Razer ManO'War Wireless PC Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2016-06-28

The ManO’War headset is also marketed as a 7.1 virtual surround sound solution and thanks to the Synapse software, it can deliver good precision on the battlefield if we calibrate it to match our preferences; also, thanks to the 50mm drivers we will get powerful bass which immerses us further inside the game. With the ManO’War we no longer need to think about battery life much when having long LAN parties because the headset can provide us with up to 14 hours of continuous usage, while keeping the Razer Chroma lighting active. If we decide we do not need the LED lights in order to impress our rivals, then the usage time can climb up to 20 hours; if the headset is not used for a while, it will turn itself off in order to conserve battery life.

A Closer Look Part II

The product is featuring quite large ear cups which do house 50mm drivers, with neodymium magnets; controls and interfaces are available on each cup for ease of access, while the retractable microphone is easy to work with:

 

 

 

The ear cups can be also rotated for additional flexibility, so the will fit in the right position on most head sizes and shapes:

 

 

 

On the exterior of the cups, we will get to see a metallic grill, while in the center there is a plastic round component. Here we can spot the Razer logo which is LED lighted and also sports Chroma features:

 

 

 

The right cup is equipped with the volume controller, while on the upper area we do have an additional compartment:

 

 

 

 

When this compartment is pressed, the 2.4GHz wireless adapter will be ejected, which can be installed inside the dock or any other spare USB port in our vicinity:

 

 

 

 

After the removal of the adapter, the special compartment will remain empty:

 

 

 

For optimal comfort, Razer has opted to include circular leatherette ear pads, which fully cover the ear, making them comfortable even when using computer glasses; these pads have the 50mm drivers underneath, which are able to deliver balanced lows, mids and very nice bass. These have a frequency response between 20 Hz and 20 kHz, an impedance of 32 Ohms at 1kHz, while the sensitivity at 1kHz is 112 plus or minus 3 dB:

 

 

 

If we turn our attention on the left cup, we will get to see more interfaces available to us; here we do have the top green LED which lights up when the product is operating, the Power On/Off button which has a small red LED of itself (which lights up when we do charge the headset), an USB port, but also a microphone volume controller. We are happy to see a volume controller for the microphone right on the ear cup, which is quite a rarity amongst other manufacturers; this controller, when pressed inwards does also act as Mic Mute:
