There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I got my new set a couple days ago and finally hooked it up and installed all the drivers (very carefully) and o-m-g this set is everything I'd hoped for... The first was faulty but Razer sent me a new one via an RMA... Definitely worth the wait. Highly recommended! For a "budget" set this thing exceeds all expectations. I still stand by everything I said in my initial review... The comfort of these things is to die for. I don't want to take them off.
Also, they're great if you wear glasses! I'm not constantly taking my glasses off, or the set, to take a break from the constant pressure on my temple. Finally a headset that my blind a** can enjoy.
Sound quality plus comfort is way better than any set I've owned (and I've bought 3 more name brand sets since this one, while waiting for this set to make it to me). The Logitech set I own is incredibly uncomfortable and will be my backup now.
Soooo happy with this headset! If you have issues with yours, read my initial review and go call Razer support.
I'm adding the star back to make this review 5 stars just because this headset is THAT GOOD when working properly. Normally it'd remain 4 stars, but since I love it so much... I think the frustration and wait was totally worth it.
Also... This set does not have any lighting! So if you want that distracting glow on your headset, these are not for you.

Initial review:
I wrote out a really long, awesome review that I held off on until I messed with the drivers. An hour after taking the headset out of the package, it was broken. By broken I mean it didn't play sound on my PC anymore... At least, not really.
Before the drivers finished installing the sound was insanely good. The bass... omg... SO incredible. Not to mention the comfort of these things, man! But once the drivers installed, the sound was so quiet I could barely hear a thing. I turned the equalizers up all the way and could still barely hear a thing. I almost cried. I tried everything. I had the volume on my PC, the cable of the headset, and on the controller up at full volume. I reinstalled every driver associated with sound.
Finally, I contacted Razer support and they were absolutely amazing. We finally came to the conclusion that it was, in fact, the hardware that was at fault, and he set up for me to receive a brand new set once they received my old one. I bought a used set from Amazon, not from them. And they were well aware of this.
I didn't want to just return this set, because they are actually amazing:
1. The sound quality (before they stopped working) was incredible. I turned on Aesthetic Perfection, turned up the bass on the controller, and BOOM! I felt like I was playing a live industrial show again, standing between two amps. I mean, absolutely amazing! No idea how the drivers managed to cause them to stop working.
2. The comfort is something I didn't even know existed! I mean, no I'm not some hotshot gamer who buys every name brand gamer device but I have spent thousands of dollars on having a comfortable bed and environment... I'm a game modder (Skyrim, SSE, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dragons Dogma, TW3, FO4, etc) whose sole purpose is to give players an incredible, immersive, and realistic experience through hyper-realistic textures. Basically, quality and comfort are very important to me... So I may know a thing or two about the importance of good sound quality.
3. The mic. Okay, this one I was expecting to be bad because of the reviews... And I didn't care. I really don't ever plan to use the mic, since I'm a solo player now (don't have time or patience to deal with Beibers anymore, thanks for ruining MMO gaming btw!!! luvyewguyz). But anyways, the mic seemed to work fantastic. No issues that other people reported there, although I haven't done extensive testing, since I don't really keep friends. Definitely a lone wolf (by choice).
I am upset that Amazon sent me a faulty device, however. I guess I can't really blame them. This is my first time purchasing a used product/refurb from Amazon that didn't work though.
I am going to update this review once I receive the new one, even though I'm not getting it from here. The reviews on Amazon are for the product themselves and not the seller. The purpose of seller feedback is for you to rate the seller, and as far as I know... I did get the headset SUPER early (two days, actually. I have prime and get two-day shipping, but usually it takes four days for me to get anything I order... yet it took one day). So that's pretty awesome. I'm sure Amazon simply checks to see if a product turns on, and didn't think to plug up the controller and check whether it connects and works fine.
I'm glad I contacted Razer though and got them to take it, so no one else would receive a faulty product.
The headset has a 3.5mm audio jack with a little volume adjustment knob on the cord and a mic mute button. Nothing special in that regard. But there are more features to unlock if you plug the 3.5mm jack into the included USB dongle. Mainly: bass boost control, chat/game volume adjustment, another mic mute button with a light indicator, volume adjustment buttons that adjust the volume of the HEADPHONES ONLY, and not in the computer sound settings. You can still use the volume wheel and mic mute on the 3.5mm cable when plugged into this.
But the one feature that they want you to look at the most is the THX spatial surround sound. And let me make this loud and clear for you:
don't use it.
It's bad. It's really bad. So bad I've been tempted to just spend $10 on Dolby Atmos and just use that instead. Stereo just sounds so much nicer compared to the indescribable, pathetic attempt at surround sound that THX provides. Don't bother setting it up in Razer Synapse, it's a complete waste of time.
Comfort wise, they're awesome. I had the wireless Razer Man O War headphones before these, and I couldn't bear to wear them for more than probably 2 hours at a time without taking them off for a while. But compare those old headphones to these, with better padding and metal aluminum construction, it's a far superior product in my opinion, comfort wise. They're lighter, more comfortable and just all in all easier on the head and ears.
The microphone is okay. Don't expect this headset to come with a high quality microphone. If you want quality, get yourself a condenser mic or a dynamic mic and pre-amp. The mic included in this headset is tiny, and it's very very quiet. I have to bring it maybe an inch from my mouth to get a good sound out of it. Even then, the mic is still okay at best and you're going to get a lot of pops, and unnecessary distortion. It will do it's job, and it will do it okay at best.
All in all, these headphones do sound great. I love the way they feel and it's truly a step up from what I had before. Just don't expect the THX spatial surround sound to be any good. It's not, and it never will be.

No esperes unos audifonos audiophile para escuchar musica como en estudio, ya que tienen bastante bajo estos audifonos (para aumentar los sonidos de pisadas, tiros y explosiones), pero cumplen bien con su trabajo incluso para monitorizar cosas en FL Studio y Ableton sin que suenen mal en otro tipo de audifonos que si son para musica.
El paquete incluye los audifonos y una pequeña DAC que se conecta por USB a la PC, en la DAC vienen dos rueditas, una para el Bass Boost, y otra para equilibrar canales de chat y juego+musica, el software de Razer identifica automaticamente las apps que sean para chat como Discord, Teamspeak, Skype, etc. por lo que te recomiendo dejar ambos canales al 100% de volumen y ya manejar tus volumentes de audio con los botones de la DAC (+ volumen, - volumen y silenciar el microfono), o bien con la ruedita de los propios audifonos (mismos controles que la DAC).
Recomendados para jugar, no me han dado ni un solo problema.
1. Razer synapse 3 would not download properly and stopped halfway through. I had to open windows firewall and create a new pathway specifically for the synapse 3 download file and allow it to pass so that it would download, then removed it afterwards and the synapse program works fine.
2. The THX surround sound didn’t work for the past month I’ve had them, but the fix was really easy. For some reason the USB controller has a switch to raise game volume and lower chat, or vice versa. I had them set on chat sound in the windows playback options and the surround didn’t work. I then plugged them in with the 3.5mm jack and oh woah, they sounded so much better. So with the jack plugged into the controller you have to select the speaker icon that says game ready not the headset one that says earphones, and then raise the volume on the controller for the game sounds and now surround sound works and I can hear where shota are coming from, finally.
Once I got the issues fixed the headset works amazing, the sound quality is insane and the controls work great, I just don’t use the chat volume and I don’t know why Razer added this feature when discord works fine over the regukar surround sound.
