"I am very good, but I could be better."
By Alexander Lopez on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2023
"My official rating is 4.8/5.0. This is my opinion on the Razer Nari Ultimate. To start, and most importantly, they are quite good and of excellent quality, and I highly recommend them – 100%. They are very enjoyable. Let's begin with the positive aspects of the product. The first point is that it's a very comprehensive package; it comes with everything, including cables and guides for use. The audio is another positive aspect. It's very pleasant and incredibly immersive when gaming or watching movies, especially within video games and, notably, horror games. You can feel the presence of something chasing you or breathing down your neck. The second point is comfort. They are quite comfortable to wear; I don't feel any extra weight, and they don't pull my hair. I also don't struggle to adjust them to fit my head perfectly. The third point is Bluetooth. It's the first time I've used headsets like this, and they've given me a lot of confidence, even though I tend to be quite skeptical about anything Bluetooth. As I mentioned before, I highly recommend them, and if you want quality, these are the best, and it's worth buying them. Now, let's discuss the negative points that I feel are somewhat unnecessary, but it's important to mention the downsides as well. The first negative point is the battery and its charging system. I combine these because they are related. The headphones should have a bit more battery life; I feel that 4 hours is too short if I want to do something other than gaming, such as watching movies or listening to music. However, I believe this is due to their own power for vibrations and everything. Another issue is the cable—not that it doesn't have a USB-C cable, but the problem is that if you use it for 4 hours, it gets discharged, and you have to connect it to another electronic device. It's not very clear whether you can use a phone charger or if it's mandatory to use a computer, gaming console, etc. I would have liked to know if I could connect it directly to a charger, and I don't do it because in a power change, it could damage the battery. So, I better follow the recommendations in the manual. The third negative point, which I see more as a potential future issue, is the unnecessary wheel for adjusting the game or chat volume. I think they could have left it with buttons or something different because I feel that with its current design, it may wear out in the future, and finding a central point might become challenging due to wear and tear. As mentioned before, they could have left it more like a system with volume buttons, maybe with 3 or 5 levels for game and chat audio. I feel that there might come a point where I won't know how to adjust that wheel to the central point. To conclude, the microphone has a peculiar issue. It seems to capture a lot of game audio, or more precisely, it picks up the voices of people around me, causing considerable echoing. The microphone itself is not bad; it's quite good and compact, but the problem is the excessive bouncing of audio, at least in shooter games."

Scam.
By A. CRUISE on Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2025
Bought this in May of 2024. I'd previously owned a wireless Razer Nari 7.1 headset for four years, but I had to get a new one after accidentally dropping it, which caused the left speaker to intermittently cut out before ultimately breaking and no longer producing sound. Completely my fault. I wanted another headset with the same ability to control game and chat volume, since I only have one monitor and didn’t want to have to tab out every time I needed to raise or lower the volume for the people I’m in a Discord call with. Since my previous headset had lasted years and only broke because I had dropped it, I figured going with another Razer headset was the right call. I’m extra careful with this headset since I want it to last me longer than the previous one, but a little over a month later, I started having issues. Whenever I plug in the headset, it connects, disconnects, connects again, and then turns off. When I turn it back on, it does the same thing. This typically goes on for 10 minutes until it finally stops. And when it starts running low on battery, a low humming noise that progressively gets louder and louder starts sounding. Contacted Amazon, I can’t return it. Obviously. The thirty-day return policy had passed at that point. I figure I might as well just stick it out for the next few years; I could always just charge it whenever I’m not using it, right? Wrong. The thing barely holds a charge for 6 hours, and, as I said before, the last 30 or so minutes of those 6 hours are with a humming noise that progressively gets louder. In December of 2024, the dongle stops working. Still not wanting to shell out another $150+ on a headset, I contacted Razer customer support (I initially contacted Amazon and they redirected me to Razer support). After all, the Amazon page here advertises a one-year warranty, and the Razer website advertises a two-year warranty for headphones and such. As it turns out, the headset I bought isn’t covered in the Razer warranty because I bought it from an unauthorized Amazon shop. When I click the link now, it says this headset is sold by Amazon Resale, but my purchase receipt says i-Tech Mall. Similarly, the product now says, the condition of this item is “Used: Very Good,” but the condition I was advertised was “New,” and that’s also reflected on my receipt. Cool. I spent $36 on a new dongle. All the old issues remain, but whatever. Just sat down, it’s been plugged in for the last 15 hours, and yet it hasn’t charged at all. My previous headphones would charge regardless of whether my computer was in sleep mode or if it was fully powered on. This one used to charge when my computer was in sleep mode, but I guess not anymore. And now the humming occurs regardless of whether or not my headset is low on battery. Guess I’ve learned my lesson to always double-check who the seller is; this was a scam.
