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.

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.

For years, gamers have been seeking ways to feel more connected to their games. The games industry has met that desire with force feedback controllers, flashing lights that synch up with on-screen action and even fans that blow air to simulate movement.

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.

Immersion is what we're all looking for in video games, and while game developers strive to make worlds, narratives and gameplay experiences that draw you in deeper than ever before, there's ways that you can give them a leg up.

Haptic sensors are a game changer; Clear; powerful audio; Exceptionally comfortable; Great usability

Haptics don't help less intense games; No physical control for haptics; USB dongle is very small

The pursuit of immersion has taken us to some weird places. I wonder what archaeologists, thousands of years from now, will make of the swathe of plastic steering wheels, guitars and tennis bats we've used for gaming purposes. Peripherals always seem a little odd at first.

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.
