Get ready to experience competitive gaming like never before! Razer, a global leader in gaming lifestyle products, has just dropped its latest weapon for esports dominance: the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro headset. Designed from the ground up with pro gamers in mind, this new lineup promises precision, crystal-clear communication, and lightning-fast performance across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

The BlackShark series has long been a favourite among top esports athletes, and the V3 Pro builds on that legacy with groundbreaking features. 

“We’ve refined everything that matters most — sound quality, comfort, and noise isolation — based on direct feedback from esports professionals,” says Jeffrey Chau, Global Esports Director at Razer.

Here’s what makes the BlackShark V3 Pro a game changer: It features Razer’s brand-new HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2 technology, which boasts an incredible 10-millisecond latency. That’s a 33% reduction compared to other top headsets, giving you a crucial edge in fast-paced games where every millisecond counts. Communication is critical, and the detachable HyperClear Full Band Mic delivers studio-grade voice clarity. With a professional-level sampling rate and a unidirectional pickup, your teammates will hear you loud and clear, even when the action gets intense. For the first time in the BlackShark series, the V3 Pro includes Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). This advanced 4-microphone system intelligently blocks out background noise, helping you stay laser-focused on your game. 

Next-gen Razer TriForce Bio-Cellulose Drivers provide incredibly clean and natural sound. You’ll hear subtle in-game cues with sharper frequency separation, and an increase in magnet field strength means you’ll pinpoint enemy movements with uncanny accuracy. PC gamers will experience revolutionary sound with THX® Spatial Audio featuring 7.1.4 Surround Sound. This expands the soundstage to include four virtual overhead speakers, letting you not only hear enemies around you but also above you.

PRO-TESTED, PLAYER-APPROVED

Razer didn’t just design the BlackShark V3 Pro in a lab. They put it through its paces with some of the biggest names in esports. Counter-Strike icon Nikola “NiKo” Kovač and Call of Duty pro Shotzzy both provided direct input, helping to fine-tune the headset for peak competitive performance.

“Sound plays a huge role in how I make decisions in-game,” says NiKo. “With the BlackShark V3 Pro, it became easier to pick the more subtle audio details around reloads, footsteps and position shifts, that were harder to catch before.” Shotzzy adds, “The audio clarity and mic quality are next level—it’s everything I need to stay locked in and make the right calls.”

TAILORED FOR EVERY PLATFORM

Whether you game on PC, PlayStation, or Xbox, there’s a BlackShark V3 Pro for you. Each model is optimised to deliver competitive-grade audio specific to its platform, including THX Spatial Audio for PC, Tempest 3D Audio compatibility for PlayStation, and Windows Sonic support for Xbox.

The headset offers versatile connectivity options, including 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, USB-A, and 3.5 mm connections. Additionally, you can connect to two devices simultaneously, making it perfect for staying in voice chat while gaming. You’ll also find 12 pro-tuned EQ profiles and the ability to store up to 9 custom profiles directly on the headset for plug-and-play convenience.

Alongside the flagship BlackShark V3 Pro, Razer is also introducing two other models to cater to different needs and budgets: the Razer BlackShark V3, which features TriForce Titanium 50mm Drivers Gen-2, THX Spatial Audio, and a HyperClear Superwide Band Mic; and the Razer BlackShark V3 X HyperSpeed, an entry-level wireless option with TriForce 50mm Drivers Gen-2, 7.1 Surround Sound, and a HyperClear Cardioid Mic.

The new Razer BlackShark V3 Pro lineup costs AU$449.95 with both the PC and Xbox lines are now available at Razer.com, Razer Stores, and select retailers worldwide, with the PlayStation line coming soon. The Razer BlackShark V3 – Black Edition & White Edition retails for AU$269.95, and finally, the Razer BlackShark V3 X HyperSpeed – Black Edition sells for AU$179.95
