Razer BlackShark V3 Pro review

The BlackShark V3 Pro is Razer's answer for players who care about hearing footsteps first and everything else second. Razer pairs Gen-2 TriForce bio-cellulose 50 mm drivers with THX Spatial Audio, which can run 7.1.4 surround on Windows 11. Its HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2 link is rated by Razer to deliver audio in as little as 10 ms, and it can run alongside Bluetooth so a phone call or Discord on mobile stays connected. The detachable HyperClear Full Band mic uses a large 12 mm capsule with a unidirectional pattern and a 20 Hz to 20 kHz response, wider than most gaming boom mics here. Hybrid ANC has four levels set in Razer Synapse or the Razer Audio app. Battery runs up to 70 hours on PC, 48 hours on consoles. At 367 g it is not light, and the spatial audio feature is PC-only. Razer listed it at US$209.99 on sale when we checked.
