Razer BlackShark Over Ear Noise Isolating PC Gaming Headset
- Filled with comfortable memory foam that almost completely blocks out all background noise.
- They love the fit, comfort and noise-cancelling feature.
- It really does block out a lot of background noise.
- Noise cancelling is alright. Very minimumal sound can be head. Just like wearing ear muffs.
- The noise-isolation is fantastic, I don't like being able to hear others when I'm using my headphones cause that would defeat the purpose.
Razer Nari Essential Wireless 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset
- The noise cancelling isn't great, but it works well against ambient sounds.
