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

An experience, for sure.

Haptic feedback could be pretty fun at times; Microphone quality; Comfortable; Strong wireless connection

Haptic feedback is also annoying at times; Sound quality isn't great; Overall build quality

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.

Auto-adjusting headband is a poor fit for smaller heads; Earcups are difficult to clean

Whether it's adventuring as Link in Legend of Zelda or climbing mountains in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, video games are a big part of my life, and over the years I've found ways to make playing them more immersive. That journey is dotted by a big-screen TV, wireless controllers, a sound bar and a comfy chair, but Razer's Nari Ultimate wireless gaming headset might be my next tool.

The wireless headset has haptic feedback to make gameplay more immersive. And, of course, it lights up.

Razer is well-established in the PC accessories space, producing some of the best keyboards, mice, and more for gamers. And with the latest line of Razer Nari headsets, its $200 flagship brings something fresh to the scene, with the ability to feel your game.

HyperSense haptics are game-changing; Great audio; Long battery life; Comfortable

Wireless over USB only

All good inventions came from those brave enough to step out of the mold, to break from the norm and develop something that us regular folk thought we didn't need.

Solid soundstage; All connectivity catered for; Plug and Play; Comfortable

Love/Hate relationship with vibrations; An expensive investment

The Razer Nari Ultimate introduces the company's haptic feedback technology to PC gaming in a major way, and we're here for it.

Haptic feedback has been a part of console gaming for so long that it almost feels as if PC gamers are missing out. We've seen some attempts with gaming mice but Razer have opted for a different approach: headphones.

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

Solid audio playback; Feature rich

Haptics are sometimes overwhelming; Limited battery life
