Developer’s Description

Get the best virtual 7.1 surround sound experience with any headphones.

Razer Surround gives gamers the best virtual 7.1 channel surround sound experience with any stereo headphones. Current generation virtual surround technologies are often inaccurate given that every individual has a unique response to simulated sound stages - as such, virtual surround sound is often regarded as inferior to discrete surround sound set ups. Using state-of-the-art technology, the surround sound algorithms powering Razer Surround creates an unbelievably accurate surround sound environment and allows gamers to calibrate positional sound to match their own unique preferences. This level of calibration allows Razer Surround to provide an incredible level of precision in-game, allowing gamers to have the unfair advantage.

garbage for any serious gamer
PertetoesJanuary 5, 2016
Pros
-perfect 7:1 surround sound -easy usage -compatible with any sound card even on board one
Cons
-terrible sound delay 200-500ms
Summary
Everything you hear with surround on will have delay on it which pretty much ruin all FPS game. You can literally hear the gun sound 0.3 second after you press your left mouse button which make tap firing impossible. Lip syncing in movie/cutscene is completely screwed.
Good for Gaming
ReveHavanJune 29, 2014
Pros
It really does what it says. The 7.1 surround sound works like charm! I really love the bass booster provided by this software.
Cons
The only problem is when it comes to the audio output delay, which is about 300ms. Not good for recording music and such.
Summary
Overall, good. Not good for recording.
sucks, don't download unless u have no drivers
dsljfdshfa89432November 26, 2013
Pros
none, it just sucks
Cons
everything, all other HD controllers are better than this shit. it does everything u don't want to, to your sound.
Summary
don't download it, just download your HD audio controller drivers, much better - this shitty software doesn't do anything.
Too Intrusive, No Clean Uninstall
satzzNovember 24, 2013
Pros
Don't know, I didn't want to set up an account just to try it!
Cons
I didn't realize it was going to be so intrusive. I didn't realize it would also install Synapse, nor that it required a Login and Account to use. I uninstalled, but a search of the registry has traces of it everywhere. Should have monitored the install, but it's buried so deep... After the install I had no sound, but Win* fixed itself.
Summary
This may be fine if you really want it and use it, but I don't appreciate the big stain it left after an unintall.
Does what it says...

Pros
Software solution to hardware issue.
Cons
None that I can see.
Summary
It is free for now. Haters are gonna hate.

Very Good, not to replace real surround sound
Ares018August 13, 2013
Pros
Works as described, easy to use, easy to install, user friendly all around
Cons
Does not replace real surround sound headphones.
Summary
Pretty good overall
EliteEFiveAugust 12, 2013
Pros
Very clear and costumed just for you
Cons
Doesn't seem to have much of an effect with my Razer Charcarias, had a skype volume output error but was easy to fix.
Summary
FREE Razer sound augmentation for ANY/ALL headphones
_p_U_n_K_August 12, 2013
Pros
In-game sound mapping vastly improved. More ambient background noise/music. More startling sound from events outside field-of-view.
Cons
Rear-satellite channels could not map accurately... perhaps due to limitations of headphone drivers? (SONY MDR-Z700)
Summary
Free surround sound tool for headphones, with sound field presets and customization? Yes, please! Already using Synapse2.0? This is a no-brainer. Well done, Razer... but of course.
A fantastic piece of software
j0n4831August 11, 2013
Pros
-Custom tuned to Razer headphones. -Customizable audio regions (default was fine for me) -Works with any headphones whatsoever. -Bass boost, stereo widening, and equalization filters among other things. -Cloud sync of settings, just like your keyboard macros.
Cons
There were no negatives for me personally besides some games only supporting 5.1 surround sound, however this is not a flaw caused by this product. Some might find it annoying having to signup for synapse 2.0, but I already had an account already having a Blackwidow stealth tourney keyboard and its quite convenient having settings stored in the cloud.
Summary
I initially downloaded this because I have a pair of Razer Electras which I absolutely love, and the idea of getting surround sound with them intrigued me, in addition to already being a user of Synapse 2.0. It takes some getting used to, but listening for the locations of gunfire and such is quite helpful in game.
