According to our gaming headset expert
The Razer Nari Essential is made for gamers looking for a wireless gaming headset without too much fuss. The headset lasts 16 hours on a single charge. And so do you, as the cooling gel in the ear cups lets you keep playing comfortably. The headband moves along with your head, and is reinforced with double aluminum headbands. You can play the latest PC games with THX support, which simulates sound in the space around you instead of it sending it from one direction. You can quickly mute your microphone with the quick mute function.
Note: 7.1 Surround Sound only works on PC.

Okay, I have to admit: I may not be the best person to write an objective review of this headset. My previous headset once cost three bucks and was held together in its last days by adhesive tape, super glue, and sheer willpower. I think even my own sound effects (peepee, boom!) during gaming would have been better quality than the old fiasco I called my headset. That's why I only have positive things to say about this product. A bit like driving a dilapidated Fiat Multipla your whole life, and suddenly switching to a Tesla Model X.
Let me start with the looks. It's smooth, sleek, streamlined, and all sorts of other English words. With the Synapse software you can change the sides in all colors of the rainbow, so that your jacket with your bag, your skirt with your top, and your headset with your entire outfit. You can slide the microphone all the way in so that it is not in your field of view all the time. You can also set EVERYTHING with the Synapse software. It's a bit of fiddling, but once you understand how it works, you can switch with a few clicks to optimal sound for a movie, music, or a super-intelligent TED talk about higher Mathematics that you can do interesting with later.
And then the sound. Have you ever chuckled in front of the speakers with your friends at a school dance? To look at each other with wide eyes under inaudible wooojooos when the DJ Gabbertje from Hakkûhbar started playing and your insides were almost tossed up? With the "intelligent haptics" (which is just a hip term for GUEST MY HEAD VIBRATES) you can now feel your favorite music in your anus. Kind of like when you first saw Jurassic Park in the cinema and the vibrations in the cup of water announced the T-Rex. For an optimal holy shit moment, I recommend listening to Carl Orff's Carmina Burana with this headset. Then you suddenly learn to appreciate that poor guy who is allowed to beat his drum once in a while.
Anyway, some small things: there are cables with which you can connect the thing via a 3.5mm jack, and a USB charging cable. Furthermore, it works fine wirelessly with the small fliebel thing that is also included with Logitech products. In Synapse you can set it to switch off after a certain time to save battery, but if you just put it on the IV at night I can't imagine you ever running out.
Well, that was it. Recommended. Bye.
