Upgraded to these from a 20 Amazon cheapie, suppose it’s evident these are going to be better, but much better quality to detect enemies locations, immersive, brill, noise cancellation is a bonus when you need to escape for a bi
mic works perfectly! it’s great that you can move/ bend it in any direction you wish.
the quality itself is 10/10. loving the pink/ grey. feels somewhat heavy and expensive. i like how the lights light up whenever you want them to come on!
i recommend this headset – compatible for xbox series x.
noise cancellation 10/10 – cannot hear a thing, not even my self sing which is great.
this is so much better than all of the other head sets i have used and gone through in the past.
definitely worth the money!
the best thing about them is the retractable mic. it is cool because it’s hidden when he wants to play games and not using the mic
Second time I’ve bought this. My first purchase lasted a few months, unfortunately the jack pin snapped due to my own fault through misuse. Second purchase was a couple weeks ago and the quality is great, they’re comfy and the sound quality is amazing, unfortunately they’re rather large (the side earpieces are around 2″ wide) but they are a great purchase when on sale, I got mine for around 40. Mic quality so far is good, no echo, however if it’s too close to your mouth people will hear your breathing unfortunately lol
Bought this on Prime Day for a birthday present and we were very impressed. Really good sound quality, and the quality of the headset itself is of a really high standard. I fact that the headphones have a metal ‘frame’ (not plastic like many others) was a highlight for me!
Still breaking them in but apart from that they’re very comfortable and the foam pads don’t feel like foam but instead jel. The sound is amazing but I haven’t been able to use the mic yet as I prefer offline gaming. The box it came in was very sturdy and had no chance of being destroyed on the way to my house.
This headset is great all round and by far the best I’ve used in terms of sound quality, the retractable mic is a genius design and good for when I just want headphones, the only thing that lets it down, and the reason I can’t give it 5 stars, is the volume wheel, it’s way too loose and easy to adjust by accident.
My favourite part of the headset is the surround sound feature, it makes gaming really immersive and its great for shooter games where you need to listen for footsteps.
The normal sound system is great too, I find the headset really comfortable to wear and even after hours of continuous use it is still good. The RGB on the earphones is a nice extra feature.
Unfortunately the microphone isn’t great but most gaming headsets don’t have the best microphones anyway so its not a decider. I pair the headphones with a separate microphone anyway so it’s no issue
Overall a good headset if you’re looking for something that’s comfortable whilst also having a good sound system.
ot bad for the cost, comfortable to wear for long periods and the mic is good enough. however, the sound quality is honestly not as good as previous razer krakens (i used razer kraken kitty edition v1 before these), ive noticed the bass isnt as good. and when in a call there is occasionally a horrible crackling static noise that i have not experienced with any other headset. but overall not a bad product.
This headset is a game changer,the haptic feedback changes your experience completely.It is also extremely comfortable there are no problems wearing this for long gaming sessions, you can customise the lighting and sound profiles and it’s worth downloading the razor synapse program to compliment these great headphones.Battery life with haptic feedback and lights on is about 12 hours or without about 35 -40.Best headphones I’ve owned ,can’t comment on detachable mic as I haven’t used it yet .
One of the standout features of the Razer Kraken X is its 7.1 surround sound software. This technology has undoubtedly elevated my gaming experience, providing me with clear and precise position-dependent sound. Whether I’m engaging in intense battles or sneaking through stealthy missions, the ability to recognize the direction of in-game sounds has proven invaluable. It truly feels like I’m right in the middle of the action, immersed in the virtual world.
Comfort is paramount during long gaming sessions, and the Razer Kraken X delivers in spades. The soft headband padding has effectively reduced pressure on my head, ensuring that I can wear the headset for hours without discomfort or strain. The adjustable headband allows for a perfect fit, preventing any slipping or readjustments during gameplay. Moreover, the lightweight design, weighing in at only 250g, makes the headset almost unnoticeable on my head, which is a blessing during marathon gaming sessions.
The oval ear cushions, made of memory foam, are a testament to Razer’s commitment to comfort. They provide a plush and cozy fit, perfectly molding around my ears to create a noise-isolating experience that enhances my immersion in the gaming world. I can hear even the most subtle audio cues, enhancing my ability to react swiftly to in-game events.
In terms of audio performance, the 40mm custom-tuned drivers in the Razer Kraken X deliver a clear and balanced sound that is second to none. From the thunderous explosions of warfare to the delicate footsteps of stealthy enemies, this headset ensures that every sound detail is captured with impressive clarity. The audio quality remains top-notch even after years of use, proving the durability and consistency of this fantastic gaming gear.
The bendable cardioid microphone is a standout feature of the Razer Kraken X. Its flexibility allows me to position it close to my mouth, ensuring crystal-clear communication with my teammates during multiplayer matches. The microphone effectively filters out background noise, ensuring that my voice comes through loud and clear, making teamwork seamless and effortless.
Over the years, I have put the Razer Kraken X through rigorous gaming sessions, and it has withstood the test of time without losing its impressive performance. The build quality has proven to be robust and reliable, and the headset continues to function flawlessly.
If I were to nitpick, I could mention that the 3.5mm connection might not be as convenient as a wireless option, especially for those who prioritize freedom of movement. However, this is a minor concern compared to the overall excellence of the Razer Kraken X.
In conclusion, the Razer Kraken X has been an unbeatable gaming companion for over three years. Its 7.1 surround sound software, comfortable design, and clear audio performance make it an essential piece of gaming gear. Whether you’re a casual gamer or a hardcore enthusiast, this headset will undoubtedly enhance your gaming experience. If you’re in the market for a reliable, comfortable, and high-performing gaming headset, the Razer Kraken X is an excellent choice that will not disappoint.
Starting with the positives; it’s a good headset in most terms. It comes with a detachable microphone and has a very sleek and modern design. It has extremely good sound output through the ears so you can listen to your media very clearly. It has a couple controls on the headset itself like to mute and turn the volume up and down.
The negatives; the sound input is not very good. When I can my friends they often complain my microphone is too quiet. I’ve played around in volume controls and it seems that the microphone itself is not very good. However, considering the microphone is detachable, I assume you might be able to attach your own microphone to the headset.
This is a great headset and lasted 2 years for my son before the cable stopped working. I’d give it 5 stars if it was easy to buy replacement cables but I cannot find any anywhere (UK). An initial cable issue was “fixed” using a bamboo straw and duck tape and that lasted really well, for over a year. But now the cable has gone again, somewhere else. I’m still trying to fix this and will update if I can but I think I maye have to buy a new headset, which is a shame, because the headset itself is still in good shape.
