If you are looking for the ideal headphones to enjoy your games on PC, PlayStation or Xbox, it is highly likely that Razer headphones will be your first choice. Razer has managed to stand out in the market thanks to the excellence of its gaming products, in particular, its microphones and headphones.

When it comes to gaming headphones, it’s essential that they are comfortable, durable, and offer all the features you need. The

Most notable Razer meet all of these requirements and do so at an extremely attractive price.

The headphones

Razer BlackShark V2 Pro

They represent an improvement over the already excellent V2, considered among the best gaming headphones available on the market. At first glance, they maintain the same aesthetics as the original model, but they incorporate a fundamental feature: wireless connectivity.

The headband features incredibly soft synthetic leather padding on the underside, while the cups are equipped with fabric-covered foam pads that prevent sweat build-up. This ensures a long wearing experience without any discomfort.

These headphones stand out for their attractive and minimalist design, with the brand logos as the only decorative element on both cups. In addition, they have intuitive controls, including a volume potentiometer, a power button and another to mute the microphone. On the left side of the cups, there are the USB ports for charging, the 3.5 mm jack for the

audio cable

and another for the detachable microphone.

The detachable microphone fits on a flexible metal boom and has seen significant improvements. It now features a 9.9mm HyperClear supercardioid capsule, which more effectively captures vocals and reduces ambient noise.

In the world of gaming headsets, sound quality is essential, as is clear communication and cancellation of ambient noise to ensure others can hear you correctly. The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro headphones more than meet these three aspects. The microphone is ideal for streaming or recording podcasts, although for professional users an external microphone is recommended for even better quality.

These Razer headphones excel in both gaming and music playback. The power is amazing and the bass is reproduced excellently, with no distortion at any volume level, while the tonal balance is exceptional.

3.5mm. The wireless adapter is perfect for use with PCs, and through the Razer Synapse software, you can access the THX Spatial Audio feature. To connect them to consoles or mobile devices, you will need the audio cable, although unfortunately, you will not be able to enjoy the surround sound experience with this connection.

According to the information provided by the company, these Razer BlackShark V2 Pro headphones offer an impressive autonomy of up to 24 hours on a single charge, which is exceptional for wireless gaming headphones.

The headphones

Razer Nari Ultimate

They are pioneers in incorporating HyperSense haptic technology, offering specifications that compete with the best gaming headsets on the market, such as the SteelSeries Arctis Pro. Despite being somewhat heavy, weighing 432 grams, they are surprisingly comfortable. The synthetic leather pads are soft to the touch and have a design especially designed for users who wear glasses.

Following the line of the Nommo Chroma speakers, these Razer headphones include subtle RGB lights. The brand logos on the sides of the glasses light up, although with moderate intensity. These aesthetic details are especially attractive in low-light environments. In addition, potentiometers have been integrated into each cup and buttons for the

control

of the functions, although it is important to note that the potentiometers do not have as smooth a slide as would be desired.

For gaming it is exceptional. While many Razer gaming headsets tend to emphasize the bass, this model offers a surprising balance between bass and midrange. Although they lack active noise cancellation, they provide great comfort, thanks to their spacious cups.

The new Hypersense technology built into these Razer wireless headphones is not used for music playback, but adds an impressive effect in games. This function processes audio signals from any device and reproduces them as vibro-tactile frequencies.

Although the frequency response is shorter than the Arctis Pro, the 50mm drivers in these Razer headphones do an exceptional job and offer superior power than the SteelSeries.

The Razer Nari Ultimate is equipped with a retractable microphone that can be muted with a button conveniently located on the back of the left ear cup. Additionally, they have a potentiometer to adjust the balance between chat volume and game audio.

In terms of connectivity, these headphones offer a power button, a micro USB charging port, and a 3.5mm jack. On the right cup, you will find a potentiometer for the volume.

Connectivity works efficiently. To use them wirelessly, you need to connect the USB adapter included in the package to your device. However, keep in mind that you won’t be able to connect them to your smartphone, as they are designed exclusively for devices with standard USB ports. However, you always have the option of using a 3.5mm cable and adapter.

The wireless USB adapter offers a range of up to 12 meters, outperforming most

Bluetooth headphones

in terms of distance. Although 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity is not as versatile as Bluetooth, it allows for use with minimal latency.

Razer claims that these headphones offer a battery life of up to eight hours with Chroma lights and HyperSense technology activated. With both functions disabled, the battery can last up to 20 hours.

The next iteration of the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless headphones, although slightly more expensive, features substantial improvements over the original model. It offers superior audio quality, an application that allows personalized equalization, attractive colored LED lights in the outer cups and the addition of active noise cancellation.

Despite having slightly larger cups, their fit is secure and provides comfort during prolonged wearing sessions. The package includes three sets of silicone eartips of different sizes to suit your preferences. In addition, they are IPX4 certified, which makes them resistant to rain and sweat, although they are not designed for immersion.

The touch controls on the cups are highly responsive and easy to use. A single touch on either cup lets you play music or manage calls.

Active noise cancellation is effective, although not outstanding. While it has no serious problems blocking low-frequency noise, such as aircraft engines, in quiet environments, ANC may generate slight noise

, although it is not annoying. Importantly, the best noise-cancelling headphones do not suffer from this problem.

Encouragingly, noise cancellation does not negatively impact sound quality. The earphones house 10mm drivers that offer outstanding performance. The bass is deep and the treble is equally clear, with no noticeable distortion.

To take full advantage of all the features of these Razer headphones, you can use two applications: Razer Audio and Chroma RGB. Razer Audio provides various settings and equalization for the sound, as well as allowing you to switch between ANC, ambient sound, or turning off noise cancellation. It is also possible to customize the controls and make other settings according to your preferences.

Second-generation Hammerhead True Wireless In-Ear Headphones support connectivity

Bluetooth

5.2 and offer a wide wireless range. They support SBC and AAC codecs, although they do not support aptX.

Razer claims that the battery on these headphones lasts for approximately four hours of continuous playback with the lights and active noise cancellation enabled. If you deactivate both functions, the autonomy is extended to about 6.5 hours. Although it is not a surprising figure, it is not considered bad in terms of battery life either.

Razer is a brand recognized for its excellence in gaming equipment, ranging from headsets and keyboards to microphones and laptops. However, with headphones

Razer Opus

, the company addresses a much broader audience. These wireless headphones with active noise cancellation offer a versatile wearing experience in any environment.

Despite all their features, they are surprisingly affordable. Its elegant design goes hand in hand with effective active noise cancellation and a wide range of features that are sure to satisfy even the most demanding users.

In addition, its comfort is notable, thanks to the memory foam pads with a soft synthetic leather finish.

The headphones are durable and have a foldable structure that makes them easy to transport. Additionally, they are supplied with a high-quality case and all necessary cables, including an airplane adapter.

The active noise cancellation of these Razer Opus headphones performs exceptionally well. We tested it in various environments, and it was proven to significantly reduce all types of ambient noise. This achievement is due in part to the inclusion of four external microphones that enable intelligent noise cancellation.

These noise-cancelling headphones are equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 technology, giving them generous wireless range. They include a USB-C port for charging and another 3.5mm auxiliary port for wired use, ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of devices.

The company maintains that the battery of these headphones provides a surprising autonomy of up to 32 hours of continuous playback with active noise cancellation enabled, or 40 hours with ANC disabled. This level of capacity is truly exceptional and ranks among the best on the market in this regard.
