Our Verdict

Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless 2020

Razer Kraken V3

The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless 2020 are more versatile gaming headphones than the Razer Kraken V3. You can use the BlackShark V2 Pro wired or wirelessly, depending on your preferences. They're more comfortable and have a more out-of-head passive soundstage. However, if you prefer wired-only headphones, the Kraken V3 are better built and have customizable RGB lighting. Their boom mic also offers better overall performance.
