Razer’s ANC-equipped gaming headset for PS5 and Xbox is almost $100 off

Razer’s BlackShark V3 Pro is available at Woot for $164.99, reduced from a list price of $249.99, a markdown of $85. The deal is highlighted in a Verge Shopping write-up by Brad Bourque and targets gamers seeking higher-end features at a lower price point.

There are separate models marketed for Xbox and PlayStation, but the Xbox-branded unit is the more versatile pick: it is reported to work with PlayStation, PC, Nintendo Switch and mobile devices in addition to Xbox. Compared with Razer’s older BlackShark V2 Pro, the V3 Pro brings active noise cancellation and the ability to pass audio simultaneously over its 2.4GHz link and Bluetooth — features uncommon at this price.

The headset’s primary connection method is a low-latency 2.4GHz USB transmitter for consoles and PCs. It also includes Bluetooth 5.3 and a removable boom microphone, which lets the somewhat bulky headset double as portable headphones when you want to use them away from the console. Razer’s ANC is said to reduce outside noise, helping in noisy environments such as commutes.

A special edition BlackShark V3 Pro tied to Riot’s fighting game 2XKO is available for $149.99, a further $15 discount on that variant. Note that this Woot offer carries a 90-day warranty through the seller as listed in the deal information.
