Sound
Headset is amazing for gaming especially if you like razor synapse as it allows you to have the full functionality of the headset. Being able to switch between special audio and change the balance on the external mini amp allows you to control your immersion.
Best in price range
Awesome value for the price I paid. Sounds amazing with ps5
Game change
If its your first headset or you are upgrading from a cheaper alternative (turtle beach, other amazon brands) then this will blow you away.
The directional audio is 2nd to none – game changer for FPS.
Mic is crystal clear and the ability to retract it into the headset will help preserve it for future use.
Highly recommend.
Good Quality
Good Quality, decent sound, cable is well shielded and fairly long.
Definately a good buy.
Mine are pink :)
For better noise cancellation you have to have your volume a bit up
But all round there grea
Good and cute
Bought it for my xbox series s. Headset have great sound to it, really good noise cancellation and cute looks. I couldn’t fault it if I tried
For the price can’t really complain, I think the 7.1 sound is software based. Build quality was adequate considering the price. Quite lightweight howeve
I am used to higher end headphones aimed at higher end enthusiasts but this headset is good better then any of the other gaming headsets I have owned so far just be nicer to have ANC however I didn’t expect to have that at this price point, great overall.
My partner bought me these years ago and I’ve been using them since, my sister wanted a pair herself so I got her them! We both use them for gaming and on the pc, they’re a great headse
living sound
They take a little getting used to at first, but its well worth the perseverance. They bring a whole new level to the gaming experience.
ice sound positionig ,tracing enemy in MW BO, Enlisted, or any other FPS game seems right. Music – just get some amplifier and DT-990 🙂 Fragile cables, i think they wont last long but its just a prediction, No USB connectivity – can be plugged to xbox controller – wich is bad for PC users. Overall itst really good – for the price.
Sound is ok. No more than OK.
Isolation is dreadful — ambient sounds come right through to your ears.
Mic is ok.
Cord is good as cords go, but I don’t really know why you wouldn’t go cordless — the cord gets annoying easily.
Very nice headset, comes with the same colour splitter in the box. Microphone is retractable and bendy! Both mic and the headphones themselves are great quality. Noise cancellation isn’t the best but I wasn’t looking for a noise cancelling headset anyway.
I hope it lasts!
Almost perfect.
I didn’t want to give this a 4* so I’ll give it a 4.9/5,only due to not being able to swivel the ear covers individually. Other than that, it’s great value for money.
I have had no complaints on the microphone end of things, and the sound quality is great for what you’re paying.
I am an adult gamer girl who streams and all my life I have dealt with the problem that I am quite small and therefor, I have a small head. This results in me having to buy kids/youth sunglasses and hats, no joke. So getting a headset has always been hit or miss. I tend to have to buy cheaper ones as they are generally lighter and smaller but they are never as good quality. I sometimes buy 2 or 3 different headsets at a time just to get one that fits and isn’t too heavy. I have tried them all – Turtle Beach, SteelSeries, I have spent a small fortune over the last 10 years on headsets that I couldn’t use. Well, no more. This is perfect. The quality is amazing, the fit is tight and comfortable, my ears actually fit inside the bit they are supposed to! And the cherry on top; I got it in a flash sale! Best purchase in years, I am so happy. Hope this helps someone out there in a similar position, honestly, look no further than Razor Kraken Ultralights. Happy Gaming Everyone!
They are big
Everything is wonderful, until you wear these too long. The cooling gel does work but eventually becomes overwhelmed. The weight of these things isn’t bad but you will begin to feel it with enough time, and adjustments to fit your head come at the cost of a barely blood stopping grip just to keep it in place if you aren’t sat down. Lying down with these will be bad for your head if used for more than 2h, which is a shame as they are wonderful for night-time relaxation thanks to the sound quality. Considering these are mainly for gaming I rate them 5 stars, but for those others out there looking for a headset and decent multipurpose headphones just be wary of prolonged use when lying down.
prefacing this with I know nothing about headphones:
they sound great, they’re super comfy, don’t do that thing cheaper ones do where they get claggy if you wear them too long, very good length of cable, nice sounding mic according to others, ect.
genuinely can’t fault them, been a few months a couple of light drops, no dip in quality
I bought these reduced from 85 mostly for the THX Spatial. Headphones are not bad but I don’t really see much of a difference from a low budget gaming headset to be honest. Razer apps are a bit of a pain to deal with. Once everything is installed it works fine. If the price was not reduced to around 45 when I got them I would definitely not spend 90 for them….way better options on the market for the price.
Decent, but you're better off spending a bit more for better quality
Having owned Razer headphones in the past I decided to buy Razer again and I am happy with my decision. This is a good headset if you don’t want to spend too much money, however I would hold on for a more expensive headset as the quality, whilst good, is not outstanding. My main problem with this headset is the microphone, the quality is not very good and it is also not retractable, which means it can be a bit of a nuisance at times. There is also no remote, the volume level adjuster and mic on/off button is on the back of the left cup, I would personally prefer a remote as reaching to the back of the left cup is somewhat of an inconvenience. Sound quality is good, but not amazing; there are no interesting features like THX Synapse on the costlier Razer headsets.
Overall, a good headset on a budget, but if I could go back in time I think I would have opted for one of Razer’s more expensive offerings.
Durable.
I love the little mute button on the left side of the headset.
The quality of this mic is quite clear, but its sensitivity learning can be awkward at times and I had to readjust my mic settings via PC three times throughout the 9 months I’ve owned it.
It’s quite durable and sturdy and I drop things a lot, especially when playing VR.
A cheap pop filter around the mic will make it much better too.
I definitely recommend a buy if you want a great quality headset that’ll last you a while.
I’m fairly certain this would have lasted me longer had I not dropped it eight times.
The only damage it has received in my 9 months of owning and dropping it however;
Is a small tear along the headset band and the left headset strap has cracked and is currently threatening to snap at any moment.
TL;DR
Good headset will last you 8 months at least.
Great for Fortnite
Not tested with other games as I’m new to this genre, but surprisingly good with fortnite. They really do deliver surround sound performance, which you need in role play games like this.
Set up was a pain, but I got there eventually. But then I’m new to this sort of stuff. Not sure that I’m using the full range of features that come with the package, but they do what I need them to do.
Fantastic all rounde
I have three of these in my household now so that should give you some idea how good these are.
Bought my first pair a couple of years ago direct from Razer – these headsets are also available as an “oval” option, and with cut outs in the foam pads for glasses wearers. There are also headset stands available, but these do not feature any of Razer’s Chroma lighting features.
Sound quality is excellent, and there’s an in line mute & volume control slider – but the game/chat mix needs to be done on the console.
These can be just be plugged into any controller and they just work like an official headset. I’ve tested these on Xbox One, PS4 & PS5 with no issues. The mic boom slides in and out of the left side earcup, and is very flexible.
Not for the money for a high end gaming headset look no further great sounds and Ingame controls along side its extra bass functions and sound balance control.very good headset overall
Great headset for gaming
This headset is great for gaming, and has decent enough quality for listening to music too.
I’d say they are not as good for general use (movies/TV etc) as they are a bit bass heavy and voices can sound a bit distant. They are, as I said, great for gaming though. With the 7.1 surround sound, although subtle, it’s a really good experience. The 50mm drivers are really loud too, and the quality stays the same so they are quite decent quality.
Would 100% recommend this headset at this price point (~40).
Absolutely love these headphones. Been looking to upgrade my old ones for a while and I got these as a birthday gift. They’re extremely comfortable and don’t hurt my head when I have my glasses on, which I know is important to a lot of people! The mic works great, the sound quality is super good too, and the lead is long enough to reach you, but also short enough to be out of the way. 10/10 for the adorable colour of these, love them so much!
Bought these for my daughter for the PS4.
Good quality well made earphones, work fine on the PS4.
Only issue is when you switch them into the mode to use the microphone the sound quality drops, which is a rubbish as my daughter mostly plays Fortnite.
Doesn’t bother my daughter as she loves the cat ears
Not Razors fault, mainly due to them being Bluetooth.
Decent headset for price
Good headset but not that loud and foots steps are very quite in many games
Headphones work well, microphone not so much
Disclaimer: bought as an Amazon return product, but listed as in perfect working condition.
The headphones are great, really clear audio and high quality. It’s plastic but.if.you are gentle and don’t go smashing it around it will last.
The microphone is useless. Every time I plug it in and test it, you can clearly hear all my audio from my PC being fed back in. I have tried multiple splitters, jacks, drivers and more to no avail. I believe its just bust, but I had a headset microphone available that I stuck to the side.of the headphones and they work fine.
Splitter is also quite flimsy, but it works and hasn’t broken with use for over a year now.
Buy for the headphones, not the mic. Recommended.
Works well with PS4
I like this headset. The cooling gel in the ear cushions is nice and still works even now that Iv had the set for a while. The sound quality is excellent and the mic is really good, my friends have told me I sound clear. The one and only criticism I have and it’s nothing major is that the set is slightly loose on my head so if I look down the set slowly slides and would likely slide off but being as they are for gaming you very rarely lower your head as your usually facing the screen ! I use these for the PS4.
Happy Game
Picked this up from Amazon Warehouse during one of their sale events and boy, what a buy
Arrived and could tell it had been opened but not used.
Set up was incredibly easy. Just plug into the Xbox controller and done.
Now, on the first few goes my teenage gamer complained the sound was very tiny, he could hear background noise and said it wasn’t good and needed to go back.
Didn’t really want to do that as there were none left in stock by this time so I checked online to see if anyone else has the same issue. People did! And there was a fix! Wooo
So, went into Xbox settings and changed ‘something’.
Sound was now brilliant and he could no longer hear any background noise & and he could hear footsteps in game to get that all important win.
Brilliant headset, looks great, comfortable etc
If I needed to get another headset, I’d happily get another one
I got this headset at a really good price and it was definitely worth the amount I paid. They’re super cute and I love the light up ears. To change the colours you have to download the razor app on your phone. I think the one on the pc doesn’t work with these ones! It was a little fiddly setting it up, but with the help of my friend, got it all set up and working. Sound quality is decent, it honestly could be a bit better for the money you pay, but it is what it is. This headset is mostly just for aesthetic value than it is for actual sound quality, but its not the worst by far!
Very comfy
I wear glasses now, so finding a good headset that doesn’t force my glasses arms into my skull is a hard one. This one does well to remove any pressure, however it doesn’t do a great job of passive noise cancellation. The package comes with a simply 3.5mm jack and then an extension cable for the PC which splits the audio and mic. The cable is braided with a nice soft material.
The headset is good quality and audio of the mic is great.
I think it’s about 60ohms as detected by my motherboard which after w bit of tweaking does well with sound, though this is not one for music listening. For 38 this is a steal so highly recommend.
I’ve had these headphones for a few months now and to be fair they’re decent, I like the weight and the feel of these, the sound quality is really good, though it’s something quite fiddly to change the volume mid game, but overall really good and reliable.
Main thing I dislike is how sometimes the connection drops though I haven’t moved, the audio will be fuzzy for a about a minute, though I could’ve gotten a faulty pair I’m not sure.
Last thing is I feel like he mic picks up too much sometimes, I could be drinking or swallowing normally and my mates can hear the whole process, kind of uncomfortable but not the biggest issue, just thought it was important. (especially for people who eat on mic)
As an overall rating these are an 8/10 for me 🙂
I ordered these for a discounted price (50). My use for these have mainly been for gaming and watching films/youtube, and have also used them for listening to music. They are great for gaming, giving an incredible range of sound. I can always hear opponents footsteps when playing fps games. They are also extremely comfortable, and have never felt the need to take them off even during long gaming sessions. The mic is also very good, but does sometimes start echoing. This is easily fixed by unplugging and plugging back in though. I have had this headset for a year now and have had no real issues, so I would highly recommend
Honestly nothing special but a fun addition to headset, slightly heavy however still funky. Personally I’d say a little over priced however your paying for the bran and not the item it’s self
They seem sturdy to me. I really had problems with other headphones wearing glasses, terrible headache, but these are ample enough not to squeeze them against my head. And the sound is great. That said, if you are looking for noise cancellation, these are not for you.
10/10 approve.
I have been desperate to own a pair of razer headphones for about a year, since I began gaming frequently. So seeing these beauties on offer, think I got them for 44 I grabbed the chance and purchased. I had wanted the kitty ear ones but they were abit pricier. However, these ones are fantastic! I can be fully immersed in a gaming session and I can block out everything around me. The sound quality is amazing! I have only used the mic twice for testing as I use a blue snowball for microphone but my friends told me the quality was great so I’m happy to use that as an alternative if my blue snowball ever breaks! They are a beautiful shade of pink, which fits in with my aesthetic! They are comfy for long gaming sessions, comfy across the head and ears and feel light. I highly recommend this headset! You won’t regret the purchase.
I use these for work and it allows me to block out most of the noise from my office whilst I am on Teams meetings. Very comfortable and I like how the mic moves out of the way so I can use them to listen to music from my phone.
