Razer Nari Ultimate - Overwatch Lúcio Edition Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2020-02-16

After fully charging the headset, we have fired up several games such as Star Wars: The Old Republic, Overwatch, Bioshock 2, Forza Horizon 4 and Bayonetta; even at default settings, the vibration is quite strong and activates on low frequencies in real time. Even when we have had discussions via Skype, depending on the voice frequency we have felt short vibrations but thanks to the Synapse controls, we could eliminate these by turning the haptic effects to a lower level. Thanks to the thick padding of the cups, the vibration effect remains pleasant even when it is turned all the way up; however, there are times when we would like to turn the haptic effect completely off and this is possible via the software interface.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

Last time we have looked at a Nari series headset from Razer was back in 2018, when we did check out the middle segment model. At that time, we were quite impressed by the comfort the product offered during long use sessions thanks to the fact the earcups can swivel to adapt any head/ear shape and the inclusion of cooling gel-infused cushions. The product could be used in both wired and wireless modes, while having included support for THX Spatial Audio as well.

 

The Overwatch Lucio Edition headset is based on the Nari Ultimate, which packs all the goodies from the mainstream model, but also introduces Razer HyperSense. HyperSense is an intelligent haptic technology developed by Lofelt that can convert sound signals into dynamic touch-sensory feedback in real time. Razer HyperSense allows the vibrations to flow accurately from left to right and with different intensities, depending on where the audio cues are coming from. An interesting fact to mention is that the Nari Ultimate does no need audio signal to come via WiFi in order to enjoy HyperSense; if we do connect an analog sound source such as a smartphone or console via the 3.5mm audio jack, HyperSense will be enabled as well.

 

The product is shipped in a medium-sized cardboard enclosure, with the Overwatch Lucio Brazilian DJ and freedom fighter character theme boxart. Here we will get to see the main product highlights, along with the list of compatible devices:

 

 

 

Some more details on the Lucio character can be found on the side of the packaging; we will be also informed regarding the full set components of this particular theme:

 

 

 

Nearby, Razer has listed the package contents, system requirements, technical specifications, but also the product code name and serial number:

 

 

 

A more in-depth explanation of the main headset interfaces can be found on the back; the manufacturer also notes here a total of 2 years of warranty for the product:

 

 

 

After lifting the top cover, we will get to see a similar packaging model as with the vanilla Nari, but this time the color scheme is much changed; the product is kept secure inside a black plastic mold, while the cardboard layer on the bottom comes with the “For Gamers. By Gamers.” saying:

 

 

 

Besides the headset, we will receive some hardware bundle and also some documentation:

 

 

 

The USB charging cable is fully braided; if the LED indicator does show that the battery level is low, we can surely use the headset during the charging process as well:

 

 

 

A Stereo cable is offered for connection to analog sources; this one is braided as well:

 

 

 

Besides the Get Started introductory leaflet, we will also receive a Quick Start Guide and a set of nice stickers:
