Razer Megalodon Gaming Headset

Finding the right Gaming Headset for your MAC can be hard, but here’s one for which I recommend. It’s none other than Razer Megalodon Gaming Headset.

The Razer Megalodon is a 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset designed specifically to incorporate the Razer Maelstrom Audio Engine, making it the definitive headset for gamers today. Utilizing next generation HRTF technologies and a superb DSP with unheard of processing power, the Razer Megalodon is the most advanced audio headset of its kind.

The Review

The Razer Megalodon is the flagship headset for Razer in 2009. Similar looking as the Carcharias, the Megalodon comes with flashy LEDs and an external Audio processing unit.

Announced at the Games Convention 2008 it is one of Razers most anticipated products.

Equipped with the Maelstrom Engine, based off a military technology for pilots, the Megalodon provides positional sound unseen in other headsets so far.

This gives any FPS-Gamer the necessary edge on a front that has been neglected by most gaming peripheral manufacturers so far, which is therefore the main target group.

Due to the superior sound in other environments like movies supporting Surround Sound, the Razer Megalodon also targets movie enthusiasts and audiophiles.

Engineered for gamers on the go, the Razer Megalodon combines comfort, portability and performance into a surround sound headset and sound processing solution. The Razer Maelstrom Audio Engine brings out the optimal surround soundstage in games by delivering deep booming bass and crisp, clear highs allowing you to hear and feel every shot that whizzes by your head.
