Razer Carcharias Headset Review

So in retrospect I’ll look at the Razer Carcharias one more time in a gamers mind et, in this I will also grade it.

The thing that puzzled me is: if this is supposed to be a game’rs headset, then why did they opt for a open design?  A closed headset will provide natural noise reduction and won’t give off as much sound/noise to the surrounding, as an open system will provide a better sound quality.   Those who say that closed headphones suck just haven’t heard a good one yet. An open design also allows your neighbor to listen in on your music…

But if you need a headset with an overall good quality sound, excellent build quality that will last, and a good microphone in one set, then the Carcharias that you can take with you on LAN parties then this is the headset for you.  It will provide you with enough distortion-free volume to last you, but please do mind your ears; it’s easy to damage them with the high volumes this headset can provide.

REPORT CARD : Razer Carcharias Gaming Headset
category rating comments
Quality 4 Good construction and materials
Innovation 3 Nothing that hasn’t been done before in other gaming headsets.
Performance 4 Good crisp highs, if not overbearing.  Bass capability is limited to midrange at best
Installation 4 Comfortable, but needs adjustment.  In-line remote isn’t all that necessary and can get in the way.
Value 4 Competitively priced for a mid-range gaming headset, and has pretty good construction to boot
FINAL VERDICT: 4 out of 5 stars

I bought tow Razer Carcharias Professional Gaming Headphones 10 months ago. The sound quality and comfort were good, the mic was good. After 10 months the mic started to pop in and out, I had to hold the wires on either side of the volume control disc just so, but then if I'm holding wires, how am I supposed to use the keyboard and mouse? Then the sound started getting fuzzy and popping like there was a bad connection. Now there is no sound and no mic. The same thing happened on the other set which was a gift to a friend. Neither of us abuse our equipment. To Razer's credit, the head phones are still under warranty so they will exchange them. Hope the replacements are more durable. I loved the head phones while they lasted…haven't found anything more comfortable and with better sound and voice quality.
