Headphones are absolutely amazing….it’s lacks bass but other than that it’s really good. Connection issues are there when you connect to Bluetooth and the dongle at the same time, it gives preference to the Bluetooth but it’s nothing major you can simply disconnect the Bluetooth. Volume is really good , I keep it at 50% and it’s enough for everything. Battery is also really good , I have been using it for over a week without charging. Build quality is also very good. Microphone is really really good , i play a lot of games and it practically doesn’t pick any background noise , only what I m saying goes through. Although I will say it’s not worth 12k rupees. I got it for 4.5k rupees and it’s absolutely worth it at that price . Sony wh-xb910n is still best if you have 10k rupees. Totally worth it if you get it on an offer or something .

Been using these for a month now.
Pros: 1) very comfortable, even for extended prolonged use. Not heavy on the head/neck. No pressure on the ears.. 2) good battery life. It helps to have a headset that you don’t have to charge daily. It also turns itself off to save battery in case not paired which is a standard function but helps to prolong already long battery time. 3) quality of accessories and cables received is quite good. 4) decent sound quality and noise cancelling mic.. Although not 100% like a Jabra but the mic does a decent job of ensuring my voice is highlighted against background noise.
Cons: 1) takes too long to full charge. I have to keep it overnight sometimes. When battery is low, it keeps interrupting with ‘low battery please charge’ message repeatedly even when I’m on a call. 2) dual connectivity was my main reason to purchase this.. I wanted a headset to take office calls from both my Laptop via dongle and also via Bluetooth on my cell, having a function to seamlessly switch back & forth between 2 devices. Problem faced is that when connected to laptop via dongle on teams/zoom call, if I get a voice call on cell which I answer by bluetooth, the headset switches to call on cell correctly instead of having both audios coming in.. However after my cell call is done, headset does not automatically pair back to the laptop via dongle.. I have to restart the headset to repair with laptop and resume Teams/zoom call. This is a big issue that needs fixing..

If you are planning to buy for PS5 or Xbox this review is for you. I bought this and checked with my PS5 and the audio is too low for the volume. I’ve set max in Barracuda and in the console it was 100% and many of them would think it’d blow the ear drum but it doesn’t. It feels like the vol is set at 50-60%. Also tried with the Razer audio app, it didn’t improve much when it comes to wireless connectivity. Even when I connected with 3.5mm, the vol was increased a bit where I have to reduce the console volume to 90-95%. I agree it’s improved but it’s not the max volume that it should have been. Coming to the Bluetooth part, it works well and with the volume of 35-40% (except OnePlus where I’ve to keep 75-80% for normal use. Not sure who is fault here OnePlus or Razer whereas other Bluetooth headphones works properly) was sufficient for normal indoors and increasing it above 85-90% causes fatigue. I expect the same or at least not too much extreme lime fatigue in the console which is via Wireless connectivity. Looks like wireless drivers are poor compared to Bluetooth. Do not buy this if you’re planning to get for multiplatform. If you’re a lover of this brand, get a wired headset for your console and luckily if you’ve a 3.5mm for your phone, it suits well.

Funktioniert an sich wie es soll, jedoch gibt es leider keine Software für den PC um den Equalizer oder andere Sachen am Headset einzustellen. Dies muss man alles über eine App auf dem Handy machen. Teilweise gibt es Verbindungsprobleme mit dem 2.4Ghz empfänger und dem umschalten zwischen 2.4Ghz und Bleutooth, diese Probleme treten jedoch selten aus und lassen sich mühelos umgehen bzw in kürzester Zeit beheben. Für den Preis muss dies natürlich trotzdem nicht sein. Soundqualität ist top und das Mikrofon für ein Headset auch sehr gut. Jedoch leidet die Mikro Qualität extremst in Discord anrufen. Ich kann mir nicht erklären warum dies so ist, da normale Tonaufnahmen super klingen und ich auch keine Qualitätsmängel feststelle, wenn ich mich auf Discord selber anrufe. Die Probleme treten nur bei Anrufen auf, die das eigene Heimnetzwerk verlassen, also vermute ich, dass das Problem bei Discord und nicht dem Headset liegt.

Tengo unos cuantos headset en mi casa. Y sinceramente andaba buscando algo para reemplazar uno de los setups que venía usando (AKG K701s + ModMic Wireless). Y básicamente si lo comparo con este setup, he pasado de tener sonido Hi-Fi con cables, a tener sonido de calidad buena sin ningún cableado.
Ventajas:
1) 2.4Ghz Wireless (latencia baja, tipo 15ms. porque los Bluetooth tienen mucha latencia salvo que la calidad se degrade muchísimo y se escuche todo “feo” ) es prácticamente como usar cable.
2) Micrófono ajustable y a 2 o 3 cm de distancia de la boca. Puedes tener ruido de fondo pero si estás hablando te siguen escuchando bastante claro ya que el micrófono se encuentra cerca. Además es desmontable.
3) Como 40 o 50 horas de batería (y se apagan solos si no se están usando por un tiempo. Se puede cambiar el tiempo de apagado por inactividad, yo le he puesto 5 minutos).
4) Muy livianos y cómodos (para lo que son).
5) Buena calidad música. 8/10. (10/10 sería algo Hi-Fi con cable, amplificador, open-back, etc.).
6) No parecen ser muy cerrados. (prácticamente no incrementan la percepción de uno en escuchar su propia respiración) y esto es muy bueno.
7) Para ser cascos Gamer son bastantes discretos. Se pueden comparar con unos Bose o Sony negros de tamaño similar.
Desventajas:
– La única desventaja es que para mi siguen siendo mas grandes de lo que andaba buscando, me hubiesen gustado unos headset que tengan el tamaño de los Jabra Elite 75, pero que tengan la baja latencia (en duplex) y calidad de estos Razer.
Uso: Interior solamente; Música, Microsoft Teams, Gaming, Discord.
Tip adicional: descargar el app “Razer Audio” en el movil y ajustar el EQ para que suenen mejor. Yo estoy usando este ajuste de “GadgetryTech” y suenan muy bien:
Articulo con buena calidad de audio, bien empacado y con todos los cables que necesites para conectar. La carga de este dispositivo es increíble, 3 días de uso y sigue al 50%.
La cuerina que tiene en la parte de arriba de las diademas se despega con facilidad, por lo que hay que pegarlo luego.

The headphone is fantastic. Works really well with the free 7.1 surround sound software from Razer. At 1st you might think the volume is low but if you connect the 7.1 surround software and change the sound device to 7.1 then 50% volume would be enough. I use 7.1 for music & movies & the typical profile for games as FPS footsteps are messed up on 7.1 What’s the but about? I got a defective extender cable and I figured that out through a day of testing but when I contacted Amazon & Razer after 7 days for RMA they said to contact each other & that loop never ended. Razer should improve its RMA in India. Now I have only one option which is to connect the dongle to the PC directly. If the headphone is not defective on delivery then it’s really good value for money for 9k. Hope it was helpful.

Sowohl für Telefonkonferenzen als auch beim Fernsehen gut zu verwenden. Für mich ist es noch ungewohnt, dass die Geräuschdämmung am Hörer auch das eigene Gespräch bei Konferenzen quasi komplett ausblendet – wenn die Software da keine Einblendung macht, der Hörer macht keine … Beim Fernsehen auch sehr angenehm zu tragen (nur zum Hören), allerdings könnte insgesamt die Lautstärke lauter sein. Sonst sehr gut verarbeitet und durchdacht konzipiert.

This is the 2022 model with Bluetooth function added and nothing much compared to previous gen. which is 8k. Amazon’s retail is 13k however it’s the same 2022 model is available on offline market for 10k. Hope this helps someone.
