killamch89 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Razer released their own wireless earbuds recently with ANC (Active Noise Cancelling). At $200, the price is a bit steep for wireless buds with so many quality products on the market at lower prices. What do you think about this? Secondly, why are most manufacturers copying Apple's design of their wireless buds? It's freaking lazy by Razer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterlight Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 This is better than apple earpod which just came out recently. At least it is affordable and gives better sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound on the airpod is actually pretty good and they're one of the few with active noise cancelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egghead Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 For me $200 for ear buds is way too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are tons within the $30 - $60 Like these that will be just as good if not better. The only "advantage" as far as I can see is thier much advertised 60ms latency, but think about it. This makes minimal to no difference while listening to music or watching video. As for gaming if you have to the device in you hand or on a table in front of you anyway.... Why not just use just the mic on the device where the latency is zero! It makes no sense, there trying to address a problem that doesn't exist.

Shagger Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 4I recently bough a pair of ear pods with ANC for £30 (about $32-$34 US), so what's in these to justify the other $160-$170? As far as I can tell, nothing. Like I said, they both have AND, the both had roughly the same battery life and they both had the same kind of rubber tips for the ear pieces. The only thing I'm not sure of is my ones are waterproof or not and my earpods don't have an indigenous app (although I doubt how useful such a thing would be). They're $200 simply because it's Razer, and for no other reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know Razer sells overpriced products - I wonder what you'd say about the Covid mask they made with a filter, RGB and a microphone in it. I'm not sure who's the bigger idiot - Razer for making these ridiculous overpriced products or the idiots who keep buying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin11 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 It doesn't mean copy, provided they're doing it well, I don't see any infringement that comes with that. At least Razor made a cheaper earbuds compared to what Apple did, which is more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatman Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Aren't they supposed to come with it? Even ordinary earphone that used to come with all phones, they are now taking it out and for what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 They are far cheaper now when they came out back then, I would of think that they have a newer series by now and I stick with Headphones please. They are cool but you are paying for the god damn name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
