This is the most comfortable computer headset I have ever worn! I've been using this headset for over 8 months now and it is without a doubt the best gaming purchase I have ever made. Razer went above and beyond with the design here, and similarities to military aviation headsets, such as those manufactured by David-Clark and Bose are evident here. The light weight, padded headband, deep ear cups and oversized padding on the ear seals ensure that this headset is the last thing you're going to notice after a 5 or 6 hour gaming session.
Before I got this headset, I was using a Creative Soundblaster Tactic3D Wireless Headset. While that headset itself was a phenominal headset in both construction and sound quality, my primary gripe with it is that there wasn't much padding on the ear cups, so the headset would be constantly pressing on my ears. Since I play EVE Online, it's not uncommon for us to have 4 or 5 hour long fleet fights where everyone needs to be on comms. After just a few hours, I would welcome any break just to take off that headset and get the pain off my ears.
The one thing that surprised me is the lack of branding on these. The only thing that identifies this as a Razer product is a tiny Razer logo on the headband adjustment knobs. I get a lot of people asking me what kind of headphones these are, given the resemblence to the David-Clark H10-76 headset that I use with my job as an avionics technician.
Pros:
- Very comforable
- Solid construction
- Fully adjustable
- Good sound quality and bass response
- Microphone can be quickly removed and installed
Cons:
- Still looking for something that actually qualifies as a solid con here...
Other thoughts:
I use this headset with my phone to make Facebook Messenger calls with my wife while I'm deployed. Plugs right into my phone and laptop to enable full two-way communication without any issues. You'll need to use the included adapter to plug it into computers that have separate microphone and speaker jacks. Since the adapter isn't very long, you may want to consider getting a 3.5mm M-F extension cable or two depending on how you have your computer set up. I've noticed some buzzing in the headset when I have this plugged into my desktop, but this is due to how my audio and mic cables are routed in close proximity to power cables within my desktop case, not the headset itself. I don't get any of that same noise when I'm using it with my phone, laptop or other desktops.
