Razer Blackshark V3 Pro bad sound

I’ve got the V3 Pro here right now, and honestly, I’m far from impressed. The sound is very tinny, quiet, and lacks any real punch.

I tested it in Escape From Tarkov and Dying Light 2 — and in both games, my €25 Sennheiser USB PC8 delivers a much better overall sound quality.

Firmware updates for both the dongle and the headset are installed. I’ve tried toggling THX on and off and played around with the audio settings a bit, but in both games, the sound still feels really poor — especially compared to that cheap headset.

I also tried uninstalling the Razer software and running it without, but that didn’t help either.

Anyone got any ideas?

    Just bought this headset to replace my $99 HyperX Cloud Alpha because I wanted wireless for Xbox and pc. For Xbox or Bluetooth when you first turn on it’s like you’re in a tin can. You have to cycle through your equalizers EVERY time you turn the headset on to get full sound for some reason. Super aggravating bug on a $250 headset is unacceptable. Also the left ear up is substantially louder than the right one. Do yourself a favor, and return it like I’m going to as well.
