Title: Sounds great
Review: Sounds great! The side LEDs arenât very bright even on the brightest setting but thatâs not really a concern for me but it could be for someone else.

Title: THESE HEADPHONES ARE HORRIBLE
Review: First of, Iâve had razer headphones before( kraken v2) and those several year old headphones are way better than these overpriced garbage. They feel cheap and sound cheaper. I get constant static in wireless mode and sometimes sound nor the mic will work in wired mode. For 180 you can definitely find something better out there.

Title: This is by far the best Razer Wireless headset
Review: This wireless headset doesn't even cut out, zero issues, and the battery life is so long that you don't have to worry about it dying on you.The headset comes with a long corded dongle which you put the wireless usb pairing device which is amazing and I feel that this makes the headset the most reliable.This is an absolute must buy. I used to use the Razer Nari Essential. Now I main this headset because it's higher quality.

Title: Bluetooth does not work well
Review: I had to try at least 5 times to connect the Bluetooth to my gaming pc. Razer should work better on Bluetooth connection.

Title: Far less than expected from Razer
Review: The headset audio quality was superb, which for the price point, is to be expected. The cables were long enough to easily support passthrough usage which is a big plus in my book for wireless devices. The weight was not terrible, though a little on the heftier side, though that is mostly due to the on board battery. The mic, however, was utter garbage. After an hour of tweaking settings in synapse and trying to make it work well, the overall sound quality from the V4 was wildly inferior to my original Kraken 7.1 Chroma (assuming they're V1s) wired headset. These were ultimately returned due to them being advertised as a gaming headset, but if your mic is trash, it's useless as a headset. I expected so much better from Razer, especially considering my V1 Kraken headset is still going strong, it just really needs new ear pads as they're worn out after almost 9 years of use.

Title: The hyperspeed stopped working
Review: I love the headphones Iâve had them for a week now the audio is great good bass and treble love the options to either raise or lower voice chat but the hyperspeed is acting up it will work for about 30 minutes then all audio will shut off and the only fix for it is to have someone on call on discord and the have audio constantly playing on the call from their end no other noise fixes it I might send my pair back for a replacement but I might just wait for a driver update to see if that fixes it. Also please add a way to mess with the rgb in Bluetooth mode

Title: Love the versatility of these headphones!
Review: The clarity of the sound is amazing. And I love that I can switch from wireless to wired to Bluetooth. And the different settings if you're hearing music or watching a movie or gaming. These headphones are definitely worth it!

Title: Cheap manufacturing don't buy
Review: I have been using these for a month. The swivel point is plastic and not very thick either. I put them on today and the right one snapped right off at the joint.The return window was closed so I contacted Razer because these have a "12 month warranty" and they said because the plastic broke they won't honor it.They won't honor their own poor workmanship warranty.Poorly made,.cheap plastic for $100... spend your money elsewhere. I do not recommend.

Review: El producto funciona de maravilla al inicio, el audio es superior y la calidad de ensamble y materiales es suprema.Sin embargo, el micrófono que a pesar de tener un sonido increÃble también, dejó de funcionar a los dos meses de uso. Esto debido a que es retráctil y al principio es increÃble la comodidad pero con el uso diario (trabajo home office) se vuelve cada vez mas dificil retraerlo (se pone duro el mecanismo, pues) hasta que basicamente se queda el microfono afuera todo el tiempo.Me harté hasta meterlo a la fuerza y algo se rompió y ya no sirve más.Ni hablar, un genial producto con un mecanismo retráctil pésimo.PD el boton de MUTE no sirve a veces y eso es super peligroso para los que lo usamos para llamadas. De hecho dejé de confiiar en el a los dos dÃas después de eructar en una reunión de la empresa enfrente de todos.

Review: Very comfortable to wear for longer periods of time, good battery life and the sound quality is great. For the price it is worth it. The built in EQ sliders in the Razer synapse app add a good touch of customization for someone who cares a lot about the specifics of the audio.
