Nari Ultimate

Razer Nari has been amazing for me. My brother in law gifted them to me cuz he was tired of seeing me roll my cheap Walmart headsets. I can't go back.

Turtle Beach XP500s (call of duty version called Ear Force Delta) I had sounded great for audio and mic. They just got old, I think the base station died. Astro A40s sounded pretty good for audio and mic. Something internal to the headset broke so I had no mic audio anymore. I did have to RMA the original mic. Razer Nari Ultimate sounded great for audio and mic. After years of use the headband broke, entirely due to how I would put them on and take them off.

I would argue the exact opposite. Only really used wireless for the last 10 years and have been fine. Some games I've played a ton are CSGO, Siege, every Battlefield, every cod up before Black Ops 4, Halos, Gears of War 4-Ultimate reloaded and more I can't think of. Chatting with friends while playing is a huge thing for me and it always has to be wireless. I need headsets that I can change the game/chat mix on the fly with and my last two mains were the Razer Nari Ult and SteelSeries nova pro wireless. Obviously everyone's hearing is different and everyone will have different preferences, but for siege I can say both those headsets are good. For example you brought up tinkering with settings, and I have never done that on any headset I have ever owned except for turning off a lot of quirky features on the SteelSeries.

When I got my brand new Nari ultimates out if the box, the clips in that area were already broken. Absolute bullsh*t the build quality of these things

I've tried and have (almost?) all currently available haptics headsets, here's my two cents: >**Razer Kraken v3 haptic/ pro if you want wireless/**: The kraken v3 is alright. Worse haptics than the nari in my opinion. If you go for them I'd get the wired version over the wireless. The wireless has the most annoying low battery notification on the planet - it beeps at you every single minute when the battery is low (25% i think) which is unbearable for me. >**Razer Nari Ultimate (if you want wireless and can get it in good condition second hand)**: The nari is still the best thing I've ever used in terms of comfort. The sound quality and the battery life are pretty meh. Fortunately there are tutorials on how to replace/upgrade the battery. I bought them on launch, sold them a year later because I decided to get rid of all my razer peripherals, bought it again second hand on amazon in 2023, because it is just so good, lol. >**Corsair HS60 Haptic if you want wired, but not razer:** The HS60 is alright. Probably a bit better sound quality than the kraken v3 and nari. Nothing to write home about though. You gotta customize your EQ in iCUE if you go for it though, the flat EQ is horrible, as is on all the others I mentioned, lol. >**Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2:** If you want bluetooth (latency is noticeable during games so it's only good for youtube/music), you can use it wired for gaming (still have to turn it on for the haptics). It is my bluetooth go-to for the gym. Good battery life, alright audio quality and massive haptics. I also use it on my PC (via bluetooth) sometimes when I listen to music and I don't want to drain the Nari. If you don't want wireless I'd honestly go for whatever is the cheapest. I can't tell you anything about the microphones on these headsets as I have a dedicated mic I use. Ps. I've also tried the Kraken v4 pro in a razer store and they felt quite heavy, but with good build quality. The audio and haptics were alright for the short period of time I could use it, but the haptics options in synapse 4 made no noticeable difference to me. Probably gonna have to cough a few hundred $ and buy it to test further, but god damn it's stupidly overpriced. And I'll probably still like it less than the nari lol. Good luck.

Had best of both world with razer nari ultimates. all that came after those were kinda ass.. too bad they dont make em anymore..

I'd been looking at the audeze Maxwells, but the560g weight has kept me away. I loved my Razer Nari Ultimate, but they're too heavy and make my neck sore. Just looked and the pc38x only weigh 290 grams, so it's definitely in my top contender spot for now, just wish there was a light weight wireless option.
