Review of the Razer Carcharias

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2011

Verified Purchase

I was originally set up with a $15 headset from gigatech. I decided it was time for an upgrade, so I looked around, read reviews and comparisons and finally decided to buy the Razer carcharias. The headset seemed like it would be a good headset for a good price. It ended up being the biggest waste of $70+ dollars I have ever spent. The only upside of this headset is that it is comfortable to wear and it has a ~9ft nicely wrapped cord. The $15 gigatech headset has comparable audio performance, and is able to chat online through skype, online games, etc. with no problem with either me hearing people talking or with other people hearing me talk. A basic quality that the Carcharias was unable to provide. I tried several things, determined to make this headset work. I checked for an updated version of my computers audio drivers, anything Razer might provide through it's site and a few other basic things. I had a friend try it on his computer without any better results. I also tried to buy an adapter to change it from the two 3.5mm into a usb interface. I even tried to see if I could just get it to work for my xbox 360 if it would not work on my computer. I had a few adapters that I was already using for a set up of $10 headphones and the default xbox 360 mic. These worked. but again the performance was lacking so I bought a few more/better adapters and came across the same problems with that. The sound on the speakers is decent overall got some nice bass. It is a bit quiet, which worked for me cause I do not listen to music too loud but anyone who does want to crank it up should not consider these for that purpose either. Also the sound canceling is pretty horrible the mic when testing it out on the default windows sound recorder could hear the music playing while I was listening to it on the the headset, and if your one of those people that want to immerse yourself into whatever movie or game your playing these headphone do very little to block outside noise (good for hearing the phone/doorbell ring though.). I tried my best to make this headset work, even to my already low standards, but the Razer Carcharias is an expensive scrap heap that got outperformed by a couple of headsets whose combined price is less than half it's cost.

Fantastic Headset

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2010

Verified Purchase

For the last couple of years I've been meaning to purchase a good set of computer headphones. Since I was used to listening to my Logitech Z-2300's when it didn't bother people around me, switching to headphones was always a disappointment since the quality was so much lower ( I have a pair of Zune v2 ear buds I was using up until now for both my iPod and my computer ). After listening to higher end headphones like the Sennheiser HD 595's I had convinced myself that that was the kind of money I needed to pay to get good quality sound out of headphones. Then I found the Carcharias.

This isn't some preachy "This is the best headset in the world" review, because it's not. I still think the HD 595 sounded WAY nicer than this, mostly because of the bass clarity which is due to the larger drivers. However, for $60 - $80, I am confident that this is easily the best headset available. Actually, this is probably the best headset below $120, and absolutely NOTHING about this headset is cheap, except the price of course. Here are the major selling points for the headset after listening to the headset for a few weeks.

- First off, this is easily the most comfortable headset I have ever worn. I loved the HD 595's when I wore them, and they were extremely comfy, but the larger drivers mean more weight. The Carcharias have a perfect weight and balance to them, and never feel precarious or awkward at all.

- The headphones, although by no means expensive, easily hold their own against cans that cost $50 - $100 more. The treble is great, very clear and never screechy. Midrange is balanced and perfectly suited for games, movies, etc. Bass is a little lacking in my opinion, but for a set of headphones as light, low-priced and comfy as these, it's really hard to expect more. There's nothing wrong with the bass, it's just that it would be nice if the bass kicked just a little more. Then again, my comparisons are dinky ear buds and a killer set of speakers, so maybe you won't find them lacking at all. Heck, if you're used to normal ear buds, these are heaven in comparison. :]

- The mic picks up sound perfectly and rotates so it can be worn either way. Not much else to say about it, it works and it works well. Infinitely better than the desktop mic I was used to.

- Finally, small details: The presentation, fit and finish, and style are all top notch. Nothing is gaudy or overdone, and the headset as a whole exudes class. Very nice looking, extremely comfy, extra long 6 ft. braided headphone/microphone cable with inline volume adjustment and microphone mute. Headphones put almost NO pressure on your head, making them comfy to wear for hours on end.

Overall, the ONLY flaw is the slightly lacking bass, and even that is hard to knock it for at all since the headphones sound so dang good overall. I have no problem giving this the full 5/5 stars, and it definitely earned them. Fantastic headset overall. If you're in the market for one and don't want to pay more than $100, this is THE headset to get.

Also, sorry I kept referring to the Sennheiser HD 595's so often, but those are the pinnacle of headphones I've heard, so everything gets compared to them and these stood up pretty dang well. Excellent work Razer.

Audio quality is great and it's comfortable on my head. Clarity of the microphone and the cord length is also a plus. If this one lasts a while, I'd consider buying the same one as a replacement.

Really like this device.
Light weight
comfortable
soft on the ears
It's very durable, I've had it for nearly 2 years now.

The only downside is the ear covers are made of suede which while making them incredibly soft on your ears also picks up some dust and other random hairs, etc. Hardly an issue if you keep your stuff clean regardless.

It's a decent price, it has comfy ear pads that fit well over glasses. The shipping was ultra fast. A+

Cons: The white lettering on the mic mute switch, rubbed off in only 5 days, so its a bit annoying to try and remember what direction is mute.

This headset does not fit that well on your head and is very flimsy. The wires get tangled very easily too and it is not that comfy.
