I’m a big fan of the BlackShark V3 Pro. I actually moved to it because of the ANC and the simultaneous audio, and for me, it’s been a game-changer.

What I personally like most is being able to stay on the 2.4GHz dongle for the game while having my phone connected via Bluetooth at the same time. It’s super handy for taking calls or checking something on my phone without having to stop the game audio or take the headset off. The ANC also does a great job of keeping me focused when there's background noise. (The ANC is not crazy strong but cancel out everything that I could get distracted by)

It is definitely on the more expensive side, but if you value being able to multitask like that, I’ve found it to be a really solid upgrade! 😁

I’d go for a some newer Blackshark line.

Really solid headset, simple&solid design, no rgb’s or haptics.
