Sounds fantastic just the software and microphone piece is odd, I had lots of issues downloading the software where I had to contact customer service several times and the piece to make the microphone is a little tricky to put in where it doesn't constantly fall out, the color affects look amazing and this is incredibly a comfortable fit!

I bought this headset for my partner after the last expensive pair I got him started falling apart in less than 6 months. He absolutely loves jt. The lights are customizable, and they sound amazing. He said that it was super easy to set up, and that the mic has really good sound quality. They have pretty good range, and they seem pretty durable so far. The quality of the mic is really good as well. Overall, I'd say I would 100% buy this headset again. If you're looking for something comfortable with really good sound quality look no further.

Absolutely love this headset. The sound is fantastic. Pretty much everything I have in my setup is Razer. I love the quality of their products and the customized lighting is just dope! Sound quality is ideal. The THX spatial audio upgrade is well worth it and the discount on the upgrade is great. The quality of the mic and the sound is just perfect as well as the software customized that's already set up for a lot of games with presets that you can tell have been really tuned for the best performance. More expensive isn't always the best thing, this headset is a perfect example.

If you're looking for something simple that works great, I highly recommend this Barracuda X Chroma. Microphone is very clear. However, the only thing that annoyed me is that I use it for work and gaming so when I attend a meeting, I can hear myself talking loudly because the noise cancellation is perfect on this headset so you hear your voice from within your body. If you wanna know what I mean, just block both your ears and talk. Just to mention that its not the headset fault, I looked it up and it mostly happen to the people with sinus or ear problems.

A week in and these are great. I didn’t buy them to game, I got these to work from home so I could get rid of my heavy & wired headset. Works great with Cisco calls and MS Teams, audio is great and I’ve been told that they can’t hear my background noise. The only “cons” I’d say are that the range isn’t great, they’ll begin to crackle after 15ish feet. The multiple programs, Synapse, Chroma, and the one for 7.1 surround, is a bit silly - why not make just one program. They can also be a bit difficult to navigate. Lastly, they’re not as heavy as my wired headset, but they can definitely tire your neck if left on for an extended amount of time.
Very good, only very minor issue with connectivity

Very good sound, very good RGB, but sometimes (not often at all) it decides it needs to connect to Bluetooth and I have to disconnect it multiple times for it to start working with the usb dongle.

I don't use it too much but that battery last forever. When I go two months without getting on and there is still a ton of battery left it is so convenient.

The headphones were amazing. They were comfortable to wear and they sounded great. One problem is that when using the headphones on a game that uses voice chat, it distorted the sound.

Love the color option in this headset. The RBG isn’t too insane. Compatible with Razer Audio app.
The only down side is I wished the mic was wireless. I use this headset for gym days but can’t answer phone calls unless I bring the mic with me, which is cumbersome and easy to lose. Would like to see this with a wireless mic.
Side note: Sound quality is fine but you can hear the music outside the ear cups. Just be mindful of this bc others can hear it as well.
I would recommend this to a friend

The sound and fit are excellent! The instructions and software leave much to be desired. The paper instructions are a very low-contrast silver on black, making them hard to read. They are also incomplete. Good luck switching from Bluetooth to 2.4 GHz without going online to search for how to do that. I still can't use the 7.1 Surround Sound software because it refuses to acknowledge that I am logged in.

I love these headphones! I’ve had them for a year now and I have used them almost every day. I use them for both gaming and daily use out of home. The battery life on them is incredible; I use them so frequently and for so long that I forget that I even have to charge them. Ive never had an issue with them, 10/10 would recommend!
