Razer Unveils Megalodon 7.1 Gaming Headphones

Gamers have now another headphone in the list to choose from. Razer just announced the Megalodon 7.1 headphones which feature advanced technologies from the company. I say, when it comes to looks, I rather like it, but when it comes to gaming headphones, it’s more than just what could be seen at face value that matters.

The Razer Megalodon 7.1 is a surround round gaming headset that uses the brand’s new Maelstrom Audio Engine. Using that technology, positional audio cues are processed 800% faster than other virtual surround sound headphones. The Megalodon 7.1 is equipped with a mic for in-game conversations as well as controls to adjust the volumes. For sale on the fourth quarter of 2008, the Razer Megalodon 7.1 will retail for around US$149.99.

The problem is they seem to have the same headphones as the Razer Barracuda HP-1 Gaming Headphones, there is not enough depth inside the head phones for bigger ears. The constant pounding of weight on the ear lob make it near impossible to game with the head set on. These new ones look to have the same problem. The depth is better on the Steelsound 5Hv2, but I must say that the sound is better in the Barracuda. Just wish I could use the Razer drivers and the Steelsound cushioned head set. Hang on I just be able to do that. :-}

You wont need 2 upgrade your soundcard for this. Coz it uses a usb instead of 3.5 jacks and the Maelstrom engine simulates the surround sound , so that means you dont need a soundcard for this even a crappy one will go
