Razer’s wired in-ear monitors (IEMs) are designed for streaming and gaming.
All-Day Comfort
Razer dubs the Moray an “ergonomic in-ear monitor for all-day streaming”.
And really, there’s no denying these IEMs are incredibly comfortable.
Many IEMs tend to be wired to achieve higher fidelity, and the Razer Moray are no different.
In fact, they are probably the closest you’ll get to custom-molded earbuds without the extra expense.
The Razer Moray are a perfect travel companion, too, thanks to the included travel bag and carabiner.
Razer’s wired in-ear monitors (IEMs) are designed for streaming and gaming. Featuring dual hybrid drivers and THX certification, you would be forgiven for expecting more from these earbuds than Razer is offering.
Muddy Audio Results
The problems arise when it comes to audio quality, though.
The Razer Moray IEMs have a somewhat muddy sound stage.
Audiophiles certainly wouldn’t be seeking these out to offer rich, balanced audio.

The high frequencies almost seem forgotten about, causing a noticeable drop in treble.
The passive soundstage is limited as well, due to the closed-back design.
This design confines the sound within your head rather than creating a more expansive soundscape.

For users who enjoy customizable audio, I’m afraid you’ll also be disappointed.
The lack of customization around sound profiles is extremely restrictive.
What Are They Good For?

So many other options are availableeven from Razer, like the Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed True Wireless earbuds.
And it’s such a shame considering most of the other peripherals Razer offers are so damn good.
They are lightweight, well-crafted, and look incredibly stylish.
