Razer thresher ultimate review in Spanish (full analysis)

Razer Thresher Ultimate is the new gaming headset from the Californian brand, a product compatible with both the PC and the PS4 console so that it can be adapted to the needs of a large number of users. It is a wireless headset that includes Dolby Surround 7.1 technology thanks to a HUB that connects to our PC or console through a USB port and transmits the sound wirelessly to the headphones. Its ultra-comfortable pads and integrated controls will be our best allies in long sessions in the middle of the battlefield.

We thank Razer for the trust placed in ceding the product to us for analysis.

Razer Thresher Ultimate technical features

Unboxing and design

Razer Thresher Ultimate is a luxury product and its presentation proves it, the headset comes inside a large cardboard box with a design in which blue predominates to make it clear from the outset that it is a product designed with PS4 users Sony in mind, despite the fact that it is also fully compatible with the PC as we will see later. The box also informs us that it is an officially licensed product for the PS4 so taking into account the Razer hsitorial, it is very likely that we are in front of the best wireless headset for the Sony console.

The box also informs us in perfect English of the most important characteristics of this high-end gaming headset, among them we highlight its 7.1 surround sound, its operation wirelessly through the 2.4 GHz radio frequency, an autonomy of up to 16 hours of gameplay, quick access controls built into the headset, ultra-comfortable ear cushions, a retractable microphone and compatibility with optical audio outputs.

Once we open the box we find a luxury presentation, inside it the first thing we see is a cardboard cover that we remove and we see the headphones perfectly arranged in a large piece of high quality foam to prevent them from moving. Along with this we have all the accessories in different individual cardboard boxes so that everything is very well organized. We also find the traditional Razer greeting and guarantee cards that accompany all their products.

The attached HUB deserves special mention, this is the one that we must connect via USB to our PC or our PS4 so that it sends the sound to the headset through its 2.4 GHz band, which has a greater range than Bluetooth technology and, Above all, it does not mean a loss of sound quality in addition to having an invaluable latency. This HUB implements Dolby Surround 7.1 technology so it will provide us with excellent sound quality in the middle of the battlefield and excellent positioning of enemies. This technology can be deactivated by a button when we are using the headset for other purposes such as listening to music. The base of this HUB is rubber to prevent it from sliding on our table. To this HUB we can add a plastic support that is attached to the bundle and that serves to hang the headset.

Finally we see a close-up of the Razer Thresher Ultimate headset, its design has been thought to be extremely comfortable so it is light with a weight of only 408 grams, a very tight figure if we take into account that it is wireless and therefore includes the battery necessary for its operation. A battery that offers us an autonomy of 16 hours although this value depends a lot on the volume used. The headset is built almost entirely in plastic, something that allows us to maintain a very light weight but leaves us with a bittersweet feeling as it is a product with a very high sale price.

Razer Thresher Ultimate is articulated to allow the headphones to turn, something that helps achieve greater comfort of use, its turning capacity is just over 90º. Razer has included a height adjustment system so that the headset can be adapted without problems to the heads of all users, in this area is the logo of the playstation, because we do not forget that it is an officially licensed product for the PS4.

The area of ​​the headphones has the typical perforated metal design that we find in the headphones of this manufacturer, in the middle is the Razer logo that forms the lighting system in blue to adapt to the sonyer aesthetic of the PS4, therefore it is not an RGB system. As for the pads, these are very abundant and soft for excellent wearing comfort, they also provide us with excellent insulation from the outside to avoid discomfort in our games.

Razer Thresher Ultimate has the best quality neodymium drivers and with a size of 50 mm that promises excellent sound quality with bass at the height of the high price of the headset, something that will also help its Dolby Surround technology with enhancement of said sound frequency. The rest of the driver features include a frequency response of 12 - 28, 000 Hz and an impedance of 32 Ω at 1 kHz.

Razer Thresher Ultimate integrates all the controls necessary for its use, these include the on / off button, the wheels for the volume of the speakers and the microphone and the MicroUSB port to charge the battery through the USB port included in the HUB.

The microphone has a retractable design, the best option to avoid that we can lose it and that it does not bother us when we are not using it. It is a unidirectional micro with a frequency response of 100 - 10, 000 Hz, a sensitivity of 38 ± 3 dB and a signal / noise ratio of> 55 dB.

Finally we see how it is next to the HUB and the attached plastic bracket to hang it when we are not using it.

Final words and conclusion about Razer Thresher Ultimate

I have been testing the Razer Thresher Ultimate for several days to play, listen to music and watch movies and there is no doubt that its sound quality is exceptional, although this can not be otherwise when we talk about a headset whose price is almost in the 300 euros. Its high quality drivers and the HUB with Dolby Headphone technology make a perfect marriage with a high, clean and very clear sound in both treble and mid and bass. The use of the 2.4 GHz band allows the sound to be transmitted without lag or loss of quality so that in this sense we can be calm and there will be no difference with wired headphones.

The comfort is also unsurpassed thanks to the use of the best quality pads and a very soft headband, the latter means that we do not even know that we carry them on our heads and they are not annoying after hours of use. Despite not being the lightest headset I've tried, it is certainly the most comfortable of them and feels tremendously light on the head.

The microphone is always the least notable aspect of any gaming headset, in this case Razer has done an excellent job and has placed a unit at the height of what users expect from one of the best brands in the world of PC peripherals.

We recommend you read the best gaming headphones

Razer Thresher Ultimate is an excellent product but it is not going to get rid of some negative reviews, the first one has to do with an excessive use of plastic in a product with a very high sale price, a greater amount of metal would give it a more premium appearance and above all greater robustness in some areas such as the articulation of the headphones. It is true that the plastic is lighter but in the HUB and the support there is no such Razer excuse.

Another aspect to improve is that there is no compatibility with Razer Synapse, it is a headset focused on the PS4 but it is also compatible with the PC and without a doubt the compatibility with the Razer software would help improve its possibilities, if you offer a product very high-end like this you have to take care of all the details.

Razer Thresher Ultimate is for sale on the Razer website for an approximate price of 280 euros, a very high figure but that gives us access to a sound quality and comfort of 10.
