Razer Kraken Gaming Headset: Lightweight Aluminum Frame, Retractable Noise Isolating Microphone, For PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X & S, Mobile, 3.5 mm Audio Jack, Mercury White

I decided to get this Kraken headset after getting really tired of using a crappy old turtle beach from my previous Xbox for my PC/Hackintosh. They felt like they cracked the top of my skull open after 2-3hrs of use and my ears were sore. I also wanted a headset with a mic integrated for Zoom and for gaming, rather than using a headset AND the Blue Snowball at the same time, even though the acoustics are amazing on the Snowball.My thoughts on the Kraken: Is it worth the hype?I can confirm that this headset DOES live up to the hype and it’s not just a brand that ships out crappy equipment for high prices. I can’t say the same for some of their other headsets, which have terrible reviews. However, this headset is comfy and functional. Especially Amazon sells it for less than their MSRP, it’s a steal.Pros:-Their earmuff cooling technology actual feels legit…-The top of the headset doesn’t crack your skull-The mic is retractable, which I LOVE-The packaging gives a great first impression-Includes an extension cable with dedicated mic and audio jack, a nice touch for large desks like mine-Can wear easily for hours on endCons:-The lower volume range with the volume dial, located on the audio cable, absoluley sucks. Not sure if this is just my unit, but as you use the integrated volume dial to go from high to low volume, you’ll notice the balance between left and right just randomly shifts. This is surely annoying while gaming to adjust the volume. If you have this issue, I suggest turning the volume all the way to high, then use your keyboard to adjust the volume on the OS side, rather than the hardware side-The mic is a little finicky with MacOS on my Hackintosh, not sure why but I’ll keep working with it.-The ears are a little bigger than I imagined, but I feel like this may end up saving my ears throughout its life.-I wish the cable came with an integrated voice-chat/game volume balance feature, similar to Turtle Beach on Xbox. I understand the tournament edition includes this, but not sure if that is worth the $40 premium. A redesign of that stupid USB unit with the tournament edition would make this headset the best, hands down, headset on the market for $60-100.Summary:Both pros and cons considered–I love this headset. Of course, it has some flaws, like all things in technology do. Over the next few generations of this headset, I’m sure Razer will introduce some killer features to dominate the gaming market. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a headset that’s comfortable, functional, stylish, and inexpensive. With the features included in this headset, there’s nothing better out there that $60-70 can buy.

These headphones are amazing. They’re super cute, girly, and cancel out all background noise. My husband keeps trying to talk to me while I have them on and I can’t hear a word he is saying, haha. If you’re super girly or just want to make your gaming/computer station girly, I suggest getting the kitten ears that attach to the top of the headphones. I love these headphones and will be buying all the matching Razer products 😀

Great headset, amazing sound quality, perfect for what I need. My biggest issue is the color. The color in the pictures look more like a rose gold, but in person it’s almost hot pink.

This Razer Kraken Gaming Headset is the best Headset I have ever owned. The price of the headset compared to my Turtle Beach Ear Force Elite 800X is Day and Night. I 100% regret even buying my Turtle Beach Headset at that extremely high price when I could have saved a lot of money and waited time doing research if I would have came across this Kraken Headset first! The sound quality is just as amazing for a fraction of the price! When playing online, my party can hear me as if I were sitting right next to them. This Headset has definitely upend my gaming skills. As for the Wolverine Ultimate… Basically all I need to say is that I returned my Xbox Elite series 2 to purchase this Wolverine after getting a test run at a friends house. The way the back M Buttons (paddles) are positioned may feel a little odd at first, but after an hour into gaming you will be a master. The fact that they have the Focus & Agility setup on the back M buttons is unlike anything I have seen and truly helps in multiple ways for all types of games. Last but CERTAINLY not least is the M buttons (trigger) on the top. At first I thought that they were going to be unnecessary but it turns out that they are actually the most used buttons (for me) that I map out. They are positioned in just the right way that they feel very natural and easy to press. P.s The general button press on the controller is Way more responsive then the Elite 2. The buttons are more of a mouse click then a pressure push button…. AMAZING. GREAT JOB RAZER!
