Best Headset By Razer
I have been using Razer products ever since I began my gaming journey and this is hands down the best headset razer has made, for me anyway. Two things that I ABSOLUTELY love above this headset are the cloth earcups and retracting mic. Those were why I bought it, and what I mainly saw from ads. But what I truly enjoyed to my surprise was the subtle lighting effects, sound quality, and extensive battery performance. Still using it and I plan on using it for a long my time.

Good Headset, But Missing Key Features
If you can still find an older Razer Nari model, get that instead. The Kraken V4 isn’t a bad headset, but it removes almost all the quality-of-life features that made the previous generations great. The included base station is a nice idea, but realistically it doesn’t add much to the experience. In fact, several design choices take major steps backward. Previously, you could control both game and chat volume directly from the headset itself — a huge convenience. On the Kraken V4, the headset dial only adjusts game volume, and you must use the Synapse software to balance chat vs. game audio. That’s a downgrade in everyday usability. The docking base has PC, Console, and AUX inputs, but the PC and Console ports function the same, and none of them can be used simultaneously. Bluetooth is present, but surprisingly limited: it can only play external audio like music, not game audio, so it adds little value for gaming. The biggest disappointment is the removal of the 3.5mm analog jack on the headset. On older Nari models, if the USB dongle or wireless connection ever failed (which happened to me more than once), you could simply plug in a cable and keep using the headset. With the Kraken V4, the AUX port only works when routed through the wireless base — the headset itself cannot be used as a traditional wired headset anymore. That’s a massive loss in flexibility and longevity. Overall, the build and comfort are solid, and the sound quality is good — but the feature regression is hard to ignore. I genuinely wish I could have found a Nari Pro or any of the older Razer models with the full suite of pro features.

Great Cabled Headphones
Very comfortable and great sound. I prefer the cabled version to the wireless, just because I tend to use the headphones sporadically. But Windows 11 seems to forget about hem occasionally, requiring a unplug-replug sequence.
