Excellent Razer BlackShark V3 headphones have never been cheaper! They have a great microphone and 70-hour battery life

With the BlackShark V3 headphones, Razer targets competitive players who need fast response, precise positional audio, and a microphone that the whole team understands. The white variant is now on Alza for 2,939 CZK — compared to the original 4,899 CZK, you save almost two thousand. For that price, you get a wireless headset with 10ms latency, 70-hour battery life, and a microphone that, according to users, rivals external desktop microphones costing fifteen hundred.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you play competitively and need detailed sound with minimal latency, a quality microphone for team communication, and long battery life.
⚠️ Consider that THX spatial audio in some FPS games confuses more than it helps — and the out-of-the-box sound requires fine-tuning via Razer Synapse.
💡 For 2,939 CZK you get 2nd generation 50mm titanium drivers, HyperSpeed 2.4 GHz with 10ms latency, Bluetooth 5.3, a detachable wideband microphone, and 70 hours of battery life.

What users praise

The Razer HyperClear Super Wideband microphone with a frequency range of 20 Hz – 20 kHz is the headset’s strongest feature. Users on Alza compare it to external microphones costing 1,500 CZK — the voice sounds clear, rich, and natural, and real-time algorithms suppress mouse clicks and fan noise. The 2nd generation TriForce Titanium 50 mm drivers offer detailed and balanced sound — bass, mids, and highs are well-separated. A 70-hour battery life on 2.4 GHz connection means charging once every few weeks. A weight of just 270 grams and fabric memory foam earcups ensure comfort even during multi-hour sessions.

The dual volume control system is ingenious — one dial for game sound, the other for voice chat (Discord). Three connection methods: 2.4 GHz dongle, Bluetooth 5.3, and cable.

What to consider

Opinions on spatial audio vary significantly. One user on Alza writes that in CS:GO, they hear details they previously missed. Another claims that THX spatial audio is confusing in FPS games and, according to them, they couldn’t determine the direction of footsteps — and returned the headphones because of it. The Reddit community also reports similar experiences. The out-of-the-box sound might not impress either — it’s necessary to play with the equalizer in Razer Synapse, but after fine-tuning, the quality significantly improves. Some users recommend activating Dolby Atmos instead of THX (license purchased separately).

The headphones do not automatically turn off after being removed from the head — a timer needs to be set. And if you don’t have experience with the Razer Synapse application, expect the initial setup to take a while.
