Razer Nari Essential Review
Razer's Nari Essential gaming headset offers solid wireless performance at a budget-friendly price. The $99.99 headset works with PCs and PlayStation 4 consoles, and features a solid, comfortable build and surprisingly powerful sound. It also provides 7.1-channel simulated surround sound and plenty of options for tweaking the audio balance, but only on PC; if you use it with a PS4 you're limited to stereo and stock EQ. Even still, the Nari Essential offers excellent value, and earns our Editors' Choice for affordable wireless gaming headsets.
Design
The Nari Essential is a big, unmistakably Razer headset. The black plastic earcups are large and circular, with Razer logos on the back panels. They don't light up like they do on the Nari Ultimate; they're simply etched. The round, memory foam earpads are covered in faux leather on the inner and outer sides, and a more breathable soft fabric on the top, where they rest against the ears and the sides of the head.
All connections and ...
The Razer Nari Essential is a budget-friendly wireless gaming headset that will please PC gamers with its powerful audio performance.
