Razer Megalodon - 7.1 Channel Headset Review

Page 2 - Packaging and specifications

In the begining we must accent on on a feature that makes the headphones quite intriguing, namely - the 7.1 channel sound, created by software (still, lets not get ahead of ourselves, more about the technology we'll say later on). The product packaging style is naturally unmistakably Razer. The main product box is clean, black and with side opening panel bearing a single (again in black) line - "Put sound in its place", with all the additional informative info printed on a cardboard sleeve fitted over it. The additional info itself is nothing short of extensive, it will acquaint you pretty well with the product before you even open the box.

The headphones themselves are placed in very nice looking plastic case covered by synthetic fiber, with the Razer printed on top. It also uses an interesting "reversed" type of zipper that at least appears to provide some water proofing (although that indeed is merely our opinion on the matter, and since no real testing was ever done, nor there is any mention of such property of the case, we do not advice you to test it, because should we're wrong that will lead to inevitable damage to the hardware!).

The case interior has special shape covered in extra fine cloth in order to house in perfect harmony both the headphones and the external audio controller. The cloth used on the headphones themselves is also with interesting texture, a "breathing" material of sorts, that will not make you ears sweat (after prolonged use) like some headphones using leather.
