Great Headphones for my opinion

Razer is renowned for being among some of the great gaming tech companies, and it shows in these headphones.Quality:First up, quality. The headphones have a sleek design. They’re not the most compact headphones you could get, but they are still slim enough to store or travel with.They have a comfortable fit, and enclose my ear within the soft foam muff and padded headband.The materials overall seem really sturdy, as in they should hold up for a great deal of time — you definitely get what you pay for, in a good way.Noise Cancellation:The headphones have pretty good noise cancellation in my opinion. With the volume up to 30-50%, it’s nearly impossible for me to hear a level speaking tone beyond them. When they’re off/ sound is muted, I can hear beyond them a bit; albeit the outside world is still fairly muffled. May not be the top of the line in noise cancellation, but they still do a mighty fine job.Sound Quality:As aforementioned I keep my audio about 30-50% of the way depending on the game/ who I am playing with. These headphones have excellent sound performance that, to an everyday user and a connoisseur by no means, would argue are a close second on sound quality to any expensive headset (noise cancellation aside).Microphone (mic):The mic itself is (as far as I’m aware) a good mic. It doesn’t pick up the hum of background noise, or sound fuzzy — thanks to the padding around the mic itself. Though, because it doesn’t pick up background noise it does need to be within about an inch or two of your mouth if you’re more soft spoken like myself (maybe not so much if you’re raging on it).One minor concern I do have would be the foam the microphone cover is made of. It’s a very basic foam, so over a significant deal of time I do imagine it would take some wear and tear.One thing I do like though is that the mic is detachable. It fits into the headset pretty snug (though it took a moment to learn how to make sure I had it in all the way properly), so taking it out and replacing it shouldn’t be a huge concern in terms of it fitting back in place in accordance to wear and tear. That said, you could easily use the headset to listen to music or watch tv in your day to day as well. Alternatively of course you could still leave the mic in and bend it out of the way.Battery Life:In terms of battery life, the headset holds a pretty decent charge. I believe I’ve gone like 3-4 days of using it for about 4-5 hours on average and still not needed a charge. I haven’t tested it’s limits, but it seem to have a pretty decent battery life for those who like to have extended gaming sessions/ usage.That said, these headphones are wireless so if wireless & having to recharge headphones is not for you I wouldn’t recommend them.Overall/ TLDR:The headphones are great quality, and rival more expensive headsets at a great price for the everyday user. They were certainly worth the buy :)
