The cans look cool, but I don't know about all that green.. lol.. if I grabbed a pair, I'd have to paint it before even wearing for the first time.

Perfection is, as always, relative...
Most costumers, with the exception of audio technicians, won't know the difference or just won't care as much about it as they will do about the looks...
Anyway, these would go great with UV painted hair...green, preferably...

 

[CDdude55]

There's to much going on with those headphones lol.

The green is to loud. If they came in a subtle red, then i would consider.

 

[WarEagleAU]

Loud green but I like it, would prefer loud blue lol. Decent price too. I have been looking for some decent gaming headphones and was thinking about those TX 51s?? reviewed a couple months back in CPU mag.

 

[Lionheart]

Looks like every company is going green or maybe these were specifically designed for the hulk himself

 

[toyo]

My eyes hurt.

 

[Scrizz]

Wow, I can see these a mile away.
I am blinded by it's sheer greenness!

 

[phanbuey]

Why do I get the feeling he came up with these in an airplane... while he was looking at the guy with the earmuffs on the runway.

 

[Rakesh95]

You would be crazy to get this with an AMD setup lol. very brave of Razer.

 

[Mussels]

ggaaaaaaah too much green

 

[Rakesh95]

ggaaaaaaah too much green

Theres always that someone who cant get enough green Imagine if it were UV reactive lol. Who is brave enough to wear that @ a lan party.

 

[BumbleBee]

eat your vegetables or the razer man will get you.

 

[Batou1986]

Theres always that someone who cant get enough green Imagine if it were UV reactive lol. Who is brave enough to wear that @ a lan party.

I would be one of those ppl who loves that color green, who go's to lan party's anymore that's so 2004
I just hate headphones that use 3.5mm jacks because the damn wires are too thin always break or come of the contacts somewhere and are impossible to fix.
Hence the reason ive had my platronics usb headset for like 4 years now without issue.

 

[Meizuman]

Probably the "enhanced audio" means "loudness-oriented".

 

[Mescalamba]

Hm.. this headphones reminds me AKG a lot, just coincidence? Then it would be probably much better than it looks (I dont say I dont like green, just this is tad too much). Camo would be better.

No microphone attachment = disqualified as gaming headphones.

 

[Mussels]

No microphone attachment = disqualified as gaming headphones.

i think you need to learn the definition of 'headphones' vs 'headset'

 

[caleb]

You might also look up "obsolete definition".

Wait, a 2M extension cable magically turns it into a gaming headset?


Meh anyway. It's Razer, and therefore it's overpriced junk. These are most likely $30 headphones with a fancy paint job, and that magical 2M cable that makes them more gaming oriented somehow.

 

[MomentoMoir]

dude i just got mine! I got them through a trade. I traded my razer earbuds that are worth $30 new for these brand new in the box headset I gave it to my bf since i broke his but i still use them i just wish they had a volume control

and u think its bright in the pic it doesnt do it justice on how bright it is
