Razer Piranha Gaming Communicator

The Piranha Gaming Communicator from Razer is a high quality headset made specifically for PC gamers. The headset is available in a black color with a blue Razer logo emblazoned on the ear cups. The triple headed snake logo has LED lights that glow blue when the USB cable is plugged in.

The Piranha’s cable measures approximately 9 feet and is single-sided to keep the cables out of the way. The cable features a robust braided fiber construction for maximum durability. The headset has an in-line remote control that lets the user set the microphone on mute and adjust the volume levels easily.

The Razer Piranha Gaming Communicator supports most major operating systems and connects to a computer via an audio and microphone jack as well as a USB cable. The USB cable needs to be plugged in in order for the LED lights to function. With a 3.5 mm mini plug, the Piranha Gaming Communicator can also be used for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) conversations as well as headphones for media players.

Designed to be used for extended gaming sessions, the Piranha Gaming Communicator features an ergonomic design and generous amounts of padding. The headphones are fully adjustable to provide the most comfortable fit. The ear pieces also swivel so they fit the contours of the wearer’s ears better. The headset is fully padded with foam and is covered by a soft fabric.

The Razer Piranha Gaming Communicator’s uni-directional microphone is also adjustable. The boom is flexible to allow the user to better position the microphone. It can also rotate by about 110 degrees. For added voice clarity, the microphone also features noise filtering technology.
