Cacharias: I would like to add my two cents to this headset. I have been using it for a year now. I would say soundwise I differ a bit from the above opinion. Its pretty bassy. Normal game volume is ok but then on explosions or sniper firing my head wants to fall off. I need to turn it down after a while, impacting locating enemies and other details. I would say its sound signature is very laid back. While never harsh or grating in any way, its also just not very fast. All in all its a better that average sound quality, but really nothing to write home about. Nowhere near my (hate on headsets all you want but good engineering works) mmx300. Even my Sennheiser PX 100 II are better. Not as much bass of course, but cleaner bass.
The mic recording quality is on par with: Others hear what words I am saying, but that is about it.
I'm no believer in breaking in headphones, I admit this. But... My first impression was when I got them that they sound muffled and veiled very much. I came to the Razers from using AKG closed k518's with a velcro mic mod for gaming.
After half a year they sounded pretty good. After a week with the new Beyers I retried the Razer and it sounds... ok. Very strange things going on here.
I did always have deal breaker problems with it, as stated in the cons.
Pro: Comfort is very good. No pressure and soft clamping. Cord is great. It looks very nice.
Cons:
- Adjusts itself all 20 minutes so I need to push back up the cans so they again fit my ears. Very annoying. Gravity owns these headphones.
- Sound bleeds into the mic like crazy, beginning at much lower than average game volume. And I mean low volume, as in I can hear my own gun but thats about it. Footsteps? Not hearable. Constantly people on teamspeak are telling me I am echoing like crazy. I do a lot of shoutcasting and there its a total deal breaker, but I just turn the sound so low it doesn't happen. But at every beginning of the shoutcasts my co host always tells me I'm echoing.
Personal con: Open headphones don't work for me, I thought they would but when my SO is watching tv, talking on the phone it all distracts me. (edit: in gaming)
Summary: worth 50 dollars tops is my personal opinion, and one would still be paying for mostly the design.. My 5 dollar cheapo headset in the office has a better case isolated mic. I am keeping it instead of selling it because it looks pretty neat for the office. But this isn't a final descision.
