said it fits on his head comfortably. We highly recommend this brand & product!

Best headset I've had so far when it comes to connectivity issues! Audio is clear without being overpowered.

The sound quality is amazing. It comes through clear and crispy. The headphones are comfortable to wear too. This has improved my gaming experience like I can't believe. These were definitely worth the price.

These are Razer’s best headset to date. More features like simultaneous 2.4Ghz/Bluetooth and solid ANC. Even better drivers with clean clear audio but make sure to use ANC which effects the the audio and makes it even more balanced.

Great quality gaming headset with comfortable padding for longer gaming sessions, and it has great noise cancelation. Sound quality is also great. When chatting, friends reported that audio sounded good with no annoying feedback from mic.

Awesome headset. I tried this and the Blackshark V3 (against the Barracuda X 2022). The EQ actually does things and the speaker improvements are real - as you adjust the settings, your experience will change noticeably. I thought the ANC and the slightly better ear cushions were worth the $100 premium over the V3. The main advantage to the V3 is that it's lighter (but otherwise identical in performance)

I like the sound quality and the comfort and the connection between the bt and the headset and how fast it switches
