We Tested the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro – Could This Be the Best Wireless Headset for Gamers and Esports Players?

The Razer BlackShark V3 Pro isn’t a budget headset — and it’s not made for everyone. But with a huge range of features and cutting-edge technology, this might just be one of the most impressive products of the year for serious gamers.

When buying a headset for PC or console, sound quality comes first. For wireless models, battery life comes second, and for communication, microphone quality is the third priority. After that, it’s about looks, weight, and extra features — which we’ll get into.

Design and Build Quality

This headset features a sturdy headband that fits well on the head. As a version 3 model, Razer has refined the design — especially the connection between the earcups and the headband, which received criticism in earlier versions. The new moving parts create a great fit.

The soft ear cushions are made from memory foam, providing a comfortable seal without applying pressure. The microphone is detachable, and the textured buttons on the earcups offer a firm grip, making them easy to identify and use.

Audio Quality

The audio is clear and detailed. Thanks to large 50 mm drivers, there’s a solid bass response and plenty of rumble in the lower frequencies. One minor downside: the bass can feel slightly sluggish, lacking that sharp punch you might expect. Still, this headset delivers top-tier sound quality overall.

ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) works very well, offering four levels, an ambient mode, and a full-off setting for flexibility.

Microphone Performance

Razer’s 12 mm microphone had received criticism, but during our testing, a firmware update was released. After updating, the microphone’s performance improved dramatically — gone were the harsh mids, peak distortion, and annoying artifacts. It now sounds nearly as good as our dedicated desktop mic — if not better. Excellent work by Razer.

Connectivity and Features

One of the standout features: you can connect both your PC and your phone at the same time. This makes taking calls or managing notifications much easier. We noticed no lag, disconnection, or interference — which is a welcome change compared to other wireless headsets. The wireless range is also impressive.

Final Verdict

If you’re looking for the best wireless headset on the market right now, the BlackShark V3 Pro is an excellent choice. Packed with features and offering great value for its price, it’s easy to see why so many esports players swear by it. Well done, Razer — this one earns a spot at the top of our best headsets of the year.
