most likely, but for streaming, image is really important.

even if it doesnt perform like a pro standard product, razer know how to make something aesthetically pleasing

price is about the same as a decent condenser mic. most of which dont come with all the accessories that this one had.

Nothing more than a repriced, rebranded, reskinned Blue Microphones Yeti. Go and take a look at the specifications of both, and you'll notice they're identical.

Basically, buy a Yeti and you'll get the same thing for far less.

which is why we sell that too.

the cool thing about being a retailer is that you can offer your customers a range of options.

what a time to be alive.

The ONLY thing I can think about now are the last two south park episodes playing over and over and over in my head...

is that because he uses the Razer Seiren?

but this is exactly Razer's market - those that want the image and the badge. Not for dealhunters. I see them kind of like an Apple of Gaming brands.

exactly this. Razer has a huge following. They are our largest peripheral brand currently. Regardless of the enthusiast opinion, the mass marketability of their brand is hard to argue with.
Someone who is dead set on a razer product isnt going to buy a blue microphone. same as an iphone user isnt going to buy a windows phone.

Comparing Razer to Apple lolzor

why is it?

they are a premium brand with an excellent end user experience. in terms of PC hardware, they draw a lot of similarities with apple.

unless you know something I dont?

Seems crazy that anyone would bother with this Razer Mic?

why?

look at it from another point of view, you have a 4770k according to your sig right?

there are many that would argue that the i5 would be a better option. yet you got the i7.

same with peripherals.

Blue smash the streamer industry and for good reason youve got some huge players in terms of audio this is a bad move from razer!

I'll be sure to post back the sales figues compared to the blue units when it has been in stock for a bit.

I honestly don't rate Razer as premium, I've had many a mouse from them and all have failed in a short period of time, like 6 to 12 months (mouse 1 or 2 gone or scroll wheel breaking or another issue). They are just very well marketed, a bit like Apple in a sense that way, but at least with Apple they truly are, or have been, a premium brand.

As much as I hate to argue with you here, when compared the the customer experience of other products we sell, Razer are undoubtedly the best in terms of both the product experience to the end user, support offered to us as a retailer which in turn translates to service abilities we are able to offer end users and also pricing.

In terms of PC gaming peripherals, their flagship products (which given the price of the Seiren mic, is included in this statement) are unbeatable by any competitor.

Your perception of premiumness is based entirely on product failure. I notice you didn't mention any other brands when drawing a.comparison either.

 

[rjk]

Who's arguing? We're grown ups here, right?

I didn't mention other brands because, well, I've not had any fail on me. In fact, I still use both a Logitech MX300/G1 that I've had for going on 10 years now and they're both still in tip top shape after heavy usage that they've had in Quake3/Quakelive.

Perhaps not arguing. More disagreement maybe. I have a gen 1 deathadder, A lycosa and an original boomslang. All working. no problems to report. Its not a miracle when things work for an exrended period of time really. But your posts seem to hint that products that remain functional for many years are more premium or something.

Mentioning Logitech in the same vein as premium peripherals is pretty odd considering their main selling point is that they sort stuff out efficiently when it goes wrong.

 

[rjk]

That's a fair post and an impressive end user peripheral collection to draw reference from.

One thing I will say is that you will never see people starting threads to say "hey guys I got my new mouse and it works totally as expected"

People only take to the internet when things are going wrong.

I do not hate razer, in fact I have razer gears and they still going strong. But this post is a bit misleading. Logitech has revenue of 2.1b 2013 while razer was expecting 250m for 2014. Logitech sales is almost 10x of that of razer based on estimated worldwide revenue. So the sales of both brand in OCUK is really too small a sample to conclude:

logitech gaming compared to razer gaming is what he is talking about.

logitech turnover is generated from audio, accessories and oem/business products. not gaming.

so it got reviewed pretty well.
