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/Blue

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).

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.

I ordered this during this period of (surprise) work from home, and was genuinely, pleasantly surprised by the quality of the build. The headphones are light, but don't feel cheap; the padding on the earmuffs are just nice and conform nicely to my relatively large head. I also love that it has a built-in mute button that allows me to toggle the mic on and off. No more struggling to find the mute button on MS Teams/Zoom! The adjustable mic is great as well, as it allows me to move it according to my needs - drink? Get it out of the way. Talk louder? Move it closer to your mouth. The cable itself looks sturdy enough to withstand long use. Hoping that this lasts!

The headphones work well, I listen to a lot of music and they have a good sound quality, I also like that the cable is long since that means I can walk around my room with them on.

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).
