Razer ManO'War 7.1 Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2017-01-27

Razer has recently launched an updated version of the original wireless ManO’War headset, now compatible with more devices by featuring an analog stereo interface. Thanks to the included USB audio adapter, the product can deliver 7.1 virtual surround for a more immersive experience and while the chassis of the product looks about the same, it is even lighter than its wireless variant.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

Not long ago, we had the chance to check out the Razer ManO’War wireless headset, which was featuring a small USB 2.4GHz dongle, 50mm drivers, controls on the chassis, Chroma lighting effects but also 7.1 surround sound thanks to the Razer Surround engine. Recently, the manufacturer has revised the model by converting it to a wired state, so it is lighter (no internal batteries) and can operate on many other devices than the previous thanks to the analog interface.

The Razer ManO’War 7.1 headset is shipped inside a medium-sized cardboard enclosure, with a photo of the headset on the top cover:

As documentation, we will receive a small product manual:

 

 

 

Here Razer is describing the main ManO’War 7.1 headset components, along with the usage modes:

 

 

 

Of course, we will also receive a set of nice Razer stickers:

 

 

 

As mentioned before, the new revision does no longer sport a wireless interface, but the overall design was preserved:

 

 

 

We can see right from the start the large cups ManO’War 7.1 comes with and it houses large 50mm drivers with Neodymium magnets:
