    Great for music, mixed feelings on games

    The Kraken V4 Pro comes with the mixer, a USB-A to USB-C, USB-C to USB-C, and a 3.5mm to USB-C cable. It uses Synapse 4 to operate and change its settings. The headset sounds great out of the box when it comes to music. I feel the haptics really enhances a lot of songs that aren't technically bass heavy, such as old classics from the 30s-60s. Anything with a distinct instrument, you'll be able to feel them as if it was being played next to you. The best way for me to explain this this would be with the song "It's Not Unusual", it feels like there's clapping behind you. It was a lot of fun listening to music while I had the headset and giving a listen to my large library of songs, getting a new experience from them. The headset itself is very comfortable, I could easily wear it for hours at a time. No complaints there. What I found to be a real issue was the absolutely poor mic quality. The V4 Pro uses the same poorly received mic as the base V4 Kraken, and there's a lack of actual tuning as there's only 3 pre-set modes for the mic to use (broadcast, micboost, and live conference) and they all sound terrible. This is an absurd move by Razer when they're charging $400 for a headset. At this price range, everything should be at least above average, if not premium. Especially when they have the capability of making a good gaming microphone headset (seen in the Blackshark V2), but they've opted to cheap out on a $400 headset. As for the main focus of the headset, the haptics in gaming. I found that if its not on the small list of games that are pre-tuned by Razer, it can be a huge nuisance to tune the haptic settings per game yourself as it's unlikely you'll get good haptic settings ranges carrying between game genres. My personal experience is tweaking my haptic settings for 30min while playing GoW:R, then trying to play Deadlock later that night and spending another 30min tweaking it since every bullet fired sounded atrocious with absurd haptics. My personal opinion on the product is that if you play with groups of friends often on multiplayer or many genres of games, it's not worth it. I've had multiple scenarios where it was difficult for my friends to make out what I was saying at times with this microphone. Unless you get a separate microphone (which is crazy since you're already spending $400 on the product) and have a small library of games that's your focus (like FPS mains), the headset will be a huge hassle working tweaking settings every single time you try a new game.

    Great Sound & Haptics, But Comfort & Mic Limited

    Positives: -Great Sound Quality: Right out of the box, it delivers solid audio performance, which is ideal for gaming and music. -Haptic Feedback: This feature makes the experience more immersive, adding another layer to gameplay and music listening. Very customizable. -Good Microphone Quality: While the quality is generally good, it lacks consistency based on different recordings. - -Smooth Bluetooth/Wireless Functionality: The simultaneous connection works well, except for calls when sidetone is enabled. Negatives: -Ear Comfort Issues: The ear cups may be uncomfortable for those with larger ears, causing pain after about 30 minutes of use. -Limited Microphone Customization: The microphone equalizer on the Razer Synapse 4 software has only three presets and no detailed customization options. -Poor Sidetone Quality: Sidetone volume is decent, but the audio quality is robotic or static, which is especially problematic during phone calls. -Echo Issues with Sidetone: During phone calls with sidetone enabled, there’s echo, and the person on the call may be hard to hear clearly, requiring you to turn down or disable sidetone. Conclusion: If you don’t rely on sidetone and have smaller ears, this headset seems like a great choice for immersive audio. However, the comfort and microphone issues could be dealbreakers for some users, especially for those with larger ears or who need advanced mic settings.

    Amazing headset, Money hungry Price.

    If anyone remembers the problems the V3 Pro had ( like not showing up in synapse or not even working at all) the V4 pro seems to have fixed them. the price is defiantly high for this headset but overall this headset is extremely good, and has some really neat features, the adapter it comes with is a little tricky at first but very easy to mess with after tampering with. ( i recommend using synapse 4 instead of the box unless you are editing or recording, but it is handy to change settings without opening the software.) only draw back is the haptics can give your brain a shock if they are to high and after a while if you wear glasses the earcups can become somewhat uncomfortable. Other than that Sound quality is amazing and has lots of customizable options
