Good hardware ruined by bad software

Build quality seems good, sound quality is ok. Comes with some extras in the bag, like a splitter cable and a felt pouch to carry the headset. The ear pads are a bit small. However, in order to use the 7.1 surround sound feature, you need to download a separate app from Razer Synapse and sign up. While Razer products aren't entirely new, Synapse 3 at least lets you choose to continue as a guest, but this 7.1 software requires you to create an account and log in. not a fan

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Not sure

Best in eSports Accessories Category

I'm a former semi-pro Overwatch gamer and these headphones are almost better than the sound isolating studio headphones we've used in tournaments. 4 stars for sound quality as ANC isn't that great, but I can still focus on the game and turn off everything else. The surround sound on them is amazing, allowing you to play clear and accurate sounds even on a chaotic battlefield. Everything from music to movies to games is crisp and clear, and the cable is the perfect length. It is light, fitsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Good fit

Overall great noise canceling headset

So let's start by saying I use this headset for gaming, listening to music and editing videos. doesn't give me a headache after long use - insane noise cancellation (I can literally eat chips and no one can hear me chew) - easy quick mute button (I always grab a headset with a mute button because I hate going back to Discord to quickly mute something to switch when I can just push a button - a comfortable squelch ear (don't know what to call it, sorry) that's high quality and not covered inโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • No performance

(Really) great entry-level wired headset

Considering how much it costs, I had relatively low expectations for this headset. I had a Corsair Virtuoso SE wireless headset with a great microphone and very good sound, but the connection to my PS4 was never very reliable and I noticed audio dropouts quite frequently. PS4 friends have sworn they use the 3.5mm jack on the controller so I decided to use that for testing. Build quality The first thing you notice when you pick up the headset is how light it is. It feels a bit solid, but it'sโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Hard to say

I wanted good wireless headphones and I got them

TLDR: So far so good! I only used them for a few hours but set up was easy and I still love the product. I've been a little disappointed over the past few years when I've spent a lot of money on wireless headphones. I won't name any brand names, but even well-analyzed devices have had no luck for me. I spent a lot of time reading reviews and figuring out how much to spend and what would be both easy to use and sound really good. I think my search was worth it because that's exactly what I gotโ€ฆ

  • Price
