Introduction

There are a few things you can't be without when you are a gamer and that is a good mouse and a good headset. Razer can provide you with both and for tonights review they have provided me with the Piranha headset from their latest headphone lineup. This Piranha headset seems exceptionally small and easy to use while it is supposed to have a very clear noise filtering microphone. We are going to give this headset a go and have a few World of Warcraft players have their say when it comes to the microphone quality.

This product comes packed in a very nice box with a big picture of the product on the front. On the back you can read about the features that both the headphone and mic has.

Inside on the bottom of the box I found a quick start manual, stickers, certificate of a authentic Razer product along with a add. The cable on headphones is around 2 meters I would eastimate, and that is plenty for you to have them hooked up in the back of the computer even if you sit far away from them as the cable will be enough. The cable is also braided with fiber to prevent it from damage and getting squeezed under chairs etc. In my case it saves me from having to buy another headset as my cat tends to chew on cables.

The green connector is for the headphones while the pink one is for the mic. The USB connector only needs to be cnnected if you want the logos on the headphones to lit up in blue.

The top of the headphones is padded so they feel comfortable even on the top of your head, overall though the headphones are alot smaller than most other headsets I have looked at.
