So in retrospect Ill look at the Razer Carcharias one more time in a gamers mind et, in this I will also grade it. The thing that puzzled me is: if this is supposed to be a gamers headset, then why did they opt for a open design? A closed headset w...
Abstract: Solid I think the price tag, $80, is about exactly what this headset is worth. And if you can get it for less, that’s awesome. It improves on the old Razers at that price point in almost every way, but most importantly in ergonomics. Sound is great, t...

Overall this is a good headset, and although I have noticed a few personal preferences here and there, the Razer Carcharias is still a good headset. These are completely dwarfed by the Psycho Audio Headset, but nearly on par with the others of its lea...
Light and comfortable, felt ear-pads limit fatigue, good sound quality for gaming
Unnecessarily bulky volume control, microphone not very flexible, sound leaks easily
