"Despite including Bluetooth and ANC, I don't think of this at the type of do-everything headset you might replace noise-canceling headphones with, and not just because the person next to you will wonder if you're secretly talking to the pilots. These are so bulky and obviously for gaming that you probably don't want to wear them outside the house. You'd certainly get some weird looks walking the dog or working from your local coffee shop."
"That weight doesn't make them uncomfortable, at least for a few hours at a time, largely thanks to the ear cups, which have a pleasant mesh exterior and squishy interior padding. Razer says there's a layer of pleather underneath to help the noise canceling, but I couldn't tell it was there, which is a good thing, because I hate how hot pleather can get."
The BlackShark V3 Pro pairs Bluetooth and active noise cancellation but remains a distinctly gaming-oriented, bulky headset that draws attention in public. The Pro model with ANC weighs 367 grams, while the non-Pro model without ANC is about 270 grams. Ear cups use a pleasant mesh exterior and squishy padding that maintain comfort for several hours despite the extra mass. Razer includes a pleather layer for noise canceling that is not perceptible and avoids excess heat. Battery life measures roughly 50 hours with ANC on and about 60 hours with it off, enabling roughly weekly charging for typical use.
