  Good headset but take care.

  by Katan_Lorilie on September 19, 2008

  Pros: Fantastic Design, mic is better than Barracuda.
  Long cord, the clothes clip is handy, and no drivers to install.
  There is also the undeniable cool factor you get when you turn on the blue LED lights.

  Cons: Careful to get the right one that fits your head. Might have to buy online
  Sound quality is no where near that of the Barracuda.
  Comfort level may deteriorate over the duration of wear. But make sure you have
  the right size.

  Summary: If you are a casual gamer, a few sessions of Counterstrike here, a couple of Unreal Tournaments there, this should be the perfect thing for you. However, if you are going to be using them for long gaming sessions, like MMORPG's or lan party marathons, I would wait a little bit and get the Razer Megalodon as it will be the microphone from this headset and the sound quality and comfort from the Barracuda, so it will be the best of both worlds. Not to mention a far more intuitive system that will allow you to know when the microphone is on mute.

  Summary: A very good headset, well deserving of what I've heard of the Razer name. While I haven't had the opportunity to test it with gaming, music and videos sound very lively and vibrant, and very close to life-like. They are also quite powerful, and you're able to take them up to where it's clear even if you're about 5 feet away from the headphones without any distortion. The microphone is very clear too, although I don't know how much it noise cancels, as I'm usually in quieter environments. There are only two gripes I have with it: one, that it isn't a USB headset, despite the USB connector; and two: failing the first one, that the USB connector doesn't power the microphone either. The USB cable is simply for power to the LEDs in the headphone earpieces and on the volume control. As I found out when the microphone wouldn't work with my Mac, then figured out that the line-in port is just that: it's not a microphone port, so it's not powered. If you have a port specifically for a microphone however, I have nothing against the top-notch performance of this headset and would recommend it someone in a heartbeat. Very comfortable too!
