I bought my Megalodons about 3 months ago and have thoughly played and tested them befor making this review.

Let me start by how they feel on ur head. Imagin sitting at a table beer in one hand and some nice warm tits dropping down over ur head. yup their comfy.

How do they sound ?? well in CSS u can hear shells hitting the ground. thses puppies can play every sound the games putting out and not distort. for movies their amazing to.

Quality and shipping. The box they came in was like an awemored tank! and the crafting of this item is mint. These truly are the cream of the crop.

Price is well .... unfortunelty like everything today expensive for good quality. but hey if u got the money to buy them just do it. u wont look back. and if u dont like them well. sellem to ur buddy. he will like them and be happy to give u half price :D

5/5 good job razer.

I used this headset for about a week, the sound was pure, and sound exactly like 7.1 channel surround sound. At first it sounded muffled compared to my old headphones, only because I was used to hearing sound with a lack of bass. Though after a few days, I thought it sounded absolutely perfect. It works well with all games I have tested, including source games. The drivers install instantly for both Windows XP x32, and Windows 7 x64 without any problems. However, there were a few bandwidth issues, which I expect because I also have a Logitech G15 gaming keyboard. As well as with most Windows 7 x64 owners, there were issues with sound cutting out, which I also experienced. However after disabling application priorities for the device in the control panel, it seemed to happen less frequently.

However, every night when I went to sleep, I would tuck them away back in their case, but leave the Maelstrom Panel on my desk, and tuck the wires underneath my keyboard. However, last night I did not and I suffer the consequences. My cat. whom I love dearly, decided to have a feast on a perfect, tender but soft wire. I woke up this morning to a loud thump, to find my headset cable ripped apart at ease, and the headset not working at all. The LED's would not light up, and there was absolutely no sound produced at all.

My suggestion is, do not be lazy. Take care of this headset, and take the time to put it away in a case every night. Especially if you have an animal who may check your desk for treats at night. As an alternative, it may fit in the box easier with the wires and prevent them from twisting or bending.

Listening to these old headphones makes sound seem black and white.

The best Headset i ever had. if u got the money go buy it ;) <3

I got these headphones in expecting them to sound like a cheap pair of 150.00 headphones. For you audiophiles out there you know what I mean: tinny, shallow, airy, extreme bass distortion, etc. I found none of that with the Megalodons. In fact I would directly compare the 2.0 sound quality of these headphones with that of the Bose quiet comfort 2’s and 3’s. The 7.1 is amazing. In every game I have played I can actually hear what is behind me, and the direction of it, at all times. Thank you so much Razer for these amazing beasts that have just “razerfied” my world.

This works just like it should. Awesome sound quality, button to switch between 2.0 and 7.1 for stuff that doesn't support surround sound. The mic is good quality too. All those retards who say the mic doesn't work obviously just don't know how to set it up or something... although I didn't really have to set mine up, it just worked. Anyway their problems are user-specific, and should not deter you from buying this.

I love Razer product but the mic works 1 minuet and dusent work the next.


PLEASE RAZER FIX THIS PROBLEM!!!

i rly recommend this headset, amazing sound and i had no problems with it
u guys rly put the sound in its place

Well worth the money, the sound quality and bass are great.
4/5 because of the built in driver having issues with a few programs namely ventrilo. With luck a firmware update should remedy this headsets slight set backs.

Awesome sound, bass is amazing, overall performance is savage.


Mic is crystal clear, to all you that complain about it read the manual and you will find that the mic sensitivity and mic level correct your issue.



Recommend to any gamer.

Looking for some firmware updates to fix little things.

Razer has truly outdone themselves. First I have been impressed with my Razer HP-1 Headset and AC-1 Audio card, but now... I just can't believe they were able an even more amazing pair of headphones. I put these through the tests any gamer would expect to do. the game Crysis and it's high sound quality paired with these headphones left me looking over my shoulder and watching my back from the voices coming from behind me in such perfect quality.

RAZER FOR LIFE!!!

One word Amazing. This headset is worth every penny. The comfort you receive is incredible. Everything from the packaging to the actual first time you use it you will being saying wow.

This is such a great headset. The sound quality is just perfect. I would recommand this product to anyone and the price is not that bad when you relize what your getting.

I got these to replace my Barracudas and though the sound from the Barracuda's is phenominal, I was constantly stricken with headaches. I just got these headphones and they are nice and lightweight, everyone can hear me clearly, my ears aren't sore when I take them off, they're great!

This headset is so good. It's got everything I've ever thought would be better with all the previous ones I've owned.
The muffs are big enough to go over my whole ear comfortably. The material on the inside of the muffs are about half a centimeter away from the speaker itself, so if you have large ears they won't be pushing on the plastic casing of the speaker and it won't get uncomfortable. I've had that problem with most of my other headsets. Your ear lobe sits comfortably in them and doesn't get stuck between the side of your head and the round bit. All the material is VERY soft and it's so light.
I've been wearing it for about 8 hours a day for almost a week now and it doesn't start to hurt your neck after a while. It also doesn't feel like one side is being pulled down more than the other because the cable is heavy, as this cable's braided and very light. The volume control on this would be irritating but they've made up for that by putting a clip on it so you can attach it to your pocket or something and can't feel it. The sound quality's also very sharp and the microphone's very clear.
I can't express how happy with this product I am and if you're considering getting one, it's definitely worth it! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a headset that they can wear for 10 hours+, want clear, high quality sound and a microphone they can get out of the way when they want to.

I got these to replace a 4 year old set of Logitechs. These are better on the ears, and as I run an internet radio, I wear them 4 or 5 hours at a stretch. The cloth pads are a godsend, as is the top pad. Sound quality is phenomenal. The microphone is good quality also. The only drawback is the microphone seems to echo a bit when I talk. I'm not sure if this is related to the software I use to stream or not.

I got the headset today and I'm realy happy about it. The bass is outstanding ,the sound quality too.With FPS games and hight quality music ,it performs a lot ,really a lot better then the other headsets I have used in the past.
Everyone there who is thinking to buy it ...don't think,just buy :)

I've gone through a lot of headsets in my years of gaming, and this is by far the most enjoyable, and most comfortable I've ever used. My wife is very pleased that I will not be buying a new one any time soon.

I have bought this headset a day ago and when I plugged them in to my laptop, I was very excited. When I started to play Counter Strike I was very amazed! It made it sound so real. I would recommend buying this headset!

This gaming family was simply blown away by this head set. We are gamers from long time past and have tried many products. BUT...if you want value and extreme usage - Go Razer all the way. Keep up the good work guys.

Best Headset i ever had <3

Ive hear some people complaining about these earphones hurting your ears, and that is somewhat true. These are a bit of a tight fit at first but provide an incredibly comfortable fit after being worn for about a week. When i wear mine now, i sometimes forget im even wearing earphones, lucky the cord is durable enough to handle me trying to walk away from the computer when its still plugged in...

What more can i say, razer have really done their homework here, the result? an amazing sounding pair of earphones with great frequency response. Don't get me wrong, im no audiophile, but to me, the average gamer, these are all i could ever want in a pair of headphones, and more!

Another great product to live up to my razer expectations

I'd would like to say that this Pirana has very clear and crisp sound but theres a problem im having...im just not satisfied with the volume because i like blasting my ears or maybe i have a problem..I plugged the jacks and the USb to my razer lycosa extention and i cant put the volume anymore higher...i tried maxing out the windows volume and the pirana's volume and also the keyboards volume adjustment all to the MAX but my pirana's volume just isnt loud enough and it sounds moderate...can anyone help me with this problem?

Just know that the Piranha is the World's Leader in On-Ear Headphones.. My last Creative Fatal1ty cant survive this. Warcraft III, CS Source, Titan Quest Immortal Throne, CS 1.6...
Background sound is perfect, also the music. One only word: Perfect ! You must have these !

This is the first headphone i buy and i am really satisfied with Razer Piranha!
The quality is top-notch and i can wear it for a long time without hurting my ears!
Thanks again razer =D !

I could say a whole lot. Or, like me, you could just get a pair of these, and then just listen. Incredible coverage of the spectrum of sound. You almost forget theres a microphone, and that your supposed to talk into it.

I was sceptical about Razer's audio credibilities... I was proved wrong when I bought this Razer.... I thought my Razer Lachesis was enough but I was lacking from the sound department.....

This thing PWNED my other headsets... Even My Fatal1ty.......

I'm still shock by the Piranha..... one word to sum it up?

EPIC

I bought these about 2 months ago and all I can say is INCREDIBLE! I am truly impressed, especially considering the other headphones in this price range. These put out just an absolute crisp, clean sound, with a very very good bass output. These do not crackle at higher volumes, you can tell the speakers are made very well. The ear cushions are perfect! I mean not too tight, and always seems to mold around you. The microphone is crystal clear, I speak to family back home, and they always say how great it sounds. These are a must buy! You cannot go wrong.

This headset is awesome! Before now i could only wear a headset for about 15-20 minutes before it started to hurt my ears but with the piranha the earpiece is cushioned and very comfortable. also i had problems with the mic on all the headsets ive had before this one, but now with the piranha everyone tells me I'm coming through crystal clear. Thanks guys one more awesome periphiral from razer!!!

I CAME BUCKETS. These head phones are completely worth the money. Firstly they are so comfortable, I can wear them hours on end with no pain in my ears. Secondly, the bass and sound quality is AMAZING. They seriously shit all over my last pair of logitech. Thirdly, the microphone is absolutely AWESOME. My last pair of head phones kept picking up all my fans in my case, including my huge heatsink's fan, These ones barely pick up any tractor"" noises as my fellow clan mates called them.

Lastly great price and look great.

If you were looking for a budget solution to the barracuda or megalodon then these ARE the pair for you!

Just received my razer piranha's and all I have to say is wow these headphones rock. They have amazing bass and highs I never expected this much sound. If you are even thinking about it don't just buy these you will not be disapointed. I love razer products there stuff rocks and I will never buy anything else. Thanks guys another great product from razer.

I have it for at least 2, 3 years...

Very good sound, the 5.1 really works. It's not like a real home theater, but it's worty the money and the lack of people arguing with you about the sound volume.

Must buy!

I got these a few weeks ago and I've been 'testing' heavily since then.
The quality is amazing, bass isn't exactly cheek rippling, but it's pretty good.
They are extremely comfortable, and very sturdy.
Next up is the AC-1

I've had a pair of these for over a year, I can easily wear them for over 6 hours. Sound is good, bass doesn't come close to my BOSE set. I get a slight static noise as well, which my bose set eliminates. Lights no longer work, from the slight continual tugging on the cord. Mic has always worked flawlessly.

Razor is lucky bose doesnt have a gaming set, but these are pretty good.

Good Sound GOOD MIC, GREAT LOOK! GREAT BUY!

This headset is great, it cancels all the noise around me and the quailty of the ingame and outside of game is perfect! They fit around my ear very comfortably. The plugin mic is genius and it is not in my face like mouse mics, and yet, it has the best voice quality then the other headsets i have used in the past. Great Job!

I got these because I wanted a great pair of headphones. That I got. I didn't know you would need all the audio ports to use them fully. You have to either use your speaker system or the headphones. Not both. What I have done is plug my speaker system into the back of the pc, and only use a couple of channels on the headphones by plugging them into the ports on top of the case. I have a Rosewill Conqueror black edition case. That does work out well. Other than that, GREAT choice in gaming gear. You do hear everything. No surprises as long as you use all the channels. If I had to get another pair, I'd replace these with the same, or the Megaladon.

I was thinking about if its gonna worth buying this product, and now, after about half year usage, I can admit, it is one of the greatest headphones ever. I can easily wait for my enemies, because I hear where they are, and kill them when they dont even know where I am. So I give a 5, though after a while it hurts my ears:( But apart from that, its a great choice for a headset:)

My brother bought these headphones a couple months ago and when i went to a lan with him i got to use them..they where really great..you could hear your enemy before they even saw you...but there is one small problem..you guys should try to make them in green..like your keyboards..try to make the backlight in them green..maybe you guys could make a battle light in green...that would be awesome...because i have a computer with green lights and it is really hard to find anything like these items that match my computer..and i really dont want to use anything other than razer!! GO RAZER!!!

best headphone but a little bit tick

This headphones are 1 of the best headphones in the world ( for me ) you can ear everything in the game and the quality is just awesome , but they hurt my ears , that is the problem :S
