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.
It plugs in by cable, so there's no edition to match: use a jack that takes a headset mic, such as a controller's 3.5 mm jack.
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.
