Last summer, we ran detailed tests of the Razer ManO "War wireless headset, chic headphones. In 2017 this series was updated with a wired Razer ManO'War 7.1 with sound card included. If you've been looking at this series but you didn't need wireless connection or the cost of the flagship version, the new model is just right for you. It borrows a design, virtual surround 7.1 sound, and powerful 50mm neodymium speakers. Visible differences concern the lack of illumination of the logo on the cup and weight reduction by eliminating the built-in battery.

Razer ManO'War 7.1 review

Equipment

The Razer ManO'War 7.1 comes in a massive box with a traditional black and green design. Already starting with the study of the box, there is a feeling of the premium product. Hinged cover with Velcro. Detailed description of the features, characteristics and several images of the headset. They are fixed on a rigid backing with a velvet covering that protects against damage during transportation.

The package includes a USB sound card, extension cable, instructions, warranty card, logo stickers.

Appearance

As mentioned at the beginning, the Razer ManO'War 7.1 follows the design of the wireless model. They were clearly designed to delight. Solid design, round cups, well-defined lines and proven ergonomics.

The engineers managed to combine all this, and at the same time evenly distribute the weight throughout the structure and solve the issue of increased pressure on the head. They are not felt on the head, although the weight together with the cable and sound card is 332 grams (375 for the wireless model).

Razer ManO'War 7.1 appearance

The headband of the headset is made of deformation-resistant plastic. On the outside there is the manufacturer's logo, on the inside there is a soft lining with shape memory.

The mechanism for rotating the cups is implemented in an interesting way. Here it is made rather not in order to conveniently fold the headphones for storage, but for convenient removal and putting on the head. When put on, the turned cups are conveniently fixed on the head along the movement of the hands.

But storage is also okay, Razer ManO'War 7.1 can also be considered to be paired with a smartphone or headphones, they will fit freely in a backpack.

Variable length headband. There are cutoffs on the rail that fix the selected position. The headphones are suitable for both teenagers and children.

Round massive cups with a metal grill on the outside and inserts with a logo. This model is completely devoid of backlighting.

The eco-leather-covered ear cushions are filled with shape memory material, and the ears literally sink into them.

In the left bowl is a retractable microphone leg. Its position can be changed by choosing the optimal one.

The controls on the Razer ManO'War 7.1 have been moved to the remote control, which is fixed to the cable. Here it is non-removable, connected to the right cup, the exit point is reinforced. There is a protective fabric braid.

From the remote, you can change the volume using the drum and turn off the microphone. This unit is lightweight, the cable does not pull away and does not attract increased attention.

At the end there is an L-shaped 4-pin connector. Its shape is convenient for connecting to both a computer and a smartphone.

By the way, the length of the main part is about 1 meter, again, plus if the headphones are used outdoors, the extra length will not interfere. For home use, there is an extension cable in the kit, the length of which is enough to connect to the back of the case or to a sound card.

Software

A distinctive feature of the Razer ManO'War 7.1 is the presence of a sound card with 7.1 sound in the package. Considering the fact that most users are limited to the built-in sound from the motherboard, its presence can be attributed to significant advantages. Who, if not the manufacturer himself, knows about the optimal settings for his headset. But it is important to note that its use is not necessary, the headphones work both with it and without it.

ManO'War 7.1 settings

After connecting the sound card, settings become available using the RAZER Synapse 2.0 utility. The firmware is being updated and if there are settings in the account, export is offered. This way you can save your presets on different machines by simply plugging in a headset between them and setting up just once. In the main window, it is proposed to calibrate the virtual surround sound, at this stage you can feel the benefits of this technology and make sure that even two speakers in the headphones are capable of producing a surround scene.

In the second tab, the sound amplifier is turned on, the bass is improved, the sound is normalized, and the clarity of speech is increased. Detailed settings for the microphone: set the volume, activate noise reduction, normalize the volume, select the sensitivity. Didn't forget about the equalizer. As a result, the user is offered a detailed headphone control center.

Tests

The Razer ManO'War 7.1 is a versatile headset that fully works with a variety of audio sources, including consoles, laptops, smartphones, tablets, players and computers. Listening to your favorite songs in the subway in the morning, giving out headshots in your favorite shooter in the evening or giving out another ricochet in tanks. Everything possible has been done for this, from the design to the shape of the plug.

In terms of convenience, everything is also on top. Long-term wear does not cause irritation and fatigue. There may be some problems with fogging, which is typical for all headphones with eco-leather ear pads. We were delighted with the softness of the ear cushions and the level of sound insulation provided.

For those who worry and believe that the most valuable parts of sound are lost through Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz, the Razer ManO'War 7.1 is ready to offer clear transmission in the smallest detail, plus eliminating the fear of a dead battery at the most inopportune moment. But all this, of course, is good, but how do the headphones show themselves in combat conditions?

Escape from Tarkov: ManO'War 7.1

By tradition, we focus on online shooters, in which the result depends on sound as much as on the ability to shoot. The ability to hear an enemy sneaking up, a door opening behind your back, or shots in an adjacent room are especially important in online battles. It is here that the virtual 7.1 sound is revealed in all its glory, creating a feeling of complete immersion in what is happening on the screen. In Escape from Tarkov, in addition to control, they also make it possible to disassemble in detail even the type of weapon from which the shooting is being carried out, and in especially dangerous situations, even flinch from reality. Dynamic shooters such as Overwatch, Battlefield 1, as well as World of Tanks and WarThunder will delight you with spectacular explosions, shots, engine roar and rich soundstage.

Fitting ManO'War 7.1

Music lovers will also be satisfied, the Razer ManO'War 7.1 supports detailed settings, in particular, the lows can be lowered if desired. If you need bass, they will be, if you don't need it, they are removed. As a result, they will suit the music of various genres, including classical compositions. The sound is expressive. When watching movies, everything is fine too.

Razer ManO'War 7.1 results

The Razer ManO'War 7.1 is fully top-notch, offering high build quality, state-of-the-art technology and virtual 7.1 sound. The significant advantages are the sound card and the versatility of the connection. I liked the design, the rotating mechanism of the cups, large ear pads, chic sound with powerful bass, a noise canceling microphone, verified ergonomics, an adjustable cable, detailed settings, and a remote control. The lack of illumination on the cups and the non-removable cable may not suit.
receives the well-deserved award "Gold ..

There are different ones: in-channel, overhead, full-size ... the range is such that everyone can choose a device to their liking. However, everything changes when it comes to gaming headphones: this is a whole separate category of audio devices, which often defies the understanding of "classic" audiophiles. Why? Let's take a look at the example of the Razer ManO'War wireless gaming headset.

Let's say right away: equipment like ManO'War is clearly not suitable for sophisticated music lovers. And Razer's goal with these headphones was not at all a perfectly detailed scene or accurate sound reproduction. The device was supposed to first of all satisfy the needs of gamers and help them "pump" in games, where the soundtrack is considered one of the main components. In the same Counter Strike, a lot depends on whether you hear footsteps or the sound of enemy weapons reloading in time.

So in this review you will not see graphs with frequency response, titanium 40mm drivers and other heritage of audiophiles. We're just going to see if the gaming hardware company has succeeded in delivering headphones worthy of the discerning gamer.

The headset is delivered in a branded black and green box, the green color has long become a "quality mark" of Razer. Inside - the headphones themselves, a charging cable, a USB extension cable, documentation and ... stickers. Gamers love stickers, don't they?

For gaming headphones, the bundle has everything you need, even a little more. You ask - where, in fact, is the microphone, after all, is it a headset? How to connect to a computer? Let's tell you now.

Appearance

ManO'War are made mainly of matte plastic - in some places, of course, there is some “glossiness”, but this is not so noticeable. The first thing I want to note is the Razer's signature LED backlighting - it is located on the cups and can glow in one of the colors from the available palette. The backlight is bright, but outwardly very pleasant, you can choose one of three modes. From the outside it really looks impressive.

The left ear cup houses a headphone switch, a micro-USB port for charging, an LED and a retractable flex microphone. This is very convenient because you can quickly remove it if, for example, you are playing alone and you do not need to communicate with team members. In the right cup there is a removable USB-adapter, with which the headset is connected to the computer. It can, for example, be connected to an extension cable, and the latter to a computer.

Outwardly, the headset looks not just big, but simply huge - you rarely see such cups on ordinary headphones now. Nevertheless, this whole structure weighs only 375 grams, so it sits perfectly on the head, nothing presses anywhere, the ears do not sweat, although the ear cushions and the inner part of the headband are made of soft leather substitute. The bowls have an impressive angle of rotation, and the design is also adjustable in length due to adjustments on the headband.

By design, it is clear that this headset is created exclusively for gamers - ideally, those who travel a lot in eSports competitions, where everyone will appreciate the Razer proprietary lighting. The "wrapper" is beautiful, but what do we have inside?

Specifications

• Headphone type: Over-ear, closed-back, gaming
• Speaker: 50mm, with neodymium magnet
• Frequency range: 20-20,000 Hz
• Connection: Wireless USB Adapter
• Sensitivity: 112 ± 3dB
• Impedance: 32 Ohm
• Microphone: Uni-directional digital
• Battery life: 14 hours with backlight / 20 hours without
• Weight: 375 g.

The Razer ManO'War is powered by a single large 50mm neodymium speaker, and the built-in audio processor creates a surround sound experience that gameplay cannot be imagined without. I almost forgot, the sound here is 7.1, everything is canon, but to achieve it, you need to install the Razer Synapse program: here you can access sound calibration, microphone adjustment, 8-band equalizer, backlight control and other headset settings.

The included USB adapter perfectly holds the signal, however, according to personal observations, the headset plays louder and better if you use a USB extension cable. You can also connect the headset to the PS4 (another plus for Razer), although the sound will then be 2.0.

As for battery life, the manufacturer claims up to 14 hours with a backlight and up to 20 hours without a backlight. On tests, the headset showed stable 12.5-13 hours, depending on the volume.

Sound

Before using this headset, it is imperative to calibrate it - only then can you achieve the perfect sound. There is no point in arguing that 7.1 is considered the best sound for games: it is incredibly rich and voluminous, you can enjoy playing both shooting games and RPGs. The interlocutors hear you perfectly, since the microphone does not drown in sounds. Also worth noting is the sound insulation of the headphones, which is at a very high level here.

ManO'War can be easily used to listen to music on your computer, so you can feel your favorite songs in between games. True, the mid and low frequencies are too soft for subjective sensations. On the other hand, this headset was clearly not designed for you to listen to Frank Sinatra with.

For gamers to delight

The average price tag for this headset in Russia is about 11 thousand rubles - for the opportunities that it offers, this is not so much. Of course, more expensive than many other gaming headsets, but as audiophiles say, sometimes you need to invest in good sound once so that you don't know the problems later.

I don't often get gaming accessories to review, and of course I love the Razer ManO'War gaming headphones - these are the headphones for the most demanding gamers.

Razer ManO'War Gaming Headset - Reviews

As a rule, I approach gaming headphones with great caution. Maybe because every day I use studio grade headphones, which in terms of sound for players may not be up to par.

Remember, equipment like the Razer ManO'War has very specific uses. It does not guarantee the most accurate sound reproduction and will not spoil music lovers. These gaming headphones are intended to provide a complete entertainment experience and, above all, provide players with a fully immersive gaming experience.

P.S: Razer ManO'War perform this task perfectly. But more on that later.

Oh my God, what a great Razer ManO'War!

I have to say that these headphones are really big. They are just huge. These are the largest headphones I've ever worn on my head, with the largest ear cups I've ever seen in headphones. Interestingly, for all their bulk, they are surprisingly light (375 g) and surprisingly comfortable.

These oversized cups are surprisingly soft, as are the padding on the headband. These are one of the few headsets that I can actually sit in all day and not feel uncomfortable. There is one BUT in all this - as I said, these headphones are really HUGE. Thus, they will be suitable for people with smaller heads, or for children. They fit perfectly on my head, but the headband does not expand here. This is what you really need to look out for when making a purchasing decision.

I never cared about being too tender for my ears, but the Razer ManO'War passed this test with distinction, because they are surprisingly flexible and can be bent in principle from all sides, and nothing will happen to them (without exaggeration, of course). because even the cups rotate, and it can be convenient when you put on or take off the headphones from your head. Nothing squeaks - the quality of the headphones really comes off the top shelf.

One cannot help but guess who these headphones are for

Razer's aesthetics should not be confused with any other. What I really like is that this aesthetic is present in all the devices the company offers to the consumer.

At first glance, it’s immediately clear that the Razer ManO’War headphones are for gamers, but they don’t look like a cheap toy or a Christmas tree. The only thing I don't like about them visually is that there is glossy plastic in some places, not matte, which makes the rest of the structure a little cheaper.

What visually differentiates the Razer ManO'War from other gaming headsets is Razer's signature LED lighting that illuminates the company's logo on the cups. We can choose from three modes - continuous illumination, as well as two types of "pulsating", with a separately selected favorite color. It can be green, purple, or another color from the available palette. The backlight is very soft and does not dazzle others in the dark with its intensity.

In the left earbud you can find a retractable, flexible microphone with adjustable sensitivity, a headphone switch, a micro-USB port for charging and an indication LED. The right earpiece hides a detachable USB adapter for connecting the headset wirelessly to a computer (cannot be done over wires), and a volume control. All components are beautifully put together, and the craftsmanship is at the highest level, no fault.

But that's not all! In the box with the earbuds, next to the plain paper, there is a braided USB charging cable and a set of stickers. There is also a USB extension cable, which not only makes it easier to connect the adapter, but also strengthens the connection. I have noticed that headphones connected via a USB extension cable hold the signal longer and play louder than using a USB adapter directly to the computer.

Razer ManO'War - PC connection

Okay, now about the physical nature, let's talk a little about the process of connecting to a computer. The Razer ManO'War are 7.1 audio headphones, so just plugging in an adapter isn't enough. You need to install the Razer Synapse software (if you have other Razer accessories, you probably already use it), which can not only control audio and connections, but also set the lighting or set the profile according to specific settings.

There is also a powerful equalizer, which in the Razer ManO'War responds very well. It very often happens that headphones start to show strange sounds when we adjust the equalizer in the software. The Razer headset responds very well, even to the slightest changes at a certain frequency.

But I must emphasize that we still connect the headset to the computer. ManO'War can also be used in combination with PS4 (which makes them very versatile), but then we only have access to one backlight mode and audio format 2.0 rather than 7.1.

7.1 headphones for gamers? You are welcome!

It's not for nothing that Razer Synapse requires us to pre-calibrate the sound system and make sure we hear page sounds. After calibrating the headset, the audio experience while gaming is amazing. 7.1 is the best sound quality for gaming. The sound comes literally from everywhere, we can carefully assess whether it comes to us from the front or from behind.

When we play RPG - hearing from which side they attack us helps to react faster. In action, explosions literally surround us and immerse us deeper into the game. In a word - insanity. In addition, the microphone does not disappoint - it sounds very clear, deep, and perfect for playing, while at the same time it does not drown in sounds.

Razer ManO'War provide us with perfect isolation from the outside world - if we have them on our head, we will surely not hear / wife / girlfriend / roommate / cat and other external sounds, all that we hear is what we play. And this is not an exaggeration, because the so-called "sound leakage" on the outside is really minimal, mainly due to the huge, soft cushions on the cups that fit well to the head.

Listening to music

For listening to music, the Razer ManO'War is not really suitable. In particular, because of their technical characteristics: 20Hz - 20kHz hurts the standard frequency range, which heralds the pain of standard listening to music. And, since the Razer ManO'War is a perfectly tuned headset for gamers, there is nothing to catch here for music lovers.

The sound is simple and correct. On the underside are very soft mids and lows, but they are minimal for bandwidth that even the Razer Synapse EQ won't help raise. This is a bit disappointing as given the size of the transducers (50mm diameter) I expected slightly more efficient reproduction of the entire frequency spectrum.

But this is nothing new, and it's clear to everyone that Razer created headphones to maximize their tune for games, abandoning the attempt to create a universal headset. Overall, the Razer ManO'War is a great headset for gaming and watching movies, but when it comes to listening to music, it's on average. Well, you can't have everything at once. It is so?

Razer ManO'War Wireless Freedom

It is worth mentioning that the wireless functions of the headphones work without problems. Once you've paired them with Razer Synapse software, they'll come together to communicate reliably and forever. You also won't be able to complain about the signal stability, as promised, within 12 meters there are no communication problems. Considering the fact that we cannot connect via a wire, it is very pleasing that the battery life is 14 hours with the backlight, or 20 hours when the backlight is off.

I have a suggestion for potential buyers of the Razer ManO'War - invest once in a good pair of headphones and enjoy hours, days and years to fly.

Outcome

For all of the above - luxury, comfort and immersion, you will have to pay about 15,000 rubles. It's a lot? I don't think so considering the overall quality and use of these headphones. Objectively, however, the price of the Razer ManO'War may scare off many potential customers, especially since the market does not lack a good quality gaming headset, but it is almost half the price.

The 7.1 audio format comes in very high quality. So if you're looking for a headset that will really help you get ahead in the gaming world, and / or has other Razer strengths in its arsenal, then the Razer ManO'War Gaming Headphones are the perfect addition to your combat experience.

Among people who are fond of games, it is quite difficult to find at least one who has not heard of the American company Razer, which since 1998 has been pleasing its fans with a variety of gaming accessories, ranging from mouse pads to gaming laptops. Razer products are easily recognizable with their original design and signature black and green colors.

One of the directions of the American company is the production of headphones and headsets of various formats. In its lineup, the user will be able to choose both compact in-ear Razer Hammerheads and full-size wireless Razer ManO'War, which we will talk about in this review.

Immediately it is worth making a reservation that the Razer Man O'War is by no means an affordable model, and the price for it varies around $ 185. If you like the device, and the transmission of sound wirelessly is not necessary, then there is a wired version on sale with an estimated price tag of $ 129 at the time of writing.

Packaging and equipment

The headset comes in a fairly large box, decorated in Razer's corporate colors. On the front side, the presence of Razer Chroma LED-backlighting is noted, while on the back, the key advantages of the device are indicated, namely, virtualization of 7.1-channel surround sound and work in wireless mode. Separately noted is the operating time from one battery charge for 7 days (2 hours of use per day).

Throwing off the cover, which is fixed with Velcro, you can see the device itself, securely fixed in a special shape designed to prevent damage to the headphones during transportation.

In the box, we also found a short instruction manual, a wireless transmitter and an extension cord for it. Since we had an incomplete version for testing, there were no branded stickers and a USB charging cable. However, when buying, they will definitely be.

Appearance and design

The Razer ManO'War headset looks very massive, so at first it seems that it will be difficult to play in such headphones for a long time due to their mass. However, the first impression is deceiving, because in fact the weight of 375 g is quite comfortable for wireless headphones.

They themselves use a classic design and are mostly made of matte plastic with metal rails.

The build quality is very good, although there are characteristic creaks at the junction of the cups with the headband during operation, and the swivel mechanism itself does not inspire confidence in its durability, so it is better not to drop the Razer ManO'War, like any other headphones. Also note that the cups in extreme positions rub a little against the frame during vertical travel.

Except for the rotating mechanism of the cups, the design of the headphones is rigid, although the implementation of the headband is a little alarming, since when stretched, the load is carried out only on a pair of rails. The central part of the headband made of eco-leather is practically isolated and does not affect the reliability and rigidity of the structure. There is a small layer of foam inside this insert, but the headband cannot be called very soft, since the layer is quite thin.

The round ear cushions are composed of soft memory foam on the inside and synthetic leather on the outside.

The cups themselves are large enough and made of plastic with small metal meshes on the outside.

On the left earcup there is a microphone on a retractable flexible boom, which can be easily adjusted to the desired position. When the microphone is turned off, the red LED ring on it lights up, which is very convenient and clearly displays its state.

In addition to the microphone, there is also a volume control for voice transmission, pressing which completely turns it off, a micro-USB connector for charging the battery, a power button (glows red when charging) and a green activity indicator.

In turn, on the right cup there is a speaker volume control with the ability to mute the sound by pressing and a seat with a fixation for storing the USB receiver.

Both cups have proprietary Razer Chroma lighting, which can be adjusted in proprietary software.

The Razer ManO'War gaming headset is powered by two 50mm neodymium magnet speakers.

To connect the headset, not Bluetooth is used, but a 2.4 GHz radio channel, which limits the range of potential buyers, because the Razer ManO'War can only be used with a PC, Mac or PS4, while there is no question of connecting to mobile devices, because the possibility of wired there is no sound transmission. The declared operating range is 12 m.

If interference occurs when the transmitter is directly connected to a PC, then you can use the complete extension cord, which is a small plastic structure with a rubberized base.

Operating experience and sound quality

Despite the rather large dimensions, the headphones are very convenient to use. The fit is very comfortable, especially for a large head. Otherwise, there may be a subconscious desire to reduce the size of the headband for more pressing of the headset to the ears. As for the ear pads, their depth is quite large, although the ears still touch the inner mesh a little. The pivoting mechanism of the earcups allows you to conveniently adjust their position on the head, making the headphones fit comfortably. The only complaint we have is not the softest headband.

The sound in the headset is typical of Razer products, with an emphasis on excellent bass response. When listening, you can feel powerful, yet soft bass without distortion, even at maximum volume. The overall frequency picture is not the best, and in order to open the headphones, you need to adjust the equalizer, and also reduce or disable the bass amplification altogether. This is especially true for the virtual 7.1 mode, in which the low frequencies are amplified even more, drowning out the mids.

The 7.1-channel sound mode performs best in movies and games, with the Razer ManO'War delivering the most authentic surround sound of any headphone we've tested with this technology. The device transmits positioning almost perfectly.

As for the music, not everything is so smooth here, and the headset can only be called suitable for electronics with an emphasis on low frequencies. To achieve more or less reliable sound, you can only transfer the headphones to 2.0 mode and adjust the equalizer. Separately, we note that 7.1-channel sound is not supported with PS4.

The unidirectional microphone has software noise cancellation. Its sensitivity is at a high level, with the ability to adjust it in the software. The quality of speech transmission is very good: the voice is clear, without unnecessary noise (if the sensitivity is not overestimated above the basic values). The frequency range includes medium and high, but not low. However, the people you are talking to will hear your voice perfectly.

Proprietary software

The proprietary Razer Synapse utility, when you first connect the headset, offers to calibrate the 7.1 surround sound function in accordance with the hearing characteristics of a particular user. After going through the automatic setup, you will have access to manual adjustment of the headset parameters, which are divided into several tabs for greater convenience.

Fine tuning lends itself not only to the parameters of the speakers, but also the microphone. On a separate tab, there is an 8-band equalizer with the ability to select one of the presets or manual settings. You can also customize the Razer Chroma backlight, which can work in one of three modes: constant light, breathing and sequential color change.

conclusions

Summing up our acquaintance with the headset Razer ManO'War, we can say that it is an excellent option for demanding and wealthy gamers. The headphones have a number of advantages, such as wireless connection with a radius of 12 meters, good autonomy, comfortable fit and good workmanship, excellent study of the low frequency spectrum, one of the best implementations of virtual 7.1-channel surround sound on a PC and the presence of a high-quality microphone for communicating with friends. As a result, you can fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of your favorite games or movies.

But before buying, you should immediately clarify a number of points. First, the Razer ManO'War is not marketed as a headphone for demanding audiophiles, although there is an equalizer for adjusting the sound quality, and undemanding users will not have any special problems in this area. Secondly, there is no support for Bluetooth and wired connections, so you won't be able to use the device in tandem with mobile gadgets. Thirdly, when connected to a game console, there is no possibility of emulating 7.1-channel surround sound, since it is activated through proprietary software.

We express our gratitude to the company3 ona 51 , the official distributor of productsRazer , for the headset provided for testing.
