Is the Razer Electra V2 Any Good?

[Rhaemond]

It's being offered to it for me for 1000php (~20$) brand new. 

Is it worth taking? I don't think it is 7.1 or anything special though, maybe it's the brand?

for $20 its not bad. but i tend to stay away from raze headsets as razer has shown me time and time again they dnt know how to tune a headphone.

Can you elaborate that for me? I've always owned cheap headsets worth 6$ or less but never those high-end branded ones... Will it be worth taking?

It will be better than a $6.00 pair of headphones / headset and for $20.00 if its new (or slightly used) is a decent deal..

 

BUT

 

To elaborate:

 

 It will not sound nearly as good as purchasing a decent set of headphones from a reputable manufacturer and spending $75.00+ dollars.  Your clearly not super into audio so you will probably enjoy the Razer headset but just know there is options that sound way better and would be worth looking into once that Razer headset packs it in.

 

Some cheap entry level headphones that are good all rounders are the Status Audio CB-1 & Audio-Technica M40x w/ pad upgrade.

NOTE: if you ever purchase the audio technica headphones you MUST swap the pads to the ones i posted the stock ones are very uncomfortable and ruin the sound imo.

 

Cheers.

Yep like @Tz000 said what mean to say is for $20 that headset isn't bad. But their are better options for its market price. If that is your maximum budget that's probably the best your gonna find over there as a person who came from the Philippines myself I can understand how hard it is to find good gear.

thank you for that, but I'm sorry I cannot afford any of your suggestions since here in the Philippines peripherals like headsets are considered "premium add-ons" to the computer and are therefore inflated when it comes to sellers since they only sell them in specialized "gaming" stores and vendors tend to hold a monopoly on those to the point. Due to that, the interest in high-end audio is scarce and I haven't seen any Audio Technica headsets being sold in my area for ages.

Most gaming cafe's and high-end rigs only use headsets like this, this, or this one. These headsets are labelled as "gaming" due to the look and build but I know they are cheap (if you convert it to USD, it's only for around 4-7$ a piece) or from a local gaming brand, the last one, named Rakk, is especially notable here for its cheap gaming peripherals. 

So yeah, I really cannot afford any of your suggestions and if I can I couldn't find them here anyways, so again I apologize.

I have found other options though, and I have opened a new thread to ask for suggestions on what to pick. Your opinion would really be appreciated!

I opened a new thread to address my options! Hopefully you too can help me choose 

 thank you!
