These sound better than anything i’ve ever bought from Razer.
Find the Razer headset you like best and then buy these. I say that specifically and somewhat jokingly because i recently tried the Kraken TE headset and it just sounded so awful that without even waiting for it to be returned, i purchased these and plugged it directly into the Razer USB sound device that comes with the Kraken. The little dongle with the THX/volume/mix controls, you know. With these plugged into it, all the features that were unrecognizable in the Kraken headset suddenly came to life and worked more like they’re described. LOL. it surprised me, but i’m not joking at all. As for the way they sound, they’re nothing special. That says more about the Razer Kraken TE than it does these really. They fall apart a little bit at the low end. distort, when they’re turned up pretty loud. which is typical. because of my hardware, i couldn’t use the microphone unless i used a headphone splitter or this Razer device and i think it did affect the audio slightly, but they sounded way better than the Krakens in both plugs. I still have the Krakens and i tested them in it to see if i’d get lucky twice and it wasn’t going to cooperate further. You really can’t go wrong. They compete with everything in the price range pretty well, except for a couple things you might not like: the 3.5mm plug standard is “the one with THREE black line thingies” so most pc computers will need a splitter if i’m not mistaken. think it’s set up for the mobiles. otherwise, i couldn’t get the mic to show up. so buy a splitter if you need it. 4 pole female to dual 3 pole males. roger that? you can’t go wrong for the price and i guess you can game on your phone or some crap? with a mic? are there games that have open mic chat like the pc on mobile? i have no idea. this was just an experiment for me. the microphone, when it was working through the splitter had a little bit of garbage noise in the signal, but when i plugged these into that razer dongle i mentioned the microphone sounded basically perfect? you get a very tiny amount of pop sometimes cause it’s raw dog, but it actually sounds freakin’ great. better than most gaming headsets for pc easily. which is funny. i’m serious too. its a great mic, i kind of wish i had a headset that was native to two male 3pole ends just like this one. i’d call that a great gaming headset. as good as or better than anything that i am aware of up to 60 dollars with the mic working normally. if you’re using something that accepts the 4pole plug natively, you’re probably not going to find much better than this. unless you’re already set up to use an IEM, then i don’t even know what you’re doing here. you’re addicted. get some help.

Complete Junk
I have two pairs of these (one for me and one for my housemate). They are precisely the same.First, the microphone is VERY loose. Like, you can knock it out of the socket with an aggressive whip of the head. Furthermore, don’t bother trying to replace it, because I tried two others and they fit the same and didn’t work and it’s hard to fit a replacement since there is a small recess that most options don’t fit into.Second, the sound quality is terrible. It’s “fine” at moderate to low volume, if a little anemic. However, at anything approaching medium loud to loud, they distort heavily and are absolutely unlistenable. Any significant bass breaks up and crackles and it’s clear continued use will blow out the drivers.Finally, you can’t fit any aftermarket tips on these. Everything just pops off. So, don’t bother trying to get foam tips or other better isolating solutions. They won’t fit. Even if they fit on the buds, they will not hold and will stay in your ear when you remove the buds.Find a different solution. These are like 10x the cost they should be given the quality and other options out there.

I bought this for the detachable boom microphone only which rtings.com reviewed this unit pretty well.I was after a really clear microphone that was very portable and this was among the top of the list, at a reasonable price.The boom microphone will not disappoint you. Sure it might stand out on a call, but you are serious about being heard, aren’t you?I couldn’t believe how good it was for doing next to nothing. There can be an ever so slight hiss on the mic reported by some which you could only pick up on if you were really looking for it.Mostly my voice is the brightest and clearest on most of the calls I’m on, which I was after, and for the odd explanation via video recording on teh go. I can set it high enough that it doesn’t pick up my keyboard or clicking or a laptop fan nearby. This is light and serviceable enough to put in my bag as a backup or primary when bluetooth might be flaky, or batteries run out. The carrying bag with it is handy to not lose the parts as it stores better with the boom mic attached.If I was giving a presentation on a teams/zoom call, I would probably pick this up first knowing how good it was right away without any adjustment or software overhead required.The audio quality for listening is decent, but not great as expected, and maybe more appealing to gamers, but for me I just needed clear audio on calls and recording. If you do find the higher frequencies a little too sharp in your ears (which I did), it is easy enough to find an EQ program for your computer or device that you can tamp down those values. I don’t blast things that high.

The product is very good with crystal clear sound quality.
