Customer Reviews

Plugged into a portable mp3 player or iPod like device they are plenty loud on 80% volume.
When plugged into a computer you would not want to turn them up past 50% and I use my between 35% and 42%
At the high end of the scale, like 80% on the iPod/mp3Player and 45% on the computer, the headphones are jumping. You feel like you are listening to a superior car stereo. If you like to feel bass these are it.
Disconnected cables are KILLER! (comes with 2 neon green leads, one with and one without a built in mic. The audio cables also lock in to the headphones. It's a well kept secret but once you connect on the headphone side just turn it 1/2 turn and they don't come out)
Leather ear cups are KILLER! (they tilt and shift too and fold up nicely)
From looking at the picture I thought they were going to be odd, mostly the headband but it is great.
These don't have active noise canceling but they don't need it. I personally find noise canceling a gimmick and a waste of expensive batteries. If you have a shaved head the leather ear cups make a great seal here. You can listen to them on full volume and people next to you won't hear a thing.
I wouldn't use them for this but you could mow a lawn and still be able to hear your music.
Razer has thought of everything with these and nailed it!

OK, so first the good,
The headphones are definitely worthy of the 5 stars, however there are some things you should know before deciding on these or another set.
First, the build quality, VERY VERY good, these things are solid, they feel well made in every regard, the padding, everything is top of the line.
The detachable cables will allow this product to hold up for a LONG time, I am certain these headphones will be with me forever.
Sound quality, these are like the old school "cans" that your granpa had, they sound TREMENDOUS when you turn the volume up, however, I listen to music mainly, and At low volumes they still sound good, but you end up with too much bass in relation to the rest of the mix. Everything comes through at high volumes though.
Comfort, They are very comfortable for this style of headphone, however, for an all day set, they could do, but there are better options in this price range, and I am comparing them mainly to the Koss PortaPro.
So for the bad,
On the Sound Quality, again, at low volumes, or SPECIFICALLY the volume that I listen to music at while working, they are above average, not as good as the Koss Portapro's for long periods of time, listening at a low volume so as not to damage your ears.
Comfort, My ears tended to get warm, not hot, but warm, I have other sets like this, and these are amazing in relation to the other "Can" style headphones, but compared to the Koss, you dont even feel like you are wearing the Koss headphones.
The extra noise, well they are cans, so if you brush up against something with the chord, or with the actual headphone, you will hear it, sort of like a toy stethoscope, it doesnt bother me, but for some this would drive them crazy.
For the money, you cant go wrong here, my own personal preferences I would buy the Koss PortaPro's at this price, but these are made more for gaming, I took a risk in the hopes that they would sound the same as the Koss, be just as Comfy, but have the detachable chords and durability that I was expecting, Its CLOSE, but you do have to crank them a bit, and they are not as comfy as the Koss, but probably the best set of this style on the market at this price.
Im not an audiophile, so my standards may be lower, but if you are familiar with the Koss, then you have something to compare these to.
