Razer Chimaera - Pros & Cons

crisp
clear sound reproduction and a clean split between music and voice
Setting up the headsets were fairly straightforward
solid bass reproduction as well as excellent highs and mid-range
the packaging is beautiful
crisp
clear voice reproduction and minimal background noise
The sound is amazing and of high quality
overall look of the headset and the charging base station is really nice and elegant

the microphone does not seem to function
poor non-combatants that are paying a high price as collateral damage
Without an extensive side-by-side comparison
You still have to use a cable to connect the microphone to the Xbox controller
too old and slow to do well at the FPS twitchers or
take long for them to become uncomfortable
that lacks a microphone
No connection troubles were noticed
Razer Chimaera adapter does not believe in the same ideals
The detachable panel for the batteries was also a bit of a pain
it the cool logo embossed in an off-kilter way
is wireless there are no in-line controls
There s not even an info about this on Razer s site
the sounds of the action came to live as bullets and explosions rattled around my ears
Gaming consoles are not in everyone s home
how does it connect to the PC for the Mic to work
no USB connection
lack of any virtual surround software
