The Razer Nari Ultimate is a beautifully-designed high-end headset that delivers not only an exceptional audio experience, but a comfortable one too. With high-end features like haptic feedback, THX Spatial Audio and cooling gel-infused earcups, it's hard not to be impressed.

Comfort, communication and immersion are the three pillars most manufacturers tend to consider when it comes to gaming headphones.

The Razer Nari Ultimate sometimes feels less like a great haptic gaming headset and more of a great gaming headset with haptics thrown in for good measure.

Solid audio playback; Feature rich;

Haptics are sometimes overwhelming; Limited battery life;

Glad I took thes plunge on these, I thought the haptic feedback would be a gimmick, but it actually adds to the experience, little things like a sword swing and footsteps you can feed in your headphones, it's kind of difficult to explain but definitely enhances games and movies too. It has cooling gel in the headset padding that goes over your ears, it really does feel quite nice after long sessions. Mic quality 6/10 it sounds good but I feel like it's extremely quiet and needs to be put right by your mouth for friends to hear clearly. Sound quality 9/10 for me I can't complain it's very balanced in all tones, doesn't have extreme bass like a lot of gaming headsets which I love. Set up is easy, just hold power button and press wireless button on your Xbox console and you're ready to go. Battery life is about 4–6 with haptics on at max level, it can be adjusted by 4 levels of intensity, if they are turned off you get about 14 hours on a 4 hour charges.

I purchased this for my Xbox series X. It has problem with connection after turning off. Some other brand’s headsets also have the same problem. I contacted RAZER to see if they can provide a firmware update to fix this issue like others. But unfortunately after asking twenty questions, they simply say sorry please contact Microsoft for it. They have no solution and they refuse to investigate further. STAY AWAY FROM IT!

Sound is not that good at all and even with all lights off battery die really soon… I will send back and get my redound.

I've had these for a number of months now, I use them with my race sim, and they do sound amazing and the haptic feedback when you hit rumble strips on the track sound unreal. But the issues I face are the sound cuts out or distorts terribly from time to time, I initially put it down to expecting too much from a first gen xbox one, I pre ordered a series x which arrived on release day. Not only does it still cut out or sound like they're under water, but with the series x, almost every time I use them, I need to resync them to my console. It's a pity, because when they're working, my God, brilliant, I regret spending so much on something that doesn't do what it should, every single time it's used

There’s one area where PC gamers get consistently overlooked: haptics. Haptic feedback (or rumble, in the vernacular) has been a mainstay of console gaming for almost two decades now, and for good reason. Smart usage can both increase immersion and provide invaluable feedback to players, e.g. letting you feel the moment digital tires lose traction on slick asphalt, or warning that an enemy’s shooting at you.

Incredibly comfortable and aided by cooling gel in the ear cups, the Razer Nari Ultimate is a haptics-enabled headset that doesn’t feel like a one-off gimmick. The only sticking point is the $200 price tag.

Haptics are sophisticated enough to justify their inclusion; Extremely comfortable; Cooling gel in the earcups is a nifty trick;

Cooling gel warms up too quickly; Tying haptics intensity to volume is a bizarre move; $200 price a bit steep;
