Customer Ratings & Reviews

3.5 jack was untested) The Seiren V3 Chroma lives up to its name - from the very moment it is plugged in, the lights easily light up a dark room. Once the drivers were installed, and Razer Synapse updated, control over the microphone was extremely straight forward. Color range is quite vast and brightness (after turning it down some) perfect. Audio volume is great, even with a low voice, and is extremely crystal clear. The "hidden" feature to light red when the volume is peaking is also a great add on. I will note, when muting the microphone via the quick tap at the top, the tap itself is able to be heard. The nob, on the front, is not able to be heard though. The nob itself is also kept with a reasonable resistance so it's not too easy to spin. The microphone as a whole, is also difficult to accidentally push over with the base it comes with. While I do not have a boom arm to test it, the screw in/out of the base is tight and secure and seems that it wouldn't fall out. The adjustable nobs on the hinge also make the microphone extremely snug and rigid. There's also been a few version changes for the firmware. Some of the features present on Razer's on website are hidden. I highly recommend updating the firmware with their downloadable tool. Once fully updated, there is a handful of newer features become available, such as Stream mix and more control over the tap button and dial. All in all, 5/5. One of the best microphones Razer has released so far. Using for twitch, YouTube and online chatting.

Like everyone else, I had to adapt my way of work when COVID hit. I had a home office already, but in the new age of ZOOM calls with clients, I needed to add a few more pieces of equipment. One of the first lessons I learned was that the built in microphone on my laptop was NOT up to the task. My calls were muddy and of really low volume. I had to shout to be heard. What I needed was an external USB microphone for my setup. Over the course of the next two years, I tried abut a half dozen different microphones. Some had great sound, but were way too big for my setup. Others were small, but their sound wasn't much of an improvement over the laptop. I cycled through many until I received this Razer Siren V3 microphone. This may be the one that lasts. As a 50 (ish) year old Engineer, I'm not the typical target audience for Razer products. I don't stream and never game online. Razer products are known for their quality but also for their flashy backlights, highlights, whatever with outrageous colors. They never were an option for me in the past until I got this microphone recommended to me. It's a good size for my setup- not too large as it fits nicely next to my monitor. The sound is outstanding. I get lots of complements on it during calls. The dial on the front to work the levels is handy as well. Tapping the top to mute is handy.It connects via USB to my monitor which then connects via a single cable to my laptop. It's all very convenient. The base is weighted nicely and the microphone doesn't move around much. I've been very happy with it's performance versus my much more expensive Yeti that had been part of my setup. All that said, the lights can be a bit much. They are fully configurable. You can have a solid light in multiple color options, rotating colors over time, or the lights can pulsate to the cadence of your voice. Cool features if I was streaming probably, but in my case, my favorite setting is off. No lights at all is an option which will work well for older professionals like me. My only knock is that when I unplug my laptop then plug it back in later, it forgets my off selection and picks back up with the defauly lights. I have to reset it each time to off. I wish it remembered the last setting. If you're looking for a decent sounding microphone, I highly recomment this one.

This microphone takes my online communications to a new level. I work remote so 99% of my work interactions are via online meetings. This microphone has dynamically improved the audio that other hear when we are meeting. The microphone is directional, so it picks up my voice while filtering out surrounding noises. There is a dial on the front that allows me to control the sensitivity. The microphone works with the Razer Synapse software to better control and configure all of the features. The microphone has a headphone jack so the front dial can be configured to control the headphone or microphone volume. The sampling rate can be set from 44.1 kHz to 96 kHz. There is also a High Pass Filter, Advance Gain Settings, Radio Voice EQ, and a Noise Gate to ensure that you sound your best. On the top is a big button that can be set to have different capabilities depending on if you do a single, double, or triple tap. A single tap always toggles Mute, and the color goes to red. The double and triple tap can be set to set a specific chroma effect, cycle effects, or toggle the effect on and off. The Chroma effect give the microphone a very cool effect, they can be solid or dynamic.

When it works, the Razer Seiren V4 Chroma Condenser USB Microphone does a nice job of recording/capturing voice input and making it sound clear, and it looks very nice/colorful. The person I chatted with on video complimented how it looked without me asking. The instructions are a little complicated, and I admittedly may have not fully understood what they were saying (for example they say pressing/tapping/holding a button for 3 seconds does two different things). When I tested it the first day, things worked great. It was nice, it came with a good length cable, I was even able to (not that you'd want to do this) bring an exercise bike near my desk and bring the Seiren over to the bicycle and pedal lightly while recording audio/video. I admittedly got a little frustrated the second day with this microphone when I wanted to stream video using this as the microphone. Every time I tried to use it the mic was red and the software said the mic was muted. I would tap the button until it turned green (yay) but like 3 seconds later it was red again and not recoding audio. This process repeated about 10 times until I gave up and went back to my old mic because I had to do the video streaming I was doing. I am certain it's not broken, it's possibly an issue with the USB hub it was plugged into (I didn't have time during the streaming to play with that). I will tinker with the settings before my next video meeting and see if I can get it going then. For better or worse, I have a limited time to write this review, so I can only base my review on the experience I had in that time. I'm inclined to give it 4-stars, I would give it 5-stars base on it's look and recording quality, except that it didn't work when I needed it.

Great sound quality, audio mic pick-up from a distance is clear and I love this mic
