Highlights of this headset for me:
- Sound is good. Rich, good positional audio, nice tweaks in Razer Synapse and great for music, gaming and whatever
- 3.5mm and Wireless connections mean it's easy to use with most things
- Large earcups are comfortable to wear
- Large headband is perfect for big noggins
- No fuss design
Lowlights:
- Mic quality is seriously compressed
- No USB-C or Bluetooth connection options
- Design is rather in-your-face despite lack of RGB
- Earcup material is scratchy and uncomfortable
- Wireless signal disconnects easily over a short distance
