I own these. Buy something else. They work ok if you don't mind frequent signal disconnect beeps even tho they are working fine. My wife has razer kraken headphones and they are way more comfortable. These are also very hot on your ears. You know when you buy something and it works but has small problems that irritate you more the longer you own them. That's these headphones
I bought this headset a while ago and while there are issues with the mic that have been reported. Mine works just fine.

Might be usual Razer quality control stuff.

Anyhow, at <60 dollars, wireless, brand name, headset otherwise, I think is a good deal.

My daughter uses these and prefers it over logitech 933's and 633 that she has.

At this price and personal use being good, I'm replacing my other kids 933's with this one.

I've had too many problems with the 933's with cut outs and driver problems.
Yeah, that's a minus for sure, that being said, expected with this model as it hasn't been updated for a couple years.

Personally, half my stuff is micro usb and other half is usb c, so I don't necessarily find this to be a big deal yet, but if it was the only peripheral I had like that, would be very annoying.

I'm not trying to put lipstick on a pig but I bought the 933s at 66 dollars new, and these have been better for me.

This is razer, so most of you kind of know that their quality control isn't as good as other brands. But while the rate of defective product might be very low its higher than others and each negative reviews show increased issues.

That being said, this is a 55 dollar gaming headset that is wireless. If you have a comparable wireless product, please share.

Most of the Christmas and bf deals drop the lower end market into the 50-70 dollar range when on sale . Like the lower end corsairs, Logitechs, Sony brand, etc.

If you can wait, there are other options.

My only problem with this headset is that volume is really low , for some reason you have to crank up the volume to listen clearly

This is a nice headset generally. I've had it for about a year now.

About 2 months ago the left ear cup stopped working, though would work again for a few minutes if I 'smacked it'. I filed an RMA and it was a pain in the entire body. I would get the weirdest questions about Windows Updates, did I drop it, water damage, etc. I had to tell them at least a couple of times that I was on a Mac (which is true since i would mostly use it on the Mac and the issue happened on both Mac and Windows). I once called to try to make the process faster and was told I have to do emails and they can't do anything on the phone.

Anyways eventually they did the RMA and sent me a brand new one and a shipping label. Unfortunately I had to send mine back before they would send me one so I was without a headset for a week or so.

Still would highly recommend.

TRASH!!!!!

Bought one for pc and an Xbox version. both had mic issues and even had then exchanged through amazon and the replacements were just as bad.

The Xbox version seems to have a extremely weak mic so people can barely hear you and the PC version has a horrible echo.

wasted days with razor support just to do a exchange via amazon at the end which ultimately also ended with me returning them all.

Got a Plantronics Rig 800 and couldn't be happier.

Unless you are a 4 yr old, inserting a Micro USB cable into a headphone should be a NON issue when charging. Yes, i know the USB C offers faster charging.

I buy headphones for their sound quality, not for the charging cable. I own several wireless headsets. I'm a bit of an addict. This one sucks. Not hyperbole. Low volume, bass sounds like a wet fart and gets terribly distorted. Kids might like it, if they don't know better or have nothing else to compare it to. When I bought, it took me 10 minutes to decide I was not keeping it. That being said, they are also stupid big and uncomfortable. I really can't think of any reason why people would keep these trash cans.

I get it.

I have Steelseries wireless pros.

Here is an objective table:
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tools/table

sort for wireless gaming.

Now, if you can find any headset above nari ultrimate, which is at 7.1 that is priced at less than 60 dollars, have at it.

As they say, you get what you pay for. I can't compare this 300+ dollar retail headset to this one obviously.
I'm 100% sure you can find WIRED headsets that are better in general at this price point, but wireless is a bit harder find.

Anyhow, more objective data for other people to decide.

Honestly with something like this, I would get a magnetic charging adapter since you will be near a USB power outlet at your desk anyways. Makes it much easier to charge and it wont matter if you have micro vs USB-C

Don't bother with this. Too many QC issues. Returned mine to Amazon already. Nothing is more annoying than DC during a match and your audio goes out.

Problem with 933 is the super short battery life. I settled for 733 at the end.

It's about having to keep one cable instead of two by my computer desk to charge the headset, phone or my switch. It's a first world problem.
