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…

Pros
  • Razer Inc.
Cons
  • The audio lacks depth and detail

TL; DR: Low latency 2.4ghz and bluetooth jack of all trades, but sound quality and comfort are mediocre at best out of the box. Swap the pads for Brainwavz Ovals, and apply an EQ to make it usable.Full I'll start by saying that I am an audiophile, and I do not intend to use these to replace my wired headphones, I just need a versatile wireless solution for work.If you are shopping for a headset to use with Windows, you should already know that Windows' bluetooth implementation is hot garbage…

Pros
  • 40-hour Battery Life with USB-C Charging: Designed with enough juice to power you through more than a full day of gaming and work
Cons
  • The battery life is unreliable in real-world usage

Microphone works wirelessly with the Nintendo Switch

So far, I love it. It's a little loose, but I have a medium size head. I can wear it all day at work, then use it for gaming and it doesn't hurt. Love the battery capacity, and sound quality. The 7.1 surround only works with a computer, but it's still pretty directional on console.The best things that the description doesn't say, and the one thing that I couldn't find on the internet was: you can use the microphone on the switch! At first I had it plugged with the aux cable that it came with…

Pros
  • Razer SmartSwitch Dual Wireless: The headset can instantly switch between high-speed 2.4GHz or Bluetooth mode for seamless audio as you hop between using your PC/console and phone respectively
Cons
  • The cost is too high for its average sound quality

These Are Very Good For the Price

I have been using these for about a month now and they have been great so far. The sound quality is great, very neutral sounding and the sound profile is pretty good. If it's not to your taste, you can adjust it pretty easily in the app (I increased the bass just a bit and they are perfect now). They are pretty light and the clamping force is not uncomfortable. The range on the wireless connection is just amazing, they are connected to my pc on the second floor and I can go downstairs and go to

Pros
  • Razer Audio App: Tune the headset for the best fit with adjustable microphone noise-cancelling levels, audio EQ, auto-shutdown settings, and more customizable options
Cons
  • The Bluetooth pairing process is too complicated

Easily the best over ear headphones for the PS5

Integration on PC and PS are both very impressively solid.ANC isn't as good as Bose/Sony, but I mean nothing ever will be really.Personaly I don't have any need to switch from ANC/Ambient/Off so I'd prefer a way to remap that button to do something else, but I'm not sure what exactly.I've found on some of this style of headset, it's easy to accidentally hit the various buttons on the back of the ear when you lean your head back. This headset is better in this regard quality wise, but it still…

Pros
  • Integrated Beamforming Noise-Canceling Mic: The dual hidden microphones feature powerful levels of noise suppression ensuring you’re clearly heard in loud indoor and outdoor areas.
Cons
  • The wireless range is not very impressive

Good option - but could use a little more

It took me almost three hours searching through all options of headphones for gaming. Turns out these are also a good set of media headphones since the microphone can be disconnected. The mic is clear and good, even though I connect and disconnect it often, and if you don’t want to be heard, it also has a mute button to switch between game chat to silent playing. The soft pads make long consumption sessions enjoyable unlike leather cushions where the ears get hot and the pressure makes wearing…

Pros
  • The 50mm drivers on these headphones deliver an immersive audio experience that will enhance your gaming experience. The sound quality is crisp, clear, and detailed, so you can pick up on every detail in the game, giving you an edge over your opponents
Cons
  • The headset is a bit heavier than it needs to be
