How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a proven wireless PC/console headset with a retractable boom mic, huge 50 mm drivers and full RGB customization, choose Razer ManO'War; if you need a lightweight 295 g white headset with virtual 7.1 surround driven by a dedicated CM6572 chip and USB-C connectivity, choose Savage Impact TR50.
• Razer ManO'War — biggest strength: lag-free 2.4 GHz wireless with a 12+2 meter range, 50 mm drivers and a unidirectional retractable boom mic, all backed by Razer's Chroma lighting system.
• Razer ManO'War — biggest trade-off: it's the heavier of the two at 350 g, it charges over USB rather than USB-C, and the spec sheet lists no active noise control.
• Savage Impact TR50 — biggest strength: at just 295 g it's built for long sessions, and the CM6572 chip powers virtual 7.1 surround to help you place direction and distance in a fight.
• Savage Impact TR50 — biggest trade-off: fewer frills than the Razer — no RGB system, no stated wireless range figure, and it leans on sound isolation rather than any active noise feature.
• Who the Razer is for: PC, PS4 and Xbox One players who want broad console compatibility, a mic that hides away when not in use, and lighting they can tweak.
• Who the TR50 is for: PC players who want a lighter headset, USB-C convenience, and surround processing that helps them read audio cues — and who prefer a clean white look.
The ManO'War is, first and foremost, a wireless headset built around one idea: cut the cable without cutting the signal. Razer pairs a 2.4 GHz USB adapter with a stated 12+2 meter range, which is the kind of headroom that lets you stay connected while you grab a drink, stretch, or pace around the room mid-match. That wireless link is the headline feature, and it's the reason this headset exists.
The audio side is equally straightforward. Two 50 mm dynamic drivers cover a 35Hz–20KHz frequency range with 32 ohm impedance and 112 dB sensitivity — numbers that describe a headset designed to run loud and clear off a USB connection rather than needing a dedicated amp. The unidirectional digital boom mic is retractable, so you can pull it out for comms and tuck it away when you're just listening, and Razer tunes it for natural voice reproduction rather than a thin, robotic sound.
Who should buy it: players on PC or console who value wireless freedom, a hideaway mic, and lighting they can personalize. Who should skip it: anyone who prioritizes the lightest possible build — at 350 g it's noticeably heftier than the TR50 — or who wants USB-C instead of a USB connection.
Savage Impact TR50: Who It's For
The TR50 takes a different angle: it's a white, 295 g over-ear headset that bets on being light and staying out of your way. If you've ever finished a five-hour session with a hot spot on the top of your head, that weight figure is the one to pay attention to. Savage Impact designed this one around long sessions — the over-ear cups isolate game audio, which helps you stay locked in without cranking the volume.
The audio story here is about spatial awareness. Custom 50 mm radar diaphragm drivers are tuned to pull footsteps, reloads and directional cues out of the clutter, and a dedicated CM6572 chip drives virtual 7.1 surround so you can map where sounds are coming from. That's a chip-level approach to surround rather than a software trick, and for competitive shooters it's the feature that matters most — hearing a reload to your left before you see the player is the whole game.
Connectivity is modern: USB-C, wireless, with the box including an adapter, cable, detachable boom mic and USB receiver. The detachable mic is a nice touch if you'd rather run the headset as pure headphones, and the boom mic is tuned for clear voice pickup so your callouts land. There's a one-year warranty as well, which is worth noting for a headset in this class.
Who should buy it: PC players who want a light headset for marathon sessions, USB-C convenience, and surround processing that helps them read a fight. Who should skip it: anyone who wants RGB lighting, a retractable mic, or who plays primarily on a console — the TR50's spec sheet points at a PC-first, USB-C setup.
• Best for wireless range flexibility → Razer ManO'War. Its 2.4 GHz adapter is rated for a 12+2 meter range, giving you room to move without dropping audio.
• Best for long-session comfort → Savage Impact TR50. At 295 g versus 350 g, it's the lighter headset on your head by a real margin.
• Best for competitive audio cues → Savage Impact TR50. The CM6572 chip and virtual 7.1 surround are purpose-built for placing direction and distance.
• Best for mic flexibility → Razer ManO'War. The unidirectional boom mic retracts into the headset, so it disappears when you don't need it.
• Best for personalization → Razer ManO'War. Chroma's 16.8 million color options plus on-headset quick action controls for volume and mute.
• Best for multi-platform use → Razer ManO'War. It's stated to work with PC, PS4 and Xbox One, while the TR50 reads as a PC/USB-C design.
• Best for modern port convenience → Savage Impact TR50. USB-C connectivity and a detachable boom mic give it a cleaner, more current feel.
• Best for a white, minimalist setup → Savage Impact TR50. It's the only one of the two offered in white with a matching over-ear, circle-cup design.
If I had to pick one, I'd take the Savage Impact TR50. In my opinion, the combination of 295 g weight, USB-C connectivity, a detachable boom mic and a dedicated CM6572 chip driving virtual 7.1 surround is the more useful package for how most people actually play — long PC sessions where comfort and directional audio decide whether you're still sharp in hour four. The Razer ManO'War is the better choice if you want Chroma lighting, a retractable mic and console compatibility, and it's a genuinely strong wireless headset for that crowd. But for pure everyday PC gaming, I'd go TR50.
