Used on: PS4 ProThe Good· Extremely Comfortable· Fantastic Audio· Easy to Set Up· Long Battery LifeThe Bad• No audio Jack• Lack of Chat onlyBefore I got my hands on the Razer Thresher I used Sony’s wireless 2.0 headset (Around £50) which I thought were fantastic and one of my concerns was how much better the sound and Mic would be at a cost 3 times this amount.These headphones come nicely packaged and they are a doddle to set up straight out of the packaging. The instruction manual provides pictures which are simple to follow. The receiver that comes with it also has a removable cable which attaches to the receiver and then slots into your consoles optical port which provides your headset with a true surround sound experience.It’s funny that the instructions show the receiver being plugged into the PS4 pro front UBS port however if you do this you will have an unsightly cable trailing around the back where the optical port is. What I recommend (If you don’t use a VR headset) would be to plug it around the back so it’s out of sight although it does get mighty hot back there.The Razer Thresher is a good looking headset, much better in person. The patterns on either ear illuminate blue when they are on which is a nice touch for everyone else in the room but you will never see it. The connection works for around 40 feet (same as my other set) which isn’t long enough if I want to carry on chatting while grabbing a beer from the fridge but when close up I never received any lag.There is a separate volume control for the chat (left) which doubles as a mic-mute button and audio (Right) which doubles as a mute button although the mic volume you won’t know how loud you are without asking the person on the other end. These both let you know when you reach maximum volume with an annoying noise in your ears. I’m not sure about charging time as I leave them on charge when I switch my PS4 on standby but they are meant to last 16 Hours which is perfect.The Sony ones have an option you have chat only which allows me to have sound coming out the headset and the game sounds through your TV (Sound System) and this is done through the controls where the Razer does not have this option, you can mute the audio but it’ all sounds and this is why I have to drop a star. The Sony one lets you just have chat in the headset which allows for better chat with less explosions in your ear. Also when the sound of your game comes through your Sony headset the sound from your system is automatically muted! Although not a problem with the Razer if you just press mute or put your sound down.The headset is very comfortable however I do find my ears getting very hot during long sessions and find I have to remove it for short periods. The build quality also needs mentioning as it feels sturdy and well-built although they are a little heavy.The Mic works as well as the Sony which surprises me as the Razer has a retractable mic and the Sony’s mic is built into the headset. I would have thought that this would have been a huge difference but according to my mate I sound exactly the same.I find games that are first person or driving games the best for surround sound as you are meant to be the character looking into the TV. I used these with Resident Evil 7 which made a terrifying experience even worse. The sounds of banging windows, footsteps, voices and creaking floorboard were coming from all around me and had me on edge. A brilliant gaming experience I wish I had VR to top it off.I also used these with GTSport and again the sounds from vehicles behind and to the side really enhanced my gaming experience.There is a noticeable difference in sound quality over the Sony PS4 headset, the Razer has justified its price tag in my opinion however the having a retractable mic when a built in one works just as well seems a little pointless to me althoughI guess you could whisper easier if the mic is right there.I would also like to point out that my headset has automatically turned itself off but this has only happened once so far. The lack of chat only is my only issue, I sometimes like a conversation with my friend while gaming and I can barely hear him when I have both game audio and chat coming through the same set.I try to review these products as best as I can but always open to comments and will add anything I discover with more use or if anyone points something out to me.

Note: To get the most out of this headset, you will need an optical output port on your PS4; this port can only be found on the original PS4's and PS4 Pro; the PS4 Slim models do not have it.Whilst this issue is directly at fault of Sony for removing such a useful port, Razer should be more specific in their marketing.This headset CAN still be used with the Slim versions, it's just you won't be getting the full experience due to using just the USB dongle.- - - - -The Razer Thresher has a pretty decent build and a reasonable weight to it. The plastic construction on the earcups don't feel typically cheap and the exposed wiring is braided for extra durability.The headband has an interesting suspension styled adjustment for fitting than clicking into place and it's balanced rather well,so that when placed on your head, it simply fits into place avoiding any faffing around, plus there is not too much resistance so it doesn't feel like it's tugging at the ears.As for the ear cushions, extremely soft which is much welcomed from a glasses wearer. To date, these are quite simply the most comfortable headset I've worn with several hours of continuous use.Set-up is very simple, with an included manual that is super clear on how to get it running.The headset has decent and easy to use controls, such as quick muting your microphone, activating voice monitoring (sidetone), adjusting game volume and even muting the game volume.Though there is one thing I don't like about one of the controls on the headset; there is no chat volume wheel, in fact it's designated to adjust YOUR microphone volume. There is no need for this as you can adjust your microphone sensitivity upon set up. If someone in my party is making a racket, I want to be able to quickly decrease the volume I'm hearing,not what they're hearing.Microphone quality is reasonable to the point your understandable, however I found Turtle Beaches Stealth 600 to be much superior and that headset is half the price of this one.Audio quality overall is well balanced, nice and clear making the gaming or listening to music experience, positive. Downside is there are no internal sound profiles, so that may bother some people.✔ Pros:✓ Decent build.✓ Extremely comfortable.✓ Easy to set up and use.✓ Good audio quality.✖ Cons:✘ No designated chat volume control.✘ Average microphone.

This Razer Thresher headset is a new 7.1 gaming headset offering targeted at PS4 gamers (or indeed PC gamers) who want a quality headset offering.They come solidly packaged in cardboard. The package contains the headset, a USB charging cable, a dongle for connection to PS4 or PC and an optical adapter cable that allows you to stream your PS4's Optical output to the dongle.The package comes with easy to follow instructions and set-up is simple: plug in the USB dongle, the optical cable and then the charging cable to charge them. Once you are ready to go there are clear instruction on how to out the surround settings correctly from the PS4 and it's then all ready to play.I have tested theseagainst some other headsets I use including a couple of different Turtle Beaches and a couple of Logitechs and can safely say the sound quality (to me, though i openly admit to not being an audiophile) on this is very good indeed and up there with the best of them (if not slightly better). The sound is crystal clear, the mix is good, not too bassy but deep enough and, from what i am told, voice is also crystal clear when in a multi-player or chat session. For chat there is a retractable mic, a feature i particularly like as i don't use it that much and it keeps it protected and out of the way when not in use.I've tested these with some Blu-Rays, some music and a couple of games including Senuas Sacrifice. The latter in particular was a fantastic choice as it makes heavy use of directional sound to create an ASMR effect and to give the impression of "voices in your head". The absolutely crystal clear voice, alongside clear but well balanced sound effects and lovely sound really showed off how good the sound quality of this set is.Overall I'm happy to heap praise on these. They're going to become by goto for the PS4. They're solid, they're comfortable and they sound stunning.

This is by far one of the best in gaming headsets says our teenage son. Compared to the Turtle Beach one so much better in terms of sound quality and durability. The mic allows you to speak whilst playing. Saying that though with the headset giving such noise cutting out son tends to end up shouting a lot louder than he realises when using it. Much quieter when he’s not on PlayStation 4 and on another device. Have to go into other room and tell to be a bit quieter. Now this is a few months old and has had constant use (he tends to use it everyday for an hour or two, holidays and weekends more so). The mic is still attached (previous TB one didn’t last that long until it came off and that with son not being heavy handed either.Wireless so when he gets really into the game can move around plus making it easer no wires to trip over or get sucked into Hoover. He likes the blue lights when lit up in use. When he saw these that was it didn’t see him for ages but did hear him. The way he raves about these as no interference on tv from any other devices either is almost like these are the Rolls Royce of wireless headphones. Comfy wise when I asked, his reply was something along the lines of “wouldn’t be wearing them for so long if not, they sort of hug yours ears in a comfy way”. Never heard headphones described as that but this is coming from a teenage lad.

Ok, I admit I’m being picky here, but for the price these go for I don’t think that’s being unreasonable.First the good bits – they’re are beautifully packaged, and the headphones themselves are very nicely made, extremely comfortable with soft padding and good articulation. Sound quality is very good as is the surround sound, which can be a real bonus in online games (especially free-for-all and one-on-one games), they also works well with movies, and an over ear design you’re well isolated from other sounds (although they can get a bit warm after a while).And the not-so-good bits – in fairness there’s not really anything bad about the Razer Thresher 7.1’s,but there are a few irritations.The pull-out coil mic has to be manually turned off each time if you don’t want to use it (a boom mic can just be pushed up to deactivate), although the tip does light up to indicate when it’s off. And with the mic coiled into the headset it can rattle against the body which can be distracting.The USB dongle needs to be connected to your PS4 optical out port (a special cable is supplied), but if you’re already using the optical port (to an AV amp for example) then you’ll need to buy a splitter.So while the Razer Thresher’s are very good a what they do, they are expensive and they come with a few compromises.

Its tough to review these after so many reviews, without parroting what has been previously said.I did put 'at a great price' in the tagline, because, £150 is sort of the price you would expect to pay for a good gaming headset, cheaper ones just dont cut it. Especially the cheaper wireless onesI have previously had Tritton AX Pros(and still do, sellotaped together, after years of using and abusing them) as my main gaming headset for my PS4. The sound from that headset is incredible. So the bar is set pretty high.The sound from these is good. Especially the surround sound/directional sound when playing shooters,nice deep base, but not over powering.These fit well(even with glasses on) when in use,due to the soft ear cups. They are also comfortable when rested over the neck due to the twisting ear cups which rest flat on your front shoulders.You are heard nice and clearly by friends online, via the inbuilt mic, which is a great, and bendy. You can bend any any direction you want, and it holds its position, then can move it back to its housing without any issues at all. When the mic is muted, the tip glows red, which is visible when wearing he headset, but not distracting.A great headset, recommended for any gamers out there looking for a wireless headset.

These headphones are a bit more of a job to set up than most as they need an optical connection from the rear of the PS4 to the dongle to get the full surround. This also means that you will not get full surround unless the device you are connecting to has an optical output so if you are buying these for a PC then check carefully.The instructions are clear and easy to understand with screen shots of the relevant screens from the PS4 to help with the setup. All cables are included and are of a very good quality, as is the build quality of the headphones themselves.In use I found the sound to be good for gaming but not the best I have heard. The surround works very well depending upon the support from your game and adds a lot of atmosphere.In multiplayer shooters it can give you an edge as you can sometimes hear an enemy long before you see them. There is lots of midrange and highs but I find the bass a bit lacking. The microphone is good.They are reasonably comfortable but the vinyl ear cups did mean I got a bit hot after a while.Overall I like these phones. The audio quality could be better but the surround sound works very well. Just check that these are compatible if you are considering them for anything other than a PS4.

I love this headset They're comfortable even with glasses.I don't own a ps4. But I do have a Nintendo Switch, which has recently had an update that enables the use of USB headsets, including those for the ps4. Unfortunately, these aren't compatible with the Switch.On the other hand, they work seamlessly with my Windows 10 pc. Sort of.They sound great in stereo mode, great bass for gaming and no noticeable lag. On the other hand, surround sound mode is a little harder to set up For this you need to install either Microsofts virtual surround sound codec or buy Dolby Atmos codes. I tried the former. In use, it's not overly impressive. I could hardly tell the difference, but if I listened carefully,I could tell that some of the sounds were coming from the rear left or right. I didn't hear anything from directly behind.The microphone is excellent. Slightly tinny, but easy to position. The fact that it's retractable is an added bonus.I am going to try these with Atmos. It's a pity that it doesn't come free given the price of these. That said, it's not expensive. Once I've had the chance to test them with Atmos, I'll update this review.

Purchased this gaming headset after reading many reviews and watching YouTube videos.I needed a specific headset which:- Wireless- PC And PS4 compatible- Surround Sound for PS4This headset ticks all those boxes, remember for the 7.1 audio this only works on PS4 as you need to plug in the aux cable.The USB receiver is nice and small and allows me to switch between my PC and PS4 effortlessly.I find the battery life is very good and the sound is amazing. I usually use the headset for gaming sessions between 2 - 4 hrs. I would say they are comfortable up to 3 hrs, after this I do feel abit of warmth on my ears so take them off for a short break.The audio I need to tell you more,when gaming on the PS4 (and connected to the aux cable) I play mainly COD - the sound is soo good I can hear exactly where spy plans are in the air, I can hear directions of footsteps and this without doubt has allowed me to have an advantage vs non surround sound headsets.The supplied charging cable (micro USB) is long and is fantastic braided quality.If you are after a gaming headset with the same requirements as my above, look no further!

Lightweight and very comfortable, which means you will be happy wearing them for extended sessions, without which the sound would be irrelevant. However the sound is VERY good - admittedly I am only comparing with the cheap generic gaming headset, so it was always going to be a step-up.Connectivity is simple, and they are (so far at least) robust enough for the annoying habits of my children (i.e. leave them on the floor). The stowaway mic is a nice touch.The have plenty of charge although I am waiting for someone to invest the rechargeable anything that gets around the problem of children just dumping them and relying on the recharge faeries.Are they worth £150? Dunno. But they look, feel,sound and behave like premium gear.

There is a certain quality when you give someone a gift and their eyes light up as they open it. If you are fortunate enough to get this (and perhaps this review will be enough to motivate you to buy it for someone) then this product is excellent.As you open the box, the quality is clear, as is the attention to detail. The headset itself is comfortable, and with a soft headband it does not feel uncomfortable after extended wearing. Sound quality is superb, and the microphone neatly hides away. They are wireless and charge via USB.I can't quite explain it but I found myself completely immersed in the games I tested this on. Sound is clear without being tinny, enveloping without too much bass.I just think this product is great.

These are fabulous headphones. Everything about them screams class. Well, everything but the price. Seriousl, I have headphones that cost at least £100 more that don’t feel as well made as these. Right out of the box I was impressed. The packaging is quality with the headphones and the wireless dongle presented in pre-cut foam. The headphones are light, but feel really well made with a heavily padded head band, separate from the metal connecting band and the ear pads are made of possibly the softest material I’ve ever felt.I love the retractable microphone it’s classily, geekily, subtle and the sound quality is just amazing. Every click and word is ultra clear; ever explosion mind bashing.Really,if could give six stars I would.

Sounds great! Love the 7.1 and the next level sound that you turn on as an option. Can hear my surroundings in game. Playing COD is the best thing. Can hear my own voice if I turn the function on. Wish they use the ear pads on the Kraken which is way cooler feel, as this can get warmer when you do longer gaming. Comfy at most times but also can be discomfort at some sessions. On top and on ear pads. Good to have the red light to shows it’s on mute mic. Great wireless, good for going to place in the room when you are waiting for the game to start. Good to stretch your legs. Battery life is okay. But make sure to charge it if you are doing a long gaming. Or you may have to charge it when playing,which I had to do. Which sucks!

Lovely sturdy and well built headphones which feel really comfy over my ears and round my head, the mouthpiece doesn't get in the way, which I have found with other sets, its all very comfortable. Connectively to unit is excellent and the charge is very good, they lasted for an afternoon play for us. Sound quality is really fab making these, in my opinion, one of best sets out there in this price range, although I have tried higher end but frankly with these there is no need to spend even more as these feel good, and feel high end. The mic is good as friends have told me that I sound crystal clear their end and they sound amazing my end.All in all these are truly very good quality and highly recommended headphones.

With whacking great cans big enough to fit over even Dumbo’s ears, these wireless headphones should be an easy fit for anyone’s head, and comfort shouldn’t be an issue for anyone. Compatible with both PS4 & PC, set up is so easy that they’re pretty much plug in and play.Sound quality is as good as you’d expect for the price range, although these Threshers are aimed squarely at the gaming market. The boom mic is fully retractable, so unlike an arm it never gets in the way when not in use.All in all these are very good quality for the price range, although when I say they’re big I do mean BIG. Which is great for comfort and noise cancellation,but you won’t be winning any fashion awards for wearing them.
