Razer Kraken Competitive Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2019-03-31

For testing the product, we have used our Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 internal soundcard; we have run multiple games such as Wolfenstein: The New Order, Guild Wars 2, Tera and GRIP Combat Racing. Thanks to the large, custom 50mm drivers we could hear explosions, gun shots and other effects in very much detail, while the character voices did remain clear at all times. The headset is also good for listening to your favorite music tracks while commuting to work and you will surely attract a lot of attention thanks to the catchy color choices.

The included microphone is retractable inside the Kraken chassis and features a unidirectional pick-up pattern for noise reduction:

Versus the Kraken Pro V2, we now have a thicker headband padding on the inside, for extra comfort:

The exterior side of the headband is padded with green-colored leatherette, also featuring a large Razer logo:

The headband can be also extended and features markings on both sides:

Since this is an analog headset, we do not need a lot of controls on the device, most of these being done directly from the sound source; here we do have a microphone on/off switch, but also a small Volume wheel:

On its back, we will find another discrete Razer logo:

The headset jack plug can be used with devices with3.5mm audio+mic combo jacks:

For the other analog devices, we have the previously-mentioned adapter; all jacks are gold-plated for optimal contact:
