Good overall headset. I would recommend getting your own SPDIF, RCA and 2.5/3/5mm cables if you do purchase this headset. Cables bundles are short and are not shielded well. Feedback is a certainty picking up humming either from your PSU or other moving parts on your PC/X360.
Pros:
  • Nice carbon fibre aesthetic
  • great range
  • multi use between PC/X360
Cons:
  • Base station is large
  • cables bundled rather short
  • difficult to run SPDIF and voice chat on PC
  • inconsistent holding of charge from battery

lasted a long time, good quality, but are outdated as of today

Good headphones, I dont have them any more because they finally retired. I am in the market for new headphones but I want a wireless 7.1 device capable of both Bluetooth and auxillary, or wireless USB. I will see if RAZOR makes some.

Razer Chimaera 5.1 headset review: aural pleasures

The Razer Chimaera 5.1 gaming headphones are pure auditory nirvana. I'm rarely blown away by sound, as the 2.1 stereo mix of my 40″ flat screen is passable at best. So nothing could prepare me for the deep, rich 5.1 sound coming from the Razer wireless headset.
