Customers are mixed about the value of the headphones. Some mention that it's very worth the price, has amazing sound quality, and is a solid headset. However, others say that it is too expensive for the actual quality, not long enough for the price and that it barely lasts a year.
"...So I needed a new one. I didn't put much thought into this, It was a good price and kind of impulse bought it after making sure it was in fact a USB..." Read more

"...quality and paired applications - but the headset I received had a damaged cord and the audio would go in and out if I moved even in the slightest." Read more
"...My only real beef with this set is the lack of cord length. I was unable to use these with my original placement of my PC...." Read more
"...One of the down sides of this headset is the cord, It tends to warp, knot and tangle it self if its not looked after...." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I had to write this, I only had them like 2 days now. Wore them all day today and I cannot believe I'm not in pain like I have been from my hyper x cloud 2. My other headset broke. The mic just doesn't work. So I needed a new one. I didn't put much thought into this, It was a good price and kind of impulse bought it after making sure it was in fact a USB connection because I can't deal with finding the right port for the circle ones/jacks. (I am very tired).
I wear glasses, my headsets tend to dig and cause pain into my head. These are not... very roomy feeling. My only gripe as my other headset mic could come out. I could move the headset any way and put the cord on either side of me. These I have to wear them one way only. But that's not a big deal tbh. I like the cord to dangle on my RIGHT side. But it is on the left and has to cross over me. But whatever. I can work on solving that some other time.
I totally didn't realize the RGB colors changing on the sides, pretty neat. Mic and sound are nice. People are not complaining about not hearing me etc. Very nice. I've had issues with discord in the past but no issues atm. (Not sure if it was headset related at all).
I may want to get a stand for them or something just because. Very happy with my purchase so far! (Also thanks to the company for shipping it so fast! )
Update: I reviewed this Feb 10-22. Updating now jul 28-22. This review is getting notice so I figured I might as well update. I'm able to wear this with my glasses for long periods, I game daily with friends talking etc. I find them to be quite comfortable. As far as discord goes, I only got the error of my friends not being able to hear me a couple of times. What resolved that was just closing and restarting the app. Restarting computer. Things like that. I think it's discords issue tbh. Anyways. I found also as I wear glasses, that my glasses weren't fitting me that great, and I needed a wider frame so it didn't cut into my head as much, that also helped with head discomfort. It also stood up to my cats chewing at the mic end. I'm so glad they I can retract it during storage.
Edit:9-30-22. I got another notice for this. So here's some more. I got really busy with life etc so I haven't been gaming or using this much. But when I did use it for the weekend all day they were great! But I noticed when taking them off my ears enjoyed the break. Lol like I'm not used to having stuff around my ears anymore. But still really like these. And no issues with them. They work great. Using discord, people can hear me. My cats love to gnaw on the mic still. I'm really glad I can retract the mic and then I flip the headset over -so Mic faces downward(didn't buy stand, just put them on my PC tower). If I leave it up they with try to sell gnaw at it. Or My cat loves to then gnaw the cord for my attention. I usually stop to give attention so they aren't doing it to long per attention seeking session overall. Cord is going strong, no frays yet.
Hope this continues to help. I hate refunding things myself. Good luck, take care.
My only complaint and the only thing I'm kicking myself for is that I didn't get the wireless version of these. I have headphones from all the major brands, and all of them are Bluetooth except these. Lesson learned. I will be getting the Bluetooth version of these as I game on my phone and I can't use these on my phone since they are USB type A connection, and even if I could they would drain the battery quick.
Now, I should start by explaining that I am very technical. I am a software developer who for ten years ran a custom to order computer company that catered to enthusiasts with hefty hardware and software needs to target specific gaming goals.
The device is gorgeous, durable, sounds awesome, super comfy, has a very nice feel to the cord, and my favorite feature: the physical mute button when you squeeze the extendable, flexible microphone is super satisfying... and glows red when you're on mute. The style and look is absolutely inspiring, and all this other stuff is awesome...yet I still can't run this thing in 7.1.
They say there's a code to enter in the Synapse app. They say after you register the product you'll get the code (your serial number is under one of your ear pads, BTW... You're welcome). They also say that this is virtual 7.1 based off 5.1 technology, and most games only support 5.1 anyway. They ALSO say that if you want to you can pay for a new code to subscribe to the ability to use 7.1 features. I would sooner sell it than to pay a subscriber fee to use my own headphones.
So after three days of messing with this thing I've totally given up on some email they claim to have sent, some code to enter into another software suite they want me to download, and expected software letdowns from the games I play that don't support 7.1 anyway.
I don't see a need for all this hubbub... just pack the ability with the product and make the software run it... there's no reason for this "enter a code to get another code to download a new bit of software to enter another code" crap. That may have been exciting for 12 yearolds in the 90's but we just want it to work. For the love of all that is holy... for the prices we pay, just make it work!

Top reviews from other countries
No se por que razón. Son excelentes en todo sentido y facilmente valen el doble de lo que me costaron.
- PRECIO 11/10
No se como están tan baratos, si los ves en menos de $1,500 valen cada centavo.
- Comodidad 9/10
muy cómodos, los puedo tener puestos por mucho tiempo ya sea trabajando o jugando. es MUY conveniente que el micrófono sea rertactil y se pueda prender/apagar presionando la punta del mic.
los pads son muy suaves y tienen un gel con tela muy cómodo y duradero que no hace sudar, sin embargo en un clima calido si dan algo de calor.
- Materiales 10/10
Todos los materiales son muy buenos y se sienten duraderos. el marco completo es de metal.
- Sonido 10/10
Suenan muy bien por este precio. sonido claro y preciso. No soy fan del THX en contenido no nativo, pero se prende/apaga con un solo botón.
NOTA: El THX no requiere activación, viene incluido en el hardware de los audifonos, solo presiona el botón. y para customizarlo usa la app de razer.
-Estética 10/10
los LEDs se pueden apagar desde el software de Razer y/o configurarlo a tu antojo, sobre todo si tienes mas perifericos de Razer. Mi única queja es no poder cambiar el brillo del mic.
No logro justificar un precio tan bajo en estos audífonos. Excelente calidad y valor, no se como tardé tanto en comprarlos.
