Razer BlackShark V3 Pro
One of the most complete wireless gaming headsets available, held back mainly by its weight and fit.

Our verdict
Razer's esports flagship adds hybrid active noise cancellation to the BlackShark line and pairs a low-latency 2.4GHz link with simultaneous Bluetooth. Reviewers credit it with strong positional audio for competitive play and battery life of around 70 hours. At 367g it is heavier than its predecessor, and reviews flag its weight and clamping force, while SoundGuys found its yoke design causes fit issues. SoundGuys' lab measurements also found treble distortion, so it is a better fit for games than for critical music listening.
