I had the Man O War Wireless but the headband was just not designed well. Small plastic tabs attached the top of the headband to the frame of it, and those snapped for me through no abuse on my end. These are surprisingly more comfortable to wear and more durable as well. Just a better design overall. It's also surprisingly comfortable to have on your neck if you need to take the headset off for a bit, the old MoW's I had just dug into my neck. These are expensive but for being a great wireless headset for both PC and PS4 (or xbox), they're worth the price.

I was apprehensive at trying out another wireless headset that used the 2.4GHz spectrum for its wireless frequency as I haven't had good luck with the range on other headsets but decided to try out the Thresher after reading about another user's positive experience. The packaging is excellent and easy to setup. I attached the base station to my PC using the included braided micro USB cable and placed it about 2 feet away from my PC so I could isolate the base station from my other devices. Held down the power button on the headset to place it into pairing mode, turned on the base station, and the Razer logo on the ear cups of the Thresher flashed until it had paired with the base station. Windows 10 detected and installed drivers for the base station automatically. The headset shows up in the Sound Manager as: Headset Earphone (Razer Thresher Ultimate for PS4) for Playback and Headset Microphone (Razer Thresher Ultimate for PS4) for Recording. The first test that I always perform with new headsets is the Skype Echo / Sound Test service since it will automatically record my voice and then play it back to me. This tells me at least that my microphone is working and that I can hear the test service's voice, too. Tested passed successfully. I'm not too picky in terms of microphone quality but it sounded like it would perform just fine in my daily Skype meetings for work. Tested the mute function successfully by using pressing down on the volume dial for the microphone (left ear cup). There's a red LED that comes on at the end of the boom microphone. My next test is to measure how well the wireless signal works as I walk around my home. My Logitech G533s lose signal once I leave my home office and in general cannot tolerate having 1-2 walls in between the headset and the dongle. The Thresher in comparison did not lose signal 30-40 feet away and through 3-4 walls. I haven't tried testing the signal on my 2nd story (my home office is on my 1st floor). It's already performing better than the G533s and my Astro A50 (3rd Generation). Moving beyond 40 feet loses signal and the headset will output 2 beeps if signal has been lost. Overall I'd recommend this headset to others if you can tolerate the high cost. The G533s are about half the cost and work fine as long as you don't lose line of sight from the dongle. Deducting 1 star for the higher cost and lack of Bluetooth and active noise cancelling offered by other headsets.
