Razer Orca Gaming and Music Headphones

 (65 customer reviews)

I researched this pair of headphones for a while before I bought them through the Razer store. I needed a decent pair of headphones for music and gaming to replace my busted Bose Triports. So let me break down my review -

Comfort - These headphones really do feel nice. The cloth ear cups are a nice for a few hours of music or gaming, but become pretty itchy after that. They have great breathability, something that my Triports lacked badly. Overall, these are great feeling headphones that won't make your ears all sweaty and gross.

Durability - These headphones are made of plastic, so don't expect to be able to throw them against the ground after you get killed in MW2. I personally don't take them anywhere outside my condo, so I don't really need to worry about breaking them while listening to my iPod on the street. Overall, these aren't a pair of headphones that can take a lot of damage.

Sound Quality - I was very surprised about the sound quality of...Read more

EDIT: on 4/21/2011, i tugged a bit too hard (really hard) on the cord, and now they only work if i pull the cord to one side. also, i have to bump these down to 4 stars...not because of my stupidity, but because they seem to be wearing out where the plastic bends (when you put them on and take them off) and i dont see these lasting more than maybe a year and a half under heavy use. these are still very good for the price, but im beginning to question the durability.

OK, first off i got these for just over $47 thanks to buy.com. That being said, they are still worth the $60 MSRP. In the gorgeous box you get the headphones, a 3.5mm extension cable, some papers, and a big green Razer sticker.

REVIEW:
Let's start with the color...they are BLINDING green, and I couldn't be happier. I've decided to call the color "radioactive green" and I know that some people like subtle, but those same people tend to keep away from a company named Razer. Next is the feel...Read more

After buying this and buying the leatherette ear cushions from razerstore.com, there's absolutely nothing bad I can say about these headphones. Of course, except for the fact that I needed to buy separate $15 ear cushions for proper noise cancellation. The noise cancellation on the default cushions is absolutely horrid. The bass is also heightened from the ear cushions. Anyway, I find it absurd that the ear cushions were separate and not part of the headphones by default. The stock ear cushions make my chin feel itchy when I have it around my neck, and it makes my ears all hot and gross. So, that is minus one star. Other than that, the sound quality and everything is perfect. I've had countless people all across school compliment me on my headphones, and even someone who was passing me by on car stopped by me and asked where I got them from.
