Razer Kraken V4 Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2024-10-13

After working a bit with the Synapse settings, we fired up Still Wakes the Deep, Alien Isolation and The Medium: the 40mm Titanium Triforce drivers are able to deliver a great atmospheric experience, with punchy bass, clear voices, while THX audio really makes you think you are using a much more expensive multiple-speaker setup around you. We did really enjoy the breathable fabric earpads which, in our experience are more durable in time versus leatherette ones, but also the retractable microphone, a function we learned to enjoy with SteelSeries headsets as well!

A Closer Look Part III

On the back side of the dongle, we will note some extra inscriptions:

 

 

 

The frequency is printed in the frontal area, highlighting we are dealing with a WiFi connection:

 

 

 

Kraken V4 does come with a plastic construction and very good quality of components so it won’t creak during utilization. The all-black design does highlight the RGB effects better, and the comfort is excellent thanks to the breathable fabric with memory foam cushions:

 

 

 

The entire area of the headband is padded for ensuring optimal comfort when compared to less expensive, entry-level models with only a small portion of padding in the middle:

 

 

 

The earcups do come with a closed design, while the rotation can be done with an angle over 90 degrees:

 

 

 

The middle area does come with a piano black plastic circular logo, with the RGB-enabled Razer emblem. The rest of the cover does feature lots of small perforations, to let the RGB lighting shine through:

 

 

 

On the left cup, we will note a microphone mute button, but also a volume wheel:

 

 

 

Next, we have a Power button but also a Status indicator, which will blink red when we have low battery power, will blink yellow when the battery has a medium charge status, will blink green when the battery is almost full and will stay lit green when the charging has been completed. This LED will also show the connection status in wireless mode. The USB-C can be spotted nearby:

 

 

 

The microphone is docked inside the earcup, a design we do prefer a lot to the removable designs:
