The only reason its not 5 stars is because they dont have a wireless version for this line. Aside from that the surround sound it pretty good, they are very comfortable for prolonged use. The mic is really decent with a bunch of nice features like noise canceling. As for music they are amazing this is where they really shine for me, several EQ's with the ability to customize to your liking and the bass is sweet, clean but deep makes my eardrums rattle which is just was I was looking for. A great set of cans for a reasonable price. If only they had a wireless version and no I dont like the nari's

I think this is one of the best wired headsets I have ever owned. It's comfortable and works great with gaming. I prefer wired over wireless because of the response. The cord doesn't get tangled or anything, The sound is amazing and it truly is THX.
I do wish it was both wired and wireless, so you can switch between the two. All in all, a great headset and quality. The mic is better than even the one on my webcam.
And remember to take care of your stuff, It fits nicely on my RGB stand. Can't get enough RGB.

I managed to snag these when they were on sale, 3 months later and let me tell you, they have been a breeze! I spent $180 on a SteelSeries pair, doesn’t compare! The sound is crisp, as well as the mic, just mess with the settings and you’ll get the perfect settings for this…it is also USB powered, you don’t have to worry about charging them, this is a 10/10 for me, they’re super comfortable as well! I love it! And only paid $75! The sound is impeccable.

I've had this headset since March of 2021 and it's been good to me. The mic is pretty good and the configuration settings on the razer software make it it even better. Sound quality isn't amazing but its not bad either. Only issue is the cord, the material wrapped around it gets kinda gross after a while. Also, kinda nitpicky but the LED colors are slightly off has sorta a slight green to it.

These were very good headphones. I used them for gaming for games like valorant. The mic is very good. One down side is that it plugs in by usb instead of the headphone Jack, which may be a minor inconvenience for people with limited usb ports. The bummer is that over time, the top of the headphones peel. But overall, very good headphones

Got compliments on the mic from a few people I play the division 2 with. Sound is great. You can tell what direction sounds are coming from. Making it alot easier to find enemies when you play fps games. Lighting looks great, ear muffs are nice and cool. These do not noise cancel well. You will still hear your clicks on mechanical keyboards unless you turn the volume up a bit.. That's my only con for this headset.

I was excited to get my first headset for pc but was greatly disappointed. Other players online would complain about the mic quality towards me in voice chats saying I had a very bad mic, even friends would tell me in discord. the quality of sounds was okay in some games but in games like Minecraft Windows Edition it would sounds very high pitched and distorted. I downloaded the software for razer to optimize sounds and it was buggy and would reset the settings I’d put after shutdown. I overall give the headset 3/5 stars because it was disappointing and the only feature I liked was the mute mic option on the headset.

The best cost effective surround sound headphones out there. I’m parked at a desk playing PC games. Why do I need wireless? A little mid heavy, but no complains. Comfortable and light.

These headsets are great. The mic is good and very comfy. When using the mic suppression, you absolutely have to have the mic opening in front of your mouth. If it's slightly looking downward or upward, it can cause your voice breaking in and out. It sounds great even without suppression and don't hear much background noise if any.
The only thing about the headset, you can't change which side the mic is on. I can't see out of my left eye, so I can't actually see if the mic is muted or not. That would be the only bad thing I have to say.
No problems with comp program, mic, or headset In general. :)

As a Twitch Affiliate it's important to meet the needs of my subs, follows and most of all my games. I used to play "silent" for myself to avoid feedback into the Mic (Razer Seiren Mini) and finally was able to justify getting this headset, a great deal on BestBuy, for sure. It's amazing to finally hear the goings-on in the games. I have used the built-in mic and it's really good quality considering, but now I'm only using it for in-game Discord voice chat, which isn't heard in the stream. I haven't messed with the RGB feature, letting it just do its own thing. Maybe down the road?
