Our Favorite Upgraded Gaming Headset Is $20 Off
Are you looking for a new gaming headset that meets your professional aspirations? You can get the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro on Amazon for $230, which is $20 off the usual price of $250. This upgraded gaming headset is ideal for serious FPS fans, aspiring esports competitors, and anyone trying to climb the ranks in their favorite game.
One area where the BlackShark V3 Pro particularly impressed me is sound isolation and active noise cancellation. While these features aren’t always notable on gaming headsets, these are designed for serious gaming, so eliminating any extra noise, whether it’s a cheering stadium or a barking dog, could give you an advantage at the end of your game. Counter-Strike 2 closes.
This approach allows the headset’s spatial audio to work even more effectively, which I found perfect for games where this level of specificity is useful. First-person shooters and battle royale games have all benefited from a sharper, more detailed response. If you’ve ever heard someone sneak in Arc Raiders but you can’t figure out if they were above or below you, this headset can help you figure it out.
The biggest downside of all these features is that the BlackShark V3 Pros are quite heavy, just over 350 grams for the model with ANC. They make up for this with a soft, cushy headband, and the earcups are a combination of mesh on the outside and leather on the inside, a nice balance of breathability and noise isolation. They’re not as comfortable as my favorite overall pick, the Steelseries Arctis Nova 3, but the sound quality and features here are much richer.
I spotted the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro at the discounted price in black and white for the PC version. If you plan to play only on Xbox, you can also get the Xbox Series X version for just $215.
