Ironclad Review
Razer didn't hold back on over-appealing aesthetics concept with this one, dress in very vivid green color, they called it 'venomous green', the Razer Orca is one very visually appealing headset.
The performance it gives whether for audio listening or gaming sessions is a delight joy. Punchy base coupled with crisp vocal clarity. On all volumes, the sound is top-notch, despite the Orca is not noise cancelling, the perfect fit over the ear cancels out the ambient noise exceptionally well.
The Orca is quite comfortable to use. Much like a lesser version of the Carcharias who is the lesser version of the Megalodon, the ear cups are rounded up with foam and cloth which sit softly, yet are stable over the ears. The 3.5mm jack wire is very long already, yet Razer supply a 2 meter extension cable in the same awesome pack with the headset, very nice. Oh, don't forget there is no mic on the Orca, which could be why it is slightly cheaper than the Razer Carcharias.
Overall, the Razer Orca may not be the first choice to get, but if you can accept the color and have a limited budget, then this will be a good headset to get.
First Hour Hand-on Review
1st minute: WOOW! The color is wicked sick, even brighter than the photos on the web
18th minute: The lack of mic makes multiplayer game experience lessen, Razer should come up with a stand-alone mic :P
22th minute: The headset feels cheap, and not worthy of the price paid
38th minute: The sound is exactly what to expect for such a headset
49th minute: The unintentional noise canceling is great too as an added on bonus
