We appreciate the trust in Razer for the transfer of the product for analysis.

Technical characteristics

Razer ManO'War unboxing and design

Once again Razer is once again betting on a very attractive presentation that shows the high quality of all its products. The Razer ManO'War wireless helmets arrive in a cardboard box in which the company's corporate colors predominate, that is, black and green in a very characteristic combination and that is extremely easy to recognize and identify with the signature.

Once we open the box and remove the plastic blister we find a bundle consisting of:

Razer ManO'War Headphones.Wireless USB adapter.USB cable to extend the range.Quick start guide.Warranty card.Decals.

As soon as we focus our eyes on the Razer ManO'War we realize that we are facing helmets with a very attractive design and denoting enormous quality. Not surprisingly, we are dealing with wireless headphones with virtual 7.1 high-fidelity and low latency sound using 2.4 GHz wireless technology without latency. It features a 12-meter range, so you can use them without worrying about straying too far from its ultra-compact USB wireless transceiver, which we can attach to the included extension stand to further improve its range.

The Razer ManO'War has an adjustable headband, to perfectly fit the head of all users and thus offer an excellent and very comfortable experience. The headphones also have a certain angle of rotation to better adapt to the needs of users. It is clear that Razer has put a lot of care into this product and has included small details that help a lot of long sessions. Its memory foam cushions with microfiber cover offer excellent comfort. Razer has given a lot of thought to the comfort of the player or music lover.

We continue to see the characteristics of the Razer ManO'War, and we find that they offer us 7.1 surround sound with great precision thanks to their 50mm neodymium diaphragms that Razer has mounted. These diaphragms are accompanied by the powerful Razer Surround engine to offer sound of unsurpassed quality and to make gamers feel life on the battlefield, they also include an advanced audio calibration function that will be especially useful in first-shooting video games person to know perfectly the position of each of the enemies that attack us.

For maximum comfort during use, the Razer ManO'War mounts a high quality battery and capacity so that you can use them without problems in all your long gaming sessions, these wireless helmets offer autonomy of up to 14 hours of uninterrupted operation, its autonomy can be extended up to 20 hours if the Chroma lighting included is deactivated.

A good gaming headset must have a good microphone and in this case it is a retractable unidirectional unit, so you can hide it when you are not going to use it so that it does not bother you. The microphone offers great clarity in your voice so you can communicate seamlessly with your friends in the middle of the battlefield. The Razer ManO'War microphone has an algorithm to capture a very clear and natural sound, thus surpassing most analog microphones that usually offer a rather artificial voice. An LED light is placed on the microphone arm to indicate when it is transmitting data.

We continue with the characteristics of the Razer ManO'War and come to the controls, we find intuitive quick-action controls that are located on the bottom of the headphones of the helmets to always be within reach of the user. Among its functions are adjusting the volume and the microphone in a very simple and intuitive way and without having to look for adjustments on the screen.

Management software

Like all Razer peripherals, the ManO'War is compatible with the Razer Synapse app which will be a must if we want to get the most out of these cool hi-fi wirelles. Its installation is as simple as accessing the Razer website, downloading and installing it without any complications.

Once the application is open, it will ask us to update the product firmware, which we always recommend, even if it takes a few minutes (the process is all automatic). The only important thing is not to disconnect it during the process. If you do it later, you can do it from the application itself.

WE RECOMMEND YOU New Razer Blade Stealth and Razer Core

Once we open the software, we do not find various sections to manage our helmets and to take full advantage of it. First of all, we came across the possibility of creating various user profiles to adapt them perfectly to our tastes. We continue with the possibility of customizing the lighting system in color intensity and light effects, this time we also have the possibility of changing the color of the lighting and even turning it off to increase the battery life. We continue with advanced functions for managing the microphone and an always useful equalizer to improve the quality of the sound that is already spectacular.

What does the application allow us to adjust? I detail it quickly:

Create profiles. Modify brightness, sound intervals and see battery life. Adjust lighting effect and create actions. In addition to get the most out of it with automatic firmware updates from the device options of the application.

Experience and conclusion

The Razer ManO'War are high-end helmets with a very successful design and an ideal complement for the most gamers. Personalization with the RGB color palette on the active LEDs is a plus. Of course, not only gamers can benefit from them since movie fans among others will also enjoy the enormous quality of these wireless helmets.

Speaking of sound quality, it is very high, as expected in a product in its range. Razer ManO'War boast amazing bass, treble and clarity thanks to its two top-quality 50mm neodymium drivers. To this is added its 7.1 high fidelity and low latency sound.

In short, if you are looking for wireless helmets, with an excellent quality of finishes, clarity of sound and ideal for the gaming world, the Razer ManO'War are the perfect candidates. Its price in store is approximately 199 euros.
