Choose it if…

  • You want game sound and voice chat in one headset.
  • You are happy to check your voice with your chat app’s mic test instead of hearing yourself continuously in headphones.
  • You want a wearable microphone rather than a separate desk stand or arm.

Before choosing this model

  • It is analogue only: on a desktop PC with separate mic and headphone jacks you need a splitter.
  • The mic is fixed; Razer says to keep it about an inch from your mouth.
  • Buy the exact platform edition. A different dongle or console edition can change the chat connection.
  • Use the headset microphone in the way you connect it. A desk stand or mic arm does not apply to this wearable setup.
  • Check the included cable against the available data port. Add only the adapters or headphones your chosen path needs.
