Customer Ratings & Reviews

Comfortable to wear. I have a bigger head and ears and these fit right over my ears without constricting or pinching. Sound quality is amazing with an adjustable volume nob on the side. Mic is clear and communicates very well.

I've been using this gaming headset for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly impressed. The sound quality is amazing – crisp highs, deep bass, and excellent surround effect, which really enhances my gameplay, especially in FPS games. I can hear every footstep and distant gunshot with precision. The microphone is also crystal clear. My teammates say my voice sounds much better than with my old headset. It does a great job blocking out background noise too. Comfort-wise, this headset is top-tier. The ear cushions are soft and breathable, and the adjustable headband fits perfectly without feeling too tight. I’ve worn it for 4–5 hour sessions with no discomfort at all. Build quality feels solid and durable. The RGB lighting is a nice touch, not too flashy, but stylish enough to complement my setup. Overall, this is a fantastic headset for the price. Whether you’re a casual gamer or someone who plays every day, I highly recommend it.

The Razer BlackShark V2 X is a fantastic wired gaming headset. The sound quality is clear and immersive, with strong bass and crisp highs that make games, movies, and music all sound great. The cardioid microphone picks up my voice clearly and cuts down background noise, which is perfect for in-game chat and calls. It’s surprisingly lightweight and very comfortable, even during long gaming sessions. The memory foam ear cushions do a great job at blocking out external noise without making my ears feel hot. Compatibility is excellent—it works across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch without any setup hassle. Just plug it in and it’s ready to go. Overall, this headset delivers excellent performance for the price. If you want great audio, comfort, and a reliable mic in a simple wired setup, the BlackShark V2 X is a great choice.

They're nice. They feel light on the head and cover my (smaller) ears comfortably. They have a good feel and when paired with the software on PC, they sound great! The ear cups insulate really well and there's very little bleed out into the room. I happen to really like the volume knob on the side of the headset - no searching for buttons or hitting the wrong one on accident. However... and this may just be a "me" problem, but when they're plugged into my phone or tablet with the 3.5mm connection they're not the loudest. They're pretty quiet for this price range. In fact, I just checked them on PC and phone playing the same Youtube video on both. The PC topped them out at 90 dB, while the phone was just 60 dB. To verify just how much effect the phone was having, I tried the headset these are replacing and the other set I have. Those were 70 and 75 dB on the phone and high 80's on PC. This tells me the software is giving these a significant boost - which is fine if all you will ever use them for is gaming. Unfortunately for me, these are also meant to replace the headphones I wear at night watching movies - which is over a 3.5mm jack. To be fair, these are marketed as gaming headphones - though I'm not sure how they sound on a console - my kids only left me the PS3. I'm giving 4 stars for the comfort and the great sound on PC. If they weren't as good as they are there, they'd go back. They just don't sound quite good enough or get quite loud enough (for me) to use as an everyday headset for my phone. For those who are unfamiliar with what a 10 dB difference sounds like, 60 is a loud electric toothbrush and 70 is freeway traffic. Also, listening to prolonged sounds above 70 dB is bad for your ears, kids!

Absolutely the greatest quality for a first microphone/headset. Everything connects flawlessly, sounds great, and is comfortable for it's price. I haven't had a single issue so far and I highly recommend this if you're looking for a budget friendly headset. I use it for calls and gaming, works amazing.

These headphones have everything you need. The on headphone mute button can throw you off in the beginning but you definitely get used to it if you’re a muted microphone headphone user. Speaking to teammates is very clear. Gameplay is excellent. My last pair of headphones fell apart within 6 months of use but these have lasted the test of time

Comfort is another strong point. The earcups are soft and breathable, and even long play sessions feel easy on the ears. I also like how lightweight the headset feels — I don’t feel weighed down after a few hours of gaming.

For a cheap pair of Razer headphones these are actually a really nice pair of headphones. The wire is thin and feels cheap but and you cant detach the mic but if you dont abuse them great pair of budget headset.

These are the best headphones I've ever bought in my life... I have thrown these headphones against a wall, I watched them blow apart. I pieced them back together and I still use them to this day. The mic quality is excellent, the spacial audio is excellent. They have great bass and are pretty comfortable too. You WILL NOT find a better headset, trust me... I'm an expert at breaking them and these things are still alive!

Given to my Granddaughter as a gift who is a avid gamer. Price was midgrade 60.00 so didn't break my bank. She's had them for awhile now and says the sound is amazing and the mic picks up great with clear voice. She loves that the headset is lightweight and ear pads very comfortable for long sessions. Her mother complains because they are so noise canceling she can't hear anything going on around her; I take that as a positive. Biggest positive I see is the durability. She's rough on stuff and these have held up beautifully. Definitely worth the money.

After purchasing the Xbox Series X, I dove into researching headsets to play with family across the country. The decision between wireless and wired was tough, but for the sake of mic quality and never having to worry about charging, this Kraken headset became the clear winner. I watched countless mic tests online to make sure I wouldn't sound like I was underwater – and I'm happy to say, the mic on this headset is fantastic. My friends hear me crystal clear, no issues whatsoever. As someone with a larger head and bigger ears, comfort is key, and these ear cuffs don’t disappoint. They fit perfectly, offer excellent noise cancellation, and produce beautiful, crisp sound. I’ve even started using them for my streaming setup since they allow me to easily monitor my mic levels. The handy volume knob on the side is another great touch, keeping me immersed in the game without having to mess with speaker adjustments. Plus, the mic tucks up neatly when I’m not using it, and unlike other headsets with non-detachable mics, it doesn't look bulky on camera. This is my second Kraken headset for Xbox, and I’m definitely sticking with this brand!

Clear sound not heavy at all. My son loves it. Great buy

Clear clean sound. Comfortable on the ear and extremely lightweight

Very nice headset. Has some of rhe best comfortablity ive had with an over ear headset. Also sound is great. Almost better bass then my $400 Beats. Quality for price is excellent. I was quite surprised. Only thing keeping this from a 5 star is no removable mic.

These headphones are pretty good! they have good sound and i prefer wired because wireless usually as some trouble connecting at times. When im playing games, others do say my mic is a little off which is why these headphones got one point off but that could also be an error on my part if i have to go into settings and fix it on their so don’t take my word for it! over all these look great, comfortable and affordable. you get what you pay for

Used for online gaming. Everyone says I come through clear and they do not hear background noise. These are also MUCH more comfortable than my previous headset.

I originally bought these headphones for online classes and video meetings, and they have been absolutely wonderful. The sound quality is excellent — clear, crisp, and perfect for both listening and speaking. The microphone picks up my voice really well, and the headset is very comfortable even after long hours of use. They feel lightweight, durable, and reliable. I highly recommend these not just for gaming, but also for remote work and online learning.

This headset delivers clear, immersive audio with deep bass and crisp highs. The microphone sounds clean for calls and gaming, while the comfortable ear cushions allow for long sessions without fatigue. Solid build quality and intuitive controls make it a reliable everyday choice.

Was thrilled to receive these headphones in time for Christmas. (Super fast shipping. Came within 2 days). My son loves the headphones.

Bought this around November of 2024 and can say it’s definitely worth purchasing I have used it constantly and have accidentally knocked off my desk or ran over the cable with my chair multiple times and it still works like new the sound is crisp and clear with just the right amount of bass
