Choose it if…

  • You want game sound and voice chat in one headset.
  • You want to hear your own voice through headphones while you play.
  • You want a wearable microphone rather than a separate desk stand or arm.

Before choosing this model

  • The mics are built into the ear cups; there is no boom mic.
  • No wired mode: Razer says the ANC, amplifier and mics need the battery, and the USB-C cable only charges.
  • THX Spatial Audio and Razer Synapse work on Windows only.
  • Razer names no Xbox or Mac connection.
  • The Razer Audio app only connects while the headset is on Bluetooth, and Gaming Mode works over Bluetooth only.
  • Plugging in the dongle pulls the headset to 2.4 GHz; switch back to Bluetooth with the SmartSwitch button.
  • A dongle that fits a console's USB port doesn't mean the console takes the mic: check which platforms its maker lists on this page.
  • No stand or arm needed: the mic is on the headset.
  • Use the cable in the box; you only need an adapter if your computer lacks that port.
