While not much has changed from an aesthetic standpoint, the BlackShark V3 has plenty to offer in technical advancements. The Pro version will now feature: Razer TriForce Bio-Cellulose 50 mm Drivers Gen-2, Hyperspeed Wireless Gen-2 technology, HyperClear Full band 12 mm mic, and THX Spatial Audio 7.1.4 surround sound (in the PC model).
That’s right, I said 7.1.4 surround sound. The 4 in the 7.1.4. refers to height spatial awareness – with Razer adding 4 virtual speakers above your head to help expand your soundstage, vertically. I haven’t had the pleasure of testing the THX 7.1.4 surround sound just yet, but it’s arguable the feature I’m most looking forward to experiencing.
