Great headsets!
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5These headsets are great. The mic is good and very comfy. When using the mic suppression, you absolutely have to have the mic opening in front of your mouth. If it's slightly looking downward or upward, it can cause your voice breaking in and out. It sounds great even without suppression and don't hear much background noise if any. The only thing about the headset, you can't change which side the mic is on. I can't see out of my left eye, so I can't actually see if the mic is muted or not. That would be the only bad thing I have to say. No problems with comp program, mic, or headset In general. :)

Love this headset
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Design, Gameplay, MicrophoneGot compliments on the mic from a few people I play the division 2 with. Sound is great. You can tell what direction sounds are coming from. Making it alot easier to find enemies when you play fps games. Lighting looks great, ear muffs are nice and cool. These do not noise cancel well. You will still hear your clicks on mechanical keyboards unless you turn the volume up a bit.. That's my only con for this headset.

Great set of cans
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Microphone, Price, Sound qualityThe only reason its not 5 stars is because they dont have a wireless version for this line. Aside from that the surround sound it pretty good, they are very comfortable for prolonged use. The mic is really decent with a bunch of nice features like noise canceling. As for music they are amazing this is where they really shine for me, several EQ's with the ability to customize to your liking and the bass is sweet, clean but deep makes my eardrums rattle which is just was I was looking for. A great set of cans for a reasonable price. If only they had a wireless version and no I dont like the nari's

The best of the best!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Microphone, Price, Sound qualityI have had the Razer Kraken Ultimate for a few weeks now. And I have already had many better experiences with this headset than others in the past. It’s sound quality is outstanding and the money you have to pay for this is all worth it. It’s microphone was instantly hooked up to my computer and I had to change the audio from my computer speakers to my Kraken Ultimate, so it’s a very simple set up. Not only is the mic easy to set up but it has a great noise-cancellation setting and you can boost its gain in Razer Synapse. And what makes it even better is the fact that you can apply any effect of lighting you wish on the headset itself. I personally use wave and fire effects for my razer set up. Besides that, it’s overall a great headset and it’s all worth it!

No problems!
|Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Microphone, Sound qualityI had no issues with the headset! I always prefer wired headsets/headphones so I don't have to worry about charging, connection, or losing them. The regular and THX surround sound both work wonderful. The mic is so crisp, you always sound clear when talking to others. So glad I got these!

great buy for a pc only headset
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I bought this headset on-sale for around 90-something $, and I'm really happy with my purchase. The bass is pretty insane, you can feel your skull shake with a loud enough sound. The surround sound feature was a bit awkward at first, but I've gotten used to it, although it doesn't really sound like 8 speakers. It is extremely comfortable, but the sides can get pretty warm from the LEDs, overall, a really good headset! Only drawback is the fact that it's pc only and connects via USB.

Quality Headset
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Very comfortable and light. Volume adjuster on the left side is very useful and convenient. The mic being able to move in and out is a great touch and keeps it out of the way. The RGB on the sides is a nice touch and works great with razer synapse. The cable is well made and seems like it will last, also the surround sound capability is really well done. Good for music, games, and video.

Q: QuestionAre these good for conference calls or zoom meetings?
Asked by kaminari.
- A:Answer They might be, but it depends on the image you’re going for. They could be a bit bulky for office work, but the mic and sound quality are stellar. A slam dunk if you aren’t using video for sure.

Q: QuestionWhat's the difference between the Razer Kraken Ultimate Headphones and the Razer Nari Ultimate Headphones? Which ones would you recommend?
Asked by Mac.
- A:Answer Razer Nari ultimate has a haptic feedback unit inside of them adding vibrations and more immersion to your gameplay however, a lot of users have problems with the haptic feedback trashing the Audi quality. The Nari ultimate is also wireless. The kraken ultimate is wired and has a surround sound program and excellent sound quality making you feel like your on the front lines of ear. I would recommend the Kraken ultimate any day.
