Razer Kraken V3 X Wired USB Gaming Headset: Lightweight Build - Triforce 40mm Drivers - HyperClear Cardioid Mic - 7.1 Surround Sound - Chroma RGB Lighting - Black

Backstory, I was looking for a new gaming headset, and I went with the very highly reviewed hyperx cloud alpha S, and hated it. I decided to try this one out because I’ve always enjoyed razer products, even if there are a few bad reviews.This headset blows the HyperX out of the water. Better sound, way better comfort, clearer mic, and the hyper sense haptic thing is game changing.Pros:-excellent sound quality-Very comfortable. Ear cups don’t press on jaw like the HyperX, padding is thicker and more resilient feeling.-Noise cancelling is just right. Little things don’t break immersion, but if someone falls down the stairs or the house catches fire, you’ll hear it.-mic is very clear. The synapse tests and peer reviews tell me this is the clearest mic I’ve used, plus it has separate adjustable thresholds for volume, background noise filtering, and voice clarification-Hyper Sense Haptics…. I think this was mostly for People playing FPS games, makes gunfire and such “feel” more real, but as someone who always has Spotify up while gaming, I Love the simulated base this adds in on low/medium settings. You could never get base like that from speakers that strap to your head, but the haptics can emulate having a nice sub nearby. Very nice touch.-RGB is a tasteful accent, not garish. I also like that I can set which colors I want in my spectrum for various patterns. Setting this to just the shades of blue and green is very nice, and matches the Corsair RGB on my desk/towerCons:-No mute light on mic. This is a nice feature most brands have and I’ve gotten used to. Nice visible indicator that I have my mic muted to prevent embarrassing over sharing.-Thx surround feature sounds bad. I’m sure it’s great for FPS players that are willing to sacrifice sound quality to have better directional sense, but I’m not a FPS player so it’s not worth the drop in quality. This one isn’t really a detriment, it’s just a feature I don’t use. Sound quality with THX left off is phenomenal.Overall I’m super excited about this one. This is the best headset I’ve had in my 15+ years of gaming headset usage. Highly recommended.

Pros:LightweightGreat colors, love the RGBZero lag, crisp soundMids are clear, bass is averageGood for stereo/surroundComfortable, with good passive sound reductionWait and see's:Padded head strap may depress over time. With daily use over a month, it has held up fine, but I use these HEAVILY.Cons:Takes up a USB port, but if you're looking at these, I hope you've factored that in already.

These cans offer a good sound quality for playing games. And that is what I use them for. They don't have stupendous bass. That's fine for me because I'm not listening to music. I want to hear what's going on in the game and these deliver. The microphone seems to work well. I ask the people I'm talking to how well they hear me. I've had issues in the past with other sets that pop in and out. The mic is easily moved to where you want it and you can even unplug it if you wish. As to the LED components, I'm not a real big fan of RGB lighting but these are attractive. Some day, I'll have to download the software so I can set the color.

A little overpriced maybe, but honestly, pretty great quality. Sound is decent enough and the material is pretty durable. Im pretty confidant recommending these.

In the past, I had made an impulsive purchase of these headphones several years ago when I was working from home. Due to extensive usage, the head strap component began to show signs of cracking. Consequently, I decided to order a replacement and received the updated version. However, after a brief trial period of a few days, I returned them in favor of the original model. These headphones consistently deliver exceptional quality and noise cancellation, which are crucial for my uninterrupted performance in the demanding field of phone sales.
