RAZER Star Wars: The Old Republic Gaming Headset

Pros: Good Sound Quality.
Good Mic Quality.
Good Cable.

Cons: The plastic on it is very very cheap and it ended up just breaking in pieces on me in 5 months. I sent it in for an RMA and they blamed me for there cheap product and will not replace it. I will never buy another razer product from them again if they wont man up to a defunct product of theres.

Other Thoughts: Do not buy save your money and buy another headset from another company that wont blame you for there cheap made product.

Pros: A great headset with super clear sound, after installing Synapse 2.0 and working with it it is the best headset I have ever owned. The mic is super responsive and does great at filtering background noise. When i look at the mic in the recording panel the sound input jumps 2 bars and it sounds like you are talking directly to a person. The lights and interchangeable side panels just add to the awesomeness

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I read many reviews complaining about issues with the mic or sound quality and after trying i can say that none of them are true, at least in my experience.

Pros: The speakers are ok

Cons: Mic continually dies and requires unplugging and replugging to get it to work again.

Pros: If this is anything like the mouse uninstall the razer software and reset all the drivers back to stock... i have the swtor mouse and every time id restart my computer when i pressed and of the 12 buttons on the side it would restart my computer... bluw screen of death style scrash.. i did what i said and i havnt had any issues what so ever... get did of that razor syn trash its just buggy

Cons: razor

Pros: Solid fitting design. Audio quality is great.

Cons: Noticed a little static when audio levels were at 50% or higher.

Pros: The sound clarity is amazing. The quality is outstanding, best razer headset to date! I have owned multiple razer headsets including a few newer headsets and NONE of them compare to this in comfort or sound quality.

Cons: the razer synapse 2.0 software is buggy, but it is still in beta.

Pros: The pro.. sound quality and placement of headset controls.

Cons: No carrying case. Why pay more than for the Megalodon and not get a carrying case? Color changing only changes the lights at the bottom of the headset. Why doesn't it change the side emblems as well? Seriously tight on your head. This thing causes me headaches on a regular basis. Short cord length for connection.

Other Thoughts: If you have the choice, you should pass on this product. The Megalodon is a much better and comfortable product. I own both, and I will not be using these this headset unless something happens to the Megalodon.

Pros: They look good, and the pro logic works well to simulate surround sound. It is still simulated though.

Cons: 1. I am experiencing the same static over Ventrilo that other reviewers are experiencing. The headset also randomly disconnects for absolutely no reason. For such an expensive headset I truly feel they are not quality.

2. The headset requires you install razer synapse. This is in no way better than simply installing drivers, and forces you to connect to razer each time you restart your computer to get your drivers functioning. Really?

3. No razer support for the headphones, or at least nothing that is easy to access. Why is keeping a USB headset connected and not having it produce static so difficult?

Pros: The sound quality is amazing and works well. Razer synapse 2.0 works well holding all your information on a profile. The settings for 7.1 is easy to manage but sometimes you have to go to the sound settings and choose as your default system. The mic is very sensitive but blocks a lot of outside sound, highly recommend.

Cons: Could be cheaper and sometimes you have to press the back button on the left for the mic to be heard. Sometimes it starts on mute.

Other Thoughts: If you are looking for a cheaper pc headset, the yapster blaster is the best choice for price.

Pros: It is star wars branded and When it works it works very very well. I actually heard noises in games that I had no idea were even there. The Braided Cord is very stiff and you can tell that they spent some time on this product.

Cons: Windows 7 will often not see the headset upon a restart. Razer says to fix this I need to change MY power setting to work with THEIR product. I am having the same issues the guy above me is having except that I can get it to Work with Ventrilo but at times I will get that static noise going through to them. I have not had any issues at all with the Mic going haywire though. I am now on SWTOR (12) as far as my computer is concerned meaning I have lost the connection to the headset in windows 7 11 times in a little over a month.

Unfortunately I purchased these Mid December and am now 3 days out of the ability to return them to Newegg. Guess I have a pretty expensive Target when I go out to the range next.

Razer has a very BAD support team as in non existent.

Other Thoughts: The Lights on the side are to dim even at the fullest bright setting to be seen by anyone wearing the headset even in darkened room.

This is the 2nd Item I have purchased from Razer that I have had major issues with. It is also the last item I will ever purchase from Razer.
