Customer Ratings & Reviews

When it comes to computer accessories, I tend to lean towards Razer products. They have great keyboards, mice, headsets, and now a great microphone! I am constantly on the computer whether it's for work or gaming and this microphone serves me two separate ways. With some adjustments, you can use this microphone for zoom meetings or voip calls in the office but it primarily serves as a streaming or recording microphone. It does really well at blocking out the noise in your environment to only capture your voice. The optimal position for one person recording on the microphone is direct on top of it. The smallest separation possible really captures vocals in a very clear and crisp way. You can record 2 people at once but it would take a bit of tinkering to get the gain and distance right. Since this is a Razer product, it comes with its own software where there are more features available including the high pass filter. You have to download Razer synapse for this but it's worth it if you want to cancel out as much as the computer noise and humming as possible since this feature cancels out those low frequencies to make it inaudible. Overall, this microphone is perfect for all my recording/streaming needs. It's simple to set up, has great outside noise cancelation, looks cool and sleek, and captures vocals with crystal clear clarity.

Installing the Synapse software is a must for good user experience. The build quality is very good and it can stand on own on the desk. The buttons are well positioned - volume, gain and mute. Sound Quality ------------------ Sound quality is very good for a USB microphone. My son uses this for his guitar online zoom lessons and the instructor has no complaints. The HI-Pass filter works well in filtering out distortion and noises. The Synapse helps leveling the pitch. Overall great microphone for Vlogging or Online gaming. Price could be a few dollars less.

This is my first dedicated “studio” microphone so I was excited to try this out. Generally, my video content I create needs portable audio solutions out in the field such as on-camera mics or lavalier mics but sometimes I find myself wanting something more professional for voice overs or communicating with others about projects. The Razer Seiren V2 Pro has been a fantastic starting point for my needs. In the Box: - Microphone w/stand - USB-A to USB-C Cable - Foam Windscreen Setup/Usage: Taking the microphone out of the box I could tell this didn’t feel like a super cheap microphone. It had substance which is great when you don’t have experience with a particular brand before. Using the USB cable to plug the mic in worked well because the cable is fairly long so it should reach a desktop on the ground while the mic is up on a desk. The program used to monitor this audio and settings is called Razer Synapse. This is a basic program that allows you to adjust settings such as volume of the microphone, headphones, high pass filter, and selecting audio quality. Adjustments on the mic itself are two knobs for adjusting the mic and headphone levels and a mute button. After getting everything setup, I tested the mic through the software just to hear what positions and such sounded best. I found the position mattered a lot as to where one could position their mouth in relation to the mic. You also need to be fairly close in most instances for good volume and clarity. Typically, I found keeping it within 2-5 inches of my mouth worked best at a slight angle. I was impressed that it blocked out many background noises that may have been picked up by many other mics out there. OF course this will vary as to what setting you have the mic set to, the volume of your voice, and the environment but it did a good job in most cases. Overall, as a videographer who doesn’t generally need a dedicated mic in a studio setting, I have found the Razer Seiren V2 Pro a useful tool to have. This mic is geared towards gamers/streamers/podcasters who voice over their content all the time. This may be something I will get into more in the future now that I have a decent microphone but as of now I have found this a handy tool for voicing over content in post that may need more clarification or just to add a few clips here and there. I would highly recommend it for beginners who want a budget microphone for podcasts, streaming, or other video content.

If you are in the market for a good microphone, this should be one of your best options and come at a good price. When you need to work regularly using your voice for digital presentations, podcasts, or just videoconferences like in my case, a good mic is a no-brain investment. Razer is delivering quality, performance, and aesthetics with this model. I think, by the sense of the materials that this could be a good long-term investment. I own other Razer products: a mouse, and headphones, and this manufacturer has great attention to detail when delivering the product. The mic comes in a perfectly protected box with an instruction book and all the cables. In this case, for when is needed, I love the inclusion in the package of one mic foam shield. Easy to set up, I love that the USB plug and work technology is still the easiest that you can find for any hardware today. The configuration is done by your windows with the recognition of the drivers. One suggestion for advanced settings is to download and use the Razer synapse app that you could know from other Razer products. After the initial configuration and very simple tests, you just start to understand the advantages of the Filter to eliminate or minimize the background noises that your coworkers will appreciate while you work from your home with kids around. The fact that the basic elements of your mic like the volume and your gain (including also the mute bottom) are in front of you makes the operation the simplest possible. I don’t like and I don’t use the mic monitoring option that I found disturbing. However, if you are looking for perfect control of your voice, plugging your headphones Finally, I love the mic comes fully ready to use with the desktop stand and no more investments are needed. Final consideration: this mic is exactly what I need to deliver my voice quality and simplicity. I was initially concerned by the “professional grade” element in the name. I am not a singer or a super expert in sound and I was not attracted to a super complicate device. I need to deliver, using my voice, clear communication to my audience in this digital world, and I don’t want to spend crazy hours in the sound room. Great option made by Razer

So far, I have been enjoying using this mic. It is great if you have a noisy room setting. You can turn it down and for the most part get rid of a lot of the noise. However, you will then have to have the mic right up against your mouth. That is not to say it will eliminate all noise. But compared to a condenser mic, it just a lot better job. I use an arm boom so I can bring it right up to my mouth and talk to the end. I have used it with OBS, and VMIX and both recognized the mic. I have also used it with voicemeter with no issues as well. The clarity of the mice is great and better the closer to the mic you are. Plug into the mic is a USB C but the provided cord only allows you to plug in one way. I like that they provide you with a mic cover. And I like the all black color theme. The provided desk stand is the best one that I have used so far. Still picks up some noise when hit keys or desk but not nearly as much as other mics I have used. The software is basic and really does not add much. You can control how loud you want the playback to be and were to send it too. as well as the gain. but that is pretty much it. The cord is braided and pretty long so that is nice. Some things I would have loved to see. Options to change your voice. Or to add effects to your voice. The software, its basic but it also is glitchy. I will go to adjust something, and it will freeze up for a couple seconds then work for a little and if I make another change, freeze up again. etc. etc. Would have like to have seen an adaptor for the thread to screw onto a mic boom. I had one from my other mic that I used but it would have been nice to see one provided. I also notice that it does pick up if I hit the mic boom. Overall, a great sounding mic. Great if you are a streamer, or just enjoy gaming with your friends, this is a great mic. Not only great when I stream, but when I am not streaming, it replaces my headset mic for talking to my friends in game. They all noticed right away that I got a new mic, and they said the clarity, and my voice just sounded way better. And a lot of the background noise was not there that is normally there with my other stream mic or my headset mic.

Pro: -Good sounding mic out of the box -Mid-high range sounds full -Streaming mix Con: -Synapse can be buggy Having gone through a few USB and XLR mics, I can say that this mic lands about the same as other brands in this price range. It sounds good and clear, but it picks up more background noise than other dynamic mics I’ve owned. Synapse, when it’s working, can route audio for a streaming mix and monitor mix. It’s still not as good as other software from competitors. Even though it works out of the box without Synapse, if you want better software to mix your stream audio, I would go with another brand. The Mic The mic seems well made and doesn’t feel too light. It comes with a wind guard and a sturdy swivel stand. The knobs on the mic spin endlessly without any stops so it’s difficult to know what the volume is without looking in Synapse. It’s plug and play and can be used right out of the box without needing to install Synapse. The sound is good, but is lacking in the lower range. It sounds about the same as any other USB mic in this price range. Even though it’s a dynamic mic, it picks up just about every background noise from far away. Its noise rejection from the back isn’t that good. Speaking directly from behind the mic, it’s still pretty clear and audible, only reducing about half the volume from the front. Synapse Software I had mixed results with Synapse. You can adjust the gain and monitor level on the mic, as well as increasing the sample rate. You can toggle high-pass filter and auto gain limiter, but neither of them worked that well. When it works, it’s able to create virtual inputs and route audio sources through a single control point like a physical mixer. You can then mix those audio levels and output them as a single Stream Mix to OBS, while having a monitor mix to hear independently from the stream audio. It still doesn’t have as many features as competitors such as being able to add EQ, Noise Suppression, or Compressor. So if you output the stream audio to OBS, you won’t be able to fine tune the audio per channel. However, on one of the Windows 11 PCs I tried it on, Synapse was a mess. It would crash whenever a setting was changed, the Stream Mix is toggled on/off, or if I unplugged the mic. I also couldn’t monitor the mic through its headphone jack if the streaming mix is routing audio through it. This made it unusable. This may be due to the latest version of WIndows 11 which the other PCs are not on.

I was a bit skeptical of the professional-grade label that Razer placed on their Siren V2 microphone, but after using it for a few hours they have me sold. It's a great looking microphone, that won't stick out or look tacky in a Zoom meeting, and has surprisingly great sound quality. It was super easy to get up and running, just plug the USB cord into the microphone, plug the other end into the computer, hit the power button and select it from the input choices in the sound setting menu of the computer. I fired up Audacity, plugged in my headphones into the microphone, and adjusted the gain setting for the microphone and the volume level for the headphones. I recorded a bunch of tracks and played them back as I changed the gain level, and tried different microphone placements to see what sounded the best. The sound out of this microphone is really clean, and very neutral. I didn't notice any harshness, or sibilance, and it wasn't muddy or boomy either. It still sounded pretty good when I got really close to test the proximity effect. It's super sensitive too... it was picking up the sounds of the refrigerator from the other room with no problem even with the gain cut way back. I would recommend using a noise gate to take out the little bit of background noise it pics up. I didn't notice any issues with plosives, and using the included clown nose pop filter made plosive rejection even better without muddying up the sound or making it overly dark. Overall the sound quality is great for this price point, especially for a USB microphone without any interface. The only gripe I have is the build quality is lacking. The included microphone stand has a pad on the bottom that is not flat, so the microphone wobbles around. The handling noise rejection is completely non existent... if I touch the microphone, or any of the cables by accident the mic picks up that noise loudly. The body of the microphone rings like a bell if tapped, and the knobs for adjusting the gain and headphone volume are very loose and wiggle around in their holes. But all that aside, as an actual microphone, it works great, and as long as you don't need to hand hold it I can easily recommend this for anyone looking for a good sounding microphone on a small budget.

I have been using the Razer Seiren v2 for the last few weeks for a variety of tasks and it has proven itself to be a fantastic choice at this price for someone who games, but also regularly takes work meetings at home. The clarity is fantastic and the cabling is very tough feeling and durable, providing a lot of confidence that you can move this mic from system to system without worrying about the cables fraying or the stand breaking. The bas of the stand is fully removeable and works with articulating microphone arms through a standard 5/8" thread. The performance in streams is fantastic, with excellent clarity and little to no interference from other devices and the included windsock helps for those who participate in meetings of jobs who use a lot of letters that normally require a pop filter! Along with that, the front facing mute button helps reduce mute anxiety during meetings, giving you a clear indicator whether your microphone is muted or not! This is great for stream, too, as sometimes you need to quickly mute yourself without having to jump back to OBS or your streaming platform. The setup is quick and easy, the microphone is light enough to move around but feels solidly built and premium, the controls feel excellent, and the software from Razer is easy to use. I would definitely recommend this to newer streamers and/or those looking to up their Teams/Zoom meeting audio quality without having to wear a full headset or invest in expensive XLR equipment!

So this is clearly not for online video conferences. This is geared for anyone trying to get into streaming, podcasts, media creation, etc. I have been trying my hand at podcasts and these fit the bill. Out of the box, I was pleased with the design. Razer products, in my opinion, always tend to have a clean and sturdy build quality. The Seiren V2 Pro was no different. It has a clean and crisp design without overdoing it. Despite it being a "professional-grade" mic, it is not professional music studio stuff that I would start singing covers on. It connects via USB. You do have to download their software but it is pretty straightforward. It comes with a base that you have to screw in. In terms of getting good sound, you have to speak pretty close to it in order to get clear audio. If you do that, you get some darn good sounds. I am a newbie when it comes managing all of the different settings, but I was getting some good recordings. It does pick up all sorts of ambient noise and distorted sound that bothered me despite playing with the gain. If I was better at using the software, this would potentially not be a problem. I will continue to fiddle with it. All in all, I am happy with the sound quality but do think it requires alot of fiddling to maximize its true potential.

Excellent on streamyards when you tweaked the settings
