Packed full of speakers, Even includes a sub in each phone
Clumsy technology, not impressive at all
Theres no doubt about it, this is one of the most enormous sets of cans weve ever seen. Packing three speakers and a sub into each earphone it certainly has the oomph to deliver when needed.In fact, the bass when listening to MP3s was enough to wobbl...
As with all their products, Razer are aiming to market this headset to gamers and although it may not have the best sound quality or bass frequencies in the world, nor for that matter the best mic, what this headset does do is provide a fantastic all ...
Before I even laid my hands on the headset, I was rather skeptical that a headset could provide true 5.1 sound. Although I knew it was a razer product, and I have yet to be disappointed by one of their products, I was still worried. Now I can say agai...

The blue LEDs look pretty cool, Small, unobtrusive & detachable mic (just dont lose it)
Requires USB to work, Bass... What bass?, The surround sound effect is lacking, Volume control unit is a bit cumbersome

The Razer Barracuda HP-1 Gaming Headphones provide excellent 5.1 surround sound for games. The removable microphone is great for online multiplayer and VoIP applications. The built-in amp is powered by a USB connection, rather than the AC power found o...
The headphones dont sound as good with movies and music as they do with games. You must buy Razers sound card to truly optimize audio.
The Razer Barracuda HP-1 Gaming Headphones are great for gameplay, but there are better options for music and movies.
