Razer previously released the BlackShark V3 Pro lineup of gaming headsets for PlayStation, PC, and Xbox platforms. The BlackShark V3 Pro is the first wireless gaming headset headset to feature Razer’s Gen-2 HyperSpeed Wireless technology, which offers ultra-responsive audio with latency as low as 10 milliseconds. The headset also supports Tempest 3D Audio on PS5 and Windows Sonic on Xbox Series X|S.
The BlackShark V3 Pro features advanced hybrid active noise cancellation, which is powered by a 4-microphone system that filters out ambient noise. This is in combination with memory foam ear cushions and a closed-back design. The Gen-2 TriForce 50 mm drivers with ultra-thin bio-cellulose diaphragms bring clean, natural sound with sharper frequency separation.
Moreover, the headset supports THX Spatial Audio 7.1.4 channels on PC. This technology creates a more precise and layered sound environment, which in turn brings precise positional audio and greater directionality in supported media. The BlackShark V3 Pro also supports four versatile connection modes: 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, USB-A, and 3.5 mm.
