Review: I'm not sure why this headset gets so much hate. I was torn about buying this since I saw so many negative reviews but decided to bite the bullet (maybe people just don't like Razer?) I currently own the Steelseries Arctis 7, the Sennheiser GSP 500, and now this, the Nari Ultimate. This is definitely my favorite headset of the three. In terms of sound quality itself, this holds up extremely well. If you're just going to be gaming, listening to some music, and love bass, this is the headset for you. About the haptics - they are not a gimmick. They make a very big difference and are seriously immersive. I don't think I can ever go back to using a headset without it. I’ve seen some reviews mention that this is heavy. Honestly, I’d have to disagree. This doesn’t feel any heavier than the Steelseries or Sennheiser, and sits pretty comfortably on my head. It’s a little loose, but won’t fall off unless I’m trying to make it fall off. Just keep in mind that the battery life isn't amazing so perhaps this isn't the best for console gaming. I sit right in front of a PC and don't mind plugging this in for a while when it gets low, but it may be an issue for some users.

Review: These are very average headphones, and i dont think they are worth over $100, maybe like 50-70 at the most. The "Haptic Feedback" on the headset, which is the main selling point of this headset, is pretty hit or miss with a lot of games. for most if not all shooter games, the Haptic Feedback is very solid, sometimes it reacts for no reason, but its great for the most part on FPS. but on practically anything else, they are pretty meh, with it ruining the experience for some games. I've also found that the software needed to use the headset to its "Full Potential", doesn't always switch your presets/profiles you've made for say games, discord, etc. So sometimes when talking in discord, while not being in a game, the haptics will react to the voice of the people in the call, which is very annoying, and not supposed to happen, since my preset for everything other than fps games, has the haptics off. So the haptics shouldn't be on whatsoever. The Haptics will also react to the voice of people in a discord call while you're in a game as well, which isn't entirely its fault, but its still a bit annoying. I feel like the headset should've used the razor program to communicate with the game itself, instead of just your PCs sound in general. The weight of the headset is pretty hefty, not horrible, but not great by any means. After about an hour or so of use, it beings to irritate the top of my head, causing some discomfort, but I guess that's to be expected with what these headsets are made to do, which is the haptics. The comfort is very poor for longer sessions in my opinion. the headset like I stated before, is heavy, and after about an hour of use starts to get uncomfortable on the top of my head. The self adjusting strap at the top just makes no sense to me for this headset, I think that if the headset is gana be on the heaver side, then it should've used some foam or anything else instead to make it more comfortable while wearing. Having just a simple strap makes it easier to feel the weight on your head, which definitely isn't good for this headset. The mic quality (Especially in discord) is pretty bad, with it jumping around being to quiet and to loud, which makes no sense to me, it does the same things in game chat of say Call Of Duty, the headset mic just doesn't know what its doing. its also very random if the mic is gana pick you up 100% of the time (sometimes even picking up you breathing), or if its just gana barley pick you up unless you shout. You could probably make it sound a little better with some tools, but not to much. Now the most important part, the sound, which is very average. It doesn't sound bad, but it also doesn't sound great. For games that have a lot more "boom" like shooter games, the headset sounds pretty good, but for say like music, they're very meh, they're not horrible, but they definitely not good. When listening to music, most music just doesn't sound right, like as if they are missing depth, it just sounds very mushy. You can slightly improve it with the "music" option in the razor software, but it barley changes anything. I would also highly advice NOT to use the haptic feedback when listening to music, because 90% of the time, it completely ruins the experience, vibrating at random points for seemingly no reason, and the sound of the vibrations toning out the actual music. Overall, these headphones where very dissapointing, and are not in anyway worth more than $70. if you are in the market to buy a headset, and youre willing to spend over $100 for one, I would highly recommend the Logitech G733 OR the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro, both sound better, weight a lot less, and are only about $20 more than the Nari Ultimates. So Please, just get one of those, instead of these, they will treat you way better than these would.
