Razer Banshee Starcraft II USB Gaming Headset Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

[thaMaskQC]

Koreans pro gamer wear them with more style :D

[SomeGuy3333]

microphones still lack extensions for people with big heads.

[BZSProductions]

are they massive or is he just really small? cuz they look great just a tad bulky

[MultiSnoopDawg]

Linus has that shirt on?!? but you married now xD

[Hoveringmouse]

Does it feel loose on the head? Just want to know if it would fall off if you moved around.

[tuggummimaskin]

@Hoveringmouse NO! I own it and it's very comfortable! It fits on your head very well! :D

[kazora1001]

whats the diff between a gaming headset and a normal headphone?

[PaimJoao]

@LinusTechTips does he has souround function?

[tuggummimaskin]

@PaimJoao Yes it does!

[Ninchiboy]

how much it cost?

[Ninchiboy]

how much it cost?

[chrstilen5]

Place it in front of you and see the lights when you're being attacked ;D

[simonnor]

Omg i want this so much!!

[tuggummimaskin]

@simonnor I had the same feeling, it is very good in sound, but the mic isn't perfect. U can't change sound or mic when ur playing starcraft 2 for an example. And a lot of sound is leaking out from them. And they are huge!

[KennyQuachMusic]

hey can you plz tell me how much is tat?

[Scyne0101]

@KennyQuachMusic

....

You asking for a troll? or is google just that hard for you?

[Decalto35]

So you can't plug this in to your phone? hmm...

[greetingsmars]

@Decalto35 dude, you are using this for gaming not talking to your mom

[Decalto35]

@greetingsmars lols i wanted to use this as a music headphone as well :D

[Decalto35]

@Decalto35 but now i guess i'll find some thing else :)

[fabri100]

@Decalto35 You can try the razer electra, it has a detachable 3.5mm cord

[Decalto35]

does this come with the 3.5mm jack version? or only usb

[tuggummimaskin]

@Decalto35 only usb

[GamingAwesomeness1]

These don't work on ps3 because I just bought some and they don't work :(

[TheScarytrip]

Does someone know if this headsett is god for counter strike source ? Please answer

[tuggummimaskin]

@TheScarytrip Of course it works as a normal headset, but tha apm lighting system wont' work of course.

[MyMrSuperstar]

"calling down the thunder" is what the banshees say in the game. JESUS!



[wwecyprusguy]

Should i buy this or megalodon? i am confused :S

[Decalto35]

@wwecyprusguy this looks cooler but megalodon has surround sound built in so yea

[tuggummimaskin]

@Decalto35 This one has got surrond sound aswell right?

[Kryptinite9]

Saintvicious is that you?

[2010stander]

[Jknessmic]

@ToXiiCEdiiTzZ megalodon

[Qorumz]

@ToXiiCEdiiTzZ this

[wweHARDYFa]

I won that headset at game expo, and its epic. I use it on my ps3 though

[MacTechReviews00]

Calling down the thunder is a quote from the game...

[sogndal94]

this sux so much that it costs 25,49 in norway at Komplett.no =P order mine to day at school=P

[IVIidnightGaming]

just me or are these freakishly similar to triton 720s......

[MinecraftWeShalPlay]

Is this headset good?

[Loading95Percent]

Could you use them for DJing/Radio?

[pikapikarya]

@Loading95Percent Why would you. These are not professional grade for audiophiles.

[TheStarcrafterII]

[TheStarcrafterII]

[assburgersandmash]

[pal000006]

[SatomiForward]

RAZER MAKES A CONSOLE HEADSET The Chimaera! >< It'll work with the 30 and maybe the PS3

[FlasHProductionzzz]

[RunninRecords]

Will it work on MAC?:)

[Macfrankgermany]

Dam it IWANT THAT SHIRT XD

[Ninchiboy]

@Macfrankgermany ebay men

[TurnoverAbid]

anyone know if these can be used on xbox? i know the game audio might be able to but wb the mic?

[MrRakooma]

@TurnoverAbid Mic wont work im afraid

[tnartey]

@MrRakooma you can get audio out of usb on xbox? i didnt know that

[XgusX]

He is on caffeine! XD

[Nimdalo]

Wht not wireless?!?!

[Colaglass]

@Nimdalo wireless blows

[AndromedaIX]

Thumbs down if you're watching this video with the Razer Banshee

[DaMrFish]

@AndromedaIX Your listening through your banshee's?

[thrallish]

Okey guys this or Cacharias?? i play many games like Sc2 and WoW and all that stuff so please help me i cant deside

[DaemonTFO]

@thrallish I want these but reviews aren't awesome :S dunno about the razer cac x.x

[thrallish]

@DaemonTFO ye i want the banshee aswell but i dont know the difference on them and the carcharios :C

[DaemonTFO]

@thrallish Search for lots of reviews. Banshee is awesome. But it's a bet. Some computers will give the headphones a humming noise and some will make the micc fuck upp. on other computers it's brilliant. A gamble I don't know if I'd want to take :S But the other one o.O Well, heard good and bad things about it. I can't decide on which headset on the market to go for. all I know is I don't want siberia v2, plasticy crap ._.

[hockeysaint23]

@thrallish Dude I'm having the same problem lol, let me know what you decided on and how its working out for you.

[brebz7]

where is that apm circle?

[BingoGaming]

@brebz7 It allows you to choose whatever colour you want on the headset whenever your not playing SC2. When you are playing SC2 the darker the colour, the higher your Actions Per Minute are.

[tuggummimaskin]

@brebz7 It isn't a circle, the lights on the side change colour.

[altlhi]

hi i was looking for a gaming headset and i liked mmx 300 abn it cost around 300$ .. but first i would like your opinion about it and if there is a better gaming headset at that price range thank you

[tuggummimaskin]

@altlhi Why pay 300 for a headset?

[gamenutt5]

My ears!

[2711236]

is it 5.1 sourround?

[cheezdoodle96]

These or the Razer Megalodon?

[flashgames248]

@cheezdoodle96 depends on what you want pc or all plantforms?

[Eskimo256]

@cheezdoodle96 I'd say these.



[Fuice1]

@DragChampion All USB headset uses their own sound card. If you have a soundcard, then it wont use it, it will use the one in the headset.

[MegaThesquid]

can i use this for ps3, xbox etc? or is it just for pc gaming?

[skotten90]

@MegaThesquid it is a usb headset with its own soundcard, so yes you can use it for your pc3, xbox and so on... :)

[MegaThesquid]

@skotten90 okay thx

[whipydip99]

I own one of these. My mic broke in a week. Emailed razer about it and i sent it back. They then sent me the same one back and said that the mic had nothing wrong with it. Never buying a razer product again.

[lolstar1337]

@whipydip99 maybe your just to retarded to set it up? because razor products are awseome! Hater

[whipydip99]

@lolstar1337 I'm just giving you an honest review of me experience. No need to be calling names now, but if you want to be a fanboy and buy things for the branding go right on ahead. I will buy things for the quality of the product, and make sure everyone knows about it if i'm not happy with it so others don't make the same mistake.

[WH0rHeY]

are the earcups bigger than the razer orcas/carcarias

[timsaurusrex]

does this work with the xbox 360

[bikerboi85]

Bought a pair of these and was so unimpressed, no inline controls, not loud enough. no software included (why i dont know). had to update it straight out of the box (drivers and firmware) and it cracked and popped when it was max volume (which wasnt very loud) however it was the most comfortable headset ive worn. had to take them back. got a pair of the TT esports shock one and theyre much much better, except for comfort

[attoghaveympops]

Call down your thunder does not mean your base,

[bikerboi85]

@attoghaveympops

he means bass, not base. dunno if ur trolling or not but yeah

[medtik]

Lame animation in the beginning

[eitan71]

speaking of sound... lol

( we have to wait for him to change his shirt i guess )

[4pattygalata4]

modify YOU found in youtube to MYPRIZE then press enter

[Silvah777]

zOMG I thought it wouldn't be THAT bad, but the mic is TERRIBLE. Go back to the old one.

[ColeTrain2991]

Your shirt is so cool,so did you "Game Over"?

[TehL33TGam3r]

2:44

So you saying that these would be perfect for dumbo?

[cigarjohn42]

Good job.

[SteamieHP]

dude, i want ur shirt

[Martinx88813]

Will Razer have their move controller for PC soon?

[basir004]

I don't get it why are you guys complaining so much about his voice? he sounds ok to me

[fmc77899]

@basir004 it's not his voice it's his mic:)

[BigGR0X]

you guys must have shitty headsets or speakers xP he sounds ok to me

[conradasman]

WTF is up with the AUDIO!!!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!!

:P

[5vatne]

Well maybe you are gelly ?



[kurtzinater813]

still on that bad mic eh... i though you were an audio geek

[dell11700]

@kurtzinater813 dude...he recorded all these products all at once....notice that he doesn't change his shirt

[fmc77899]

@kurtzinater813 if you don't know he is obviously on vacation because you can see he have the same shirt on in the latest videos.

[kurtzinater813]

@fmc77899 alright alright mah bad

[Nazguk1]

the sound is very bad

[Eragon86micky]

jesus..... please fix audio!!!!

[AlphaKennyl]

@5867940 tats what im questioning he posts these videos for the reviews on the products. and so my question is why does it matter if the mic is bad or not? as long as ur able to hear him whats the problem?

[misbahkhantech]

@AlphaKennyl It's extremely uncomfortable. It literally hurts to listen to, and I really want to listen. It's very distracting.

[SvB4EvA]

jesus, fix the audio already

[roumanobr]

Linus cmon now, every1 has noticed the bad audio, just change the camera or adjust it so it works properly :(

[Rabbitkanin3]

They look lame

[Voddgreen]

Razer Brick Starcraft II USB Gaming Headset Unboxing*

[TheRobAndOnly1]

I'm not a fan of Starcraft, but I am a fan of that headset!

[freakyflow]

Too wide to use TrackIr, Thing looks like a brick

[freakyflow]

R2 See if you can if you can boost the output!! stay on target ! i can't shake him Stay on target !! : )

[SunTzu1983]

I don't think "Calling down the Thunder" has anything to do with the sound quality Linus. ;)

That is one of many sayings of the Terran Ghost in the original StarCraft. I suppose they are trying to say that if you have the head set you will be able to perceive more and communicate with your team-mates and be able to "Call down the Thunder" more effectively.

[4pattygalata4]

type MYPRIZE rather then YOU in youtube and then press enter

[mynameisray]

learn to turn the gain on your mic down or don't talk so loud or invest in a boom mic. This shit is terrible on the ears.

[laizel05]

linus is masturebaiting 3:33

[MrBlackBerserk]

get new mic or something

[walther89]

xD

[misiobysio]

GREAT T-SHIRT, can I buy it anywhere? :D

[Hvaharjeggjort]

BAD AUDIO STILL? come on man.

[Flip4life4751]

@Hester708 Learn how to take a joke and stop living such a serious life?

[intelsilver]

My god the mic is annoying

[kyle7412]

I really can't watch these videos with the new mic......

[aznb0i313]

The mic is still a bit too loud.

[etnelav]

why would you unbox it and not show the product before putting it on your puny head

[mab4110]

For $119 get yourself an badass pair of headphones and get a clip on mic. I laugh when these companies try to make their product look 1337 but end up making you look like an idiot with an overpriced piece of plastic on your head.

[ixion1234]

@mab4110 Well clearly there are enough people who would prefer gimmicks like LEDs rather than a decent quality product that Razer can stay around :)

[cookiemonster1167]

please fix your mic and that new cam lets in to much light

[toonygamer2004]

Yay! Linus is back. Missed your videos man.

[fridrik94]

one thing that you might also what to tell us is that if you are wearing it if it slips of and starts to slide all over the place.

[lamcalvin123]

maybe if u pull the mic from so close to ur mouth it wouldn't sound like shit

[tabby051]

That thing is friggen huge

[Schmidteren]

you never look cool with a headset! xD

[cheesypear]

wtf w/ this new mic lol

[Drebln893]

Linus.....you sound like you've eaten your cat

[CISCOTREE]

looks like a dump with leds in ur head hhhhhhhhhhhh

[groundwire123]

very nice looking rig. Cant wait to go pick mine up. Don't like the whole usb thing but I drive truck as well so if I ever get a good laptop to play on when I am on the road, it'll come in handy

[TokerMate]

For anyone thinking of buying Razer headset's I highly recommend you shop around first, I cant speak for this particular headset but the Razer Megalodon that cost around ~$150 when I purchased it was very unsatisfying, especially considering the price. The first problem I noticed was a broken LED on the Volume Control Panel it works sometimes but very rarely (It does have enough power) then the Audio problems came the 7.1 Sounded shit and the audio keeps dropping out and it still can't be fixed.

[groundwire123]

@TokerMate thanks for your review man, almost bought the thing.

[TokerMate]

@groundwire123 No problem, I would wait a while this headset in the video "could" be great, I was just saying my experience with the Megalodon just wait till people have had it for a while and posted about all the problems or posted how great it is lol.

Good luck.

[ChickenandBeer92]

i like my ipod heAD PHONES

[Lunarvx22]

@downscreen129103 Yes, it will be fixed in the next video.

[GeneralBobi]

@downscreen129103 nope

[EtSAdTheBad]

@downscreen129103 Read description.

[NateMac55555]

@downscreen129103 If you watch all these videos with the bad audio, you can hardly notice it by the time you watch this episode ;)

[Sindorai]

All of Linus' current videos are of bad mic quality cuz for the 5 past videos he wore the same shirt people... he's away and I'm sure the mic will be changed, they just recorded these in mass to hold us over till he's back

[OpticalHaze]

First things first!

[psphacking411]

Old Mic was better, or the editors headphones are broken. thumbs up

[kaleltr00p3r]

go back to your mic.....

[Mamonuth]

Does this work with 360/ps3?

[Dachi1991]

blah, usb sucks! 3.5mm for the win!

[cbremer83]

@Dachi1991 3.5 will only support stereo in 99% of headsets. A few exceptions and the only really good exception is the Psychos.

[cbremer83]

Lot's of gimmicky features like the lights that color change with APM. And I'm willing to bet, like most Razor products it will crap out in a matter of months. 

[xb4b1x]

@cbremer83 ive had my deathadder 2 years, n lycosa keyboard 14months. both still working flawlessly :] u have a bad experience or something?

[cbremer83]

@xb4b1x That's putting it mildly. My clan had a sponsorship from them back in the old CAL days. Things went south fast. Mostly from crap product that kept breaking on most of us. Fast forward a few years, now I work at Microcenter. We get more Razor products returned under replacement plans than any other gaming gear on average. LOTS of keyboards. Average is 6-12 months. Many because the rubbery skin peels off the keys. Some for failure of switches.

[nicholaschean]

Ear rings are still gay even your wearing it on one ear. Face it your gay

[cbremer83]

@nicholaschean So what if he is...

[sxyphatboy]

plug it in, and turn it on

[xb4b1x]

@sxyphatboy thats what she said.

[Techbogle]

Linus, the sound is turned up to loud!!!

[king65462]

dude quit eatin the fuckin mic your blastin my speakers

[DRUMMEREEFvideos]

Can't even watch these vids anymore with such bad sound. UNSUBSCRIBED

[MYsterYmarcus]

@DRUMMEREEFvideos READ THE DESCRIPTION! this is the last video with bad sound.
