This head set is always on sale. Just make that the regular price already. Well it feels high end specially the sound. Keep in mind you need to software installed and toggling the surround sound option along with the game supporting it. Other wise just a reg good sounded headset.

Really high quality headset, the materials feel a bit heavy although I personally prefer it. Comfortable to wear for those long gaming sessions, the audio is really good and you don't need to max out the volume to get a real use of these. I usually have my volume around 20/100 to 36/100 most days and I can perfectly hear footsteps in shooters like Warzone. The RGB is a really nice touch and the microphone is above average. I got this on sale for $105, well worth your money. Oh yeah and the cable is a decent length so VR play is possible.

Kraken headset review

These Pc headset are very nice for hearing everything in a game, but for speaking they could be a bit more clear. They’re highly comfortable and easy to use. At first my voice couldn’t be heard cuz I hadn’t set up the kraken app for them. After the app installation my mic was a lot louder and was able to customize the RgB light on the headset to go with my pc. Definitely recommend them specially cuz the price was good.

Using on PC, mainly for Discord. After struggling for years with Corsair and SteelSeries giving issues with microphone quality or audio going out within the year, these are the best headphones I've had. Microphone style gave me issues with SteelSeries but has not repeated here. Love the pinch to mute feature with the red light, much easier to see/remember than a rear button toggle.

Really nice headphones with great sound quality and a very clear microphone. Also really comfortable to wear for extended periods. Razor software is relatively easy to use but seems to have some minor issues on occasion. Full price on these is a steep premium, but I got them on sale and they definitely have been worth it.

They’re comfortable, sound pretty good, the mic isn’t great, but I guess you go for sound quality over mic quality. I’ve had it for 9 months and my mic isn’t working anymore. I plan to hopefully get a replacement, but yeah I guess be careful of the mic going out on you.

I bought these for work. I listen to music while I do chat. I, also, needed the mic for when I needed to make calls. The app set up was nice. The audio is incredible. It has a long cord which gives me room to move around.

Looks/Feels great but Sound is lacking. Overpriced

I bought these on Black Friday for about $74 after tax and such, which was almost half of the MSRP. Even at that price I feel like I'm still getting ripped off on the sound quality. It works well for games and movies but for music the sound comes out muffled with a lot of mids to highs falling flat and sounding dull.
The mic is pretty good, no complaints there. Razer Synapse actually becomes useful and necessary when you have this headset, as all the configurations and equalizer can be found in Synapse, so that's pretty neat.
The RGB is a nice touch. It's bright and fairly customizable.
The comfort on these things are actually great. They even fit nicely for people who wear glasses too, so that's another plus.
Do keep in mind that this headset does NOT use a 3.5mm audio jack, but rather a USB-A jack. Meaning you won't be able to use it it for anything besides a PC, haven't tested on any consoles.
All in all this headset would probably be really popular if it wasn't so overpriced. If you can manage to find them for a good deal, then they might be worth spending on. Otherwise, keep looking

Great sound quality, the drivers and the THX special system blows my mind. And they are the most durable set of headphones ever, set on the headband and just blended it back into place and it was good as new! I knew ones have come out but if you don’t want to pay $200 these are worth the $90

These have great sound quality. I purchased these specifically to play warzone and first-person shooters online. I am able to hear a lot better than with my previous set from another name brand. There are several settings that allow you to perfect how you want it to sound.

It’s a decent headset. I upgraded to the blackshark V2 Pro and the battery life could be better but the mic and latency make up for it. Great headset. I also just got the starfield headset for my console so I have one for my tv and Xbox and one for my PC this is a backup for my PC if my blacksharks die

Overall sound is solid. Fit is comfortable, slightly heavy after long gaming sessions.
Only reason I have given 4 stars is because they stopped game sound a couple times. Just had to reset and no issue since.
Price is a little on high side when you could get steel series at a better price point but overall happy with purchase.
