The Carcharias offers decent features for the price, but nothing that really sets it apart.


Highs: Lightweight and very comfortable; good-quality sound; in-line volume control and mic switch

Lows: Mic does a poor job of rejecting extraneous noise; no detents in the headband

Where to buy:

Introduction

We tested Razer’s Carcharias gaming headset immediately after we finished our review of Logitech’s G35 headset, which is also largely targeted at gamers. As we unpacked the former, two things surprised us: Its light weight and the fact that it relies on analog connections to your PC’s line-out and mic-in jacks. The Carcharias is definitely old-school. There’s no surround sound, no programmable buttons, and no glowing LEDs. But there is an upside to the unit’s simplicity, especially if you have a high-end and you don’t want to give it up.
