It’s rare to find high-end features like active noise cancellation in a gaming headset under $200, so we’re thrilled that the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro on sale at Woot for $164.99. There are specific models marketed to Xbox and PlayStation, but the Xbox version is the best choice because it also supports PlayStation, PC, Nintendo Switch and mobile. At just $35 more than current sale price for the BlackShark V2 Pro, the newer headset adds ANC and simultaneous audio between the 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connections, although you only get a 90-day Woot warranty with this deal.

The BlackShark V3 Pro’s main connection mode is with its low latency 2.4GHz transmitter, which plugs into your console or PC via USB. While the headset is somewhat bulky, it can double as headphones you can take on the go thanks to its removable boom mic and Bluetooth 5.3 support. Plus, its noise cancellation can drown out sounds from your commute. Fans of Riot’s soon-to-be-retired fighting game, 2XKO, can save an extra $15 for a special edition version of the BlackShark V3 Pro that’s $149.99.
