Razer Man O'War - The best wireless gaming headset?

2016-08-28
the Rhine a heap of good wireless headsets going around and if I'm honest the cabling on my headset is the most annoying of the lot I couldn't care less about having a wireless keyboard as it never moves and I happily use a wired mouse to the cable of my headsets constantly in the way today I'm taking a look at raises new solution to all my life's problems the mantel wall as always this is another Razer product with a good-looking design I think they're good-looking anyway and if you don't like the way these look then you probably hate all of razor's products the headset is black all around with a simple inclusion of razor's logo on the side of the ear cards which are really quite massive and chunky in a good way I say in a good way because this means they're big enough to fit around my ears and they're full of super comfy padding that's wrapped in a nice soft leather ette there's a nice thick headband too which does a good job of spreading the way evenly over your head and is easily adjusted for different head sizes with a standard slide on either side quality hinges at the end allow a 90 degree swivel which I find super handy for placing the headset down on my desk and also for hanging around my neck comfortably the mic is retractable too and slides back to the right ear card when not in use there's volume wheels on both sides too on the right hand side you can mute and adjust the mic pick up volume and on the left side you can adjust the headsets volume the mic features an LED indicator that lights up when it's muted - which should help prevent you from having accidental long conversations with yourself very cool indeed very cleverly behind the mic volume wheel is the pop-out dongle which plugs into your PC or console via USB the range and wireless performance of this headset was truly excellent and I could walk two rooms away with the mom without interrupted music those the have issues though razer has included USB extension for the receiver - which itself has a pretty cool design the implementation of RGB lighting on the Manowar is impressive - the razer logos on the ear cups light up and you've got sixteen point eight million colors to choose from as per usual within the razer synapse software you can choose from a few different standard lighting effects also I found the Manowar super comfortable thanks to the lightweight and excellent padding I expected a wireless headset with a supposed seven day battery to be a bit weighty but it's they weigh just 375 grams which isn't even bad for a wired headset as the headset interfaces digitally we get the inclusion of virtual 7.1 surround sound and I was impressed with the quality and directional sense I got these headphones offer a pretty wide soundstage which really helped in this department too the drivers are fifty millimeters with neodymium magnets and they offered sound that was easily good enough for gaming and sounded good for music and movies too all sound ranges were satisfactory and I didn't notice any real strengths or weaknesses the battery is advertised to last 14 hours and you can gain an additional 6 hours by turning off the IDB light which I did immediately since I didn't get to see them and no one's watching me game here's a mic test for those interested too it sounds quite good and will definitely suit in-game chat and Skype Razer synapse software of course accompanies the Man O'War and here you can customize the lining is mentioned fine-tune surround sound customize the audio with an equalizer and apply quick effects such as bass boost and voice clarity you can also set profiles for different apps too which is a useful touch lastly you can enable volume normalization and ambient noise reduction on the mark which are both handy especially if you're chatting in loud environments all up the razor Manowar is a really great wireless headset first of all the sound and comfortable in and I view this is the most important factors excellent features like RGB lighting are there too for those that like it and the dual volume wheels are handy also I like that a charge is simply through the standard microUSB and razer synapse software as great as always it's only a shame that there's no analog connector for smartphones or other devices the don't feature USB otherwise these could be arguably the best gaming headset going around if you don't mind the chunky design and a 170 US dollar or 240 Australian dollar price tag these could certainly be the wireless headset for you what do you guys think do you know of any other awesome wireless headsets let me know in the comments I'm your host Matt as always and I'll see you guys next time youtubers like me depend on your support to continue improving the quality and content of our videos to support the channel directly consider becoming a patron to also get access to a heap of cool rewards and exclusive giveaways also don't forget you can check prices and buy the products I looked at in this video through the Amazon links in the video just option below thank you kindly for supporting me and the hardware on box channel it means a lot to me and I really do appreciate it and in return I'll continue to work as hard as I can to keep producing the content you enjoy
