    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 July 2024
    Style Name: Kraken V3 ProColour Name: BlackVerified Purchase
    To be clear, this is the second time I buy this headset, my first pair (purchased 2.5 years ago) started having a few issues (dongle stopped working, volume rocker became finicky, structural crack due to me stupidly sitting on them once). They still sounded amazing but I figured it was worth it to get a second pair.

    Pros:

    - Comfort - The most comfortable headset I have ever used and it isn't even close. There is no compromise here, these are beefy cans with very deep ear cups. As an owner of big ears, I'm very particular about this detail; anything too shallow will produce a burning sensation on my ear lobes after about 20 minutes of wear. Not only are the ear cups deep, the materials used are stellar; faux leather cups with a velvet contact point (where the cup meets the ear), additionally covering the driver itself is another memory foam layer ensuring even more comfort. The headband is plush and well constructed with just enough clamping force to keep them relatively stable while not inducing headaches.

    - Sound - Fantastic sound profile. I'm not an audiophile by any stretch, but I absolutely love the clarity at every frequency range (probably due to the tri-force driver system). Out of the box I felt the sound felt slightly flat for my liking, after about a minute of EQ modification in Synapse (the companion app) they sounded perfect. Beefy punchy bass (without too much rumble), slightly scooped mids and clear crispy highs.

    - Haptics - Implementation is fantastic. They respond accurately to a set low-end frequency range and the effect is very pleasing. Whereas the Razer Nari Ultimates (predecessors with haptics) were slightly hit-and-miss in this regard, the Krakens are incredible. When listening to EDM, the experience becomes much more immersive as you actually sense the vibrations on your temples/cheeks. I have mine on the "Low" setting as that is more than enough stimulus and doesn't add too much rumble to the mix. During gaming sessions, sensing heavy footsteps and being able to geo-locate enemy players is also a huge advantage.

    - Build Quality/Looks/RGB - Subjective of course, I do like the "chunky" look however, they are also very well built (a mixture of metal and high-end plastic). The implementation of RGB is gorgeous, can be set to a cycling, breathing or static colour mode in the Synapse chroma app.

    - Battery Life - Decent, especially considering the usage of haptics. I don't feel I'm getting the advertised time, however a good 9 hours is still pretty great considering haptics being on, perhaps around 30 hours if no haptics are used.

    - Wireless Audio/Wireless Range/Latency - The wireless audio definitely doesn't feel as if it's a compromise; I've tried it both wireless and with the 3.5mm audio cable and am hard-pressed to notice any difference. As for the range, nothing too crazy, I do feel I can go downstairs and get something from my kitchen while my laptop stays upstairs without much trouble which is always nice. There is no noticeable latency to speak of. Everything (especially during gaming) is instantaneous and behaves as if wired.

    Cons:

    - No Bluetooth connectivity - The ability to connect and seamlessly switch back and forth between gadgets is missing here, would have been a nice-to-have.

    - Mic - Average, not bad and not great either. I've tried the Razer Blackshark v2 Pro (2023 edition) and that was by far and large the best in-built headset mic I've ever used. I returned them as the aforementioned ear-cups were simply not deep enough and made the headset uncomfortable for me.

    - Haptics can't be used while charging - This is a small gripe, but a gripe nonetheless.

    I wouldn't have bought these a second time if I didn't think they were fantastic, and at 149gbp, they are offering a whole lot for the money. Fantastic and clear sound, immersive and very-well implemented haptics and they're ridiculously comfortable. Very hard to go wrong here.

    This headset came in a surprisingly top quality packaging, which was a great start, and then the headset itself was also good quality. For the low price, the headset is extremely comfortable, not causing any issues at all. The sound is good and helps when playing first person shooters especially. My mates have said I sound crisp down the mic and it requires not set up. Highly recommend for a gamer that is casual but plays a lot.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 July 2021
    Style Name: Kraken V3 XColour Name: BlackVerified Purchase
    Overall, the Razer Kraken V3 X headset is impressive.

    Sound:
    The 7.1 surround sound (software required) is a great step up from my previous headset, a £15 headset that was unremarkable and lacking. I was quite frankly surprised at how easy it was in games to make out where sounds were coming from (Valorant, GTAV, CSGO to name a few) in relation to where my character was positioned.

    One area where the audio is less impressive is music. The low frequencies sound a little muddy, and the highs lack structure, in comparison to my other headphones (Sony WH-H910N). I am not hugely disappointed by this, as the headset is not advertised to have studio-quality sound for music.

    Build/Ergonomics:
    The headset is comfortable, with the ear cups sitting around my ears rather well. the headband is soft and forgiving, allowing for longer gaming periods. The build quality isn't excellent however. The frame of the headphones are entirely plastic, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but the size adjusters on the sides lack a smoothness in movement. I am not really one to rage at games, but if you find yourself the type to be destructive when succumbing to a poor game mechanic (because it is always the game's fault) I would recommend you do not take your anger out on your Razer Kraken V3 X headset.
    The input USB wire for the headset does seem to kink without great difficulty, but it does feel sturdy enough for day-to-day use.

    Mic:
    The mic quality seems to be good, with my friends noticing an improvement over my old headset in a Discord call (the headset being Discord Certified). Sure, it won't transmit your voice as well as a £500 studio microphone, but for an all-in one package it does the job.

    In conclusion, the Kraken V3 X is a solid headset for £70, even more so for the £40 I acquired it for in an Amazon sale

    When we opened the box we were already impressed because the packaging is perfect. Headphones are nestled and protected by solid foam. Taking then out and putting them on even without plugging them in was like wrapping a warm sound proof cloud around my ears. They really do block out all the sound. When I finally got to gaming it took the experience to a whole new level. I feel like I am truly inside the game with no chance of being brought back to reality by screaming siblings. Only downside is that I can't hear the dinner call. A definite must buy.

    The Razer Kraken Ultimate – USB Gaming Headset I purchased worked well. But I’m having an issue with the mic boom. The people I play online with say that I break up. Not sure what’s causing it?
    Might be the reason why this headset was returned?
    Also, the light on the end of the mic boom is supposed light up red, mine does occasionally??
    The sound is great on my end, and listening to music is clean and clear.
    Nice bass and clear treble.

    Now for the bad stuff.
    DO NOT PURCHASE AN OPEN BOX ITEM FROM AMAZON!!!
    The package I received looked like it had been dragged by a really anger Ox
    Down the amazon and then thrown into a shipping box!
    See the attached pictures.
    I’ve learned my lesson.
    I can recommend The Razer Kraken Ultimate – USB Gaming Headset,
    BUT do yourself a favor, spend a few extra bucks and buy new!
    I wish I had.
