    I mean they’re cheap but still…

    I bought these with pretty moderate expectations and was still thoroughly disappointed. My previous Razer headset lasted me for nearly 7 years and I’m typically pleased with their products. This headset is clearly sub par, I opted to get a cheaper headset this go around just to see if it fit my needs. The audio was scratchy and according to multiple people I spoke to the microphone was also VERY low quality. I’m not really a picky person and I don’t think I’ve ever even written a review before but the low quality on this headset warranted a poor review. I would go elsewhere or spend more money buying something better…

    MICROPHONE IS SUPRISINGLY GREAT!

    Ive been using these headphones for 2 months before writeing this review.The Razer Kraken X wired gaming headset is perfect for its price. The sound quality when using the virtual 7.1 surround sound is good for some games that utilize at least 5.1 surround sound. (Make sure you are using the correct audio channels.) The sound quality is great for gaming.The noise cancellation is definitely there. There is even notches in the ear cups for people that wear glasses. They are not visible, but you can feel around with your finger.Since these are using a 3.5 mm jack, they will work with PC, Android, Xbox one s controllers, and PS4 with sound and Microphone. It will even work for sound on the nintendo switch. A longer cord is included for PC that goes into two separate 3.5 mm ports (one for sound and one for mic) Honestly usb isn’t any better from my experiences with other headsets. The volume can be adjusted with a wheel on the headset.What blew me away was the microphone. Ive done some recordings and the quality was phenomenal for a budget gaming headset. It truely is a cardiod microphone that wont pick up background noises like key clicks anddistant voices. Ive even used it for online college classes and got complented for how clean I sounded on a zoom meeting. It can be muted with a button if needed.I also find the headset to be quite comfortable. It can be worn for long periods of time. They did not bother me at all. They are adjustable to move up and down but the ear cups do not swivel which gives the headset some extra durability. (A+) Eventhough its mostly plastic, they do not feel cheap at all.Overall, these are a must buy if you are looking for a wired gaming headset! Well done Razer!

    Overall Decent

    I have had these for a day and so far are alright, not the greatest, especially for $50. I have had better $25 headsets.PROS:-Very very very lightweight, probably the lightest headset I’ve ever owned!-Very comfortable and fits well-Flexibility is decent-Microphone quality is pretty good, not the greatest-free roam mic, comes right up to your mouth-memory foam padding on headband is very comfortable-Noise cancelling-cord is long and not elastic, which is great so it wont curl up and tangleCONS:-Sound quality could use a lot of improvement-Pitchy mids, no bass, highs are screamy-mids are very static and can hurt your ears-Plastic buildOVERALL:Razer has got the build down, the build of the headset is amazing. The thing that could use some work, is whats inside. Mic quality and sound quality can use a lot of work.Build: 10/10Mic: 7/10Sound: 3/10

    Great buy for good sound

    I bought these for my daughter. She is an avid gamer and uses them at least 6-7 hours a day when she isn’t in school. They are very light and she said they have much better sound and clarity than her previous headset. She also likes how they don’t look huge on her head. Her previous set looked so big on her head and these are comfortable and don’t look like they were made for a giant. The adjustable band has a good range of size and my husband says they are comfortable on his head (which is much bigger than our daughter’s.)They seem to be well-made and feel like they are made with nice quality. Even though they are light, they don’t feel or look cheap. My daughter also wanted me to add that the flexible mic is nice to have, she doesn’t worry about it breaking or cracking when she carries it in her backpack.I would definitely buy them again.

    7.1 surround activation code doesn’t work

    Today I was very excited when I received the package, I thought I could use 7.1 surround sound but when I try to use the activation code and it shown up ” License code has already been used.” At this moment I am very disappointed and what is the point I have to buy this product if the 7.1 surround sound can’t use it?

    Customer Service Unparalleled!

    Purchased for my son with his birthday and Christmas money. He LOVED these and it worked better than any he has had. You do need to adjust the PC settings but once complete they are a really nice headset. Not cheap but under $100. 2 1/2 months in they cracked on crown piece of headset. Contacted Amazon who put me in touch with Razer. I have to say this experience was hands down the BEST customer service experience I have EVER had! It fell under warranty and the rest was not only smooth but they communicated with me many times a week keeping me updated on progress. Ended up with a new headset! Very impressed!!! Wish more product customer service was similar. BUT, shout out to Amazon customer service as they too are really fast and really fair. Good experience and thank you!!!

    An honest review of the Razer Kraken X, one of the best for it’s price!

    (Don’t worry if this review looks too long, I included a TLTR (Too Long To Read) at the bottom to sum it all up without all the extra waffle and detail)..I am writing this review at 3 month of owning this headset hoping anyone who happens to read it will find it useful. I ordered this when my previous headset had broke (Which I later found out was planned and guaranteed by the company that made that model).This headset surprised me more than anything upon first opening it.Lets get started with the sheer amount of bass. Gunshots feel more like they are being fired from a gun. Music I listen to has much more backbone. It could be that my old headset just didn’t have much more bass than earbuds, but this headset is quite well for its bass. There are even settings to turn up the bass! Though, I honestly wish there were options software-wise to reduce bass, as sometimes its a bit much and your regular usage feels too loud or might make your ears hurt. Perhaps you could turn the bass in certain games down, but I wish it could be done with the headset.The sound quality I found (possibly because of the bass) to be absolutely gorgeous. Music I once found just the regular normal became tear-jerking and chill-inducing. Games couldn’t sound better.The noise cancellation is insane, and honestly a bit too much for me. This is situational though, but my family does have to yell a bit louder to call me for dinner. However, if what you want is noise cancellation, this headset is best for it! Its like you are entering a portal, but for your ears, every time you put these on! The outside world stops existing for a bit and your games come to life in a whole other level of immersion.Because of how locking-in this headset is, the complaint about your ears getting hot since there’s nowhere for the heat to escape these almost air-tight covers is often. But, that is why Razer has options for coolant variants at a steeper price, which honestly fits well.The headset I had previously had 3 customizable buttons on the side, as well as an auto-muting microphone (with a light to let you know when its muted) that disconnects when you raise it. This has neither. You have to click the microphone off here, which is fine.On the subject of microphone, it is incredible quality, honestly a bit too good for me. Rather than having a radius that picks up less noise as you go further, it appears to have a set radius where it picks up sound way too well before having a sort of ‘wall’ where it can barely pick up sound. This said radius is quite big, so even moving the mic far away from my face still picks me up. This is good for the obvious reasons, but a bit unhelpful when it picks up EVERY noise you make. Yes, you can lower the levels/sensitivity in microphone settings on your computer as well as in Softwares individually, and finding the right levels arent hard, but its a bit much to start.However, what really got me to write this review and why I had said pictures attached is this headsets major (Or potentially minor depending on how you use it) design flaw:The plastic ‘band’ that goes around your head isn’t reinforced very well, specifically the parts above where the cusion for your head and the ‘side plastic’ connect. This is not jointed and instead is just a round piece of plastic. I was used to taking my headset off by moving the ears away from me, widening the headset, since the other headset I had handled that just fine. This headset does not though. The parts I described on either side are sensitive and just after these 3 months, one of them broke and gave way. I had to reinforce it with vinyl tape and a thin scrap of metal to give it the right shape, but no matter what it was broken.I feel like this could be worked on, though until then as the customer, I suggest YOU make sure to take this headset off either by turning it backwards to take out from behind you, or to turn it forwards and remove it that way. As evident by how long mine lasted so far, separating the ears from your head has proven to be a breaking point for a design flaw.Nothing wrong with this headset, as all pieces of tech have their own issues, like bugs in a game, just make sure to take care of this well.TLTR:Sounds quality, noise cancellation, bass, microphone all over perform substantially. Your ears can get hot but its not that bead. The only real issue is physical strain of the overall structure. Just be sure to take this off without stretching it sideways and instead turning it backwards or forwards to avoid breaking the top and needing to either get a replacement or augment/modify it like I did (Which worked quite well to allow this to last longer)

    Ultralight, Ultra Cheap, Ultra Comfortable – a LOT of Performance for $50

    Your browser does not support HTML5 video.

     Pros: Lightweight, VERY Comfortable, most balanced sound we’ve heard from Razer yet. Easy to drive, 7.1 software included for PC use, decent quality mic.Cons: Attached cable and mic, all plastic build, still struggles with volume on PS4
