LETS GO!! To the IEM! When a IEM IEMS and a IEM is IEMing… That’s a moray!
Dude your comments always make my day 😂😂
@@TheTechneWhy all the tats all of a sudden? A year ago you didn’t have any?
@@Criticalmazeactually I always had a fair amount. Non ever showed, they were on my back, chest and upper arms.
Just getting more now.
So cool to see the Moray name again - it used to be the name of Razer's in-ear gaming headset :D
Thank you so much for this review I’m definitely going to get these now thanks to your review
I’ve never considered IEM’s but I’m definitely convinced now. Thanks bro!
Thank you for the great review ! Can you do one for the new HyperX Cloud Earbuds 2 comparing to the old one?
I see the peak of comedy here, the story of someone trying to sell snake oil.. 🐍
i love how Razer's twitter pop up on my phone about this iem's and then... The Techne new video notification comes in
Hi @TheTechne! Love your videos so much!
Currently I'm planning to replace my old headset HyperX Cloud Core (Don't feel the comfortable, after long work or gaming sessions I tend to suffer from headaches).
I'm debating between the G335, G435, HyperX Cloud Stinger Core 2 and Arctis Nova1.
I just want them to be stinkin cozy 1st rule lol... good sound and not a terrible mic.
I saw your reviews on them, except the HyperX one, which seems you haven't reviewed the Core 2 ones.
Anyway, which one do you recommend? Thanks a lot!
I love IEMs. I've been using the Moondrop Aria after my MEE M6 Pro went out and I can't go back to headsets. IEMs have the potential to sound so much better, have solid sound stage, fantastic comfort and no headband pressure whatsoever. The only competing sound device I found to IEMs has been a good set of Bookshelf speakers/monitors. I really like that Razer is dabbling into the IEM market with this, but I have no idea how they stack up against my current Moondrop Aria IEMs or if I want to spend the money. I've also found IEMs to be great for everything, not just shooters. I like them with music, movies, TV Anime and all sorts of games.
Sell your arias for truth ear holas because they are almost identicaly tuned and 16 bucks
Stay with your Aria's. These Razer are trash.
@@davidsmith9267 Not really a great advice. The moondrop aria still beats truthear Hola in terms of sound and build quality (Personal opinion since I have both and my Aria does not have the paint chipping issue). I would get the Hola if that's my budget and I need to buy a new IEM. But if u have the OG Aria then just keep it. Its still an amazing IEM.
@@awesomeyakuza211 had mine for a year and no chipping, take care of your stuff. And the differences are so minimal you would be better off using that money to get something better.
Oh dang Razer getting into IEMs, might have to pick these up to review in my channel. Getting lots of questions about them.
Now we need a video to compare different IEM headphones out there. Loved the design of Razer’s where the cable is detachable and if damaged hopefully replacement can be purchased easily, even replacement cables of a different color
The mmcx he mentioned is the type of cable these use, all mmcx IEM cables should fit these and theire the most common type of connector nowadays. Btw the most prevalent opinion seems to be that the cable of the razer moray seems cheap. If you are looking to buy them and think that you may decide to get other EIM’s then u should be ready to get a cable replacement
Theyre terrible compared to their competition. Even 50 dollar iems like the truther ear zero are better. At this price get a hexa, olina se, cvj mei, or simgot ea500
They are very comfortable according to some reviewers out there. That's only the good side. If you are looking for sound quality, better pick something else
Detachable is quite a norm in IEMs, heck even 20 dollar IEMs do come with detachable cable. As for cable, There are abundant cable options out there you can choose from
@bfevildoll basically any chifi 15 bucks and up is better. Idk why people would buy into this
What I'm more interested in anything audio focused towards gaming, is the sound stage, or how good surround sound would be on them.
I have Moondrop Aria IEMs ($80) and I've had MEE M6 Pro ($50) and I think their sound stages have been great. When the audio works in Apex Legends I could hear other players locations and sounds better than any headset I've tried. Though like Techne said the quality can vary a lot depending on the IEM.
Can't say much for enabling virtual surround as I usually don't worry about that feature as regular stereo had always been enough for me. Though now I'm curious lol. Just make sure you keep your receipts if you start trying them all out. My experience with IEMs has been great.
i use the moon drop katos. tad bit more then these razers but i can promise you the katos will be much better.
I may consider these, depending on whether or not I stick with contacts or go to glasses. Headsets and glasses aren’t always comfortable together.
IEMs as cheap as 20$ can be made of metal, moondrop chu for example. so really there's no excuse for "eh" build quality.
true
I definitely wanna see more IEMs from big companies like Razer appear more, I'm starting to dislike how most gaming headsets these days puts too much pressure to my head so these are a welcome to see! 🙌
Definitely a trend I'm appreciating from Razer right now. I've been using Moondrop Aria for a while now and I love how much better IEMs have been for my gaming without the headset pressure.
Why from big companies though? Being big doesn’t means you have better products than a specialized company that only makes products for a small community in fact it’s the opposite
@@stiegelzeine2186 that is true. I just like to see it get bigger. Though Crinacle said they're bad in one of his shorts though so I'm not excited anymore lol
SQ is still a better IEM around $20 and builds 11/12 like KZ ZS4.
I think, Razer's IEM was a failure.
This is the only video I could find on this product. I got really excited when I heard a big gaming company like Razer making their first IEM. I’m a huge fan of IEM’s for Gaming and tried a bunch of different pairs. Can’t wait to give these a go, your review has officially convinced me to try them.
You can get better for $20
@@Solveq Yes and no lol. There’s a lot of things to consider when shopping for IEM’s
Razer generally doesn't make good audio products so I'd be skeptical of their IEMs. It may be better to go with another brand.
@@YohnzyRR This is also true. I’ve owned so many Razer headsets and usually have been disappointed time after time. Hopefully this is the one lol
@YhonathonPlayzz true my razer kraken always has audio popping sound issues. It was good quality af first but didn't last long.
For me, I'm a headset guy. I loved my astro a50s gen 1 from 2015. I still have my green razer kraken 3.5, razer kraken chroma v2 usb, razer kraken silver pro v2 3.5, razer nari ultimate 7.1 wireless, all amazing. Would it be worth me getting the moray? I like my stuff so loud where my headset is on the table and people think the monitor is pretty loud. One thing that concerns me, all my headsets have one cord, to the left. I don't ever feel it. These have two right down the neck, I'm sure I'd get used to it
Great review but feel expensive. I use the Salnotes Zero with the Kimura mic and love it. Still much cheaper than the Razer ones and have a good mic. Win Win IMO.
The Salnotes Zero is very above average for gaming. They were my first IEM's and they definitely could cost more for what delivers.
with $130 they are going into a pool with a lot of sharks. Imma hope Crinacle review this one and compare it to something in the price range that it competes with, that would be fun to watch.
@@avendji exactly, the letshuoer s12 pro is one of them, and I really doubt these could beat the s12.
@@avendji his opinion would be interesting.
@@eluv2401 the man actually tweet about it and post the measurement already. It looks kinda bad. C- according to his taste.
You can get cheaper iems with better build than this one that sound really good.
I bet Salnotes Zero and Tin T2 or Simgot EA 500 are better value than this one.
thanks for the review! would have by any chance the diameter of the nozzle pls? as I can't wear anything too large
The real cool IEM, nice review but I can not do without bass.
hearing that bass changes if you switch between the ear Tips. 👍🏻😎
It’s interesting to watch this one after watching crinacles review, where he essentially called them overpriced garbage, then listed several iems that offer equal sound for around $20.
Not a knock towards anyone, just interesting to see the completely different conclusions. Of course, he also doesn’t have affiliate links in his review, so there is that. 🤷♂️
awesome vid mate but one thing befor i buy then we you talk with them or just listen
Great review as always but I'll stick to my 7hz Salnotes Zero. There are some cheaper options than this Razer IEMs.
Tried them for a few days but I am returning them. Comfort wise they aren't bad but whew, that sound is rough. Comparing them from the cheaper Moondrop Aria Snow IEMs I've been using, I was expecting a leap up, but was ultimately disappointed unfortunately while playing FPS (mostly CSGO) and listening to music/videos. I like to see companies taking a shot at making gaming IEMs though. Hopefully we get more options as time goes on.
Curious what you didn’t like about the sound? I play mostly destiny and cod, plugged into an ifi zen, and man I enjoy the sound a bit, just wish there was a pinch more bass, immersive sound
@@TheTechne I think the issue might be that you dont have an ear for good Headphones/IEMs.. Unfortunately these are bad for imaging and soundstage when it comes to gaming and even worse for music and entertainment.. Razer really needs to spend more time learning about a market they want to jump into instead of just peddling landfill material. Arias are A LOT cheaper and sound so much better..
@@StovnOGRazer be making anything these days
@@StovnOGsame goes for the hexa, t3 plus, er2xr, etc…
@@TheTechne they felt a bit echo-ey and distorted distance and direction for me. Music wasn't bad through them, but for gaming they made things harder unfortunately. I had them plugged into a soundblaster G6, which I still use for the Aria Snows
Please review the Razer Barracuda the normal one, not Barracuda X or Pro. I'm curious to see how it performs.
Hands down best gaming peripheral reviewer !
Usually when companies slap gaming on anything, especially IEM’s and Headsets, that just usually means a average to below average product with a much higher then average price tag.
Packaging with waifu picture sells
I think it also goes the other way as well. When a company slaps gaming on a product, people just jump on the trend of “gaming products suck”, shame honestly
@@TheTechne I’m the type who research, compare, and wait on more positive reviews to surface from more reviewers like you as well as the every day consumer before making my purchasing decision.
Watching for the first time now. Hoping we can attach a mic to it? 🤔
It looks nice I want to try it
The shape of this IEM is "Pre-customed shape" foam factor. Its shape is NOT for everyone, but someone. I have several IEM in my collection even this kind of shape, Its fin can cause you fatique and hurt your ear. So if any interested to get this, go to the store and ask them if they have a demo to try. Personal Comfort is First Priority, always, or you cannot use it long than your like it to. Universal shape IEM like you see in this video like Logitech, HyperX (called "bullet" shape) and Truthear Zero are the IEM basic shape of all, you may want to try that first then this "pre-customed shape" IEM
I wont say anything about sounding, because i dont own it. But to give some advice here that IEM rabbit hole is huge and you can easily waste lot of money on it, just because it may "uncomfortable" to your ears. Sounding also can let down your expectation as well.
If you want to try a bassy IEM that is actually good for gaming and cheap at 20$, try the QKZ x HBB. Not as good for competitive shooters like the Truthear Crinacle Zero, but still extremely good in the sub-100$ range.
I personally use a few quality headsets such as: Penrose, X58 Jubilee, Focal Clear, Corsair HS70SE and love them💪🥰👍🤤. However, I can only use them for about 3hrs max before head tension from the band gives me headaches / migraines 😱😢. This is where for long gaming sessions I switch to my IEMs: Tin T2, ZS10, and a few others which give no headaches etc and allow me to game ALL day happily 😇🥳.
Been rocking the Sennheiser IE300 IEMs since Optimum Tech's recommendation of them. Really starting to love the weightless feel of IEMs for Gaming and their soundstage is almost spot on for it. Really hoping these are comparable, I'd love to own a Razer pair, I love keeping my peripherals all on the same software but I'm always let down by razer audio (aside from the BlackShark)
I purchased one of these because optimum tech reviewed them as well and one of the ears went dead on me in a month. Not sure why but luckily I was still able to get my money back. Kinda scared to purchase those pair again lol
Ayy got them too... Yeah now im on a pair of variations.... Holy thats a difference
Crinacle has already warned they have the sound profile of garbage bin headphones. Typical razer, take 11$ IEM driver and tuning and slap a premium price. They are a brand for idiots, all marketing, no R&D.
@@jebusnazareth1869 Sadly this is true. Very much marketed to the extremely casual gamer
That's disappointing, was finally hoping to get a singular branded set-up. Why they always gotta let us down on Audio 😭
would it be a better alternative to the kiwis ?
Would you prefer this over the Truthear Zero?
I wonder if pairing this with the razer usb soundcard that came with the Blackshark V2 will make any noticable difference on audio quality?
It should since it is a sound card, I'd think you should also be able to configure the EQ and such.
Bro ripped the damn iem to pieces lmao I’ve never seen that. 😂
who is this guy and what did he do with my techne, i swear last time i saw him he didnt look like this lol. im lowkey liking it tho. love the review def gonna pick these up and give them a try!
😂
KZ D-FI is about $30 and far superior to the Razer in every way.
Can I plug these into my soundblaster g6 amp?? Or whats the best way to plug these into my pc?
Did you plug and play these IEM? Or did you use synapse? Saw another review saying sound wasn’t good
No synaps. Either directly to controller, or ifi zen.
@@TheTechne hi, wich ifi zen do you have?
oh damn they revived the IEM Moray
Anybody got a frequency response graph and the specs for the drivers?
Crinacle
But can I listen to music and play at the same time?
Was actually looking for IEMS because I don't want to mess up my hair 😭
Do they have a mic?
Just got the email for these. These look amazing
When are these releasing?
hi @The Techne can u make a video about darmoshark m3 thx
Where is the mic? How’s the mic quality ??
No mic test?
Most comfortable iem is the sennheiser ie200-300-600 and 900 series! better try those xD
Nice review. You overstate the innovation of the shape. It's not new or special at all. It's nice, though. 🙂
Hi techne, I made the mistake of buying the new Razer Muray without seeing the reviews first and I have some questions for you, long ago I bought the hifiman Sundara, the problem leaks audio on my Shure mv7 microphone, no matter how hard I try everything always leaks audio in the microphone, I'm thinking of buying the Dt 990 pro x, but I'm afraid that being open back headphones will cause me the same problem, what do you think about it? By the way, I have the go xlr mini, the sundara are open back planar magnetic and I feel that the go xlr mini does not give me enough power, could I connect a direct amplifier to go xlr and be able to use the functions but with the boost of a better amplifier? I like the sound of the sundaras but my friends complain about the audio leak in the microphone and it still needs more volume. I don't want to spend more money but I want some headphones to listen to the game well, the steps and music. postscript I will sell the razer garbage xD I await your response thank you very much and continue with your good content 💪🏼🔥
What didn’t u like about the morays?
And as for open backs, pending how loud u play yes the mic will pickup some here and there, better mics will block out more. But yea the mic might catch a clip here and there. Or u can use push to talk. Also the newer beyerdynamic closed are solid
@@TheTechne the RAZER MORAY arrived and it can only be heard on the left side XD
I use these for live performance.
Will you use IEMs or still a gaming headset for FPS gaming?
No, I have made a video about this topic before. I prefer a good headset or headphones
Did you know that the Razer Moray is 14 years old??? There's actually an old youtube video for it. Crazy
Hard to compete in the Market right now , if the Price be to high it will be almost trash for all People that being a bit into Iem's. You get crazy good Iem's for almost any Price.
I love how they're conveniently priced at a head set
Salnotes Zero if you want a trully good tuning for music and gaming under 20$
I can understand a gaming headset since its very convenient but IEMs? Might as well get something from Moondrop , Truthear, KZ, etc. u know actual good ones.
US$129.99 for this ? hell no , for this price range you can get a lot of IEM´s that will be 10x better , they are really comfortable but thats about it ,
remember whenever you buy razer product specially audio products its always gonna be overpriced and bad ,
Moondrop aria $80 , KZ-zs10 pro 65$ , TinHifi C2 $30 , they are all way better
First technically review I thought was fair and not laced with bias.
Honestly I've never heard of IEM's until this video. What does it even stand for? Do they not have a microphone? I was expecting a microphone test as well. 😶
In ear monitor, a fancier name for earpiece.
There are many brands that produce IEM like Empire Ear, Vision ear, 64Audio, Shures, Kz, Tin Hifi, Moondrop, etc
Does this have a microphone?
I currently drive Kraken V2 pros. I love em and think they sound great but, they are starting to age. I'd like to get something lighter like the IEMs. would setting them up through Synapse make the IEM sound better or would they still be highends. I mostly play 7 days or Ark with some FPS thrown in.
It has any mic on it?
I can tell from the shape that my ears will not be enjoying that. Owned a pair of KZ IEMs before with a similar shape and I couldn't stand how it was digging so bad into my ears. I prefer my Moondrop SSPs due to how well they fit.
I love IEMs, but comfort is a lot more difficult to generalize for these compared to over ears.
First!!
Are these available in canada alr?
Moro no Brasil 🇧🇷 aqui será lançado futuramente mas com um preço muito alto não sei se vale a pena
Utws5 + Any iem (I use simgot ea500) + USB aptx adaptive transmitter = Best comfort wireless setup Ive ever tried.
Might buy these if the graphs and technicalities are good.
Kiwi Ears Quintet (4 diff driver) is on my top list.
Nice review as always. Very nice to see Razer diving into IEMs. A very nice year for IEMs indeed.
But for those who are new to IEM you can also wait for the reviews of IEM focused channel to give you a more in-depth comparison of the Razer Moray in the IEM market especially this year (2023) which is the craziest year for IEMs since it's been flooded with products that are beast for their price to performance ratio.
Warning: This hobby is a rabbit hole. ;)
Do you have any suggestions for IEMs in the $100-150? I thought I was gonna do the Razer ones but I need bass in my headphones.
@@daltonhays5156 truthear hexas are the best budget iem at 80 dollars
@@daltonhays5156 MoonDrop Aria or starfield !!
@@daltonhays5156 get the Tangzu Zetian Wu
Some good IEMs recommended here. But if you're looking for bass, an IEM with a Planar Driver is probably best. Letshuoer S12 Pro and Tangzu Ze Tian Wu are good options that come to mind at $150 or less. There's also the KZ - PR1 HiFi which is an open back planar IEM priced at around $70
hey techne my penrose crunch and die in 30mins. whats your top choice/main headset on the market right now?
Man there are so many good ones. BlackShark V2 Pro, Maxwell, Turtle Beach Stealth Pro is one of my current favs
Please review g fits
Comfort is very subjective
gamer bump
just get kz zs4, its 20$ and has the same shaped shell as the moray
Gamer to Gamer, consumer to consumer...no thanks. We can get better for $20
I still prefer openback headphone I have tinnitus can't play long with iem make my tinnitus worse
Is this available in the Philippines?
yes soon
Cualquier IEM del mercado supera a este modelo de Razer por mucho, lamentable que Razer intente vendernos esto
According to your review, Razer Moray has a bright neutral signature, which is great for FPS games and accoustic music. In other words, it is probably an awesome IEM for gamming and music. I am very happy that Razer finally explored the expertise of THX to launch this kind of product that is not only for gamers.
you can get the same tuning or better and better build quality for less. These iems just have that "gaming" brand attached to it. and that THX certified is just some marketing bullshit.
Lol thx is bulshit marketing like atmos, Mqa and virtual 7.1 surround sound on devices with two drivers
@@NyteStalker89 THX is not exactly a "marketing", but a company that develop audio products. Your words is just like saying that AKG in Samsung earphones is marketing bullshit too.
@@ryanpan8302 as I said to our friend above, THX is a company that develop audio products. I don't think that this is just a "certificate", but a tuning implemented by them.
Crinacle no like. Bright with little bass does not work for me for music, at all. Fatiguing.
ok 130$ for this iem is expensive ,
i been using black shark V2 for over 2 year and its amazing i buy them 92$ so 130$ for iem when there is option for v2 in lower money this iem dont worth it in my opinion
bro for the price you pay on razers you better off buying any other iems, and if you are saying the morays are crispier than the crinacle ones bro you biased to no end
Anyone saying $130 is too much for iems… is poor and has zero.. and I mean zero idea about how sound, detail, clarity etc can scale with price.. but $130/expensive? Na fam. That’s not even mid range in price or sound. For $20 less, kiwi ears quartet absolutely hits above its weight.. more expensive iems like sennheiser ie600, moondrop blessing 2 dusk, blessing 3, variations, kiwi ears orchestra lite(just to name a few) all blow these $130 budget tier, first try at an Iem out of the water.. either starting for less or ending up around 5x the cost but that’s the audio world in a nutshell
i feel like razer is just killing it in the audio department this year. ill have to give these a go.
don't do it
130$? ight. im out. Moondrop Aria cost less and will definitely sound better.
Feels too expensive for what u get at that price range.
They look good, but they're Razer. My razer products have broken themselves just sitting the draw. So a pass from me, but hope to see other big brands dip their toes into the IEM market.
I've had razer hammerheads for like 6 years now and still kicking.
looks like ikko oh10
This is for gaming... There is absolutely no reason to spend this much on the audio in your noise hole for GAMING. Sal notes Zero. Wan'er. Pick one. That's what a gamer "needs". Everything else is unnecessary and a waste of money and value. Especially if they're only using them for gaming. Absolutely no need for top tier audio with gaming. Just a clean sound signature without any wonk. That's it.
I like IEMs becaude they are afordable in first place. If I wanted to pay 150$ and more, I wound choose openback overear headphones from sennheiser or another audio-focused brand. Right now I'm using kz audio IEM for 30$ and sometimes wonder if buyings something more expensive could make me better player. I don't think so, so upgrading doesn't make sense for me. Nevertheless it's good to see big brands fullfiling this niche. It's fresh, it's interesting and it's better for the customers. Razer in last few months is doing great - wireless headset, IEMs, free update for analog keyboards, mouses which took the markter over. If I wanted to be a fanboy of one company, it would be Razer for now.
Nah ill probably pass on these.. way TOO EXPENSIVE! There are a lot of more bang for the buck IEMS on the market today with way cheaper.. 😅
I am an audio engineer and a music producer, wanted to make a quick correction here. IEM's are not popular because of their sound. They do not sound better than headphones. The reason they are popular is because compared to headphones they eliminate weight & fatigue on your head, they keep your hair looking fresh (and prevent that "gamer dent" on your head), and they also prevent heat/sweat buildup. Yes, they also have no bleed, but that is just an added bonus - closed back headphones provide a similar benefit but they still have all the drawbacks I mentioned.
I disagree. IEMs provide a different sound than headphones. Whether it is better ks subjective, but having tried (and own) very expensive and very expensive headphones, the IEMs CAN sound better. Especially in the same price category.
Lol why would you say they don't sound better than headphones. That makes no sense. Tons of people swear by them as they bypass the pinna causing less variability among users
$130 Hell NO!
Dont waste your time with these
Yeah these iems are not worth the money. Funny enough the $50 dollar iems he compares them to are better sounding for music and gaming than the razer moray. For razer to call these a "gaming" iem and not include a boom mic is crazy. I will give the moray credit they are comfortable, but other iems use the same shell design so. So razer does not get a pass for this overpriced garbage.
