  Fits my Desktop+Phone use-case perfectly

  There are two things that I didn't see mentioned in the product description that are good to know:-When powered on, it maintains an active Bluetooth connection, even when using 2.4-Like a lot of Razer's revenge Bluetooth audio devices, this has a low-latency gaming mode. Discovered this in the user manual.I'll start off by saying that getting this device it's initial update was a huge hassle, but things have been smooth sailing since. Just try to follow the updater's directions as precisely as possible, it should work.The build quality is the weakest point as the exterior is primarily plastic. This is overshadowed by comfort, however, and the cushions feel soft and light.If you're looking for audio fidelity, I really hope you know you're in the wrong place. While I wouldn't say the fidelity is bad, I wouldn't say that's where these excel. Instead, features and function are what these do best.The directional audio is done very well, while the audio modes (ANC and Ambient) do what they say very well. I have 5 cats that tend to get into nonsense, and the ambient mode has allowed me to pay them proper attention while gaming. On the off chance I can zone in, the ANC completely cuts out fan noises and even most of whatever my partner is watching. Switching is simple and the headphones tell you what you just switched to. I almost wish I could completely skip ANC off since I never use it.The most surprising thing about these is how perfectly they fit my lifestyle. I don't always want to be at my desk to game, so I stream to my phone (bonus points for using Razer Kishi). The fact that I can just double tap the mode button and I'm now listening to my phone is awesome. No need to wait for pairing, and I've yet to have any connection issues. Mix in the gaming mode and suddenly these are the only headphones I use, period.Tl;dr: these headphones are all about the features, so make sure that's what is driving your choice before buying these. The features are extremely good, while the audio and build quality can feel middling.Ver másVer menos

  Great headset

  after my 3rd logitech headset going kaput, I wanted to try another headset and stick to the "gaming" aspect as I do enjoy the faux-surround. giving razer a shot, again, I do not regret this purchase.i use "movie" mode for games and it sounds very good. spatial awareness is precise, and I feel the THX spatial sound is a bit more "exact" and specific with its environmental sounds compared to using the DTS Headphone X: 2.0 which I find to be a good thing for what I play (Bf4, Bf1, R6, Battlefront 2).I have never had an issue with razer synapse in the past, so all the gripe people have with it I do not understand since I have had no issues with with my other razer peripherals. synapse gives lots of customization to make your sound profile fit what you like. bass boost, ANC, mic adjustments, and EQ are just a few things.battery life has been great. better than logitechs (12hrs is such crap). charging is fast as well - it was at 76% when I had first received the headset, and charging took less than 15 mins.the mic is standard - nothing special - it's enough to let the team, person, etc hear you and know what you are saying but that's it. it is nothing to drive home about.comfort is great - i havent had to take them off once during game sessions and they fit snug which i really enjoy. they dont feel like theyll fall off.the build quality is so-so - being that the headset is primarily plastic it does give it a cheap look and feel, but a heavier headset is not the smartest thing if you want to be comfortable in them, at least for me anyways. the band is at least metal when adjusting, so hooray for that.the switch button between Bluetooth and 2.4ghz is awesome. i use it all the time to play mobile games and my pc games. i really enjoy that i can use this headset with nearly everything i own without having to switch headsets constantly. super convenient.the carrying case is awesome! super nice and travel friendly. really like how that is included.all in all this headset, albeit i do feel the price should be maybe 50 or so dollars less, is worth the investment. for me, it's worth it as i can swap between mobile and PC without changing headsets and answer calls of course. the sound is great and very spacious. even if the headset may feel cheap, when using them you will think otherwise. if you need a new headset i do recommend these for both gaming and casual use.

  Amazing headphones!

  So, this review was made a while ago, like 3 months into using them. After I made the review, they started to crack around the hinges, and eventually the left headphone broke off at the hinge, and was hanging by a cord. Luckily, I got them replaced (good warranty), however, the replacement pair also broke in the same exact way. I'm not particularly rough with my headphones, and these are the only pair I've ever had this issue with. So, long story short, don't buy these.These headphones are overall amazing! I'll cut right to the chase with my favorite things about them.The smartswitch feature, where you can connect to two devices at once, is awesome! I love how even if you're connected to your PC with the USB-C dongle, if your phone gets a call you hear your ringtone. On the topic of smartswitch, I love how this works on gaming as well as with music. The synapse software is great because I like pumping up the bass when I listen to music, and I can do that with the software. On my phone, the Razer Audio app is also great for this. The headphones have pretty great bass that you can really feel.These headphones are also very comfortable. The earpads are very soft, and the headband is too. And the battery life is awesome. I can go days without having to give these a charge, and they seem to charge pretty fast. On that note, I'll move on to what's not so great about these.The case is huge. Since these headphones don't fold, they have to lay flat in the case, which makes for a huge case. The case is hard to fit in my backpack for when I want to take these to school, so I usually just settle for my earbuds, even though I'd love to take my headphones. Also, the headphones may be comfortable, but after a while, I've noticed them starting to hurt my ears, especially when they move or I take them off. It's not pleasant. But after a while of having them, I don't notice that as much. And yes, the bass is great - I can really feel it - but it kind of distorts the vocals in my music. It just makes it sound a bit staticky. And for my final con, I don't like how if I wear a hoodie, coat, or I'm just lying down, the volume wheel gets caught and my volume gets turned up or down.Now, in all, I believe the pros really outweigh the cons. The case may be huge, but I don't really use it that much. My ears don't hurt anymore. I can get used to the volume slider issue. My biggest issue is just the vocal distortion when the bass is up.If you're looking for a headset that you can game with and just use casually, this is the one to go for.

  Great headphones, but too easy to break.

  Been exactly one year since I bought these. They’re definitely the most comfortable headphones i’ve ever purchased the noise cancellation and volume control is amazing. It’s pretty easy to use and I totally recommend. But I’m disappointed how easy they are to break, for the money you have to spend you’d think the headphone’s quality of material would be better instead of just a bunch of plastic. If you have the money these Id say these headphones are worth it just be careful with them because the plastic isn’t the strongest.Ver másVer menos

  LOVE this headset!

  Coming from the Razer Nari Ultimate, this headset is like a feather on top of your head. I like the Razer app for PC and the sound these headsets put out. I tried the Logitech X pro 2 wireless. For the price of that headset I was able to get a new keyboard and a Barracuda headset. I'm glad i made the return. GHUB got nothin' on Synapse. I also tried the Atlas Air by Turtle Beach, great headset, just not for me. You really cant go wrong with this headset, especially if you have a smaller head (skinny and long face). I literally just put this headset on my head, no adjustments for bigger setting, it cant get any smaller, honestly wish it could hah. But it sounds great and love the no mic build, I rarely used it anyway. Still looking for a future replacement Earpads for it but as of now it doesnt need it, they are way more comfortable than the Logitech Pros, its like a combo of the leather and the breathable earpads combined. No GHUB, or connection issues, PERFECT!! They are so comfortable!!!Ver másVer menos

  Too many caveats to recommend

  Initially these are great headphones- comfortable, and good sound quality. After wearing these for 10 minutes in room temperature, your ears will feel like damp socks, and Im not one to sweat. The ANC is great but with the PS5 and dongle, it butchers the sound quality where its totally useless. Its surprising this isnt brought up more which shows most people use these on PC with the dongle, which Im sure the sound is fine with ANC and the dongle, but its advertised to work with the PS5 as well, and the sound becomes 1985 level, its terrible. Bluetooth is great and low latency, but its a pain to get the "gaming" mode on them as you have to press the button 3 times and "hold" the button the last time- just add another BT button cheap Razer. I ended up replacing these with Bose wireless and just use the analog for gaming- better comfort, ANC, sound, and build quality. If you're looking at more gaming headset- look at the Nova Pro Wireless or Turtle Beach Stealth Pros.Ver másVer menos
