Abstract: For PC gamers, the gear we use to play can provide a tangible edge in our games. Although much noise is made about backlit keyboards boasting gamer oriented layouts and fancy mice with odd shapes, the most important considerations for gaming are still ...
Overall this headset was well worth the money spent, and perfect for PC gamers who want to get the most out of their headphones without putting a drain on their system resources. I’ve used these headphones in gaming, Teamspeak, Ventrillo, and so many ...

Deficient only in its ability to upmix stereo content and play nice with Windows XP, Razer's Megalodon is the clear winner in the personal surround sound arms race. The headset's attention to comfort, sound quality, game compatibility and tournament re...
Comfort, USB Sound card, Feature rich, Driver less, Market leading sound quality for a USB headset, Brilliant microphone, Well built, Virtual 7.1 surround sound
