Razer Chimaera 5.1 Wireless Gaming Headset Review

 

New wireless headset brings creative new ideas to surround sound gaming audio, but comes with a few limiting factors.

Others may feel differently or focus exclusively on Xbox 360, but for us cross-platform players, it's a tough sell.

EH!

 

for a $200 head set i should be able to walk 80ft away, and it should auto detect which sound devices i am using. Not all motherboards have optical in and out.

optical audio, comfortable, stylish, light weight

pricey, the range is only about 15ft with no LoS, 20 with LoS. Standing right outside the office window I get lots of interference, while 20ft away in the kitchen there is none... so long as I can SEE the transceiver, as soon as its out of LoS i get...
