    I would highly recommend this to anybody who would like to find a professional braid microphone where you could control the microphone gain volume so that way people can hear you from the hardware versus doing it from the software. Also use it for music recording with my MacBook Pro. And it works flawlessly

    This mic is really great. Probably the best usb mic you can buy. I use it for teams meetings all the time and if you put it on a mic arm it cancels out the sound of my loud mechanical keyboard.

    I hav a little bit of experience when it comes to microphone, I currently still own my 4 year old Blue Yeti microphone, and now having this razer is time for an upgrade! first impressions razer always does an amazing job when it comes to packaging and this razer seiren v2 pro looks beautiful, the matted color and the the razer print is just about right, you have the mic button, volume and gain nob at front, at the back it even have a microphone plug so I can monitor my sound quality and USB C plug for powering the mic, the USB C plug looks like it will only work for this mike considering it has a special shape to match the body of razer seiren v2. cord is also latest braided cord Razer currently offer and I love em, it’s light weight soft and it’s just a nice well made cables. if you ever own Blue yeti this razer seiren v2 is a lot smaller after comparing to my older mic, and It also feels lighter. audio quality is very good, tested with my friend while playing Apex and Overwatch 2. it is a dynamic mic, you do have to speak on the top of it to get the most of the voice clarity, what i’ve notice is to also have it close or you’ll sound pretty low from my experience. this from using out of the box setting. but you also have razer synapse so software to adjust this microphone, but when it comes to using this while streaming I do all my adjustments using streamlab. im not a mic pro but by any means i’m just a regular gamer guy who enjoys great sounding quality audio, and razer seiren v2 exceeded my expectations, I was surprised the lack of rgb, I honestly thought it will be some kind of light adjustments of such, but nope it’s very muted design and I’m glad they decided to go with this look, I don’t think everything should have rgb, definitely gives the mic a more mature look. i’m a happy customer razer seiren v2 will be my main microphone from now on, my fiancé can now have my older yeti, I am been getting a good amount of razer lately so having this will fit the theme of my gaming setup.

    Great Performance from a Small Package

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Razer Seiren V2 Pro, as I wrote in the title, is a great performing microphone in a very small form factor. Over the past week, I've been testing the Seiren V2 Pro out against my Blue Yeti microphone and have been blown away by the performance that I've been able to get out of this thing. Just look at the size difference between them. To start, I was very surprised by how nice the packaging/presentation of the Seiren V2 Pro was; coming in a nice looking box, with a little note from Razer's Co-Founder and CEO, user manual, and of course Razer stickers. The microphone itself was placed inside layered foam cutouts, which seemed to be of nice quality. Underneath the foam is a box which contained the cable, which was braided and very long, and a pop filter (an addition that I wasn't expecting). During my testing, I found that the Razer Seiren V2 Pro was able to come very very close (like 95%) to the sound quality of the Blue Yeti, while also being able to cut out a large amount of background noise. I found the sound quality of the Blue Yeti to be just a little more crisp, but it also picked up a great amount of background noise, such as fans and other things. When testing the Seiren V2 Pro out with friends in discord, they were unable to hear me using my keyboard, something that they almost always talk about being able to hear with my Blue Yeti and when switching back and forth between the microphones while in the call, my friends were unable to notice any differences in the overall sound from either microphone. Both microphones share features such as a mute button and volume and gain knobs. The only thing that the Blue Yeti has that the Seiren V2 Pro doesn't have is the knob for directional controls/patterns (cardioid, bidirectional, omnidirectional, and stereo), which in my situation, I don't really use much anyway (I set it to the one pattern that worked best for me and left it there). If you are looking for something that will give you great voice quality while gaming or streaming, than the Razer Seiren V2 Pro is a great option and I highly recommend it. However, If you are looking to start a podcast and are looking for something that could pick up multiple voices in a room well, then I may look for a different microphone. To anyone with a headset looking to get a dedicated microphone, this is a very great option and will be much better than the majority of headset mics out there, if not all. After this past week, I am very strongly considering using the Seiren V2 Pro as my main microphone from here on. I tend to deal with a lot of background noise, so being able to have basically the same level of voice quality while also blocking out a majority of my background noise is a major plus in my book.

    Sublime sound and understated design

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Razer Seiren V2 Pro is almost the prototypical Razer product in my eyes: it's well made, easy to use features, solid performance, and is tied to Razer Synapse to get the most use out of it. The Seiren V2 Pro has some really nice features for a streaming mic - it's got a yoke built in which is easy to attach to either the included base or to a boom arm, and the base has a nice dense cell foam pad to absorb desktop vibrations. The Seiren has a really understated design that doesn't scream GAMER but still fits with a modern gaming setup. Things I loved about the Seiren V2 Pro: I love the design. It looks classy and can fit in with all but the most colorful gaming setups. Being able to attach the yoke directly to my boom arm gives another point of articulation to my setup and helps me get the mic aimed properly to reduce keystroke noises. Sound quality is very good to my ear. It's got a very warm sound that doesn't suffer from much sibilance. I have a pop filter and have tried the Seiren both with and without (and with and without the included foam sock) and I didn't notice much difference, so the design of the mic appears to be pretty good for minimizing these issues. I also like the design of the USB-C cable - Razer has molded the connection into the mic itself to reduce strain as you move the mic around. Considering I've had one USB mic that was damaged from being moved while plugged in, I think this is a nice touch. I tried it with a regular USB-C cable from another brand and it worked fine, so if you lose the Razer cable it's not the end of the world. Things I didn't like: Not much to find fault with, but if you don't already have Razer Synapse 3 on your PC, be prepared for a lot of bloat just to use all the features of the Seiren V2 Pro. Razer isn't alone in this, but all of these gaming brands are pushing these huge all-encompassing software packages that are great if you are already in their ecosystem, but a pain if you just want one product. For me, I have a few Razer accessories, so no big deal. Next thing you know I'll have to have Synapse for some reature of my Razer Iskur chair :)

    Great little microphone

    The Razer seiren v2 pro microphone is a great tool to use for recording a podcast or gaming. It comes in a nice box with foam padding surrounding it to protect it. When you take it out of the box, you have to screw the base into the microphone, and then plug the usb-c cable into the mic also. They are not attached while in the box. The other end of the usb-c cable has a usb-a port that goes into your computer. The cable is about 10 ft long and nylon braided to prevent it from fraying. It feels very sturdy. The box also contains the windsock (this is the big foam cover that goes on the speaking end of the microphone to prevent popping when you say the “p” sound when you speak into the mic). Depending on where you have the mic setup in relation to where you are, you may not need the windsock on the mic. The mic also swivels on each knob on either side of the microphone. You can also hear yourself as you are speaking into the mic because you can plug in your headphones into the back of the microphone. The plug for this is an audio jack. The setup is very easy. You do have to download software and that can take some time depending of your internet speed. Now for the sound quality. To test the sound, I compared it to my Blue Yeti mic. By far the Razer mic was a better choice for me. The gain button made a huge difference in the volume of the recording. When you turn down the gain volume, the volume of the sound goes down and it is more difficult to hear you when you’re speaking. When you turn the gain volume up, the recording gets louder. But at the same time, it also picks up more ambient noises when the gain volume is turned up. With the gain volume up, you can be further away from the mic and sound like you are a foot away. This eliminates the need for the windsock and prohibits the popping sounds when you speak into the mic. One of the things I don’t like about the microphone is that it does not eliminate any shock despite what it says in the description. I can clearly hear my typing, tapping, and any other noise in the room. Again, the higher you turn the gain volume, the more likely you will also pick up any other noises. I would recommend getting this microphone because of its ability to control the volume of the recording in real time as opposed to when you’re editing the recording. It’s very simple to use and has a very quick setup. Your voice is crisp and clear also. No static or any other sound issues.

    High-Quality Streaming USB Microphone

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Razer Seiren V2 Pro is a high-quality professional-grade USB Microphone intended for streaming. It can however be used for any use of a good quality microphone, including remote workers, YouTube Videos, and podcasting. This review will be done in 3 parts – features, usage impressions, and pros/cons: Features: The features of this Microphone are excellent. It is a 30 mm dynamic Cardioid microphone. The microphone is a top-entry microphone, which mean the microphone should have the top of the microphone pointed at your mouth for the best sound capture. The microphone itself has 3 controls – a mute button, a volume control for headphones connected via the 3.5 mm headphone port, and a Microphone Gain control for adjusting the sound capture sensitivity. Additional features include an analog gain limiter pre preventing vice distortion, a high pass filter to block unwanted low frequencies, mic monitoring (via the 3.5 mm headphone port) to allow oneself to be heard accurately, a windsock and built-in shock absorber to dampen noise. The microphone comes with a USB-A to USB-C Cable with the USB C going on the microphone end of the connection. The cable is very long and should support most routing/mounting needs. An image of everything that comes in the box is included with this review. Razer offers its Synapse software for device and Audio Mixing via this software (see images included with this review). This software allows one to “assign your audio to the respective outputs and control the levels at which they play.” Usage Impressions: The audio quality of this microphone is top notch. I used it in a variety of modes, and it performed well. When video conferencing, No one on the other end said I sounded abnormal. The microphone does note require any special software to be loaded for use and the drivers load without issue. The microphone is also usable with an existing Boom and shock mount that I have as part of my setup (see last image with this review). Pros: Audio quality, Streaming settings to feed to a streaming mixer Cons: Mic monitoring sound is slightly hollow out of the box.

    Not Quite Right

    I wanted to like this mic. I wanted to use it for travel as it’s smaller than the “well known” mic I use today. I wanted to use it with my macs. For a brand-new product, I was surprised it did not use the newer USB-C connector (would have made it easier to use with my mac too). USB-C connectors are so much easier to use, especially in the dark. I found the included software (Razer Synapse) was difficult to set up, and hard to use with the other software I use while streaming. The stream mixing software seemed like a nice product, but overly complex. Why it has to add 10 virtual devices to the windows audio menu is beyond me. It’s like they think that their software will be the only software being used. Most unlikely. And it only runs on windows. The automatic gain control was too aggressive, I had to disable it to use the Siren Mic. Once I had the mic setup, I was generally impressed with the sound quality, that is when the mic was just the right distance away. Here is the real problem, in actual use the mic needs to get moved, or I have to move fairly frequently during the course of use. The microphone stand was quite wobbly, a small bump could knock it over, and that crashing sound was something I was thinking about, trying to avoid. If I’d really liked it the only way, I could see using it was on an external boom. The included stand does not support the mic as it should. This further prevented me from wanting to use this to travel with. I found the external buttons less intuitive than the mic I’m accustomed to using, the mute made sense, but the other 2 controls (volume and gain) just spin. The mic does have a headphone port, but setup with their software is overly complicated (you have to adjust the sound level of the headphone port versus PC output, and you have to do it through the mixer…). The sound quality was very good when I was just the right distance from the mic, but small variations in distance from the mic dramatically changed the audio quality significantly. Much more than my other mic. The sweet spot for the mic was uncomfortably close. Trying to use the gain control didn’t provide any improvement. I found this very frustrating, and on this basis alone I cannot recommend this mic compared to other products available. It does not perform as well as I expected it to. It does not perform as well as its competition.

    A Mic that Deserves a Listen Too

    I have used a very expensive mic for streaming since 2017 and wanted to compare my XLR 3 pin setup that runs through a midi convertor against a USB mic. When asked to review the Razer Seiren V2 Pro, the first thing I checked was if it was USB, I wanted this so I can possibly remove the midi controller. Well, guess what, the midi is disconnected and the Razer Seiren V2 is now my main source of recording sound for my stream with my wife. Together, my wife and I stream us gaming and just talking about life and the world news, things we see or people we talk too and we have fun. The setup she uses is another brand as well that is a 3.5mm mic and hers always sounds great but again, we have to use an adapter cable and straight USB would make using OBS that much easier. After the easy setup through the Razer software, connecting it to OBS was super simple and worked right away without an issue. After a one hour stream, we went back through and listened for any feedback, outside noise, muffling, and just straight quality checks. I can honestly say the sound is great and can easily be adjusted as well. There is an adjustable gain on the mic and I found for my deep and loud voice I was able to run it low, about 25% and my voice sounds natural and not overpowered at all. With my wife 5 feet from me, there was also zero mic feedback between us and no cross sound, this was a huge benefit and I loved that this worked the way it did. Now, I do have to bring up the sound was much better the 2nd time around for noise cancelling when I put the mic on the mic boom and was able to put the mic closer to my face rather than sit on the desk. I really believe the mic sitting on the desk even with the vibration resistant bottom still picks up vibrations and sound reflecting from the desk surface. If you want the upmost professional sound, put it on a mic boom are, mine was about $65 from Best Buy. The High Pass filter does work, the low hum of the van in the background is no longer heard through the Razer Seiren V2 but you can through my wife's, so we will be updating hers as well. The Mic also has a built in mute button if you do not have a quick key setup but I use a quick key through OBS so it is not used for myself but it is there. I am very happy with this Mic, the sound is clear, not as good as my expensive mic but because of the noise cancellation alone, I will be using the Razer Seiren V2 Pro as my daily mic going forward because the sound difference to 99% of the listeners will not tell a difference in my voice but will have a better listening experience without the unwanted background noises. I recommend you or anyone try this mic before buying an expensive Midi setup mic for streaming.

    Razer has done a great job with this v2 Seiren Professional grade USB microphone. Always loved getting Razer's packaging. It is quite the experience to open up the box and see the microphone for the first time. All matte black everything, even the lettering is blacked out. Adjustment on the base is easy enough. Mute button on front is a bit small but nice touch that turns green/red depending on if you are muted or not. Volume and gain knobs on the front are also on the small side but useable. It is very nice to have a USB-C connection even if the included cord is to USB-A. Headphone jack on the rear of the mic is also in a decent location. I love the all matte black everything aesthetic and even though the mic seems a bit on the smaller side overall when compared to other professional grade microphones, I love it. The downside for me is that in the soft padding that is used on the bottom of the stand, it's too soft. I have a solid desk but any small vibration or even typing on my keyboard and I can visually see the microphone moving around. I personally would have liked to have had a more solid base. You can get around this by just mounting it to a mic stand since it does have the thread to mount and it's neat that they covered it up with a black rubber cap. Now for the sound! I am impressed that something of this size and with a 30mm dynamic cardioid microphone is this good. The sound of your voice is comparable to that of clear, crisp, DJ talking to their audience. It's worth to just try it out for your game streams or podcasts. Razer does a great job of also clearing out any background noise that might be in the background from your pc fans or other unwanted noise. You can also control your setting with Razer Synapse, which does a good job overall for quality control of your voice output recordings.

    The Razor Seiren v2 Pro produces warm, clear vocals, feels incredibly solid and looks professional. The single pick up pattern (directly from the top of the microphone) is perfect if, like me, you want to mount the microphone on a desk mounted arm. This can be done with either the threaded bottom on the stand or the threaded bottom on the mic body itself. On PC you can install the Razor Synapse software and adjust mic gain and monitor output from the headphone jack on the back of the mic as well as turn on the high pass filter and analog gain limiter. I found both settings useful for eliminating background hiss and distortion respectively. You can also set the sampling rate (44.1/48/96kHz). I do wish I also had a way to toggle these settings on my Mac, but Razer being primarily a PC gaming company probably doesn't see a lot of business on the Mac side. However the settings seem to persist so if you have access to a PC you can certainly enable the settings then switch over to a Mac to record. There really isn't anything else standing in the way of getting good recordings. For my voice, the tone is warm, pleasant and clear as a bell. There are no other polar patterns to choose from - this is not a mic for doing interviews across a table. It is a mic for streamers and content creators who want to record one voice and sound good doing it right out of the box which suits me fine. The housing feels well built, the knobs and button are tactile and responsive and even the cable is long and very high-quality. I'd highly recommend this mic to anyone who just wants to plug in and record themselves and sound good doing it.

    Best microphone I ever!

    Razer products have never disappointed me, and this Razer Seiren v2 Pro is no exception. This is the best microphone I have ever used. The people that I game with all say that there is no breaking up, no background noise, no popping or cracking, no static, no loud burst of noise. They all said that my voice sounded clear and balanced. The video that I made had great voice quality too. Outside of streaming during gameplay and making a video, the other things I have done with the microphone are a zoom meeting, in which the participants all agreed that my voice was full of clarity and there was no feedback whatsoever. I also did a video chat with someone and that went well too. As far as the features of the microphone, I have no complaints at all. The stand is solid and heavy enough to withstand a bump or two. The volume and gain have a knob to turn, which I love. The mute button has a red light that comes on, and when it’s not muted there is a bright green light that lights up. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack in the back that allows you to hear your own voice, which is cool. It comes with a microphone windsock that helps to dampen noise. It has a built in shock absorber too. It is a dynamic microphone. It has a high pass filter to block out unwanted noise, and I must say it works well. The cord is USB-C to USB-A, and it’s 6ft long. I’d highly recommend this microphone.
