  • I just bought this today.. cus i did't wanna buy the new one cus of price.. am i a noob now? :/

  • These thingare the worst thing Razer has put it. It is absoulute shit, mine, that I saved up for 2 months, might I add, crapped out on me once (microphone didn't work), sent it back, and about 60 days after I got the new one, IT CRAPPED OUT AGAIN. The microphone is very flimsy, if you're planning on getting this headset, DON'T. Go with the Carcharias, same price, but much more durable, the microphone that is. I still haven't gotten around to replacing them because my family's so poor. T_T

  • Is this comfortable????

  • @KibeMadafaka Got these , not really after couple of hours your ears start to heart and there is a possibility that your head hearts too , im lucky i got both piranha and orca and i switch my headset when my ears hurt , as Teezar sayed i suggest the razer carcharias much more comfortable!!

  • @ReMiXzSz Tnx man,one more question,witch has a better sound quality,piranha or orca?(sorry for my bad english)

  • @KibeMadafaka you mean gaming quality? well im an FPS player and in - game Piranha got better quality of sound you can hear almost everything , but for music Orcas are far better because they are comfortable and stable the only negative ( no mic ) , but im still suggesting you Razer carcharias it's like a mix of these 2 headsets together , and if you can afford 20 more $ go for it!

  • @ReMiXzSz I will go for Carcharias...:)

  • It's kinda ugly.

  • Good headset. Still use them. Good mic good sound. They can be uncomfortable for a while but with wear they will adjust to your head and you wont feel it anymore. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem the sound is great but seems like they can go much louder but don't. Tinkered with different configurations still no success. Saw someone on the razer site with same problem. I'd say grab em if you can get em at a good price otherwise grab a newer model.

  • PLEASE REPLY!!!!!! Can you use these with a xbox 360?

  • @TheGadgetGuysChannel no i bought this thinking it work for my ps3 cos it had a usb cable BUT it turns out to be the light power cable what bs

  • @Mw2BoStuff ok thanks

  • Durable? I sat on it and broke on the first day!

  • I think I have to big ears..

  • I just got the SteelSeries V2 instead of my piranah and they are totaly better..

    and the mic gadget is awsome.

  • please help me decide

    Razer Orca

    or

    Razer Piranha

  • @iiAN4NTii piranha has a mic but orca's have better sound quality

  • @iiAN4NTii Piranha if you want the mic, Orca if you don't.

  • Im listening to the review with mine on!

  • just got these and after 10 minutes use - my ears hurt

    the sound is great but they dont cover all the ear and the "soft ear cups" arent so soft

    they squeeze the ears pretty hard..

    *my ears are totaly normal*

    maybe its just me...

  • @m667

    yep, hurts my ears too, not THAT fast, but still annoying..

  • I'm looking at picking one of these up myself, good old 3DGame man answered all the questions I needed to know about it, particularly when he used the microphone himself. Gives me a good idea of what I'll sound like on vent.

  • 5.1 audio in headsets is just a big hoax.

    These headsets are fucking awesome for gaming. And as for 5.1 you can emulate that with a decent sound card.

  • I just got this headset and I like the sound/feel of it, but in Vent my guildies say there's a lot of background static when i talk =\ anyone know a fix? his voice sounds so clear in this video...

  • pretty normal headset , smallish but good ... if you want quality , get the razer carcharias or the megalodon for 5.1 surround

  • I got the headset and it's really good, but i found out that it's low volume on the headset, and i wish i could turn it up a bit more. Can anybody help me?

  • @tykjedasken I am having the same problem. the quality of sound is great ...but its a low volume headset which bothers me.

  • Comment removed

  • HA, i'm using it right now! Thumbs up if you are too... actually... don't thumb this up

  • its good but i had those and until it broke i think it was trying to crush my head

  • Very good headphones

    realy good for musice and gaming

    too bad the mic diead and my ear adjustable thing broke and I had to glue it

  • my microphone doesn't work, and my ears hurt like hell

  • They say that there shoudnt be any background noise coming from the mic when recording or skyping my friends say that it has allot of backgroud noise and im also experiencing that when recording audio from it ...Any answers for that?

  • If it were Wi-fi would be just perfect!

  • @skullcandy9112

    no its just ugly cacharias much better (Y)

  • thumbs up iff u think that the razer piranha is the most ugly looking headset uve ever seen.

  • Got this headset for a week now , well i can say sound quality is good same as microphone , the only think that is bad with piranha is that after 2 hours or so your ears start to hurt , well you can always take a break , if someone is looking for a headset with microphone and good quality and can afford 30 more $ i suggest you Razer carcharias better then these and you can spent endless hours on the pc without hurting your ears at all .

    i could give piranha 7 / 10 .

  • ahhhh... brings back memories... i love the opening music to your videos :)

  • @xoxylordx do you know what song that is? pretty awesome

  • best sound ever rocks on cs.16

  • Hi, quick question. I'm looking for mostly quality of the microphone because of my very loud pc, will this do the trick or can anyone suggest anything with better noise reduction or even something cheaper ? Secondly.. It has usb, can it get the sound via usb? cause I want skype through the headset and surround sound via speakers.. Or is the usb just for the led power ? THANKS

  • they look really uncomftable, are they :O?

  • @TheSnakepoison i dont have these, but yeeaah it might be a little uncomfi, but compeard to be a on ear, big NO!!. most on ear are shit for comfort, but this is soft an flexible sooo... if you dont mind on ear you will love these... i guess x)

  • Noooo, mine broke Dx had them almost for a year

  • @zambomaan Are they good? Comfy sitting with for long? And is the mic really awesome? :'D

  • @Niiiwaa they are quite comfortable, but i have to be honest, it didnt take too long before your ears started to hurt, otherwise good. The mic did its business, served well for everything i needed. though the mic was the first thing to brake for me. with that price i say you go with em.

  • @zambomaan Cheers man thanks for the info :)

  • thanks man, Good work. Thumbs up!

  • do these work on xbox

  • Work this on PS3?

  • i am hearing this through my own piranha headset :D

  • my room is completely quiet but when i record i hear annoying noise. Please answer!

  • Comment removed

  • @Ragefire11 i got them, and many players in Counter Strike like team: Fnatic, got them. and yea, they're good! :D

  • @Ragefire11 its a gaming product Lol (Razer company) so hell yeah its awesome for gaming

  • If I wear them more than 1 hour my ears hurts so bad. 

  • I really need a new headset, should i get this one?

  • @AlexanderBstrm

    no, ive got it, my ears hurts like fuck... sound is good, but its really bad if you use it for more than an hour

  • I have this headset, it's sexy.

  • are they comfortable ? for so small earbuds ? like does the ears hurt after 30min ?

  • can you use the xbox 360 with it ?

  • Why is the earbuds so small?

  • but how to  use it with your ps3 ?

  • If you want good sound... then go for sennheiser.

  • @ChorizoTropical They are not even gaming headsets.

  • Why dose it need a USB??

  • @FredyMzY its for the leds

  • @FredyMzY the light

  • @sqion they told me already....

  • Cheap the damn thing is 60 dollars and you can get another 70 dollar headset from the site and it isn't a peice of crap.

  • @NoteLou i think ur head is abnormal

  • What a retarded review. Stop doing them at all, you fucking suck at it douche....

    And Razer is crap, don't buy that fancy shiny crap of shit, SteelSeries is the way to go.

  • razer or logitech? or steelseries?

  • @GurgelGnorf anything but this... i had this for about a half a year and the mic broke... im getting steelseries siberia v2

  • @GurgelGnorf The Razer Carcharias(stereo) or Razer Megalodon(7.1 surround sound) headsets are very good. Astro A40 is also a great headset but more on the expensive side. I have the Carcharias and they're perfect for me but if you play FPS games then go for a 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound, i'm a mmorpg player.

  • @GurgelGnorf the steel

  • This or 5hv2?? PLZ respond

  • lol i miss the outakes at the end of the videos

  • Ive owned the piranhas for some time now and ive never had any problems with them other than the sound doesn't sound as loud as it can go for some reason. Other than that they're pretty good you just have to adjust to them and they wont hurt your ears after. I don't even think razer sells them on their site anymore they've had "not available at the razer store" forever now. Anyways if you can snag these at a good price id get em if you want a pretty decent headset.

  • 3DGM :D good solid reviews, love it.

  • Don't get it, it broke since the place where it takes the most abuse is made out of weak plastic, I taped it, though.

    Afterwards the mic stopped working.

  • I had this headset, I agree with a lot of what was said.

    But just so you know, after a few months of use not even that loud the left cup has gone very crackly, also after a few hours of use it does get a little painful on the ears.

    Other than that I have really enjoyed owning the Razer Piranha headset.

  • Good Mic???

    Man Test The Razer Carcharias mic.

    THATS a Good mic

  • works with ps3?

  • Excellent reviw mate.. im picking up a pair soon.. but you chatted to the camera or us the viewers like we were retarded. :/

  • This is an excellent review and he pretty much covered it. That's how you should rate it not on your personal preference.

  • tofity wow witha good microphone

  • looks gay

  • They are hot

  • i got Cr4tive Fatality. its nice. :) its kind of cheap, BUT its 100 times better sound quality than skull candy and removable microfone.

  • @LeevuskaRakastaa i got the same headset i had it 4 month now its good one never had problems with it.

  • @LeevuskaRakastaa I also have a fatality and it works wonderfully for the price.

  • @clankdud Yeah but the most common problem with Fatal1ty headset is that other of the earpads(?) break down. I had Fatal1ty and the left thing broke, it didnt give sound and after that I got new headset from the shop because I got the.. thing what I dont remember and then after about 6 months it broke too.. But if you get it to last long then its definitely worth the price

  • @0nc Mine hasnt had a bit of the problem yet thankfully and I am quite abusive -.-

    Mine is the Creative Fatal1ty Gaming USB Headset - Smaller Box though as I am not quite sure about the differences. I got it half off on newegg so I was quite happy no matter what and it is ultra comfy.

  • i bought mine today and they really aren't conmfortable to wear, like its designed for people with huge heads :p

    Anyways ive ordered the razer carcharias now instead and im going to sell this one because im pretty sure I won't stand a week wearing these :<

    So big tip guys get the razer carcharias instead it costs 10$/€ more but its better sound quality and waaay more comfortable

  • @cokelaere74

    ur comment is now 1 week old

    do u have the headset jet?

    is it good?

  • I bought these and I have to say they're uncomfortable. After a 2 hour gaming session, my ears were aching from wearing these. I wear glasses and I don't have a massive head but these were damn right uncomfortable. I bought these to replace my Creative Fatality Headset which had a broken microphone (after about 2 years of use) but they were very comfortable even when wearing them for 2 hours or longer gaming sessions. I wish I bought a headset that was as comfortable as that.

  • @HEADSHOTDEALER Get a pair of razer Charcharias's...they are so fucking comfy

  • is it weird that im sexually atractet to a headset?

  • @xtobiashansen heaven's no. that is perfectly normal for all razer products.

  • @xtobiashansen You need to go out more and socialize...

  • @xtobiashansen u cant bang a headset. so yes, it is weird

  • neeeerrrrrdddddd

  • i heard that this headset sucks

    honestly

  • @Hrabia9933 For today's standards. Microphones great though.

  • @Hrabia9933 you heard right I have had it for 1.5 years and I want to chop my ears off after 1.5 hours of use.

  • LoL the bloopers are funny.

  • Been useing Sennheiser PC151 for many years now (bought 2 in a row), but this time i'm thinking about buying this baby, they look almost the same. Anyone got experiance with both? They are the same price category and paramteres.

  • @123phobia123 don't buy this if you havent. Not very good, I have had it for about 1.5 years and it still hurts my ears after wearing for about 1.5 hours straight. The wire's wrapping thats supose to be tangle free lets the wire rip threw and its a tangled mess now. He said it is durable but it isn't.

  • @123phobia123 Get a pair of Razer Charcharias...so fucking epic

  • 5.1 is overrated

  • they were a good head set....but mines just broke today. it lasted for about a year. being used every day. so i must say it was good. but now im getting its big bro the razer megalodon

  • @pred123424 get turtle beach much better

  • @02926776 isnt that an xbox only gaming headset maker? iv heard good things about them.

  • @pred123424 you cna get 1 model for ps3 but just about all of them are made for xbox yes

  • For some reason I can't use the mic without sticking it in front of my mouth manually, which stops me from actually using the headset for sound. The mic seems to only receive sound head on. Help.

  • Think that sealed the deal for me getting one.

  • i have this headset! :D

  • I wanna ask you people about a special headset that I used to own; Deltaco HL-69. What I liked with them was that there was a special feature inside the speakers, see inside the speakers there were a couple of vibrators that made the headset vibrate in response to bass sounds to bring a little more reality to sounds of explosions and gun shots, and this feature made songs better to listen to. What I wonder is, are there any other headsets that has this kind of feature?

  • LOL lan party abuse XD

    they gonna rape the ear cups or what? o_0

  • expensivee..

  • I Dont UnderStand A Word What He Said

    50000 Herts I Dont Even Know How To Spell That Lol

  • they are great

  • umm can you use it on an ipod?? XD wahaha

  • lol. yes. u can use it..

  • cool!! XD

  • 1:45 Yes good, its durable. And you can break it, for thoses kids that have big tempers..

  • i sat on my mic and it broke i had to glue it its fine now :)

  • hai GAMEMAN. i see that u got x fire.

    whats your username?

  • 5.1 is an overrated piece of crap in headsets

  • i got those :)

  • my team mate had this headset fail at him at a LAN event :(

  • pretty much the best headset for the price class.

    AA++++

  • bought and tried and i can tell u that the bass in this headset is ass kicking but prolong wearing results in pain on the ears(no it was not the bass's fault) USB was for the power-light... real jac is the 3.5mm thats all... sold it after 3month use due to un-suitable usage for prolong use(4-6hrs)

  • It get fine if you adjust it properly. My headset isn't painful at all, I wear it all the time.

  • one question im after a headset for mainly listening to music and i want something with really good quality and kick ass bass and that. What would you go for if you had the choice between a logitech clearchat pro or Creative HS-950 or Plantronics Audio 655 USB and these headphones !! thanks very much

  • Razer Megalodon is better i have one ^^

  • @clinte1

    Do you like it? I am thinking about buying one.

  • have you tried the piranha?

  • never tried the piranha i have megalodon and it is a nice headset my clan says wow your voice is so clean now with your headset sow i think it's a good one and nice bass from the headset self i recommend this headset a bit expensive but it's worth it

  • this is an on the ear headphone not the OVER the ear headphone that covers your whole ear....

    so for an ON the ear headphone this is for me the best ON the ear headphone....

  • have you guys try the sennheisser hd25?

    turn it up all the way and it makes your ears move...without distorting..now thats a headphone..

  • kinda looks like a sennheiser pc 166, but with razer design

  • Why is he always, and I mean always talking about the positive things? Nothing is bad in his reviews. And I know that this headset sucks. Damn.

  • Because for the price this headset is pretty good (unless you get a lemon).

    In reviews it only makes sense to review the item based on other items in their price range. If you were to compare these to, let's say, a pair of Bose headphones, then he would say these suck, but Bose headphones are also twice the price or higher, depending on the model.

    It just wouldn't be fair to give the Piranhas a bad review by comparing them to a pair of Bose headphones because the Piranhas are much cheaper.

  • I understand that you can't compare Piranha to a pair of Bose. But at the same time I think it's better to say the bad things about the headset, and try it a couple of days or several hours, so you can make an opinion about it. Not just get it from the shop, try it for like 5 mins then tell us that no better headset exists.

  • He never said that no better headset exists.

    He did mentioned that it does not have 5.1 surround, which is a negative.

    And he does pretty reliable reviews. I assume he has used it for more than 5 minutes, because he knows that that isn't long enough to give an accurate review.

  • sounds nasaly

  • no the steelseries neckband works with xbox

  • does it work with xbox??????

  • whats 5.1 do

  • would you say it's good for music on the road? or they are too bigass?

  • Great headset, I use it and after week of using it I almost don't feel it on my ears.

  • why don't anybody talk about the frequency response? 18Hz~22KHz this is more than the ear can hear, but you sure as hell can feel the vibrates of the lower than 20Hz and higher than 20KHz which means you will have bass you can not get almost anywhere else (is won't exactly shake your room but it'll feel nice on your head and ears and be clear as crap cuz it's limit is lower than your hearing!!! means it isn't reaching it's limit to give you the bass, when it does it's too low to notice!!

  • were do you get that headset

  • razerzone . com

  • Because some people expect high quality from such high brands like Razor and Logitech etc.

    But after my purchase of a logitech clear chat which I expected to be good (Was actually terrible) I think alot of people would want to know what they are buying.

  • I love watching Rodneys Bloopers :D , They crack me up :D

    Excellent review rodney , Looking foward to the new ones :D

  • when the headset is pluged into the usb will the headphones and mic work without pluging in the 2, 3.5mm jacks??? thats what my Microsoft Lifechat LX-3000

  • Nope.

  • rofl lan party abuse hahahah

  • looool

    i lol'd =)) when heard that =))

  • same rofl xD

  • i need help when i talk with my friends in skype they can hear everything i do! this sucks!!

  • Change to push-to-talk.

  • The ear padding is very uncomfortable on this headset. They sit right on your ears, so there can be a lot of pressure that starts to hurt your ears after about a half hour. For the money, you can get a 5.1 surround sound headset with oversized ear ups!

  • i got this headset i love it

  • Allright the razer pirhana seems fine but i'd like to ear suggestions,about the on ear headphones like the pirhana, i don't like the over the ear headphones... so my qouestin is... is there better on ear headphones? i got a prrety good budget please replay to this comment =] thanks!.

  • Designing a harddrive, with a window, is not as easy as you think.

  • DOES THIS WORK ON TV

  • possibly if you have access to a usb or microphone/headphone jack on your tv .

  • nope

  • ontel next time, Take cair!

  • yeah lol, and after that the most fake smile a human can make :D
