STREAM AND GAME REACTIVE LIGHTING — Amp it up with lighting that not only works with Chroma-integrated games, but responds to stream events such as emotes, alerts, and more

Title: Expensive but good gaming mic for beginners. A must if you already have a Razer setup!
Review: I got this mic to use mostly for gaming because I don't do podcasts or any voice recordings. My gaming desktop setup is also all Razer so this was a no brainer.The mic comes with a stand and power cable. It's enough to get you started but I would recommend a mic arm so you can free up your desk space. The packaging and build quality is excellent which is typical of Razer. You can use this without the Razer synapse software. But to take advantage of it, you'll want to use it. Once plugged in, the synapse software automatically detected it and started to install it. Once installed, I could fine tune the settings and RGB lights to match the rest of my Razer gear. I left the audio settings on default and played Call of Duty. I told everyone on my team that I had a new mic and everyone commented that I sounded crystal clear. I'm pretty sure you can use this to do voice recordings for podcast or youtube video narration etc, but I don't do those. My main concern was that I sounded clear gaming online and the mic matched my setup. It checks both boxes for me.Overall, for $129.99 it is expensive. There's cheaper alternatives out there if you're not in the Razer environment and will probably have the same sound quality. However, if you're a Razer fan and want a nice mic, I would highly recommend this mic. 5 stars!

Title: AWESOME AND WORKS GREAT. Definite must for a razor gaming setup
Review: This was a must for my gaming setup because the color will actually match with keyboard and mouse RGB lights. This is really well made and sturdy. You do not have to worry about this breaking down or falling over. It is plugged in via USB and does require the razor application in order to sync or customize the colors. The dark color is nice and matches my razor keyboard/mouse but it is easy to see finger marks on the material. It is easy to wipe and clean. The mesh is very sturdy and blocks most of the ambient noise while also picking up my voice, It is great for twitch streams, discord voice chats, and some recording. I actually love using this when playing games and chatting with my friends. The device sensitivity can be adjusted accordingly depending on the application. It will default to just RGB colors when first plugged in. You can customize it on the application once you have it installed. You have a simple button control on the device itself. The microphone is not too large or heavy. I do want to try to attach it to a microphone arm in the future but I am not sure which one will work for this. It is not provided. The stand itself does not take up too much desk space and you get a decent cable length so you can move it around as needed. You can replace the cable if you want something shorter or longer. You get some adjust it a little bit. There is some grip on the bottom so you do not have to worry about it sliding too much. You can adjust it accordingly. The RGB colors definitely are a nice touch and mix well all my other razor accessories. That being said, it can be turned off and on with the button on the bottom. It does default to turning it on right away. It does use usb to plug in. The cord also is prone to getting dirty but it is more durable than other cables. You can easily mute the device as well by just tapping the top which is a nice extra feature. My voice goes through pretty clear and I do not have to be too close to the microphone. Other than that this this usb gaming microphone is great to have if you do not want to wear headphones. The microphone will pick up the sound from the system depending on volume so make sure you adjust the sensitivity. Overall this is a great microphone to have. It has simple controls and picks up my voice clearly while also drowning out the rest of the sound. The application is very easy to use and syncs all my razor device RGB colors so I do not have different color devices unless I want to.

Title: Worthless
Review: Bought this from razer hopping it would be good quality but anytime it has sound playing it cuts on and off on and off on and off like im on a low signal and ive tried this with mutiple apps to see and its just this garbage product. Would not buy better off with a headset mic.

Title: Stylish and durable, but lacks some features
Review: I took a very long time before putting in this review. After careful consideration and months of use, here is my verdict: 4 out of 5 stars. Overall, I expected slightly more from a top brand at this price.Pluses:- Stylish in every inch: solid black coating that doesn't wear off after months of use in different environments.- It still works and works fine, so it's solid and durable.- I use it a lot, and I like it, especially for its cozy sound. It's great for recording voiceovers for my wife's videos and her streams, and I've used it for several of my videos too.- It records clean sound. The noise cancellation works fine with its own characteristics but is overall good for many cases.- It's mostly a perfect microphone for gaming and podcasts, maybe not so good for the cleanest voice for specific needs like AI training.- The Razor Synapse center allows a lot of configurations, especially around lighting effects and basic sound settings like high filter and volume.- It works fine with mobile setups, including voice recording on mobile. For long tasks, you might need a splitter for power input for the phone.Minuses:- There aren't a lot of configurations, especially around noise cancellation (I really wish I could fine-tune it). In cases when you can do post-processing, it's not an issue, but for live streams, it's sometimes weird.- The Razor application is nice but quite heavy. Sometimes it eats up a good amount of resources, even on top-notch laptops, not to mention netbooks.- The lighting settings are app-specific. When you connect it to another device, you immediately lose them. It's not a big minus, but you can't set them up on mobile and need to use the standard settings.- I've had several instances where the mic was connected to a dock station via USB 3, and the dock station was USB-C Thunderbolted to the laptop. For some reason, there's a lot of interference in the sound. I have to connect the mic directly to the laptop. I'd expect some warning in the Razor app in that case, not just broken sound.Overall, it's a nice mic, good looking, but in functionality, it could provide more at this price range.
