Razer BlackShark V3 Pro (for Xbox) - 2XKO Edition

The BlackShark V3 Pro is packed with features, but suffers from some audio distortion and a lackluster microphone. It's a solid gaming headset, but it's not the endgame headset you're looking for.

The Razer BlackShark V3 Pro are great for wireless gaming. They offer low-latency performance via their 2.4GHz dongle, while their V-shaped sound profile suits most game audio, and you can always customize their sound to taste in the excellent Synapse companion app. This headset has a very good boom mic that reproduces your voice naturally while also doing an impressive job separating it from any noise around you. Coupled with the decent ANC performance, it means you'll be able to focus on your gaming even in slightly busy areas like shared living rooms. The on-ear controls are easy to use, even while you're in the thick of frenetic multiplayer gaming sessions, and their almost 70-hour battery life will get you through a full weekend of gaming without a recharge.

This pro-level gaming headset is also great for casual gamers, if you’re willing to spend $250.

The Razer BlackShark V3 Pro is a good wireless gaming headset with a lightweight and comfortable fit, as well as excellent directionality and soundstage in its audio. It's immersive and crisp while also impressing with strong connectivity and software action. Battery life isn't an improvement, while its ANC is a tad weak-kneed.

The latest BlackShark brings a competitive edge but isn't exactly E for everyone, or everything.
