The short version

The BlackShark V3 Pro pairs 50 mm TriForce Bio-Cellulose drivers with hybrid ANC, a detachable 12 mm mic, and 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, USB and 3.5 mm connections. Razer rates it at up to 70 hours on PC. Reviewers split on it: RTINGS calls it great for wireless gaming, while Tom's Hardware heard treble distortion and PC Gamer found the ANC modest. It suits buyers who want every connection option and accept that the cheaper non-Pro BlackShark V3 sounds similar.

Pros

  • Four connection modes including wired USB and 3.5 mm
  • Simultaneous 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth audio
  • Up to 70 hours of battery on a PC connection, with USB-C fast charging
  • RTINGS measured very low latency and a strong boom mic

Cons

  • Tom's Hardware reported treble distortion and an average mic
  • PC Gamer found the ANC limited and battery reduced with new features on
  • Bass delivery varies with glasses, hair or head shape, per RTINGS
  • Costs more than the similar-sounding non-Pro BlackShark V3

Best for

  • Competitive players who want low latency and many inputs
  • Buyers who need one headset across PC and PlayStation

What reviewers and owners say

  • Tom's Hardware

    Mixed

    Appreciated the simultaneous dual wireless and wired options and the design, but heard distortion in the highs and judged the mic and music performance unremarkable for the price.

  • PC Gamer

    Mixed

    Rated the new drivers and build highly but found the noise cancelling too limited to justify paying more over the excellent non-Pro version, with features draining battery faster.

  • RTINGS

    Positive

    Called it a very strong wireless gaming option with a very capable boom mic and Synapse EQ, while noting the ANC trails the best and fit changes bass delivery.
