Although Bluetooth and ANC are included, I will not consider this in terms of the type of supply headphones Noise headphones With you, not only because the people next to you will wonder if you are talking to the pilot in secret. These are so bulky that obviously for the game you might not want to wear them outside the house. Of course, you will definitely let your dog walk the dog or work from a local coffee shop.

To fit all of these features, the BlackShark 3 is obviously heavier than some of the other headphones I’ve tested recently. The Pro version of ANC is 367 grams, which is 100 grams more than the Arctis Nova 3 and weighs 260 grams. If you choose a non-Pro model without ANC, it’s closer to Steelseries at just 270g, which is very appealing if you’re mostly at home alone rather than in front of a host of admiring fans.
This weight doesn’t make them uncomfortable, at least once and for hours, thanks in large part to earmuffs, which have a pleasant mesh look and furry interior filling. Razer said there is a layer of plate below to help remove noise, but I can’t say it’s there, which is a good thing because I hate the heat of chili.
Still, I miss the ski bands found on most Steelseries headphones that distribute weight more evenly on the top of the headband. Especially with long meetings and larger skulls, it can help a lot comfortably. Even with the same heavy Arctis Nova Pro, my previous upgraded pick had a soft overhead feel.
The extra weight also means a larger battery. I measured nearly 50 hours, while active noise was cancelled and the feature turned off in about 60 hours. Actually, I only need to plug in the BlackShark V3 Pro once a week or so to fill them up. They were low in the middle once Wow On Raid Night, I was able to charge them for our 8 minute break from about 4% to 11% of the break, which was enough for the rest of the night. If I plug them into my computer to charge, they get a little confused, but the external charger works fine while playing.
The best microphone

I spin a lot of gaming headsets and most of the time I have to ask for feedback on the quality of the microphone. Some are better than others, but most are just gaming headset microphones with a recognizable, slightly tiny vibe. The moment I sit down every week Dungeons and Dragons Game, my party members noticed how clear I sounded.
