Not sure what Razer was thinking by inviting one of the fiercest audiophiles critics to their HQ and to test their stuff, but hey props to them. Hope they can use your feedback to at least make their overpriced shit bearable. Also if Razer doesn't collab with you for a decent tunning for one of their sets, they're missing out big time.
Razer has, recently, been taking criticism and improving upon it. They did it with their keyboards, hopefully they will also do it with their headphones.
Yes, their mice are top of the class, not the over hyped crap they used to be, and Logitec still hasn't address double clicking issues in their top models.
@@jonathanbataller6285 Because the bigger market has tendency to feel "Higher volume + Big bass = good" and no one to say they are wrong. Razer catering to the biggest market is a good idea. If Razer dabble in Audiophile, they already need to understand that market size and subsequent sales will be lower, hence technically not a good decision for the company in revenue sense, but could be in "market" and "brand class" sense.
@@LargeBanana they could maybe start small by trying to make audiophile drivers for earbuds and release it for a reasonable price and see how the public react
Ah I see what they're doing, an ancient technique; entice the greatest weapon against them -- a true audiophile critique -- to join their forces and pacify resistance, this is a very crafty and cunning maneuver on their behalf, very crafty indeed...
@@ordoordo8917 I never really even thought about it, but yeah didn't razer have really shit quality switces that would fail, and now they're really nice?
@@ianmacdonald4163 Yeah, I've been using their huntsman mini with their new switches for a while now and it's really nice. their viper was also a staple for me until i switched to the logitech superlight for the weight difference, but while i used it for the year or so it was an excellent mouse. I get the feeling they'll be working on their headphones like they did on their keyboard and mice lineup.
Razer is one of the companies I'd be totally interested to see work with crinicle. In the last few years they've really listened to enthusiast feedback and improved as well as innovated in the keyboard hobby, something I'd love to see them try in the headphone space as well.
I've been buying Razer products for quite some time. And there's been a lot of benefits that go over with the current gaming accessories. Such as optical switches for their mice and analog switches. It would be really cool to see some professional sounding headphones with cooling gel, and of course RGB. But the limits aren't even there as they could even get more ambitious and make a Dock.
Razer products are really overpriced and have terrible build quality / durability. Unsurprising when 70% of the price is going towards Bond villain lairs and marketing.
@@spacechannelfiver I'd have to disagree at least for their keyboard department. Most prebuilt 60% keyboards of the same quality hover around the 150$ price line which they've managed to keep themselves roughly in line with. The new analogue switches razer started manufacturing comes from an old hal-effect design and enthusiasts have been trying to get them working in consumer grade boards for ages. hal-effect switches use a different internal mechanism which makes them more precise as well as durable. I cant say much about their other divisions, but their keyboards are no longer the garbage they used to make.
@@MarksterC What I mean is, they treated him well enough that he would say "these headphones leave much to be desired and are extremely underwhelming" rather than "they're dogshit go next"
I have the razer blackshark v2 x, highly recommend spending 2-3k on a good dac and amp, it fixed all of its problems for me and completely transformed this headphone into something that can compete with utopia
This could be interesting... if they actually work with Crinacle to improve how their headsets sound. I mean, we all know that cheap doesn't actually mean the product has to be bad. But if this is the beginning and the end of their interaction, then I think Razer is probably missing out.
@@Summer-xu8qu Their lack of quality control and reliability should kill off any potential collaboration. Not to mention their support is absolute dogshit. And that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Razer's problematic history. There's such a high potential for a collaboration to be brand damaging, it's not worth the trouble.
@@xaytana yeah that's true. I'd push for Crin just improving the audio quality across the whole range. However, if they have just as shitty quality as they do now, then maybe it's not worth it. Though the potential to raise audio quality on gaming headsets across the entire industry, due to competition, would be something I'd love to see.
The M2 with it's buckling spring switches Is quite close. And if that doesn't suffice you could try to make some M82 Pandas(Invyr panda housing, and spring and -bolt- stem from a Barret M82).
Their office is made with gaming cement that increases the building strength by 100% and UV resistance by 150%. Their gaming door gave 50% movement speed for 3 seconds after you go pass it.
I genuinely wanna know who recommended they contact the guy who only reviews sound with no other considerations (not that the comfort, mics, and features are amazing) to look at their headphones.
Just finishing up the video and I'm praying Razer watches this and considers making open-back headphones for their market segment. I'm sick of people asking me which gaming headset to buy at work and having to say I use a dedicated headphone and mic setup and recommend you do too because it's all kinda shit. They could release open back headphones without a mic even. Someone needs to market that setup to gamers. They already have a reasonable dedicated mic they sell and no headphones to sell with it.
Funny thing is that if Razer were to approach their headsets like they've done their gaming mice and mousepads the past year/year and a half, they'd be making huge strides to the right direction.
I've heard that the Razer Opus is pretty good for the price, and from experience the Hammerhead pro THX isn't bad if you catch them on sale. However any of the presets other than THX or a custom one range from head in a subwoofer to putting the microphone in a blender.
The Opus (THX version) are really nice cans for the price you can get them for these days ($99 or lower). Their EQ is pretty close to flat which is nice so no obnoxious bass or treble peaks
Razer are brave enough to be open to audiophile feedback on their gaming headphones? I am honestly pleasantly surprised and looking forward to what, if anything, comes of this.
I am so glad that youtube algorithm did its thing and recommended this to me. It's informative and hilarious at the same time, definitely will binge watch your other videos now.
I had the razer kraken tournament additions before I was enlightened by getting into speakers and they sounded awesome when I didn't know any better. I eventually upgraded to some Sennheiser HD 25-1 II's that I snagged for $50 for a couple months then upgraded to some Shure 1540's which are some of of the most open closed backs you'll hear
awsome! you have to do this with more gaming Headsets!! Specially hyperx cloud. people always say that they are decent would love to see your take on it!
Razer: advertises facemasks as N95 during a pandemic when they're not even close to protecting you from COVID Crin: ends the video by saying "don't die"
@@PhoenicopterusR The Razer mask wasn't even N95. The filters they used were *potentially* rated N95 according to Razer, but the mask itself was so poorly designed that breathing would compromise the seal, effectively nullifying the filtration. It was a poorly designed, unsafe product being sold to people as something that could protect you from COVID, when it was likely as effective as holding a piece of paper in front of your face.
not everyone its an audiophile and gamers love practicity hence why people keep buying all the gaming headsets lineup. they are just convenient for gaming
I remember years ago... I had a steel series headphone for gaming, quite unremarkable. It broke down after 6 months and i got reimbursed. I ended up buy a Razer Kraken (i think). One hour later, i brought it back because it was so shit... Finally bought a Sennheiser HD 559, best choice i made that year.
Mind it there is countless videos praising it is (V2 Pro & X) the Best Gaming Headphone Ever I pray for the owners peace if they ever got thorugh this video
Watching this video with a Razer Blackshark V2 X, I can barely imagine sound that will come out of a Crin approved device. I don't think Razer is bad, I think my ears just haven't been opened to the good shit
For me when switching I didn't really notice a difference. But after some time with the new headphones you start to notice a difference and when switching back I started to miss the detail and balance that the others provided. my point being don't hype them up to be instantly much better
@@FexiSponge Absolutely agree. Everytime I try new headphones/speakers I feel a bit disappointed because I hype myself up too much. Only after weeks, sometimes months do I start really loving them and understanding their characteristics
Open backs with regulated haptics could be cool if the tuning is nailed perfectly, i don't think that will ever happen since we're talking about RAZER...
I always wanted to see you review a gaming headphones, you never include them in your database. but it's interesting to see an audiophile take on it lol Edit: also TIL Razer is a singaporean company
I am so baffled by the comments saying "Razer should work with crinacle, Razer should consult him on how to make a good audiophile headphone". You guys have to realize that Razer is a multi-billion dollar company, they could hire the best sound engineers there is, not some random audiophile TH-camrs lol. There is a huge difference between professional audio engineer and audiophile youtuber. Professionals create, engineered, tune, research, make stuff. TH-camrs like crinacle and zreviews are just merely normal people with opinions about audio. Razer could spend a lot of its revenue towards a better sounding headphone, but they wouldn't because their generic sounding HPs are selling well. And people are fine with the sound of the current Razer headphones. It just works and looks cool.
To be fair crinacle has done a lot of collabs with companies where he tunes iems. Sure he isn't a "professional" but countless audiophile brands only create mid and mediocre stuff(despite presumably being able to get professionals to help out).
I can agree I think the haptic feed back at low levels has some real potential with some applications. I really enjoy the ambiance it adds to gaming audio and even some bass heavy music.
i just woke up and made the most amazing breakfast i've made in months. i go on to my computer to find a good video to watch, its fucking crinacle. could this morning get better
I love the idea of haptic bass for heaphones, it's one of the things I miss with headphones compared to speakers. I miss the bass in the chest they mighty heavy slam. If B&W or B&O made a nice sophisticated haptic bass enhancement it would be great.
hopefully this means they're looking to find out whats missing and develop something from there. They are a supervillian brand. They will clone the best shit on the market and drop it in all black and green with a great look. I cant wait to buy a Razer Kraken 800s with and without haptic feedback
Honestly...doesn't matter even if crinacle makes the perfect sounding Razer headphone...the proprietary software you are forced to use will eventually bug out and corrupt your windows software.
100%, had to manually FULLY uninstall razer synapse, by following a guide, in order to get my razer products to work again. Razer's software, doesn't work, i even helped them find the problem, which involved giving them potentially compromising information about my computer. Their solution wasn't to fix their own software, because allegedly, they couldn't find a problem... Their solution, was for ME to completely reformat my computer, lmao... if your software requires users to periodically reformat their PC to make sure your software keeps working, then your software doesn't work, it's broken. xD
@@MyouKyuubi Nowadays I make sure to only buy peripherals that don't use proprietary software like Razer, Corsair etc... These programs slowly corrupt your file system and overtime all these corruptions eventually break your system...it's like a cancer.
Contractor of building listening to Razer's design requests: "what do you mean the entire building is black with green accents?!" That HQ building is just another example of their... quality
Razer HQ looks out of place smack dab in the middle of an industrial office area, until you realize that nearby there's a food court made of shopping containers and everything there is weird
You should include in headset reviews their official EQ software. Would be interesting to see how far they go with their official supported EQ software. I feel it would be unfair to these non-audiophile headphones by not including their other features.
Let me preface this by saying that I am not an audiophile, just a gamer who got lost in the youtube algorithm Anyways, I have razer nari ultimate and honestly I was blown away by the vibrators (haptics). Especially in milsim shooters that I love to play. Feeling the reverb from the tank firing or a machinegun going off or from an explosion (like an artillery barage or something) really elevates the experience. (I keep mine at 30% haptics power for most games, taht way it acts on only the actual loud sounds) It's great for games but I don't think it's meant for music, or whatever you audiophiles listen to (rainforest sounds? I dunno).
I love that you they can have your opinion without relying on your approval for sales. It leaves them in an opportune setting where (should they care) they can actually try for greatness unabated and have someone who knows providing valid input on whats wrong and what to do better
Wow, you guys are really negative! Damn, and I thought I. was negative. If the worst thing a 'true audiophile' can say about your computer gaming headset is that it's not good and that it's gimmicky haptics has potential, that's a friggin' glowing review to me. I don't buy gaming headphones for the best in sound, because I have literally studio monitors for computer speakers. I need a mic that doesn't pickup everything in the room, a closed back so I can hear the game and not what's going on in the room, and I need software/drivers that work. Also need to wear the headset all day. Though the idea of stuffing insulation behind the drivers to eliminate the reflections of the backwave is intriguing! Razer actually used screws to hold the drivers in. It would be great if Razer really did come out with a high end gaming headset but I don't want them tuned to the typical 'audiophile' preference. This 'negative' review really makes me take the new Kraken more serious despite the gimmicky haptics.

Skullcandy crusher evos
Crin: "Underwater"
Me: *dead*
OMG, this got my sub. "All of them aren't good but some of them aren't bad "? mark"
hopefully this means they're looking to find out whats missing and develop something from there. They are a supervillian brand. They will clone the best shit on the market and drop it in all black and green with a great look. I cant wait to buy a Razer Kraken 800s with and without haptic feedback
Razer's customer-service in Europe is so ridiculously bad that I can't recommend their products to anyone for any reason.
We've had gaming chairs, gaming tables, gaming everything really. But a gaming office building?! I mean just look at it!
"Hey, this is for games purpose. Not for serious listening session."
Alright we've got Dusk, Midnight, and Eclipse
Now get ready for Crin x Razer: Afternoon
Afternoon delight
Honestly...doesn't matter even if crinacle makes the perfect sounding Razer headphone...the proprietary software you are forced to use will eventually bug out and corrupt your windows software.
100%, had to manually FULLY uninstall razer synapse, by following a guide, in order to get my razer products to work again.
Razer's software, doesn't work, i even helped them find the problem, which involved giving them potentially compromising information about my computer.
Their solution wasn't to fix their own software, because allegedly, they couldn't find a problem... Their solution, was for ME to completely reformat my computer, lmao... if your software requires users to periodically reformat their PC to make sure your software keeps working, then your software doesn't work, it's broken. xD
@@MyouKyuubi Nowadays I make sure to only buy peripherals that don't use proprietary software like Razer, Corsair etc... These programs slowly corrupt your file system and overtime all these corruptions eventually break your system...it's like a cancer.
@@deshan79 check out VAXEE, their mice are good
@@zahitemremetin606currently using glorious model O. Not using the optional rgb software though. Plug and play.
“It legitimately makes me feel like a barracuda” - OH NO “like I’m underwater” SHEEEEEEEEEEESH
If DankPods was reincarnated into a chill Asian guy, this is gonna be him. You have a new subscriber now lmao
Contractor of building listening to Razer's design requests: "what do you mean the entire building is black with green accents?!"
That HQ building is just another example of their... quality
imagine if razer hired you to tune their future audio products
Razer HQ looks out of place smack dab in the middle of an industrial office area, until you realize that nearby there's a food court made of shopping containers and everything there is weird
I like how he uses a Glorious mouse
You should include in headset reviews their official EQ software. Would be interesting to see how far they go with their official supported EQ software.
I feel it would be unfair to these non-audiophile headphones by not including their other features.
Let me preface this by saying that I am not an audiophile, just a gamer who got lost in the youtube algorithm
Anyways, I have razer nari ultimate and honestly I was blown away by the vibrators (haptics). Especially in milsim shooters that I love to play. Feeling the reverb from the tank firing or a machinegun going off or from an explosion (like an artillery barage or something) really elevates the experience. (I keep mine at 30% haptics power for most games, taht way it acts on only the actual loud sounds)
It's great for games but I don't think it's meant for music, or whatever you audiophiles listen to (rainforest sounds? I dunno).
TJ must’ve been extra generous for Crin to say their name like that 😂😏
I love that you they can have your opinion without relying on your approval for sales. It leaves them in an opportune setting where (should they care) they can actually try for greatness unabated and have someone who knows providing valid input on whats wrong and what to do better
Opus v2 allegedly good
Wow, you guys are really negative! Damn, and I thought I. was negative. If the worst thing a 'true audiophile' can say about your computer gaming headset is that it's not good and that it's gimmicky haptics has potential, that's a friggin' glowing review to me.
I don't buy gaming headphones for the best in sound, because I have literally studio monitors for computer speakers. I need a mic that doesn't pickup everything in the room, a closed back so I can hear the game and not what's going on in the room, and I need software/drivers that work. Also need to wear the headset all day.
Though the idea of stuffing insulation behind the drivers to eliminate the reflections of the backwave is intriguing! Razer actually used screws to hold the drivers in.
It would be great if Razer really did come out with a high end gaming headset but I don't want them tuned to the typical 'audiophile' preference.
This 'negative' review really makes me take the new Kraken more serious despite the gimmicky haptics.
Sick editing let's go
If anything I'm impressed none of them just fell apart in his hands
"Barracuda does make me feel like a barracuda........ _like I'm under water"_ 💀
even razer HQ looks like a gamer basement
Even there building is gamer in a derogatory way
More and more Singapore moves higher on the list of places I will visit. Wow, it looks beautiful
Watching this with my BlackShark v2 X
OMG, a first keyboard that isn't made for ants at 2:58? ME IMPRESSED! I need one of those...
Bro went straight and made razer cry.
Gamer headphones exposed let's go~
Love your videos man, super knowlageable. Keep up the grind man.
"keep wondering because I don't test that" was a great line that actually made me cackle
Hope this would led to razer finally making something open back
Watched this on my phone speakers for the razer experience
