Review on Razer Ifrit Gaming and Streaming Headset - Low Profile Design with Professional Grade Condenser Mic and USB Audio Enhancer - Duo-Streaming Capability - Ideal for Gamers, Streamers, and Broadcasters by Josh Allred

I've been looking for this headset for a long time and decided to buy it as soon as the price dropped. My decision was absolutely right - this is a very good headset for the job! I have several headsets with a mic ranging from regular to gaming - Sennheiser SC60, ADV Nismo Jr, JBL Quantum 400, etc. Each has its pros and cons. The Sennheiser SC60 has been my favorite headset for years - not fancy, but very functional. No complaints. Then I recently switched to the ADV Nismo Jr due to the small/lightweight form factor. Switch headsets as needed (SC60 when presenting, Nisom when listening as a participant). The JBL Quantum is by far the best I've owned, but not for hours of daily video/telephone conferencing. Nismo lacks control and feedback. Then comes the Razer Ifrit. Initially, I was looking for a USB sound card for better audio control (mute, volume control, etc.). First I found the Razer USB Audio Enhancer DAC. Then I realized that I could get this DAC if I bought an Ifrit headset. Pros: The microphone is crisp and clear. I'm not an audio engineer but for me the sound is very clear with less noise. The quality of the condenser microphone could be better than that of the noise canceling SC60. The sound quality and sound isolation is very good. Unfortunately, this headset isn't for the audiophile, but it's great for work (although I'm not sure about gaming, sorry). I can clearly hear what others are saying when my cat meows in front of me or the vacuum cleaner runs behind me. on-site inspection. Not fancy like a touchscreen but a regular button to mute the mic and control the volume with a rotary switch. It's not your dream remote, but its functionality is excellent. Added bonus: I can connect another 3.5mm TRRS headset to the controller, but there's no independent control - expecting too much now. The cable length is completely sufficient. Most people might disagree with me on the wired headphone fantasy. Yes, wireless is great, but for me, a good old wired device is best in terms of practicality. Razer is generous with the cable. This is enough for you to walk around the room during a conference call. Form factor can be subjective. I liked this design - behind the neck and over the ear. If you have a long call (more than 2 hours), you will really appreciate its light weight and behind-the-neck design. If you wear glasses, I would recommend turning them upside down and resting them on your collarbone instead (the mic is to your right). This way you don't have to worry about double straining your ears (looks weird so not recommended for video calls). Cons: This headset has a headphone format. Wearing headphones for long hours isn't as good for your hearing. I have to remind myself to take pictures when I'm not on the phone. Sometimes you feel something in your ears and need to adjust the strap as there is no strap to adjust the size (one size fits all). If you're unlucky, it will give you an instant headache. So far I've been lucky enough to wear it all day for 7-8 hours. Conclusion: This is a great headset with a USB/3.5mm condenser mic for remote learning/working (probably good for gaming too). Highly recommended! Thank you for reading this long review, friends. Stay healthy and positive!
