Expensive
Poor 50% compatibility for Windows XP

Blocks system controls in Mac and XP...
This headset is USB only
And therefore it does not have any connector adapters available.
In terms of gaming headsets Razer’s Megalodon is right up there with the best. As a 2.0 headset it provides clear and accurate sound with plenty of power when required though that is not its strongest point. Switching to 7.1 mode for games which sup...
Highly comfortable design, sturdy build, illuminated control pod for controlling volume level of individual channels, good audio quality, handy carry case provided
Control pod is too large and bulky, USB-only input limits the types of devices that can be connected, excessive audio leakage
The Razer Megalodon are definitely an impressive piece of kit. The look cool, are very comfortable and have great audio quality. The multichannel effect works brilliantly for games and movies alike and they are not too shabby with music as well. Howeve...
Good build, Good looks, control pod is designed well
Bass is boomy, Expensive
PerformanceWe plugged the headphones into the USB slot of our HTPC, and lined up COD: modern warfare, Prince Of Persia, Left For Dead and Crysis. Also regular stereo music test along with test Dolby(AC3) files. Strictly speaking, the headphones have bo...

Great sounding 7.1 surround sound headset; boom mic; comfortable; in-line control box; fully customizable surround sound and mic levels; Includes high-quality carrying case.
For $149, the Megalodon is a disappointment with its average audio performance and lack of dedicated software. There has been an increasing effort from manufacturers to cram 5.1 surround sound in a pair of cans – usually made to look bulky, intimidati...
Bon son en stéréo, puissant, Port très confortable, Télécommande avec DSP intégré, Aucune installation / housse de transport
Algorithme Maelstrom 7.1 décevant, Basses sourdes si trop hautes / pas d'aigu, Isolation phonique légère / souffle du micro, Connectique USB seulement
Vendu aux alentours des 140 €, le Megalodon vient donc se placer en concurrence directe avec le Sennheiser PC 333D. La comparaison sera donc facile. En termes de prestation audio, le casque de Sennheiser prend clairement l'avantage, surtout pour ce qui es...
Ce vilain Megalodon est une belle réalisation de Razer. Il reste un détail insignifiant dont nous n’avons jusqu'à présent pas parlé : le prix…Une paille, autour de 160 €. Ca pique un peu quand même ! Res...
Bonne finition, Processeur audio 7.1, Boîtier de contrôle intégral, Longueur du câble
Prix élevé, Volumineux, Micro pas détachable
A loccasion du dernier salon Games Convention 2008 de Leipzig, le constructeur spécialisé dans les accessoires haut de gamme pour les jeux et les joueurs, «Razer», vient de présenter son nouveau casque audio Megalodon. Ce dernier est -à limage de bon...
