Razer Kraken 7.1 V2: 7.1 Surround Sound - Retractable Noise-Cancelling Mic - Lightweight Aluminum Frame - Gaming Headset Works with PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, & Mobile Devices - Black

Audio Quality: Decent (with software) Comfort Quality: Comfortable (The choice of ear cup shape is a good feature for those that have large ears or wear glasses.) Build Quality: Sturdy VERSION 1 of the Kraken: I purchased the original version of this headset and initially was not disappointed. This quickly changed however due to quick deterioration of the headset in multiple areas. Those areas being: Microphone- The microphone switch stopped functioning within two months of operation. While it was heavily used, I expected better from a headset marketed as one for heavy gaming on multiple platforms. Headband - The padding on the headset became unseated from the retention clips (plastic) within the first month of use. Another note is that the headband was constructed with a small thin gauge piece of spring-steel. This would have been an advantage for the headset, but was undermined by having plastic attached to the ends causing a major weakness right in the main areas of stress while being used. Shortly before I purchased the V2 headset, the folding joints (also plastic....sigh) broke on one of the ear cups. This forced me to purchase another headset soon or be left without one. Cable - The braiding of the cable was large and slightly loose. Needless to say, the cable started fraying and pinching. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSION 2 of the Kraken: Each one of these areas have now been targeted directly by their QA team to great success. Microphone- The microphone switch has now been overhauled with a new switch for many more presses. Headband - The retention clips are now metal and offer much tighter clamping for the padding. The Headband is now constructed completely out of aluminum. To achieve this, they have removed the folding feature from the headset. That feature loss has allowed the ear cups to be enclosed and mounted by the aluminum, making for a truly sturdy frame. Cable - The braiding of the cable is now very small and very tightly knit. It is quite difficult to for a kink or pinch to set in the cable. The braiding no longer catches or rubs heavily on surfaces and now wears very slowly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final thoughts: There are very few times I have risked purchasing from the same company after a devices build quality failed so quickly. This time I was delighted to find that Razer listened to the complaints made by its community and drastically altered the construction of the Kraken. They eliminated its faults and focused on creating a quality product (planned obsolescence be damned). A once decent headset has now been turned into one fitting of its price. I recommend it highly.

For a mid grade headset the microphone is excellent! Sound Quality for gaming is really good! Comfort level is awesome! I bought this headset because all of the mic test reviews on YouTube showed that this mic is one of the better sounding microphones for a mid level headset. I would have liked to pick up the HyperX Cloud 2's but the mic is terrible, and while the sound quality of the Cloud 2's might be a bit better, it wasn't worth getting a muffled microphone. I spend about 10 hours a day in Discord, and this mic is quality for Discord. Obviously if you are streaming or doing something more exotic, you would want a better microphone, but for Discord, and talking in-game, this microphone is the best sounding for a mid grade headset. This is definitely a PC headset, the only thing you can do is mute your mic, all the other settings require using synapse 2.0. I'm not a big fan of Razer's Synapse software, but what are you going to do. You can really configure this headset very well using snyapse 2.0. Because of a lack of functions outside of the software this headset is probably not ideal for everyone, but if you are like me, and primarily a pc gamer then this is a pretty sweet headset. I have been wearing it all day, and it is super comfortable. My ears do not hurt, and the top of my head feels great. The memory foam on the ear-cuffs is thick, and works great. This is probably one of the most comfortable headsets I have ever put on. I usually have to get my wife to make me a headset cushion, so that the top of my head doesn't hurt, but so far so good with this one. Make sure when you use the microphone, that you use synapse 2.0 to do adjust all your settings. I disable all the noise cancelling, and other settings inside Discord, and just make most of the adjustments with synapse 2.0. I had to adjust my mic sensitivity inside synapse 2.0 to get my microphone to work correctly in Discord. It was cutting out early until I adjusted it, just a heads up! I will update this review if anything changes, but right now I'm very happy with the 99 dollar headset!!!

Fast delivery, great price for a very good brand accessories, quality of sound and mic superb.

Bought these a month ago for my daughters birthday after she chose them for her Xbox. The title did say suitable for Xbox one. THEY ARE NOT. Do not buy these for an Xbox one as they have a usb and Xbox do not support usb headsets. We ended up getting the razer mercury headset and the turtle bay Xbox one headset adapter. Amazon have said they will refund the original purchase once received back to the states as it was their fault and will get the total of the item amended.

These not only look amazing, they SOUND AMAZING! I bought these for my gamer husband for his birthday, and he loves them - and I am jealous! I listened to the same song with my over-ear headphones, my earbud headphones (high quality), and then these headphones to compare - and the audio quality of these ones outperformed the other two by miles. Songs that are normally "meh" on my headphones made me want to weep when listening with these. And, if it matters to you, they look super cool and light up/change colours, if you're into that sort of thing. The microphone is also really great quality and softens outside noise so your friends can hear you. The build quality of these is phenomenal as well - the parts are metal instead of plastic, the headband portion is super soft and padded, and the ear covers are like clouds. I have a feeling these will last a super long time - and also that I may have to get some for myself as well!

Razer Kraken 7.1 Mercury Edition Estos headsets son lo mejores para su precio casi 2000 pesos, (yo los compre en rebaja), son en extremo comodos, no sudas al usarlos mucho tiempo y tampoco te duele la cabeza despues de una jornada larga. No se siente nada pesados, su diadema tambien es muy comoda. Estos headsets son 7.1, si se siente la diferencia al cambiar de 2 canales a 7.1 canales, en los juegos de FPS si logras diferencias mejor de donde vienen los disparos, bombas ETC y sino te gusta el preterminado siempre puedes volver a calibrar la posicion de sonido con el software de Razer. Se supone que son RGB, pero no tiene todos los colores que puede ofrecer el verdadero RGB. Tiene 40 colores para mostrar el software, pero en el headset solo se ven 8 (los colores de mayor fuerza). Pero tiene unos cuantos efectos que lo compensan. El MICROFONO es de buena calidad, se escucha muy bien y tiene filtros de ruido, se puede meter y sacar del propio headtset es muy practico, tambien aclara la voz desde el mismo software de razer. Cuando se mutea el microfono se puede ver un led rojo encendido. SONIDO, creo que es lo que mas les interesa, es espectacular. Se oyen muy nitidos y tiene unos bajos increibles, tiene rango de frecuencias muy buenos (10Hz-27kHz), los 10Hz no los puedes escuchar y tampoco los 27kHz pero los de 10Hz es mas para que sientas los verdaderos bajos y vibren las bocinas. Todo esto es siempre y cuando sepas ecualizarlo bien y tengas musica de buena calidad (yo las tengo en formato WAV sin perdidas) y los juegos, bueno cada juego tiene su propio sonido, pero en general a los juegos se oyen perfecto. Ahora bien, el envio fue rapido y gratis (soy prime) pero lo unico que me molesto del envio es que la caja esta aplastada. Tambien se les puede cambiar las orejeras. Funcionan en PS4 pero escuchar el microfono y es un poco molesto.

Son increíblemente buenos, buena calidad de materiales, cómodos y sobre todo a un buen precio Viene con el código de sonido 7.1, me encantó esta compra y los recomiendo muchísimo Solo que no me llegaron en una caja oficial, si no una de Amazon dejando de lado ese detalle están súper los audífonos
