Razer - BlackShark V3 Pro

Could you comment about the sidetone loudness? The V2 Pro from 2023 has sidetone, but it's really not that loud in the mix, and it results in talking much more loudly than required. This is my only issue with the headset. The V3 Pro having ANC makes me think that the ambient feature and sidetone are likely better. UPDATE: I bought a set at Best Buy to try it out. It's worse than the V2 Pro; like twice as bad. The sidetone seems to have more volume but holy shit the bass in the sidetone pretty much makes it non-existent. I don't see how Razer goes from bad to worse with this. Both of these headsets are nearly perfect headsets if the sidetone was clear and boosted a bit more. Back to the store it goes.

Yeah. I'm liking it in Tarkov.

If it were me I’d go to eBay and get a set of the wired nova pros or the wireless pros , with a warranty and then buy a set of wicked cushion ear pads and headband . Second option would be a set of razor black shark 2 wired headphones, for 100$ or buy the newer wireless model I believe the v 3 is 160$ and the v4 is 200$ . That my op I’ve had the nova pros for awhile now as a remote guy and they are my go to with the cushions , I still need to upgrade the headband though only thing I haven’t done. Edit : I bought my nova pro used on eBay with the warranty and warranties them when they had an issue . Got a second set and they have been solid

I bought is yesterday, and boi audio quality is like an ass if you activate THX Spatial Audio

> AS LONG as you put ANC strength on 3 and not 4 in Razer Synapse. 4 is broken and you will hear a high pinging sound Can confirm. ANC level 4 does not work as it should. But the support does not seem to understand that.

Razer BlackShark V3 good there (also had update for microphone and sound great). You got a good pair so you enjoy it, just get some wicked cushions if you do t have it already, it really gives that extra comfort. Fractal is an odd one out as it is one I would use over Audeze most of the time and same I could say with nova pro. The price is just insane, so my top 3 ones are in gaming category fractal, Razer V3 pro and the SS elite but with extra cushions, Audeze as a 4th and the Astro 5th. I would stick with top 3 ones here personally and your elite looks nice too, looks better go out listen too music as example. Audeze overrated I think but like I say we are individuals, ain’t a number 1 or 2 for me.

Better range, worse audio quality.

I cant believe what im about to say, but i actually dont dislike the sound of the Razer Blackshark V3 Pro. You need to like a tad brighter sound signature tho, kinda like Hifiman if you ever heard a pair from them. Kinda comfy, except you got some Dumbo ears, light, Mic also sounds good for a wireless, battery lasts long and the ANC/Ambient mode is nice to have. The software CAN sometimes spazz out a little and take a while to change stuff. The Audeze Maxwell has even nicer sound quality, but the tuning is different and they are more on the heavy side.

These put the pulse elites to shame I have a very large head and wear glasses and just finished a 3 hour session and I finally for the first time don’t have a headache!

Im a PC gamer with 22mm plugs. I swear by Razer Blackshark V3 Pro. They are by far the most comfortable headphones that I have ever owned. Edit for more info: They come wired or wireless.
