Razer Carcharias Professional PC gaming headset

Razer’s Carcharias delivers a solid audio experience when gaming and can keep its own when going up against dedicated music headsets, at least in terms of volume and bass levels. We also loved its super long tangle-free audio cable that even allowed us...

Razer Carcharias Review

Comfortable, affordable and capable of brilliant sound, the Carcharias is a great gaming headset.

If you've got a decent sound card and want the best gaming headset to plug into it, the Carcharias is our firm favourite. The Crarcharias doesn't have a booming bassline, but deals with low-level bass sounds in a more sophisticated way which isn't...

Light and comfortable, felt ear-pads limit fatigue, good sound quality for gaming

Unnecessarily bulky volume control, microphone not very flexible, sound leaks easily

The Razer Carcharias is a headset aimed at gaming enthusiasts, with good sound quality and a noise-cancelling microphone. This gaming headset is light and easy to wear for long periods. Apart from a few small annoyances, the Razer Carcharias is a very...

Razer Carcharias Gaming Headset (Black) review

We've recently looked at various PC headsets, all of which boast their own unique individual features. The Able Planet PS500MM successfully provided us with more audio information when played at a lower level, while both the Creative Digital Wireless...

Provides a thick, rich sound; very comfortable; solid mic performance; great for gaming, music, VoIP chatting; lightweight; extra-long cable.

Boom mic isn't as adjustable as we would have liked.

The Carcharias is by far the most comfortable, best-sounding PC gaming headset we've tested in a while.

Good sound quality ; Low Price ; Sleek, uniform look

Does not isolate well

Good job, Razer!

Razer Carcharias Gaming Headset

Old school, non "gamer" design. Comfortable ear pads. Braided fibre cable. Noise-cancelling microphone.

Can be a sweat farm. A bit bass-heavy.

Gamers who want uber-flashy gaming headphones won't like the oddly named Carcharias, but those who don't want to glow in the dark will.

Razer Carcharias

The Razer Carcharias has a lot to offer for $80.

Good sound quality.; Low Price.; Sleek, uniform look

Does not isolate well

Overall, the Razer Carcharias is about everything you could ask a gaming headset to be, and it doesn’t break the bank. While many companies offer ultra-premium headsets for upwards of $150, the Razer Carcharias holds its own at a price point that’s far...

Razer Carcharias

Razer's Carcharias is a sturdy headset, with a flip-down microphone that doesn't seem easily breakable, and big, soft ear cups for comfort.
