The Best Keyboard Razer Has Offered In a Long Time.
By Shelwyn Estrada
The Good:
+Tactile Feel
+Green Backlit keys
+Incredible Responsiveness

The Bad:
-F1 key starts above the numbers 2 and 3
-FN Key on the right, volume keys on the left, you have to use both hands to change volume with keyboard.
-Loud bottom out noise

If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer just comment.

If you've ever been on comms and heard someone's mechanical keyboard try to click and clack it's way into the conversation you'll know why I bought it. I expected it to be totally silent but it does make a sound if pressed down all the way. The sound getts louder the harder you press down so I'll call it a quiet keyboard. The headphone and microphone jack are a neat idea, the usb is also ok. I can't say I'll be using these features for now but I can see how it would be useful.
The keyboard doesn't light up unless both usbs are plugged in.
Key quality is perfect, I see a few reviews complaining but mine is fine.
Make sure you check out fn key on the right, not left side.
Look at where F1 key is in relation to 1 2 3 ~

New (Orange) switches are much smoother & quieter! (Blackwidow Tournament Stealth 2014 edition)
By Amazonian
I've owned several different mechanical switch keyboards and have been experimenting with the various different switch types (Red, Green, Blue, etc.), and had settled on Brown (Blackwidow Tournament Stealth 2013 edition) with Blue O-Rings added as the best I was going to get (includes Razer Synapse macro engine, couldn't find any other mechanical kb's with built in macro engines). I was really pleased to see Razer adding a new Orange switch in their 2014 lineup (basically same as brown but better). The new Orange switches are immediately noticeably smooth, quieter, yet still provide a tactile bump. I like the direction Razer is going ... I hope they can continue to shorten the key strokes a bit (avoiding the need to add O-Rings perhaps) for those preferring that.

I only wish Razer would create a "Short" (more ergonomic) version (BlackWidow Tournament Stealth) form factor that has full backlighting like the more full sized keyboard models ..... since the BlackWidow Tournament Stealth and its sisters have only a few backlit keys, I instead installed LED strip lighting under my desk to light my keyboard ... pretty awesome for now but hopefully they will add more backlighting options in future.

bad batch of key switches/low quality control with new keys
By Crew Dapper
I just un-boxed my black widow 2014 edition keyboard and instantly ran into some problems. Not all the keys feel the same. The new razer key switches apparently aren't all they are cracked up to be. A lot of the keys don't sound like the rest. Some of them are tactile others are dead. For example, my "i" key feels like a cherry mx red, my "7" key feels and sounds like a cherry mx brown key, and others sound like the cherry mx blue they are supposed to be replacing which is what I wanted. I didn't know I ordered the pick and mix key switch keyboard.

Great for the regular music lover (maybe not audiophiles).
By jason
Just received product today as replacement for SL300WB from AV House. So far it's everything I expected. I've been testing a variety of genres including hip-hop, R&B, reggae, classical, hard/alternative rock, metal, dubstep, trap, electrohouse... I have to say they give some very solid audio playback. The bass is amazing. Not as overpowering as Beats but enough to bring a smile to your face. The mids/highs are clear but not perfect. The noise-cancelling is about an 8/10 but the sound leakage is terrible. Anything above 50% volume people around you can hear when in a quiet room. Sound quality aside, the build for these headphones feel secure and are very comfortable. Keep in mind they are very big and noticeable when walking outside. But all-in-all very satisfied.

Was expecting a lot more!
By Kevin
I bought these around Christmas and it seems they are exactly the same as the SL300s but without the carrying case. Upon putting in the batteries and turning the noise cancellation switch on, the exterior sounds were muted quite well. I also thought they fit very comfortably so things were looking good for these headphones. My biggest gripe was when I turned the volume up to about 70%, the noise leakage was unacceptable. Everyone could hear VERY clearly what music I was listening to and that is no good when I am traveling on a plane, in a car with others etc. I thought they may have been a defective pair so I paid to ship them back to SOUL who's customer support was excellent I might add, but no dice. They said that the leakage was at acceptable levels. Now I am left with a pair of cans I can't return because they are past the return policy. I ordered a pair of Noontec Hammos instead and they don't leak at all. Overall very comfortable and made well, I wanted to like the SOULS but the leakage was beyond something I could deal with.

Also ordered the SL300Wb
By Jhug
Like another user here, i also orderd the sl300wb's originally but was told they were out of stock and sent these as a replacement. on a basic EQ these sound very hollow but after running these through various 3rd party EQ apps ( Poweramp for Android, EQ10 for iOS) thses have a lot of range in both hi's and bass ability. These are marketed for hiphop but sound much better when used for highly produced presentations like live performance or classical music and industrial / techno. hip hop has a very basic amount of tracks so it doesn't quite push enough for these to make use of.

I have tested these against Beats Studio's Bose OE 2's, Monster Npulse and Shure studio's and they handle high's much better than the Beats but aren't as crisp as the Bose and have the same range but sound more solid than the Monsters. if you can get these at the right price i would recomend them but at full price I would continue looking.
