Razer ManO’ war review

The ManO’War features 7.1 surround sound, as opposed to the “virtual” kind featured on its less expensive headsets, and it can also be fine-tuned in the Razer Synapse software. Both earpieces are adorned with a Chroma-enabled Razer logo, and if you have a Razer keyboard and mouse you can sync all your devices to dance to the same lighting effect, which is cool. The lighting effect options include Static, Breathing, or Spectrum Cycling, where the logos cycle through every color of the rainbow. The left earpiece hides a retractable, unidirectional mic for voice communication along with a wheel for the mic volume level as well as an indicator LED and power button. The right earpiece also has a volume control wheel as well.

Included with the set is a USB charging cable for the headset, a USB extension hub that lets you connect it to the back of your PC and then connect the dongle to it as it rests on your desktop.While testing, I had no problem with the wireless connection walking from my office to the adjoining kitchen in my house, so the range seems totally adequate.
