Razer Piranha Gaming Communicator

The Piranha Gaming Communicator from Razer is a high quality headset made specifically for PC gamers. The headset is available in a black color with a blue Razer logo emblazoned on the ear cups. The triple headed snake logo has LED lights that glow blue when the USB cable is plugged in.

The Piranha’s cable measures approximately 9 feet and is single-sided to keep the cables out of the way. The cable features a robust braided fiber construction for maximum durability. The headset has an in-line remote control that lets the user set the microphone on mute and adjust the volume levels easily.

The Razer Piranha Gaming Communicator supports most major operating systems and connects to a computer via an audio and microphone jack as well as a USB cable. The USB cable needs to be plugged in in order for the LED lights to function. With a 3.5 mm mini plug, the Piranha Gaming Communicator can also be used for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) conversations as well as headphones for media players.

Designed to be used for extended gaming sessions, the Piranha Gaming Communicator features an ergonomic design and generous amounts of padding. The headphones are fully adjustable to provide the most comfortable fit. The ear pieces also swivel so they fit the contours of the wearer’s ears better. The headset is fully padded with foam and is covered by a soft fabric.

The Razer Piranha Gaming Communicator’s uni-directional microphone is also adjustable. The boom is flexible to allow the user to better position the microphone. It can also rotate by about 110 degrees. For added voice clarity, the microphone also features noise filtering technology.

    Given it's mid range to budget target market and price point the Piranha performed above and beyond my personal expectations! The sound quality was crisp and clear, voice transmission through the noise isolating microphone was life like and ambient noises were filtered out. The only fault I could find and I had to look is that the Mute switch could be a little beefier, and as is normal for On the Ear Headsets it can become a little uncomfortable for long periods of use....

    Everyone that is a gamer knows that having the freedom to game whenever you want is severely limited to who you are living with or next to. Other than some special situations, both will actively object to you disemboweling your adversary with a gattlin gun at 3am in the morning with you 5.1 speaker system at gaming volume.

That’s why the serious gamer always confides in a good headset while playing. Razer, a company known for their gaming mice, is releasing a headset pompously dubbed as a “gaming... Read more

    In conclusion the Razer Piranha is a great headset with a lot of great features.    It rest comfortably on your head and is well made.    The single threaded cable with in line volume and mic control.  Built on and adjustable mic and even glowing logo's tell you that this a very well made pair of headphones.    Having this pair of headphones for several weeks and having dropped them a few time I have to say they are very durable.   I had no problems at all...
