I haven’t heard a gaming headset with this much roominess to its sound since the original HyperX Cloud, and listening to a good stereo-mixed music track on this headset is a treat. The second is that the directionality on the Man O’ War is excellent. Though I will say, it’s a bit baffling that this gaming headset ships with EQ settings named after music, not games. I ended up running the “Rock” EQ setting for most music listening, with the bass rolled off slightly, and the headset’s sound really popped. With the Man O’ War, even small adjustments transform the sound. With a lot of headsets, you can tweak the EQ and barely notice a difference. You can do so by way of Synapse, either through Razer’s “Bass Boost” setting or by creating your own full-blown EQ profile. Tweak the bass and the highs, though, and you’ve got an entirely different headset. In its default state, the Man O’ War sounds okay. The first is that there’s a lot of headroom in the EQ. But there are two aspects of the Man O’ War that elevate it in my esteem. Instead, you get crystal-clear mids and crisp highs-similar to the approach taken by Corsair with both the H2100 and Void Wireless. There’s not much of a bass punch to it, especially when listening to music. To touch on specifics, the Man O’ War is a moderately bright headset in its default state. It’s not the best headset I’ve heard-not even in its division, as I think the similarly priced (and also wireless) Logitech G933 just edges it out. I’m impressed with the Man O’ War’s sound, too. It’s subtle on this headset though, with only the Razer logo illuminated on each earcup. Take from that what you will.įinally, like all modern-era Razer products, the Man O’ War features RGB lighting, configured through its Synapse software. And flexing the headband to put it on your head makes a sound I can only compare to a cartoon skeleton cracking his knuckles. That’s not the only issue: The Man O’ War also makes an awful rattly plastic noise when you pick it up. The headset is lightweight because it’s built almost entirely from plastic, which makes it feel chintzy placed next to heftier counterparts like the HyperX Cloud, the Logitech G933, or even the SteelSeries Siberia Elite (with which the Man O’ War shares so many design cues). Unfortunately, the reality of the Man O’ War is a bit less elegant. Prepare to be impressed when you first open the box.
The Man O’ War also looks high-quality, borrowing the soft matte-black finish used on Razer’s top-tier mice, like the Mamba. They do tend to compress the longer you wear the headset, but regardless, the Man O’ War is cozy. They’re so soft and comfortable-like marshmallows pressed against your face. It’s actually the same weight as the Logitech G933 (about 0.85 pounds or 375 kilograms). And those puffy earcups are a joy, especially when you first put on the headset. The Man O’ War comes packaged in 10 tons of fancy Razer packaging.ĭespite its size, the Man O’ War is actually surprisingly lightweight, especially given its 12-hour-plus battery life.
