Razer has announced the launch of its new esports-focused BlackShark V3 Pro series, with three distinct models each designed for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. Aside from the Pro models, the company also introduced Blackshark V3 and Blackshark V3 X HyperSpeed, each available in three variants as well.
Razer Blackshark V3 Pro
The flagship model BlackShark V3 Pro feature Razer’s Gen-2 HyperSpeed Wireless technology that cuts audio latency to as low as 10 milliseconds, which is a 33% improvement from 15ms latency found in “top competing headsets”. Another major upgrade is the hybrid ANC support via a four-microphone system, on top of the memory foam cushion to keep noises to a minimum.
The headset features Razer’s new 50mm “TriForce Bio-Cellulose” drivers with “ultra-thin bio-cellulose diaphragms” that enables “sharper frequency separation” – essentially, more accurate audio. It also features a detachable 12mm HyperClear Full Band microphone with unidirectional pickup pattern. PC versions of the Blackshark V3 Pro will get one exclusive feature: 7.1.4-channel surround sound support via THX Spatial Audio.
Of course, that doesn’t mean console gamers missed out on surround sound goodies. PlayStation models are compatible with Sony’s Tempest 3D Audio technology, while Xbox models support Windows Sonic (no Dolby Atmos, however). All headsets include four connectivity options: 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, USB-A, and 3.5 mm. They also offer 12 pre-tuned EQ profiles with storage for up to nine custom presets onboard the headset.
Alongside the BlackShark V3 Pro, Razer also launched the BlackShark V3 and BlackShark V3 X HyperSpeed. The former features TriForce Titanium 50mm drivers, HyperClear Superwide Band microphone, and THX Spatial Audio; the latter offers 7.1 surround sound, TriForce 50mm drivers, and a cardioid microphone. All models are available in variants for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
Pricing is identical regardless of which platform-specific model you’re looking for, and that means the BlackShark V3 Pro is priced at RM1,229, the BlackShark V3 at RM739, and the BlackShark V3 X HyperSpeed at RM509 – all models are now immediately available on RazerStores and official website, while local retailers will have to wait; however, PlayStation-specific models will be “available soon,” the company noted.
Pokdepinion: Hybrid ANC is a big upgrade.
