Customer Ratings & Reviews

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)

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.

It's been seven months since I got this headset and I love it so much I sleep in it.

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).

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.

Thanks to the greatness of Black Friday, I was able to acquire this headset for $50, plus five bucks for the geek squad warranty as it seems that every set of headphones that I have ever owned eventually succumb to the toil of playing sound and eventually refuse to do so. Therefore, it would appear to be a good investment, anyhow, to the task at hand. I like this headset. I'm not a gamer perse, I use the headset for flight simulation, to speak to the tower and such. I also use it for the general tasks of Netflix, Youtube, and to play music. It works great for all those things. I especially love the nifty way in which the microphone tucks right into the headphone itself, making the headset look less like a gaming headset, the all-black look really helps in this respect. Plus, the Razer branding is minimal, the snake logo lights up in any color you wish, but I haven't played with that yet as the default colors (alternating shades of green) seem perfect. The unit connects to the computer or gaming console via a USB cable, it's the braided type, seems good enough. The headset is a tad heavy on the head but it's not bad. It's metal and feels sturdy, I prefer it to the cheap lightweight plastic ones. Now onto the negatives. First, the cable is a bit too short. I enjoy having enough length to move around my room without having to take off my headset everytime I want to open a window. Yeah, I could go wireless, but why? It feels wrong to have signals jammed so close to my mainframe for hours on end. I'll just end up buying a USB extension to solve this problem. Second, the cable is not only short, but it lacks any volume control or mic mute control. A volume control would help because these headphones can get very loud, which is a plus. I love that these headphones give me the ability to fry my ears if I want to, I hate when you get a pair of headphones, crank the volume up, and you go, is that all? Lol...not with these, big plus. But alas, it will require you to control the volume often, I can't really play these at 100% as I often do with other headsets. Lastly, the mic is on the left side, as it should be, but the dang cable also comes out of the left side, and unless your computer is also on the left side of your desk, you'll have the cable going across your lap which is cumbersome. But what do I know, maybe most people do in fact place their computers on the left side of the desk. Regardless, this is a great gaming set, would totally recommend it, especially at the price point of $50-$75 dollars. Good stuff.

Bought for 12yr old son for Christmas. Replacing ols2r turtlebeach headset. Plug amd play no issues. He tells me he can hear more sounds than he did on the old headphones. The mic boom can extend and retract.

Needed a new headset for my gaming PC and got this one on sale, great sound, great comfort, just a good all around headset for my needs.

I bought both logitech g430 and this. I returned logitech. The sound quality of g430 is slightly better than this one. But the G430 is like a mini speaker and very uncomfortable(too tight), quality is not good either. This one very comfortable to wear. the sound is great for gaming, but due to lack of base, it might not be good for pop music. I love the RGB lightning. and overall quality. Take one star off for lacking of base.

I love the sound and most importantly the fit of the headphones. The only complaint I have it that there is not an individual volume control. Coming from Corsair headsets and giving the Razer ones a try, this is the most inconvenient item on the headset. While it does not affect the overall sound, sometimes you simply want to turn down the volume without alt tabbing out of your game to adjust the volume.

Excellent features, detractable and mutable mic is perfect. good sound. not problems with mic at all. comfortable to use for many hours, not too heavy or tight. I'm no audiophile so I don't know about the quality of the 7.1 audio but it overall sounds good, directional audio works for FPSs etc. It also looks nice.

When I put on the headphones my first thought was how much sound they block out. With them on, I can't hear my fish tank or air purifier except when at low volume and right next to said noisemaker. On the subject of volume, the speakers have a ton of volume to them, and sound really good to me. Comfortable listening on my MacBook (and yes they are plug and play there as well) was literally one bar from the bottom. All the way up, they almost match my MacBook's speakers (Jesus Christ they get loud) and when they do they still sound good. Razor Synapse is excellent, working on both my MacBook and my gaming desktop (which I bought these primarily for). LEDs on the side are a bit dim but perfectly adequate since you can't really see them anyway with them on. I suppose if I had to change anything, it'd be the mic switch, or button. It's designed in a way that means it's very easy to toggle it on when you pull out the mic. It's easy to turn off again, just slightly annoying. In all, solid headphones and definitely worth $80.

I personally love Razer products and this gaming headset has been added to my favorite inventory. It has great sound quality and real comfortable ear cushion that perfectly cover my ears. The mic is also extandable and retractable with mute/unmute button on the mic itself. Totally liked it!!!

I am a regular Razer customer but these headphones are the first time I've purchased any sound hardware from them. They sound great and the microphone is accurate. I really like them!

Overall these are really well made, easy to use, comfortable, and sound incredible. The pop out mic is really good but can be a bit distracting when muted due to an LED on the end.

Picked these up for my new gaming PC. Good sound and the mic does not have to be extended to be heard. I do wish the cord was a few feet longer but other than that, they seem great.

Very comfortable when I wear glasses and the overall Bass is great for gameplay. Very good for a $100 headset. The RGB lighting is a plus but didn't care much about it.

A great headset. Good sound quality, comfortable over time wear, and the chroma is a nice touch. The only reason I did not give it a 5 is because it does not have volume adjustment on the headset itself.

I teach virtual classes online and get through a new audio conferencing type headset every 6 months as they are typically flimsy and generally uncomfortable to wear 8 hours a day. When my last one broke I thought I’d spend a little more and try a gamer headset, they are designed to be punished by teenagers.... so I’ll try. Have had mine a while, are so comfortable I forget I’m wearing them at times, the quality is high, and so far show no signs of wearing out.

They are so comfortable. Sound is almost like your right there in the game the mic is mutable and does not get in the way.
