I've been looking at these items for the past few days. I saw these Razer BlackShark headphones while researching the Razer BlackWidow mechanical keyboard, and became instantly hooked. They are Battlefield 3 branded, but i love the orange on blue color theme. They just look awesome, and most of the reviews say they're good.

 

I know its overpriced, but meh.

 

I was going to order these with the Razer Black Widow Ultimate 2013, but that key board was still $130, and i didn't really like the greed backlight. I saw the BlackWidow Ultimate Battlefield 3 branded version a few days ago, but it was the same price as the Ultimate 2013, and its not as new. I think the Bf3 version is a mix between the original and maybe the 2013 version, i dont know.

 

 

I was going to order these both on NewEgg, which is the site i use for almost all my orders. Put a few $Thousand through them in the past few years.

 

I decided to check shipping charges on TigerDirect, To see if the keyboard would be cheaper buying from them. The shipping charges are cheaper there, heck that keyboard on TigerDirect has free shipping today only (it says). But then i saw the BlackWidow BF3 collectors edition on there for only $79 TODAY ONLY! Normally $130 on each site, (newegg, amazon, tigerdirect, etc).

 

So i went ahead and ordered the BlackShark headphones from Newegg with 2 day shipping (plus $2.99 rush processing, i know it doesnt matter, i've always had the same results using it as i did without, but blackfriday must be keeping them busy, so i decided to go ahead ), and the Bf3 BlackWidow Keyboard from Tigerdirect, with 2 day shipping.

 

They both already changed my card, and both are estimating the same day delivery. So we'll see which one is faster.

 

I really can't wait to get the headphones.

 

The only thing im scared about is as soon as i ordered the blacksharks, the newegg page for them marked them as out of stock, so maybe i got lucky and got the last pair.

 

Can't wait, but its also interested to see which site is going to be faster. I've never used TigerDirect due to Newegg always being great to me.

 

 

So what do you guys think about the shipping and arrival time? Wanna make bets? LOL, Do you think the tigerdirect ones will be held up weeks due to processing all the blackfriday stuff, or the newegg headphones will be cancelled due to being out of stock? Or both items will arrive by Wednesday?

I just order small things from newegg but get whole systems at microcenter... it's 2.5 hrs away and gives me an excuse to get out of the house and go on a road trip!!!

 

I bought my whole system there and I got it for 200 bucks less then I would have at newegg with better RAM and better CPU!!!

 

I got the last antec modular PSU that was under 100USD!!!

LOL i love how we post the same thing on two forums LOL

 

i actually originally posted this here, but i thought i should post on neowin too so i'll get some replies LOL

 

Man i cant wait to get these headphones!

LOL yeah...

hah i can't wait.

man im worried about newegg though. usually by this time my items already have tracking ifno and everything.

Still stuck on packaging though ~:>

 

i thought i'd get the headphones before the keyboard, but its looking like it may be the other way around.

more excited about them. Keyboard is just another keyboard, but mechanical.

 

But the headphones are like... Military helicopter pilot style GASP

You piolit now. Fly to the sky and just voooooom

i have no idea what neoegg or whatever you guys are talking about guess its some silly american junk!

it's adult stuff. stay to playing with your barbie toys and bubblegum.

 

This morning update, my tigerdirect package is at the UPS hub in TN, while Newegg order is still on packaging. I was going to cancel it, and tell them to go fuck themselves, but the cancel order button is gone

I finally got a UPS tracking code for my new egg order, it says next day air, so i should get it tomorrow still. If this is the case then they have totally redeemed themselves, and i love them.

 

but we'll see.

How the hell would i play with bubblegum?

pretend it's play-doh

why cuz he's from new zealand? That's intolerant of other ethnicities, and just plain out racist!

 

 

Anyways Both of these items arrived in my local city today, and should be delivered to my porch by 4pm LOL

 

hopefully here soon. usually my packages are here by 10 am, but we'll see. There have been times they didn't come til 6pm.

So it was a tie. Got both at the same exact time today. But i gotta give credit to Newegg for slow processing, but correcting it with free one day air shipping, which resolved the delay, have to love them for that.

 

As for the products, they are both awesome. The keyboard is solid and feels nice to type on. The black light keys are nice.

The headset feels nice, and blocks out alot of outside sound. They sound great, but not as good with music as my cheap $29 Sony headphones do. But maybe i just need to tweak them some, or just get used to them.

 

Over all super happy with the products, Razer did a great job with both. Also super happy with NewEgg and TigerDirect. NewEgg didn't really shock me though because i always knew they were great, and would some how fix this. Tigerdirect did shock me though because i didn't think they'd be so great, or as good as NewEgg, but they both pretty much tied with eachother due to ordering at the same time, and receiving both orders at the same time.

 

Happy happy.
