The headset is very comfortable, so playing games for a long period of time was no problem whatsoever. When it comes to gaming with the Kraken, it wasn’t the best experience, but it wasn't that bad. However, like all of Razer’s devices, the Kraken can be used to simulate the surround sound experience with the Razer Surround software. The Razer Synapse program won’t recognize it unless you have either the THX Audio DAC that comes shipped with the Kraken TE, or pickup the aftermarket USB Audio Enhancer for the device. They even come with indented channels along the ear cushions for glassesīecause the Kraken uses a 3.5mm jack, it’s limited in terms of software compatibility. Razer even issues a warning for this in the instruction manual for the Kraken, although with proper care, things should remain just fine. If there is something to be worried about, it’s the headband's use of an aluminum frame which could result in the headset getting overly stretched out if you pull the earcups too wide when fitting them over your head. ![]() They even come with indented channels along the ear cushions for glasses, which helps aid in overall comfort, especially for the visually impaired amongst us. Where other headsets might eventually start to feel heavy on the ears or offer no breathability, the Kraken are surprisingly light, and obviously built to be used for long periods of time. The cushions themselves have seen a bit of an upgrade, though, as the ones found in the newest Kraken are made to be as cool as possible thanks to the addition of cooling gel into the earcups. The size of the ear cushions remain the same and are more than big enough for any head, and feature cushioned foam for your head. The Kraken boasts not only thicker padding along the headband, but also has better padding around the ears. The main difference in the new headset is found where you’ll feel it the most.

The Kraken also retains the inline volume controller and mute toggle for the mic, so access to shutting off the mic and controlling audio are always within reach. It sports the same 50mm drivers (and 3.5mm audio jack) as the Kraken Pro, so they're bigger than the 40mm drivers typically found in the sub-$100 headset space. The headset still features a bauxite aluminum frame, which gives it a nice, light feel, and a braided cable. ![]() Razer Kraken – Design and FeaturesĪs far as design goes, the Kraken doesn’t deviate from its predecessor much, if at all. As a wired headset it offers cross-platform compatibility, and is available in black, green, and pink. Priced at $80 ( See it at Dell), the Kraken aims to deliver comfort and booming audio at an affordable price, as it's just below the $99 price tag for most midrange gaming headsets. Razer's latest entry into the headset space is the Razer Kraken, which is a mildly upgraded version of the midrange Kraken Pro V2. ![]()
