Got it on sale. Love this headset.
Got this on sale for $50 off about a year and half ago. Still going strong since then. This headset can fit pretty much anyone due to its adjustable headband and pretty flexible nature. This is also quite durable since there were times that I dropped this on the floor and yanked on the wire too hard. The sound quality is also amazing for gaming and listening to music. I have play games with spotify on the side all the time. The dedicated USB audio control has the feature to separate game and chat audio. I set my discord output to "chat", while my Windows output is set to "game". That way, I can adjust the balance between game and chat audio. The microphone quality is pretty decent. I've tested it with discord, OBS while streaming, and even plugged into my iPhone, and the quality is great. Just don't put it too close to your mouth since it doesn't have a built-in pop filter. I eventually upgraded to a dedicated Blue Yeti microphone so I don't use it anymore, but it is still a great sounding mic if you're talking to friends on discord. You also have two ways to mute your mic: the big mute button on the USB sound control, and the mute switch on the headset wire. I use the former a lot more often. The only feature I can't really talk about is the THX Spatial Audio that comes with the Razer software. I've played a few FPS's with and without the spatial audio, and honestly it sounds virtually the same, thus it won't really improve your gameplay. I don't see myself buying a new headset anytime soon. The price seems to go down every holiday so get it while it's on sale.

Need to Change the EQ
Comfort: Overall the headset is very comfortable. Surprisingly the ear muffs don't get too hot when wearing for long periods of time and the band isn't too stiff so I'm not afraid of breaking it when I put it on. Just follow the directions and give it a gentle pre-bend/flex before wearing it for the first time. Sound Quality: One of the main reasons I bought this specific brand is because of the Razer synapse software that pairs with it. When pluggin in the headset with the EQ flat, the sound quality is supper mid and low-mid heavy making it very woofy. However, the Razer Synapse software allows you to modify the EQ with a convinient graphic EQ set ups so I was able to put in a mid scoop (cut the mid and low mid and boost the bass and trebel). Once I set up that EQ curve it sounded way better and a lot closer to the quality of my entry level studio monitors. Mic Quality: the Mic quality is great just make sure it's close to your mouth so you don't sound too distant. The noise canceling is good too. Overall: The only reason it's not 5 stars is because for someone who does not know how to EQ their audio, these don't sound that great plugged in out of the box with a flat EQ. Once you do mess with it though, these become WAY better and it's suddenly worth a much greater value. Left to right are my EQ values: 2, -1, -3, -3, -5, -2, 1, 3, 4, 1 See the attached picture for my EQ curve

One of the best headsets I've owned, hands down.
The headset I used before was the Corsair Void Pro, but the first day that headset started to hurt my head after long usages and there was a lot of heat build up near my ears. I had to take it off every few hours or so. With this new headset, I wore it 12 hours straight playing Valorant and Minecraft Dungeons with my friends, and wow. I'm impressed for this price point. My head hasn't started to hurt, the microphone is so much better, and it is so much comfortable than the Corsair Void headset. Their exclusive 7.1 surround sound is very cool, it really helps with shooter games, like Valorant, to know where your opponents are. Definitely buying Razer next time!
