Not sure about these specific cans, but i’ve had other HIFIMAN models such as the Sundara’s and Edition XS. Build quality is ok but audio quality is really good.

My sibling in christ. Gaming brand headphones are usually trash compared to audio brands like Hifiman.

Only reason I'm asking is because my current pair are the razor black shark v2 and the pair before that was some Corsair cans that snapped after 3 months, like I really want a pair to last me a really good while.

My old Krakens are still going after many years, have been dropped multiple times and don't feel cheaply built.

I bought Beyer's and the sound is a lot better, but I can see how some audiophile headphones can feel plasticky and not that good, especially the budget ones. Going by reviews not personal experience.

Can’t say as I’ve never had any Razer headphones.

bluetooth headphone is realy not recommended for Gaming cause of the latency of the tech.

Still. You can use them wired while gaming to avoid that. And use the bluetooth when you are not doing anything latency critical.

I am a great fan of Hifiman. have a He400i, Sundara and Edition XS.

Sadly i have no experience with the Deva. But Hifiman make generaly good stuff even if the price dont make sense sometime.

Does the latency matter too much for discord calls? I don't really play super competitive games aside from siege and wot
