Although their main area of expertise is that of various gaming peripherals, the people over at Razer have also launched over time a few audio accessories, including here a special gaming audio card and a gaming surround system. However, the device you're about to see as follows, namely the Razer Piranha, launched back in October 2007, is a part of a whole different class of audio systems, namely headsets, which means that it allows users to enjoy fast and clear communications even during “heated” tournaments.



The Piranha headset delivers realistic in-game stereo audio with superior clarity and deep bass tones for discerning gamers requiring superior audio fidelity. Featuring plug-and-play functionality, the Razer Piranha also sports an adjustable noise-canceling microphone enabling gamers to communicate with teammates in the noisiest of gaming situations. The ergonomically designed and cushioned earphones also offer hours of comfort and functionality for extended gaming sessions.



With its in-line remote control, the volume on the Razer Piranha can be easily adjusted at a moment’s notice. A microphone mute button is also conveniently located on the remote, so gamers have the option to select which commands are sent out to those listening in. The Razer Piranha’s sleek design is further accented by the glowing Razer logos located on either side of the headset, ensuring that gamers are seen as well as heard at their next LAN party.



Furthermore, the Piranha headset has been fitted with a single-sided cable for hassle-free usage, the cable protection being provided by durable, braided fiber. The device also offers some pretty interesting technical specs, since the headphone module provides a frequency response of around 18 – 22,000 Hz at a 32-Ohm impedance, while the SPL (@ 1 kHz, 1 Vrms) is 114 dB. In the same time, the microphone provides a 80 – 15,000 Hz frequency response, while the sensitivity level (@ 1 kHz, 1V/Pa) is of -38 dB.



The Razer Piranha retails for around $79.99, which is a pretty small price to pay for such an item, taking into account the advanced audio features this thing can provide.
