    I got this headset to hold me off while I save up for a nicer one, but it was better than I expected. It’s comfortable and high quality.

    This is probably the best headset I've ever owned, and at only 60$ a great value for a gaming headset the sound quality is spectacular compared to my stock speakers on my laptop I have yet to use the mic but if the sound quality is any indicator that should also be a good quality mic. Also I liked the fact it does have led lighting on the side but unable to customize lights which is ok for the price of this set. I would highly recommend this if you are wanting to upgrade to a higher quality for sound and recording games as it is comfortable to wear and gives a great experience with surround sound.

    This is a nice headset for the price. If you want a wired option, you can't do much better in 2016 than this. The sound is excellent, as is the mic pic up. The USB connection makes setup a breeze. It's plug and play ready out of the box. The only minor quibbles are that the cord should be a bit longer and that the ear cups should be a little bigger. All in all, a great wired headset!

    Amazing headset for gaming. I try to stay with the Razr brand for most gaming purchases as it is exceptionally durable and high quality. It has sound quality that can fully immerse you into whatever you are using it for. My only complaint an reason for 4 stars is that since it fully covers the ears in an emergency you will not be able to hear anyone yelling for you.

    For a set of headphones less then 60 dollars they sound pretty good. Pretty neutral sound profile and 30mm drivers are down side, but then if you wanted the 40MM and a more low bass profile then you can purchase the pro version. Has nice comfort for long gaming sessions, and I have a big head. Love that it is USB, but hate the Razer Synapse to configure the headphones.

    My son has been going through headphones like there is no tomorrow. We bought these to replace his last set, only about 8 months old. The build quality seems to be fairly substantial and the sound quality is very good. I see no reason to spend more than we did for a set of gaming headphones. Microphone is very responsive as well.

    I bought this headset to use with my iMac desktop computer and it works great. I use it for gaming and for work. It works well with everything I've tried so far including Skype, Lync, Go To Meeting, and QuickTime. I like that the micro phone extents and retracts and the sound quality is really good.

    After having the headset on for a while, it hurts the ears and head from the constant pressure it applies. Good sound quality and the adjustable mic is nice.

    I debated for quite a while on purchasing a new headset and had been holding off due to their cost, so when this headset went on sale I decided to give them a shot. I have not been disappointed in the least. The sound quality and surround calibration are very good which made them a great value. The earpiece material is a soft leatherette and is very comfortable, however, the one con I have found is that the recesses are not very deep and my ears begin to get sore after an extended gaming session. By the time that occurs, though, its' usually time for me to get up and do something constructive. I would have no qualms about making this purchase again.

    The sound quality is very good and it is comfortable to wear. the only thing I miss on it is a volume control, but it's not a big deal since you can control the volume with the settings in games or other media. It just makes it a little inconvenient. This is the analog model and not the digital. I believe the digital has a volume control and it is also 1/3 higher in price.

    My Granddaughter plays some online games with her friends and she thinks this set up is great. The only problem is that when she has the headphones on, she cannot hear me. (Or as she says.)

    These headphones are totally worth the price. Not too spendy and not too cheap. As someone who wears glasses, the fit over the ear and do not cause any undue irritation to my ears where the bows of my glasses sit.

    Bought these for my teenage daughter. She tends to be rough on earwear. This headset is durable and gives her good quality sound. Plus she likes how they look.

    This headset is very comfortable (even with glasses) and has great sound output quality, but the microphone capture quality is quite poor for the price.

    Very nice mid level price head set. The soft ear cups make it very comfortable for long gaming sessions. The sound quality is very nice. I would definitely recommend.

    I was received these as a Valentines Day gift and liked the look of them right away. When I plugged them in to my Mac I was disappointed with the way i was heard on vent with them. When I plugged them into my new gaming PC they seemed to work better and others could hear me much clearer. However these headphones do Not have a volume control on them and that is a huge disappointment. That being said they are quite comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

    The sound is outstanding and it sits very comfortably on my head. Previous reviews helped me choose this headset without being able to try it out in the store. Very happy with the purchase.

    Works well, bought as a replacement for my defective kraken headset and it works just as great! Surround sound sounds well compared to the headsets that cost $100. Great on price and great on quality.
