Its'a shame, Poor quality Builds , Poor Audio , nothing ( immersive here with this ones , so avoid if youre planning buy for audio. Mic cheap build , but good sound when talking( im not sure with the fiability , 6month im pretty sure mic will start to be problem.. thats my guess cuz so cheap.) im from Razer BlackShark v2 pro and nothing comparable here , better mic/better audio in all aspects , Bluetooth doesnt worthg it with nova 5 cheap too .. so Nova5 its a budget headphone thats it. if you want spent 200$ on headphone avoid this ones dont worth the prices. im really disapointed . 2/10 for nova 5. im sending them back to get back my blackshark back or kraken v3 who know. Ps: so headache for nothing. Go Razer plug and enjoys. Keyboard/mousse SteelSeries is still my way to go tho ! also\* Hyercloud x2 get better Audio for quality too so dont buy nova 5 you will still be disapointed.

Using Razer kraken 7.1 since 2021. It has a cold gel ear cushion & mostly I use it for long sessions because of gaming & sound enhancement. Except the leather everything is pretty fine & still works perfectly. I don't know much about Logitech but you can go with the hyperx series if it comes under 5k. The only downside is it doesn't have a retractable mic ( cloud stinger x ) which can be pretty annoying if you want a clean headphone look Sennheiser hd400s is under 5k now. It has a pretty decent sound range also, So you can check that out too.

Don't get the usb version.. the type is prone to break easily.. also the driver size is small ( around 40 mm) Instead try to get the kraken v3 which has 50mm driver size which can deliver better sound quality , mic quality & also support spatial audio support. The cable is braided. Also it comes with a usb A version & you can get a dongle for around 250 if you wanna use it on your phone or any tablet you have. Also you can easily detach the microphone from the headphone if you want a clean look.

They are fine, I went from the razer V3 to these, and honestly, I prefer the logitechs. The razer had better overall sound, not by much, but the build quality sucked.

None of em. All overpriced. I have Razer Kraken for like half the price.

Razor Kraken is good Edit: whatever you can't win on Reddit I give up. Every post I try to post I'm not allowed to talk in the comments because of bad karma and the ones that I am allowed to talk in everybody always gives me negative reviews no matter what I say. I'm sorry I can't afford beats by Dre but if you're looking in the $50 tier The kraken is a good headset I've owned one now for over 2 years and it's just fine for playing call of duty it has good base and good quality microphone but yeah if you're going to compare it to some $400 headset probably not

The Xbox wireless headset is the best gaming headset I've had. I prefer it over my Razer Kraken or Turtle Beach

Yeah Reddit is weird sometimes but seriously sound is a very important aspect in hunt, way more compared to other online fps. Main reason is, that a lot of sound cues gives you crucial information about your enemies - and based on that information you make decisions about movement, positioning etc. Without the valuable knowledge from the audio it’s almost as if you’d play blind. Even a set a cheap razer krakens will do the job. I personally bought the mmx 300 mostly for hunt.
