Headphones are in-ear, overhead, full-size… the range is such that everyone can choose their device according to their liking. But everything changes when it comes about gaming headphones: this is a whole separate category of audio devices, which often defies the understanding of the “classic” audiophile. Why? But let’s look on example wireless gaming headset Razer ManO’War.
I have to say: the equipment like ManO’War is clearly not suitable for sophisticated music lovers. And the goal of the Razer in the making of these headphones was not a perfectly crafted scene, or accurate sound reproduction. The device was designed primarily to meet the needs of gamers and help them “pump” in games where sound is considered to be one of the main components. In the same Counter Strike a lot depends on will hear you in time steps or the sound of enemy weapons.
So in this review you will see graphs with the frequency response, titanium 40-mm drivers, and other heritage audiophiles. We’ll just see if the company that specializiruetsya of the gaming equipment, to produce a decent experienced gamers headphones.
Equipment
The headset comes in the signature black and green box, green has long been a “quality mark” Razer. Inside the headset, charging cable, USB extension cable, documentation and… stickers. Gamers like stickers, right?
For gaming headphone the kit has everything you need, even a little more. You ask — and where, in fact, the microphone, because it is a headset? How to the computer to connect? Now tell.
Appearance
ManO’War made mostly of matte plastic — sometimes, of course, skips “glossy”, but it is not so noticeable. The first thing to note is the author’s led backlight Razer — it is located on the cups and glows one of the colors from the available palette. The backlight is bright, but looks very nice, you can choose one of three modes. The part really looks spectacular.
On the left Cup is the switch in the headphone, micro-USB port for charging, led light and retractable flexible microphone. It’s very convenient because you can quickly remove it, for example, if you play alone and communicate with team members is not necessary. In the right Cup — detachable USB adapter with which the headset is connected to your computer. It is possible, for example, to connect to the extender, and the last by the computer.
Externally, the headset looks not just big, but just huge — this Cup is now rare to see on conventional headphones. Nevertheless weighs the whole structure is only 375 grams, so the head sits perfectly, anything anywhere does not press, ears do not sweat, although the ear cups and the inside of the headband is made of soft synthetic leather. Bowls have an impressive rotation, also the design is adjustable in length due to the controls on the headband.
Design is clear that this headset is designed exclusively for gamers — ideally those that travel a lot for eSports, they branded the backlight on the Razer will be appreciated by all. “Wrapper” is beautiful, but what do we have inside?

Sound Razer ManO’War answers one big speaker 50 mm neodymium magnet, built-in audio processor creates the surround sound effect, without which the gameplay is impossible to imagine. I almost forgot, the sound is 7.1, all on the Canon, but to achieve it, you will need to install the Razer Synapse: here the available calibration sound, adjustable microphone, 8 band equalizer, backlight control and other settings of the headset.
USB adapter included keeps excellent signal, but on personal observations of the headset is louder and better if you use a extension cable USB. To connect the headset to the PS4 (another plus in karma Razer), however the sound will then be 2.0.
As for battery life, the manufacturer claims up to 14 hours with backlight and up to 20 hours without backlight. Headset the tests demonstrated stable 12,5-13 hours depending on volume.
Sound
Before using this headset, it is required to calibrate only in this case it is possible to achieve perfect sound. Makes no sense to argue that the best sound for games 7.1 is considered: it is incredibly rich and voluminous, with pleasure you can play like shooting games and RPG. The sides perfectly hear you because the microphone does not sink into the sounds. Also worth noting is the soundproofing headphones, which are at a very high level.
ManO’War can easily be used for listening to music on the computer, so in between games and feel your favorite music. However, mid and low frequencies subjectively too soft. On the other hand, this headset was designed explicitly for you to listen to with her help Frank Sinatra.
Gamers the joy
The average price tag for this headset in Russia is about 11 thousand rubles — for all the opportunities that it offers, it’s not so much. Of course, more expensive than many other gaming headsets, but as they say the audiophile, sometimes you need a time to invest in a good sound, so you do not know the problems.
