Razer Kraken X Ultralight Gaming Headset: 7.1 Surround Sound - Lightweight Aluminum Frame - Bendable Cardioid Microphone - for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Mobile - Black

If you're looking for a semi budget gaming headphones, please consider this ones as a good option. After several hours of using them I could tell many things to take in consideration regarding audio, construction materials and software. I'll explain them in the same order: - The audio sign let's say, is V shaped. They are good for gaming but not so balanced for listening music so your best bet is to use an equalizer to rise frequencies between 1.2k and 2.8k. The response for high frequencies could result a bit more than desired, in my case I lowered them from the 6.4k to 20k by 1dB o 2dB. Each ear is different so your best bet is to try them and balance them according to your needs. Bass frequencies (20-180Hz) are strong enough to tickle your ears. - The materials using for it's construction seems to be a bit fragile, so take care of them properly and don't stress the headphones too much when stretching them to fit them in your head. Other than that, time will tell. - Regarding the software... The surrond software included with them is just that, just an option to turn it on or off, the real deal is the THX Spatial that will be offered as upgrade later (which could count as a value increase for this item). THX Spatial could seem to be great at first use until you start comparing the original sound vs the one with spatial and start noticing the sounds are completely mixed up. For example, games like Quake Champions could result in a disaster of loud music, low player sounds and no positional sounding at all. In other games like Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice it's not bad at all but it could be a bit muffled or it simple sounds different (not good as it changes the original experience). For me, the big deal is to use Equalizer APO and HeSuVi (both free and open source) as equalizer and surround virtualization apps, even with a VST reverb in the EQ. Now the sound GREAT, you will have plenty of options to configure EQ profiles for your headphones and squeeze it's real potential using virtual 7.1. Both apps could take you a bit of time to learn how to using them but completely worth the time spent. And a plus, this headphones includes a split connector so they can easily be used with a PC (my current usage), with a console or even with your phone with its mic as a handsfree device (it has the mic+stereo audio type jack).

I was looking for a gaming headset that offered both an acceptable sound quality and an affordable price. What I received blew my expectations out of the park! First, the price: If price is your biggest concern, this is probably on the upper end of your budget. After all, there are much cheaper headsets on the market. From my experience, though, other options are just no good - crackly sound, not durable, lucky if the mic is even decent. The price listed for this headset was the upper end of what I was willing to pay - and I don’t regret it! For quality: If someone handed me this set of headphones and told me to price it based on the sound quality, I would’ve valued it at double the amount that I paid for. For the price I paid, the sound is excellent. There were three added bonuses: the durability, the size, and the mic quality. I am an extremely clumsy person - I break a lot of things. I’ve dropped this headset, smacked it against a wall, tugged the cords, the whole nine yards (all accidentally - I’m not abusing it on purpose), and it hasn’t broken on me yet- it’s pretty durable. I’m sure if I were trying to break it, it wouldn’t be difficult, but very few of you are looking at this and thinking, “I want to be able to bend this like a stick without it breaking”. For size - I wear small hats/helmets/headphones (think mid-range child sizes), and it’s hard to find stuff that actually fits me. The smallest size fits me perfectly. My boyfriend - who’s got a normal sized adult head (Lol) - can wear these comfortably as well. Lastly, the mic quality: This is something that wasn’t even a concern for me until people started complimenting me on how clear my voice sounds through the device. One thing that is interesting to me is that the mute button works perfectly fine on my PC but not on my laptop. I have no clue what’s going on there, but I highly doubt it’s an issue with the headphones.

I purchased this headset for around $40, which is close to if not the least I have paid for a pair of headphones in the last three years. For that price, these are very good headphones. For this review I will be comparing them to Bose QC35 from several years ago. Those cost me $200 for comparison. Sound Quality The Bose puts a little emphasis on bass, but its bass does not go as low as some of the best headphones I have. The Razer Kraken does not boost the low frequencies, but it does a wide clear sound stage. Mic Quality The Bose has a mic on its cord that dangles close to your chest. The Kraken has a supposedly cardiod mic at your mouth. When this mic is positioned correctly, it does pick up the subtler qualities of your voice. (It does not make you sound like a radio host, if you don't have a voice for that unfortunately.) Because the mic is so close to my lips, about a 1/4 inch sometimes, I can talk softly. The mic is supposed to not pick up background noise, but this does not work as well as I hoped it would. If I type on my keyboard, which is positioned on the opposite side of the mic, I can hear the clicks in the recording playbacks. Worse, I had someone's conversation directly behind me be picked up by my mic. Comfort Compared to the Bose, the Kraken X has deep ear cups with foam. At first, it feels hard against your head, but after a while the foam adjusts to your head's shape and it doesn't feel as hard. I have worn it for hours without pressure on my ears or head, but my ears did get warm eventually -- not uncomfortably warm, but warm. Build The headphones are quite sturdy and heavy. They have fallen off my work table twice onto the hardwood floor. It didn't seem to suffer any damage from that. I do not plan to conduct further drop tests. I have noticed that the boom where it attaches to the ear cups have a bit of wiggle. I don't know whether this was present when I received it, a result of daily use or a consequence of me dropping it. Noise Cancellation The foam padding isolates noise well enough. If there is conversation in another room, it becomes quieter and when there is sound from the computer, I can't hear the noise unless I try to focus on it. Conclusion It's a wonderful purchase. I highly recommend anyone who is in the market for a headset with a decent-quality boom mic to give this a consideration. Other Thoughts Unlike the newer Bluetooth earpods and headphones from Bose and Apple and Sony that have mic arrays and beam forming mics, the approach on this pair of headphones uses an older -- but not out-dated -- technique. It does not suffer from the digitization effect of those other mics or the delays associated with wireless technology. To go up one step in cardiod mics, you'd have to purchase a dedicated one for around $100.

Pros I like the way these look and the packaging was nice. The construction feels pretty solid to me. Sound quality is the best out of the ones that I've tried -- see below -- and I haven't even installed the 7.1 drivers yet. Came with the Audio jack splitter for PC gaming, making this headset super versatile. Cord is nice and long. Seems to be made of a good material. Not too bulky on my small head and seem to stay in place when I look down/shake my head. Cons Cords. Better quality, but will never be quite as free as wireless. A little heavy, I feel like it could get uncomfortable after a while. The splitter cable has Headset/Mic input plugs but they are not clearly labeled -- there is just a faintly colored band around the metal plug portion. This could be hard for some users to see/figure out. I purchased 4 different headsets (Logitech G435 - Wireless, HyperX Cloud Stinger Core - Wireless, Razer Kraken X - Wired, and Turtle Beach Recon 70X - Wired) all for around the same price-point (used/refurbished from Amazon when possible) with the intention to use them for PC gaming and the occasional work-from-home meeting. The Logitech G435 was by far the lightest and most comfortable on my small head. Highly recommend if you are looking for audio-only (not recording) and wireless. I believe that I will be sticking with the Wired Razer Kraken X based on sound quality and comfort. I compared all of the headsets using two audio sample videos from youtube (https://youtu.be/MkVyFZi8ClE and https://youtu.be/J0a2Prc_MQo). Based on my personal preference (clarity and depth of sound), I rank the headsets in this order: 1. Razer Kraken X - Wired 2. Turtle Beach Recon 70X - Wired 3. Logitech G435 - Wireless 4. HyperX Cloud Stinger Core - Wireless I've attached a microphone quality comparison video to this review. All recordings were taken within minutes of each other in the same environment and on the same computer. The wired headsets definitely win out over the wireless ones.

Summary: The sound is wonderful, its everything what i was expecting from its price, i bought it for 39,99 (it had a small sale). It is made from plastic, but is quite durable and also comfortable to wear. I was not able to spend more on a headphone, and I am quite comfortable with the quality and experience of the bought one. Has a nice vacuum but its not yet a noice cancelation. Anyways at this price that feature will not be found anyways. The only thing not quite comfy is microphone, being always attached. Overall ITS TOTALLY worth it, and the price Is great as well. Built material and performance in more details. mostly its plastic, and thick one, so it stands great. Wire is rubbered in a way that if something gets damaged first I do not believe by any stretch of imagine that it will be the wire. Coshions are very soft and comfartable, and no dealbreaker for people with glasses, I am constantly wearing glasses and no downside was experienced with coshions. The same material is put on the upper part which holds your head on hair section, very comfortable anf soft feel, to be more accurate there is almost no feel of something on your head. It creates a vacuum but I would not call it noice canceling headphone as you can compare with the real ones (which actually are 300 usd more or less, so I do not even care about their "NOT EXCELENT NOICE CANCELATION" as never expected getting one at this price range) The deal of the mic is the following: its always there you need it or not, you can mute it with a phisical button, its easy and reachable, located on the left earcup, to which the mic is attached as well. The wire of mic seems good quality too, and is very flexible and stands strait in the position you stretch it, but stiil, can not dissapear, you can bend it away if you are not using it and for me it works fine. Next to mic mute button (which is also unmute button to bring the voice back) there is also a volume controller which I have not got used to it yet, well, not a dealbreaker as well, takes a second more to find them, Quality really seems good, two months already, no phisical damage, neither any changes in performance, keeps me satisfied as I was. In the bag it has two wires, one is for PC, the ones which has a mic and sound hole, usually green and pink ones (both 3.5mm), you can find them easily on your PC case where the input holes are located. The other one just gets connected with 3,5mm to already described one and has the headphones on the other end. I usually use the main one with the headphones with my laptop and phone ( basicly none of these does not have the pink hole for the mic as well, but actually it feels the same as with my PC when I use both wires) and the performance still is great. Go get them if you are looking for a budget headphones with a nice performance for gaming or calls, can be considered as a great gift as well.

I purchased this headset for work, not gaming, so I'll start with that. I needed something reliable to connect to my laptop while I'm working remotely, and these were a good price. They feel well made, they are very light and sit comfortably on my head. The microphone is nice and flexible, I can put it up and out of the way when I'm not speaking and it moves smoothly and doesn't feel like it's going to break off if I bend it too far. My only issue is they do squeeze my ears after I wear them for a long time, and I can't wear earrings with them, but that doesn't change their quality. The volume adjustment and mute button are on the back of the headset, so that's a little awkward to find when you're not looking at it, but it just takes some getting used to. The sound quality is very good, I feel like I'm immersed in whatever I am hearing when I have these on, whether that's a meeting on Zoom or a great song. They don't completely cancel noise, I can hear if someone speaks loudly in the next room while I am wearing them. But that's not a deal breaker either, if you want true noise cancelling headphones that's a dedicated purchase you should make elsewhere. Overall I am very satisfied.

I bought these a little over four months ago and they work great. My mic is crisp and my friends can hear me clearly. It does pick up a lot of background noise in the mic though. It was never a huge problem for me though. The mic even sounds good when I'm using discord on my phone. The sound quality is great. It makes playing games a more immersive experience and I use them to call my boyfriend over the phone because I can just hear him better while using them. They are comfortable to wear after some getting used to them. My ears hurt for about a week when I first got them but it's fine now. My only problem with them is that the plastic on the right headphone snapped in half. I put some duct tape on them and they work as good as before. The sound in the right headphone still works but the sliding of the duct tape makes the plastic separate and that makes it very stressful to wear these headphones. I'm not rough with my headphones. I do wear them almost constantly but now I have to be even more cautious with them than I already was. I'll be buying a different, more sturdy pair of headphones in the future when I have the funds to do so. These would have been worth the $50 had they not broken on me.

I bought this product for casual gaming every few nights, and for the very reasonable price, I am extremely happy. True to the description, these headphones are super lightweight, and I have had no issues thus far with discomfort on my ears or side of head. The sound quality is good, as well as audio between a party chat. The mute button is easy to access, as well as the volume knob, and I like the 90 degree turn at the aux connection, so the cord goes down inside of straight towards me. Durability is good for the few weeks I have used them. The only downside for some buyers may be the noise cancelling. Due to their super lightweight feel, they fit great but the noise cancelling is not incredible by any means. I actually prefer this because I can still hear some of my surroundings while playing at a high volume, but if you want to completely block out sound you simply have to crank the sound. Otherwise, I am happy with this purchase, and would recommend this headset to anybody.

رخيصة وعملية ومن شركة مضمونة الصوت فيها حلو والمايكروفون جيد كان عليها عرض وشريتها بسعر رخيص شوف لها مراجعات على اليوتيوب قبل لا تشتريها معي من سنه تقريبا وما ندمت اني شريتها

These headphones are worth your money as it’s noise cancellation makes it easier to hear footsteps in fps games like warzone I highly recommend you buy these amazing headphones.

Bueno en resumen son buenos y son lo que esperaba. (Lee todo) Primero hablaré de lo bueno, al ser un poco grandes son cómodos y se notan resistentes, el audio es muy bueno aunque cometí el erro de comprar los de 3.5 y no los USB, quiero suponer que con USB el audio debe ser mejor, aunque con 3.5 es bueno, para música esta bien pero hay que recordar que no son para eso, en cuanto a su función principal que es para jugar (los uso en PC) con el famoso sistema de audio 7.1 puedo decir que si se nota, pero tampoco tanto, si no tienes el presupuesto para estos ve por unos estéreo, lo único malo que le veo es que las almohadillas no son de tela y por la temporada de calor transpiras, de ahí en fuera todo bien, considero fue una buena compra, iré actualizando esto conforme al tiempo, solo le recomiendo a quien los vaya a comprar que se fije si es que quieres que sean USB o de 3.5. Ya desde hace como 2 meses me pasa un problema con el lado derecho, se escucha muy bajo, tengo que mover el regulador de volumen para que se escuche "un poco mejor", también se rompieron del lado derecho (no se si eso afectará al audio), no llegaron al año funcionando bien (faltan 10 días, a día que escribo esto).

I guess with a title like that it seems a bit of a stretch but it’s the truth. I’ve had this headset for over a year now and it’s lasted without any problems. Pros: - great noise cancelling!! Can’t even hear my own keyboard, but at the same time just be wary that it’s really good at noise cancelling - comfortable for long uses. Never felt any pain or discomfort - has a mic - durable (I’m a pretty clumsy person who can break a lot of things accidentally, but these headphones have stood the test of time) - good sound !!!
