Originally, I purchased the Razer Kraken Pro headset based on a recommendation from my roommate. Its intended user is anyone who will play video game and wear the headset for an extended period of time. Convenience/Comfort The whole headset is padded at points where it will make contact with your head, ensuring comfort for any user. You can also adjust the speaker pads that go over your ears so they can fit any size or shape of head. The microphone can be retracted back into the headset for when you’re not playing games or talking to friends. This makes listening to music and videos less awkward. The cord is pretty long, allowing for good range of motion and positioning in your chair. Because it uses a USB plug-in, switching between systems is quick and easy. Plus, ... MoreOriginally, I purchased the Razer Kraken Pro headset based on a recommendation from my roommate.

Plus, most computers and consoles have multiple USB slots so you can use a controller or mouse as well without worry.Sound Quality Overall sound quality is good neither headset I’ve purchased ends up distorting sounds or degrading in audio quality over time. Microphone quality is also top-notch and stays that way. Other headsets tend to degrade more quickly over time, especially if they use the normal headphone plug-in. The noise cancelling effect is less aggressive than other headsets.

To start off, I got these on a discount. I got arctis wireless pros and I had a very high baseline to compare.Comfort is 9/10. They feel great, wore them for 5 bourse with no pain or discomfort. My ears did get a bit sweaty, but that always happens with playing the warzonks.for gaming these kitty headphones are pretty good. For some reason, picking up on footsteps was marginally better. I have no idea what witchcraft they are using in this headset. This was using stereo which is best for directional pinpointing in my opinion. Shots sounds very crip and bass is good and not much worse then the arctis if you play with the settings in the software for the kitty headset.Music and content is were it falls short, my wireless pros crush it in every aspect. But you ... MoreTo start off, I got these on a discount. I got arctis wireless pros and I had a very high baseline to compare.Comfort is 9/10.

But you are comparing a 100$ headset to a 250$ headset so I can say that they are worth their value for sure.Also pink, rbg, and different settings for it to glow and what not…. So cool. Girlfriend loves them too.

AMAZING BUT ONLY FOR A YEAR.

Now I cant seem to not buying these headphones..... I love them for streaming as they add to my streaming Theme. But I now have bought 3 pairs in the last 2 years.... The cord gets tangled so much and ive tried all different ways to take care of them, especially the last 2 pairs. After 6 months to a year you'll start to notice that it'll be sensitive to how loud the audio is... ( Ive tried keeping the audio low and it still happens) when a song or video audio gets high it would cut the audio and then make a popping noise. When im Streaming on Twitch. This would make an unpleasant sound through OBS streaming software that my viewers have noticed. This has happened to ALL 3 of the same headset that ive bought in the last 2 years.

If there was Any pink kitty headset that is anywhere as viusally appealing as the Razer Model I would by that instead, but Razers Kitty headset is the Most Visual Appealing and comfortable Kitty headset that you could find of the market these days and it sucks that this faulty is in every headset ive bought.

Awful wire tangling

I really enjoyed these headphones for the first few days I had them. The audio was better than any headset I'd had previously, plus a MUCH better mic than any I'd had before. The RGB is really fun and looks great. I honestly thought they were perfect.However, after a few days, the wires started to tangle up. Horribly. The cord is effectively shorter and naturally tangles up in all sorts of places. You can't untangle them, they tangle right back up. The wire material is rough on your hands and so it hurts when you're constantly trying to untangle them (it wouldn't be a problem if you didn't have to mess with the wire at all), and you can never play comfortably because of the effectively short wire constantly smacking you and things around you in the many sections ... MoreI really enjoyed these headphones for the first few days I had them.

I've tried so many things and nothing has fixed it.Unfortunately, this is such a significant issue that I'm afraid it's a deal-breaker for me, personally. Yeah, the headphones themselves are great in how they function, but how can you enjoy a product that is outright uncomfortable because of a bad wire? For the first few days, I would have given these a five-star review, but at this point I intend on returning them. My previous headphones, which were worse in every other way, had a nice thin wire that didn't do this at all (and that I really appreciate in retrospect). It's just horrible design and ruins an otherwise great headset. Extremely disappointed, especially after such a positive first impression.

Furmidable for Gaming

As a frequent, long-term casual gamer, this headset is my go-to- with a durable, high-quality cute headset. Personally, it is one of the better headsets that I've come across, however, there are some minor features that I'd prefer to change.Overall build:Some aspects of this product that I enjoy are the ability to personalize it, the build quality and audio produced. The cat ears are what stood out to me the most when I saw these. The headset is very customizable, with the RGB lights on the kitty ears and the earcups to add flair to the wearer- with multiple effects that can be changed with the software. The lights are also very interactable with the audience on platforms like Twitch, which is a nice touch. But along with the kitty ears, it makes the headset ... MoreAs a frequent, long-term casual gamer, this headset is my go-to- with a durable, high-quality cute headset.

The lights are also very interactable with the audience on platforms like Twitch, which is a nice touch. But along with the kitty ears, it makes the headset heavier than a normal headset. Over time, I can feel the weight of the band on my head- which got a bit uncomfortable over time, and I had to remove it for a while to release the pressure. Unlike previous headsets that I've used, this headset was manufactured using durable materials such as synthetic leather, steel and aluminum on the frames, accompanied with a fabric band (not rubber/leather). The cat ears are hard plastic but are still quite sturdy otherwise. The padding in the earcups, although look a bit bulky- are soft, and work well with eye-wear. It is infused with a "cooling gel" to prevent your head from overheating, although for me- it doesn't really work and it still gets a bit toasty, which I'm not sure if it's caused by the RGB lights or by the build up of body heat over time.Audio and mic:The sound produced by this headset is powerful, especially the bass, and can be adjusted with an equalizer to suit both gaming and casual use. When gaming, the direction footsteps, and gunfire can be identified with the built-in 7.1 surround sound (THX) audio. The toggle button, which allows the user to quickly switch between stereo and THX is extremely useful- but in a lot of cases, I could not tell whether THX was on or not. The mic that comes with this headset, a retractable, bendy, mutable and noise cancelling one- is one of the best I've come across in a headset. The audio is clear and the mute button on the mic is convenient, lighting up red when on mute. However, I prefer to turn off the noise cancelling function as I find it distorts the sound in a way by compressesing it- making it not sound "natural".Overall, I'd recommend this headset, especially for those who stream because of the functions. Although it is a bit- pricy- The quality of the product is quite good and the features that come with it make up for it.

Good sound/mic quality, but can be uncomfortable..

Overall this product is decent in terms of sound and mic quality. but I still wouldn't recommend it over most other options, because they can be rather uncomfortable sometimes. I definitely don't regret the purchase whatsoever BUT if comfort is important to you, I wouldn't recommend any of the kraken headsets. I've gotten used to it after some use but my ears will still hurt a lil whenever I take them off because of the release of pressure/weight I guess.And the cooling layer.. well I didn't even notice that was a feature when i bought it but it's pretty unnecessary (at least in my experience), and the sweat absorption too?? I get why it's a feature (some people just sweat a lot I guess?) but it's not like I'm going for a hike wearing these.. and even if i were ... MoreOverall this product is decent in terms of sound and mic quality. but I still wouldn't recommend it over most other options, because they can be rather uncomfortable sometimes.

I get why it's a feature (some people just sweat a lot I guess?) but it's not like I'm going for a hike wearing these.. and even if i were i'd much rather be going for a swim than knowing that the headband is just sucking it all up and letting it fester in there. Like there is such a thing as cleaning.. but hey.. maybe I have to much faith in this market when it comes to cleanliness.You'd think that the product would be a lil heavier than most because of the ears..., yes, half of that is true. It's a bit heavier feeling than your standard headset but it's not because of the ears. The weight [to me] feels like its coming the actual headphone parts, i think there's just a lot going on in there that just isn't necessary, depending on what exactly you're looking for.I tend to stream with a camera so the audio responsive feature of the ears is a fun and entertaining edition. Basically Just look at the other headsets that you're in the market for because it's mainly the comfort levels that you should look out for if you're looking into buying any kraken headset.p.s. I'm praying that the sweat absorption feature isn't an actual selling point for you. YES YOU [I'm pointing right at you]. Don't be a crusty ipad kid and AT LEAST clean out you're keyboard/controllers every once in a while.. If you've never done this and think you need a new remote/keyboard, you may not even need a new one. Just clean the thing already! and it may start working just fine again.

Razer Kraken Kitty Chroma RGB Headphones (Quartz, RZ04-02980200-R3M1)

I have an Arctis Pro GameDAC that sounded really good with excellent 3D positional sound, but the DAC was extremely glitchy its entire life and kept switching from Game to Chat every time I woke the PC from sleep or launched a game. I had to unplugreplug the DAC nearly every time to get it to run the GameDAC Game mode. Eventually the DAC crashed entirely and Game would no longer work at all, leaving me with only Chat and the chat mode sounded meek for in game audio.Steelseries agreed to RMA it even though it was out of warranty Good on you Steelseries since it was a known issue, but they would only RMA the DAC and not the entire headset DAC. Stock on the DAC only was constantly MIA thanks to covid, so I waited nigh on 11 weeks before the DAC alone was available.

Stock on the DAC only was constantly MIA thanks to covid, so I waited nigh on 11 weeks before the DAC alone was available. In the meantime, I first bought the Astro A40 MixAmp, which I owned less than 24 hours, then took that back and bought the Kraken Ultimate headset instead, so I would have quality gamechat audio with clan mates while I waited for the DAC. To be honest, I was intending to return the Kraken if the DAC showed up within the 14 day return period, or sell the Kraken when the DAC showed up if outside the 14 days. shame facedWell color me surprised because this headset truly kicks gluteus maximus, and I may just sell my 243 Arctis Pro GameDAC if the replacement DAC ever arrives, and keep the Kraken Ultimate instead. This is a really good headset and for 120 less than the Arctis Pro GameDAC, or the even more expensive 250 and abysmally bad Astro A40 MixAmp.With the THX Spatial audio on the Razer Kraken Ultimate 129 on BestBuy, you can tell exactly where an enemy is in 3D sound, vs approximately knowing the direction with the 2D plane surround of many competitors, which doesnt help locate opponents abovebelow you. And the Kraken Ultimate is ridiculously better than the abysmal stereo from all directions at once, bad guy echoing from everywhere directional sound of the Astro A40 MixAmp Why does the A40 MixAmp get nearly 5 stars Really, it was awful Like 30 ultra budget headset bad.The sound on the Kraken Ultimate is deep, rich and full with solid bass, while not sounding muddy and bears full presence while sounding crisp as long as you dont turn bass boost on, which makes everything in game sound muddy. By comparison, the Astro A40 MixAmp distorted at low volumes, had no presence, and 16 naval guns sounded like those paper 4th of July snappers you throw at the ground, or a drum stick against a galvanized trash can lid, and that is being generous. I know I said it, but Im still trying to figure out why that pile of awfulness gets nearly 5 stars It is shockingly bad for a 250 headset.Audio on the Kraken Ultimate is genuinely great, customization personalizing options for the sound settings and EQ tweaking is abundant, it has double the EQ band adjustments over its far more expensive A40 brethren 10 vs 5 bands and more MIC adjustments to dial in how your voice sounds. The MIC is also clear and easy to understand and mutes easily with a press on the MIC itself, with a red light on the MIC to let you know it is muted. It is also comfortable on the head with no pressure points and has larger ear cups than any Razer headset I have previously owned, so no pressure on the ears at all. This headset seriously competes with rivals far senior in price 243 Arctis Pro GameDAC, and annihilates the 250 Astro A40 MixAmp in every category.My one and only quibble with the Kraken Ultimate headset, is that the cord is about 3 feet shorter than the others approx 6 vs 9, necessitating plugging it into a front port on your PC tower vs the rear port that I had the others plugged into, and a reroute of the cord as a result. If Razer would add 3 foot of cord to this thing, it would be a 5 star headset all day long without even blinking. Even with the short cord issue, I still give the Kraken Ultimate a solid 4 and totally recommend this headset. Just make sure your front ports are working reliable before buying.

The Razer Nari Ultimate is an excellent piece of gaming hardware However, there are some things that you, the buyer, should be aware of1. In my honest opinion, you will need to tweak the equalizer sound settings to suite what you like best, because the default sound settings and preset equalizer sets dont do this gaming headset any justice again, this is just my opinion. I strongly suggest you search out best settings for the Razer Nari Ultimate online, even YouTube. I was ready to return this headset because I was not impressed with the sound I was getting. I decided to do some further research and discovered that the user really should tweak the equalizer sound settings using the custom EQ settings option.

Doing this made a HUGE difference and totally made a complete opposite impression on me I decided to keep this headset2. The battery life is advertised as 20 hours with Haptics and RBG lighting off, and 8 hours with Haptics and RBG lighting on. While it is true that youll get at or very near to 20 hours without the extras, the advertised 8 hours with Haptics and RBG lighting on is true right to the minute. If you turn Haptics off and leave the RBG lighting on, youll get a bit longer than just 8 hours. However, if you turn on Haptics and leave RBG lighting off, youll get 8 hours solid. Weird, I know, but just realize that RBG lighting doesnt draw as near as much energy as the Haptics will.3. You can still use the headset while its being charged big plus for some gamers.Im very impressed with the Razer Nari Ultimate gaming headset.
