Setup / Performance
Razer’s Megalodon headset is made to be portable,
no need for drivers so you can plug it into any computer and within moments, it’s game on. You can use these headsets for pretty much any purpose, movies, music and anything your heart desires. My most memorable experience testing was a couple weeks ago on an airplane, where the Megalodons literally drowned out the screaming kid 2 seats behind, and I felt a tinge of pride as I recall the number of people who had, after seeing the audio processor dancing with activity on the fold down table next to my laptop, tapped me on the shoulder to ask what type of headphones I was using.
That being said the Megalodons shine when used in a gaming environment. They literally immerse you into the game, especially with windows 7, the audio positioning is picked up perfectly in games and can give you the definite advantage when an enemy is lurking around a corner, or scrunching in the snow just outside of your window. I’ve tested these extensively in FPS games such as Modern Warfare 2, Shattered Horizon and Battlefield Bad Company 2, and all have left me with a mind-numbing experience. You will literally be shocked as you hear the eargasmic sounds of shells exploding and bullets whizzing past, more than once you’ll have to take a look at the room walls to make sure there’s not bullet holes where you heard the sound of impact behind you.
Conclusion:
Overall this headset was well worth the money spent, and perfect for PC gamers who want to get the most out of their headphones without putting a drain on their system resources. I’ve used these headphones in gaming, Teamspeak, Ventrillo, and so many sound applications they’re just too numerous to mention. All with relatively no problems compared to many other headsets I’ve used. They are priced equal to similar products in the market and have an added value of being Razer branded , a company that is composed mostly of gamers themselves. I’ve personally experienced their customer service and know for a fact their staff stands behind their products and they fully believe in the satisfaction of its customers.
