Razer - BlackShark V3 Pro

I use a razer blackshark v3, it doesn’t completely block out all outside noise but greatly reduces it

I cant believe what im about to say, but i actually dont dislike the sound of the Razer Blackshark V3 Pro. You need to like a tad brighter sound signature tho, kinda like Hifiman if you ever heard a pair from them. Kinda comfy, except you got some Dumbo ears, light, Mic also sounds good for a wireless, battery lasts long and the ANC/Ambient mode is nice to have. The software CAN sometimes spazz out a little and take a while to change stuff. The Audeze Maxwell has even nicer sound quality, but the tuning is different and they are more on the heavy side.

It basically just means a touch more treble for that open, airy feeling. :) But if you also listen to music fairly often there arent much candidates in the gaming headset department that arent plagued with bloated bass for example. Razer Blackshark starting with the V3 lineup is starting to have a nice tuning if you enable ANC which for some ungodly reason makes the bass response awesome. The Audeze Maxwell, planar goodness, yum! But on the heavier side like i mentioned. The Fractal Scape, never heard it myself but many reviewers said it has a nice tuning for a gaming headset. For wired you could also look torwards the TAGO STUDIO T3-03 Gaming Edition, its basically their studio headphones where they attached a wired mic.

Hello! You get diminishing returns very quickly, so it depends what you value. At the $200 range, Nova 7 Gen 2 and Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 are the best picks for FPS. The Blackshark V3 Pro (newest version) has some improvements at the $250 range like ANC and simultaneous BT which is nice. It can also save multiple on board EQ profiles. For $300 and FPS, I still think the Astro A50 Gen 5 is an amazing option, and still my go to. The stock pads are a little small, but I made my own called the StealthZ pad, sold by WickedCushions. The A50 Gen 5 takes full parametric EQ and has a class-leading mic and bass response. It handles EQ really well. The Nova Pro Wirless is still a great option to this day, but the mic performance is just okay, and as you said, EQ is more limited but still very capable. Overall I think you'd be performing at a very similar level with any of these. It comes down to preference on design and features. Nova Pro has leatherette pads and ANC with more isolation, whereas the A50 is very open sounding (does not block external noise).

Im a PC gamer with 22mm plugs. I swear by Razer Blackshark V3 Pro. They are by far the most comfortable headphones that I have ever owned. Edit for more info: They come wired or wireless.

I have the Razer Blackshark V3 Pro and they’re super good both on PC and PS5

This is going to go against the grain a bit, but I'd suggest... the latest Razer Blackshark V3 Pro. MSRP is $350 USD, in the US, but you may be able to find discounts. If not, look into V2 Pro, the previous gen. They're supposedly very comfortable and actually sound decent. No ANC (these are gaming headphones, after all) but Mic's supposed to be quite good (it's for eSports, of course)

BlackShark v3 Pro and I don’t regret it for a second.

The Razer BlackShark V3 Pro features 7.1 surround sound and THX Spatial Audio for an immersive gaming experience and it’s comfortable

Got mine 1.5 month ago and I’m so happy for it

Using razor blackshark pro... they're pretty good.

I loved my blacksharks before I upgraded to maxwells
