  • Incredibly lightweight, Comfortable, Positional audio works great in newer Windows, Individual controls over all 8 channels, Driver-free installation for eSports tournaments and cross-platform compatibility, Hard shell case included for traveling
  • Expensive, Poor 50% compatibility for Windows XP, Mic has background hiss even at lowest sensitivity, Audio in 7.1 mode sounds a bit hollow, Unable to upmix stereo content to 7.1 or decode Dolby Pro Logic II audio, Blocks system controls in Mac and XP...
  • Deficient only in its ability to upmix stereo content and play nice with Windows XP, Razer's Megalodon is the clear winner in the personal surround sound arms race. The headset's attention to comfort, sound quality, game compatibility and tournament re...

  • Comfort, USB Sound card, Feature rich, Driver less, Market leading sound quality for a USB headset, Brilliant microphone, Well built, Virtual 7.1 surround sound
  • Virtual 7.1 surround sound, Expensive, Shows fingerprints and dirt fast
  • The Megalodon is yet another good product from Razer, but it is only barely worth the Recommended Award in my opinion. Yes the USB Sound card is nifty but it comes at almost the same cost as an X-Fi XtremeMusic sound which is miles ahead in terms of so...

  • Abstract:  Surround sound headsets are often more practical than a home theater system attached to your PC. We compare eight premium models from Arctic, Psyko, Cooler Master, Logitech, Creative, Thermaltake, Corsair, and Razer to figure out who sells the top opti...

  • Abstract:  Considering the Megalodons retail for $150, their price is in line with its competition from Logitech, Sennheiser, and Plantronics. The Megalodons are a bit flashy, with LED Razer logos on each ear cup, but that's what we come to expect from gaming headsets these days. Overall, the price for the..

  • Great 7.1-channel surround sound; good boom mic; comfortable; in-line control box; fully customisable surround sound and mic levels; includes high-quality carrying case
  • Won't work with Macs; USB connection only
  • While it may not be ideal for the casual PC gamer, due to its extensive customisation capabilities, the Razer Megalodon PC gaming headset sounds incredible and is very comfortable ...

  • In terms of gaming headsets Razer’s Megalodon is right up there with the best. As a 2.0 headset it provides clear and accurate sound with plenty of power when required though that is not its strongest point. Switching to 7.1 mode for games which sup...
