hey how's it gone Dave 2d here so razor just launched a new line of headphones the nari headphones and this one here is the nari ultimate it's their top the line one and this is a product that does stuff I've never seen headphones do before so a while ago they hit me up they're like hey we got some headphones we can actually feel the game that you're playing you can feel the music that you're listening to you can feel the movies you're watching and I was like show me show me how this works because this actually sounds pretty cool so I've had these for about a week and it does some of the stuff that razer claims it will do but at the same time it's a bit of a miss in some other areas now first things first this is a pre-production or kind of like an engineering sample so some of the experience that I had with this particular product may not be the same in the retail version I feel like the retail version would probably a more refined version of this but I feel like I got a pretty good sample of what this product will be like it's pretty well built metal headband but the yokes are plastic and I would have liked to have seen metal yokes on a product like this just like a flagship headset from Razer I understand they might have used plastic to keep the weight down and it's not a poorly made plastic or anything but metal would have been nice the ear cups are plastic as well and then the ear cushions are really comfortable there's foam on the inside gel padded to keep things cooler and it looks like there's a cut out for people who are glasses so if you have any kind of eyewear the arm of your frame will kind of sit through that slot to make things a little bit more comfortable the fit of this thing is very razor like to me like these actually feel very similar on my head compared to the older Kraken but it doesn't have a user adjustable headband it just automatically adjusts your head depending on the size okay so it's Wireless it has a dongle it has RGB lighting but the main feature of the nari ultimate is the haptic feedback now Razer is calling it hyper sense and the difference between this kind of haptic feedback compared to the older stuff is that supposedly it activates on a wider spectrum of frequencies you don't have to program anything it just automatically detects the sound going through the drivers and it'll activate the haptic response and this will work wirelessly or through the analog cable that's connected with the 3.5 millimeter jack so this is a product that should theoretically work with any kind of device out there and well from what I've tested it does now here's the real know how good is it right like how good is this especially for gaming and well for some games it's awesome and for other games it's less awesome so let me explain when you have a multiplayer game with a ton of sound effects and a ton of players I've just actively going ham at the same spot at the same time it can get a little overwhelming so something like overwatch there's just a lot of stuff happening at once 5v5 like 10 players in a match and when there's a teamfight there's a ton of sound effects going on there's guns there's explosions there's voice lines from the different characters there's just a lot of sound and the vibrations from the headphones can get a little bit distracting and you have music on top of that it's like sensory overload but there are other games even multiplayer games where it's not as crazy like 4th night or csgo or Rainbow six siege where there aren't like tons of sound effects happening at the same time in games like that this is an awesome experience I got a little sound cues you just feel like you feel the vibration you feel the feedback you have better positional audio of where the players are and what things are happening it's really cool now it's hard to describe because it's not just vibrations in your ear like the strength or the intensity of the vibration will kind of change depending on the sound or the type of sound I'm not sure exactly how the software does it but it doesn't just feel like some cheesy vibration the haptic kind of like amplifies the sound and just makes it feel more visceral while you're playing and then there's other games that are more environmentally based like subnautica or tomb raider we're just in these massive environments and the sound effects in those games are very deliberate right like you may hear a groan from a monster or your steps or your weapons all very deliberate and clean sounds and in games like these the hyper sense really adds that whole immersion effect so what else is a good at for certain movies he's hurt awesome it's like your own personal sub like action moves in particular there's usually big sound effects that accompany strong visuals and it's just a really cool experience on these headphones and the same thing with music like certain kinds of music especially bass heavy stuff just feels and sounds awesome on these it's a really cool experience now there are certain types of music and certain movies and kind of shows that don't work that well with this like classical music sounds and feels really weird with these it's just not a good fit and same with certain videos like if you're just watching a YouTube video and person on the screen is just talking really loud like if you're watching Lou from unbox therapy and his volume just goes up a little bit these things will start to vibrate it's just a little bit strange but you can turn it off in the software right you have pretty decent control of the haptics in their software so you have that option here's my take on these they are not cheap these are $200 which is a lot of money for any kind of headphones but if you consider what these do if you compared to just other products on the market they may not be the best sounding headphones out there but they delivered an experience that is completely unique like I've never experienced haptics like this on any headphones they bring a certain element of just immersion to the game's immersion to movies and that's cool that's unique I think that if I was on the market for sound of high-end gaming headphones I would strongly consider these I wouldn't get these if you just want like the absolute best in sound quality you're probably gonna find something else for this kind of price that has like better sound quality but the experience is unique and I think it's definitely worth checking out one thing I don't love about them is the battery life so these are rated for eight hours which is okay but the thing is if you play a lot of games where you watch stuff a lot and you use the haptics frequently that's the eight hours is for if you're using RGB lighting with the haptic feedback and I was actually getting around a little bit over eight hours actually for my testing but that means you have to charge this thing really frequently if you don't like if you kind of forget to charge one night you want to play you lose out on the haptic switch is a bit of a bummer eight hours it's kind of on the edge of what I would consider a long battery life it's kind of I'd say it's short actually for headphones okay hope you guys enjoyed this video thumbs if you liked it something you loved it see you guys next time
