Razer Kraken Ultimate RGB USB Gaming Headset: THX 7.1 Spatial Surround Sound – Chroma RGB Lighting – Retractable Active Noise Cancelling Mic -…

Console owners!!!(PS4 and Xbox One) Be advised, the THX function does not work for consoles. It is only for PC users. So if you were like me and were debating between these and the Pro v2’s, just get the v2’s. Other than that, these headphones are great. They almost sound as good as my Denon AHD2000 hi fi headphones. Highly recommend for those not needing wireless or 7.1

Because I’m usually listening to music on my phone when I’m out-and-about, I have a ton of earbuds, so this is the first set of headphones I’ve ever owned, and I can’t compare against other headphones, but I love these. I wanted to get one for my computer because I stay up late to work and need my music or movies and don’t want to wake my family.

You do have to use the USB audio controller to get spatial audio by THX (where available). Otherwise , the 3.5mm jack directly inline is only going to give you stereo, so you wouldn’t get 360 audio plugging this into your phone, for example. I don’t think the spatial audio works on gaming consoles, just on your PC.

Again, as I haven’t owned any other headsets, I don’t know how standard the comfort might be, but these are super comfortable. The ear cushions I’ve tried out a bunch in stores don’t fit my ears, and I don’t think I have large ears. I wasn’t sure about these since they’re round (usually oval ear cushions fit better), but they completely cover my ears. I’ve tried previous Krakens in store that didn’t fit me for some reason, so perhaps they changed something with the size of the cups here, not sure. I wear glasses, and the “clamp” of the headphone aren’t too tight, so I don’t feel the arms of my glasses pinching me. They are snug enough for desktop use, not enough for street use if you’re gonna be dancing wearing these or headbanging as they will slide forward or backward with moderate head tilt.

The ear cushions do feel cool over extended use. I usually wear these for about 3-4 hours at night, and I don’t collect any sweat on them. The leatherette is super smooth and feels luxurious.

They are not noise canceling or noise blocking. As stated above, they don’t fit so tightly that you can’t hear your environment when there’s no audio, but with a little bit of audio, any noise in your environment is easily drowned out.

I like the convenient manual volume control on the cord so that I don’t have to keep adjusting volume on my computer for different applications or different media. I’m not a gamer, so I usually leave my mic off (again, convenient integrated off switch), but it’s nice for teleconferencing with work.

Nope, these don’t light up like other Razer products.

You can adjust the sensitivity of noise from the mic in the Razer Synapse 3 Configuration Tool, so you can tune out the keyboard clicking if desired. You can set audio equalizer, adjust mic volume, sensitivity, normalize volume, reduce ambient noise, clarify voice, etc.

I bought this for my 19 year old boyfriend, and as he is a gamer boy he loves playing games a lot on his xbox so I bought them for him and he has not put them down since I first gave him them! The sound quality he said is very good it’s as if your in the characters shoes which also is great for cod when you want to hear out for footsteps behind you or near you haha. However when he has them on depending on what volume you put them on, you will be able to hear it all very clear. I make sure he’s not always on them haha.

This is the first good gaming headset ive bought, the first were sum cheap $25 turtle beach headsets from gamestop, returned those the next day. Then i used my apple earphones until i did enough research and found these. I play call of duty black ops4 and other C.O.D games and its vital to have a good headset, you can hear foot steps directionally from where theyre coming from. Its really a must have for playing the game to your best potential. My K/D went up and overall all experience of the game feels brand new, i had the game 3 months before buying my headset and its a new experience. I recommend spending atleast $100 bux on a good headset and this is the one to get. It has a retractable mic and very good quality, i bought 2 and gave my homie one for christmas and his voice sounds the same in person as it does on the mic, its not high pitched or dry nasal sounding. I get startled everytime i get shot unexpectedly because the quality of sound depth is so good. If your shooting close quarters itll sound loud and if theres shooting in the distance youll be able to hear it just enough and locate it directionally. Also the headset looks pretty hard its all black, and they have cooling gel ear cup cushions that actually feel cool to the touch and very comfortable. The headset is overall very comfortable and has a volume and mute on the headset cord, havent used the THX spatial sound mode but i cant imagine the sound quality getting better honestly. You wont regret getting this headset guarenteed

Came in today and was excited to use it. Says its compatible with xbox one but fail to tell you that you need an adapter to play it. Thought it was the one that connected directly to the xbox one.according to the description. So if you get this model you’ll have to buy the $50 adapter and lose sound quality.

Feel mislead. Can’t use it. $125 now nearly $200 if I get the adapter. Should have just went to walmart.
