Comfort

The wearing comfort of this headset is not all that good. The pressure that the ear cups exert on your ears is just horrible and way too high to be comfortable to wear even for one hour at the time. Couple that more than average pressure with the non-existing vents on the side and you have a pretty horrible headset comfort wise. My head is of a pretty normal size for a European or an American. The design chosen by Razer for the ear cups is not one of the wisest decisions. Instead of building the cup bigger so that they could fit around your ears and just press against one's skull (like with the Barracuda HP-1s) the ear cups on the Piranha rest upon your ears which is quite uncomfortable.

Durability

Certain aspects of the Razer Piranha’s design are a bit overly bulky, which of course is a good thing from a durability point of view. Considering the added details like LED lighting there is a lot that can fail over time. The thing I suspect that will break fist is the LED lighting, like with the old Barracuda it is not the LEDs that are breaking but the wiring to and from them in the ear cups. Of course Razer has an extended warranty program to deal with these sorts of things.
