ges-sa.co.za - Razer is no stranger to good quality gaming peripherals. Their latest headset is the Razer BlackShark, a stereo set of cans with an interesting design. Razer based the design of the BlackSharks on a helicopter pilot’s headset, and they look so convincing that any pilot would have to do a double take. The one thing that might be a giveaway that this is a gaming headset is the neon green rubber sheathed cabling, as well as the bright green stitching across the leather padding on the top of the set. Otherwise in terms of achieving an authentic look it excels, which brings us to the next question, build quality. There is a lot of steel used on the headset to give it that mechanical pilot look, and the one concern I had when first picking up the BlackShark was that they were very heavy, and this might make long hours of play uncomfortable.
RPad.TV checks out the Battlefield 3-inspired Razer BlackShark Gaming headset. Styled after aviator headsets, this model features a deep bass response, great comfort, and unique looks. It's a high-quality headset that looks great, but there are some issues with the sound quality and price that should be considered.
Capsule Computers: "The days of cheap 20 dollar headsets are long dead. Good riddance. Today, headphone makers are realizing that gamers actually appreciate a good set of cans with a solid microphone attached to it. Razer brings out their latest offering to the gaming headset market with the Battlefield 3 – Razer BlackShark. Priced at the popular $129.99 USD price point, Razer has some big competition in the gaming headset field, including their own previous offerings. Can the Razer BlackShark take a bite out of the competition?"
