Great Headset for the Price (Black Friday)
I only had to pay $49.99 for this headset which is an absolute steal for what you get. I would definitely recommend this headset for the price I paid for it. I'm really glad I waited until Black Friday to purchase this headset. The deal started on Thursday (11/22) and ended on Monday (11/26) at midnight. The shipping said it would come on the 3rd of December, however I received it 6 days earlier which made me happy! Pros: -Great Bass (even allows you to enable bass boost using Razer Synapse software) -RGB Lighting on the sides, allows cycling, breathing, and static color -Big 50mm earcups! -Very comfortable headphones -Only requires USB cable to be plugged in (don't need to plug in any green or pink cables) -Retractable Microphone, comes in handy since I just use my Blue Snowball so I can easily hide the microphone -Headphones look very gamer-like Cons: -no physical mute button for the microphone -can't manually adjust the volume from the headset. -doesn't work on Xbox One (However I don't care much about this)

Wonderful Headset
I absolutely loved these headphones, the amount of customization you can do on the Razer Synapse app really does let you customize the sound however you’d like. I really recommend these to anyone who’s looking for a good headset for a decent price. I don’t usually do reviews, but felt like these deserved an honest review based on their performance. Crisp audio, can’t go wrong with them.

My favorite pair
I either own or tried every major headset out there including a studio headphone + mixer mic setup. These Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 are very comfortable and are a great mix between sound quality and mic quality. Out of the box they don't sound all that great but mess with the EQ settings and they really start to shine. The mic sounds great and gives a whole lot of control over the settings, it's amazing what they can do with that little mic. It'll pick up plosives and is a little sensitive to sibilance but it isn't terrible. For me I have a hard time wearing headphones, I tend to speak really loud, so I need to have sidetones. With sidetones on I don't hear any background hissing which no other headphone I've been able to find (other than using a dedicated mic + mixer) can do. As far as comfort, they are very comfortable. I've used them up to 5 at one sitting and I didn't have any clamping pressure and didn't have any sweat on the ear cups when I took them off. They seem very durable but only time will tell. Things I wish they could change would be the location of the the mic mute switch (you always hear when you mute it), and add in a 3.5mm audio cable so you can listen to it with other devises and make the USB cord removable (like what every other headset company is doing).

Great wired gaming headset!
My son has and love this wired gaming headset. It's a very comfortable headset, causing no tenderness or headaches from prolonged usage. The microphone works well, although there is occasional minor issues. There has been no issue with latency. The unit is well made and has held up perfectly since the time of our purchase, which was well over a year now. The microphone can be stowed away when not needed. This headset is used primarily for gaming and was preferred to a more expensive, wireless headset. Age of gamer is between 21-25, male. It is used a LOT. The wire is soft and cloth like, if you are leaving this headset plugged in continuously you may experience issues with the cable coiling. If you are rough with your headsets, then I recommend purchasing the Best Buy 2 year accidental replacement plan as you may have cord issues.
