Razer Triforce 50mm Drivers
With the ability to individually tune high, mid, and low audio frequencies, the new patented design offered by these headphones functions as 3 Audio Drivers in 1, producing brighter sound with richer trebles and more powerful bass.
Razer Hyperclear Cardioid Microphone
Offering better speech recognition and noise cancellation, the removable microphone has an optimized casing, resulting in improved clarity of your voice.
Passive Noise Cancellation

A pleasant surprise is these particular headphones when first worn. Comfortable for extended use, with sound calibrated to "cleaner paths" rather than the familiar bass-heavy sound I was used to from the company's headphones. Their sound is not like the more expensive version, but the differences are not significant. I would like them to cost 5-10 euros less and that is why I give them 4 stars.

Purchase both the V2 and V2 X for review.
Positives...
Good passive noise isolation, with the X being slightly better.
Very lightweight and comfortable for hours of gaming.
Very good microphone for the price.
Negatives... which are partly expected for their price.
Both have low-quality plastic.
Poor quality leather on the ear cushions and headband for the X, and slightly better fabric for the V2, but both are shallow.
Poor quality volume potentiometer with a lot of noise and disproportionate volume increase. I don't see it lasting long if it already has so many issues.
Unacceptable rubber cable for the X, and a more flexible fabric cable for the V2, but still no magnetic shielding or noise isolation when it touches or rubs against something, you can hear it in the left ear cup.
Adjusting the headset is a joke... one is hard, the other is soft, it goes wherever it wants.
Both have below-average sound with slow drivers that struggle with fast transitions, poor imaging that limits it to left or right, no depth or range, and no separation between notes. Technically, they are headphones at a 30-40 Euro level, so nothing unexpected.
The sound signature for both is V-shaped, with excessive bass that bleeds into the unfortunate mids, and overly pronounced highs for the V2, and slightly smoother highs for the V2X.
Result? For their price, they are a very good choice because they are very comfortable, have good passive noise isolation, and a decent microphone. Now, if you were expecting sound on the level of the Logitech ProX 2 light speed or the Audeze Maxwell, you are way off. In fact, headphones that are not gaming headsets like the AKG 371, 361, DT770, DT 700, and 560s are far superior for gaming. So don't expect miracles at this cost.
The headphones have very good sound, perfect bass, and you can hear everything around you. Very good for shooter games and it has a surround experience. But there is a problem that many have, and I believe you should have your reservations about the purchase. The microphone on the computer doesn't work well, but on the PlayStation 4, it works just fine. If you talk to someone on a voice call, they won't hear you well. It's a shame because they are also very comfortable, and I expected that since they are a well-known brand, they would have a good microphone as well. I suggest you buy some cheap ones or definitely, but apart from those, if you want the headphones specifically for PC. However, if someone knows the solution to the problem, please respond.
P.S.: I tried again to fix the headphones myself and couldn't until I saw this video (https://youtu.be/8TJcQlaTzHo?si=n9PxsjTyFIWlwGdP). For those who are too lazy to watch it, the issue is the splitter cable, or otherwise known as the cable that splits into two for the microphone and headphone jack. Besides the fact that you have to plug the split cables of the splitter in reverse (they don't indicate with a symbol which is which like most splitters), you will have to either go to the device manager, uninstall the 7.1 surround if you downloaded it, and go to the microphone properties to download the driver updates if your microphone is not picking up at all, or plug the cables into the back ports of your computer (or vice versa) to make the microphone sound better without strange noises coming from behind. I tried plugging the headphones into the back, and it worked. Do not download the 7.1 surround. It doesn't enhance anything, and if you download it, uninstall it. Also, in the video I watched, it mentions that the microphone may exhibit the same problems on any device you connect the headphones to. Ultimately, you buy another splitter cable, and if it doesn't work, then the microphone will still work with poor sound or not at all.
I have had them for almost three years and they have been incredibly convenient for me. They are very comfortable, the sound they produce is neither too low nor too loud. I recommend them with my eyes closed.
One of the best headphones I have bought. Sound and microphone are top-notch, very lightweight and they didn't bother me during the 2-hour stretch I wore them. The ear cushions isolate the sound and are very soft, the same goes for the headband. It's like you're not wearing them. The materials and the finish are very high quality.
Perfect guys, for 40€ it's a CRAZY deal! I like the buttons they have for the microphone. It has an on/off button for the microphone and a volume control!!
The build quality is very good, the ear cushions and the headband are soft and press against the head. The height adjustment wires on the ears also help with this.
The bass in the headphones is indeed very good to the point where I don't even need to turn up the volume at the end.
As for the noise cancellation, I am satisfied with the fact that it does indeed reduce the noises from the surrounding environment, but at the same time, when you are not listening to music or playing a game, you hear very little of what is happening around you, so you still maintain awareness of the environment you are in.
The microphone is also very good, and I have no issues with the sound.
The headphones are excellent in every situation, from bass and sound clarity to the construction, which looks very premium and expensive. The microphone is very good and the sound is crystal clear, loud, and with very nice bass. I didn't expect this from €40 headphones. Truly nothing compares to headphones up to ≈€70. I had only one problem, I couldn't use the surround 7.1 because it didn't come with an activation code, only a QR code that took you to the surround page where you downloaded the Surround 7.1 app, which obviously required a code to work. Having experience with Razer's surround system, I know I missed an extra step of powerful and bassy sound, and that's the only thing that was disappointing.
Well, let's start. I got these headphones because my previous ones didn't have a good mic. I take them, connect them, and realize that they have almost no mic at all. On the PC, they sound so quiet that they are useless, while on the PS4 they work normally. I can't understand what the problem is, but I looked into it and many others have the same issue. It's a shame about the money spent. I have no complaints about the sound; on the contrary, it sounds perfect.
These headphones are the best I have bought in the gaming headset category. I have had many gaming headsets in the past, but none of them were as good as these. They have a perfect microphone and are not heavy at all when you wear them. I play games on the PC for many hours and they do not tire me at all. They are worth the money.
I have this headset for few months now and I do not see any mark, any sign of use or something that could say that the quality is cheap. The cable is very long so it can be convenient if you want to move and the microphone is very nice.
If you want to play, I would recommend it but do not play with it for hours because it might hurt a bit as it is a bit tight on your head
In terms of quality, it is excellent. In terms of sound, it is perfect. The only thing I will mention is that the microphone does not easily go up, but this is not a problem, I just mention it, maybe it is an issue for someone, so it is good to know in order to look for a corresponding model.
Very good sound as far as the bass is concerned but not so clear. Also, the microphone is satisfactory. However, for its price, it is a very good choice.
Amazing. Its sound is awesome and it has a very nice bass. No problem with the microphone and it also has a button to cancel it as well as a volume control for the speakers.
If you find it WITH shipping (Final price) at 30-32 it's okay for this price. No reason for more. The microphone is decent enough (8/10) the sound is average to good (7/10) it lacks in the high frequencies in some frequencies. For a price of 30 and below, it's fine though.
Everything is great when you consider these are so cheap. They can feel a bit sharp in places, and it took some work to get them to work right on my PC (sound only came out of the left earphone) but overall these are great and I'd recommend them if you want something reliable that won't kill your wallet.
I just got the headphones and I have them for a day.
Positive:
- Bass and Kick for the money very good
- Satisfactory volume
- Microphone that beats even headphones over 70€+
- Comfortable in the ears for many hours of gaming, I have small ears and they cover them perfectly and are not tiring at all
- The potentiometer is good and a nice detail is the mute button for the mic on the back of the left side of the headphones
Negative:
- Awkward and problematic software
- It took me 1 hour to find the activation code for the headphones to activate the surround sound 7.1, I had to contact RazerID site support.
For gaming they are very good and precise. Overall, for their price, they are very competitive and I would recommend them to someone who wants something good with little money to spend, a very good suggestion from Razer!
Edit: With Surround Sound 7.1 activated, you have better performance in bass and overall music quality (mainly recommended for trap songs and not just for gaming, but whatever each person wants)
They are very good headphones for gaming, but not for everyday use, as they have a bit too much bass and average everything else. After a while of use, when I take them off, my head hurts a little because they have a strong clamping force (they press on your head from the sides), even though I have tried to loosen them (by keeping them stretched out for a while, "wearing" them in a box). Their cable is also relatively short (~1.2m), so I got another cable to connect them to my PC. They have fallen from my desk to the floor many times and haven't suffered any damage in the 6 months that I have had them, and for the price of 42 euros that I bought them for, I believe they are worth it
An economical choice for a gaming headset from Razer.
Very good sound and satisfactory isolation.
Decent sound on the Mic, comfortable ear cushions, and build material corresponding to its price.
7.1 surround through the application and connects to any device with a 3.5 audio jack port
Overall good headphones, embracing the ear, with pretty good sound quality for both headphones and microphone. For the price they are (42 when I got them) they are great. I no longer do hours of extensive gaming to be able to judge how they are over time but they are quite comfortable in the first few hours of use. The only negative thing I find is that the cable is quite thin and I don't know how it will hold up over time, it definitely needs attention and good handling.
I have had these headphones for about six months. The sound and quality are comparable to the previous razer 7.1. HOWEVER, it is not possible that after such a short period of time, with no mistreatment and continuous use, the microphone stops working and the plug connection is not so stable.
I bought them for general use and not so much for gaming. They have very good bass but lack a bit in the treble. The quality is excellent as well as their fit. After 2 hours of use, they didn't tire me at all. I haven't used the microphone yet, so I can't give an opinion on that.
Extremely good headphones for their price, very comfortable and lightweight. The sound is very clear and powerful, and they perform very well in FPS games. The only negative aspect is their microphone, but overall they offer great value for money!! Headset

I have had these headphones for at least 3-4 years. They still look like new, their construction is very good and they are sturdy. The sound is very good and the price is also low for such good headphones. I have no complaints and it is definitely a product that is worth 100% of its money.
My favorite headphones out of all I have tried so far, definitely among the most comfortable and they seem more durable than those with a plastic frame.
Perfect headset with clear sound, Very good microphone, Sturdy construction and very comfortable on the head even after many hours of use talking on Discord, I highly recommend them, there are no better ones at this price.
After a week of use, I have to say that they are the most value for money headphones on the market. I tried them in CS:GO and could hear exactly where people were coming from. They are amazing for people with small heads.
Edit: Do not use the cable extension if there is no reason because it distorts the sound quality.
I bought them for 55€ from Public, they are average I can say no to the issue of quality but to the issue of sound. They are okay at low volumes but if you want intensity, from the second level it has and as much as you increase it, the sound scratches a lot. The microphone and the insulation you have are very good.
