Customer Ratings & Reviews

Had the first razer kraken then upgraded to the razer kraken v2 and now to these and love them. The wireless version had some issues with razer synapse but the wired ones are the way to go.

I have been using these for several months now and can say they are great. I keep the vibration setting on mid and they are working out great.

What a great product! Love the hypersense setting change button under the R ear, so immersive in gaming applications when turned all the way up

Good mid priced option. Wireless is just to finicky some times. Nothing beats a wired connection!

Pretty good headset. I love the vibrations that it produces. Makes it VERY IMMERSIVE.

Amazing headset! I would definitely recommend and get it as a present.

Outstanding value for the price. I don’t think I could of made a better choice at this price range

I bought this Headset for gaming and it has out performed every headset ive owned I am very happy I made this purchase

Bought as a gift. He loved them. Would totally buy again!

Pretty good but this headset is definitely on the heavier side and the “bass” doesn’t feel real at all sadly. You can tell it’s simulated and just feels like a controller vibrating on your head. Sound quality is also lacking for a $160 product, you shouldn’t even need to install and enable THX Spatial audio these days but razed refuses to just integrate it into their headsets

A great product with a value that is cheaper than its value. highly recommend

They were replacing a broken pair. I’m very happy with them

This Headset is Revolutionary, and a massive improvement over its predecessor

Bought this for my brother for Christmas and absolutely loved it

Son loves it the vibrations make explosions feel so real.

This is a very nice headset. I recommend this to everyone

Good quality if your not a pro gamer or online streamer. If you play as much as my fiancé does I would recommend spending the extra dollar purchasing a better headset and always purchase warranty

Quality is great. My son loves them the sound is better than any I’ve heard before.

In my old age, I have shifted my gaming sensibilities. I now care more about story than the latest graphics and I care more about comfort than sound quality. Fortunately, the Razor Kraken V3 is great for both comfort and sound quality. The new HyperSense system though is a bit weird and I turned it off after about a day of trying it out. Here are some detailed points about what I like, don't like, and am indifferent about, when it comes to these headphones. Like: 1. Comfortable: These are some of the most comfortable headphones I have now. I bought two other gaming headphones over the last month that were supposed to be the most comfortable, but they were not. These actually have the perfect amount of padding on both the headband as well as the ear cups. The headband is so good, it is even comfortable now that I no longer have any hair on top of my head for extra padding. My only wish would be for the ear cups to have some turning ability to them. If they had that, they would be THE most comfortable headset I have. I have become convinced that I need to go back to wired headsets because having the electronics and batteries in the headset just makes them too heavy and THAT is the prime reason why many headsets just aren't that comfortable any more. 2. Sound Quality: These things sound phenomenal and you can tune them easily through the Razor software. I did run into some problems with popping and other sound artifacts, but I think that is more of an issue with my gaming laptop than the headset. I was using a pair of my audiophile quality headphones with my laptop but they are so sensitive that they were picking up some of the interference from the other laptop components. I got an external sound card and that fixed everything because it put a layer of sound processing between the headphones and the computer. The Kraken V3s sound just as good and have the same 7.1 quality as the audiophile set with the 7.1 sound card, though without the separation of the headphones from the laptop, they are picking up on that interference. Like I said, this is more of an issue with the laptop and not the headphones. 3. Razer Software: The tuning software that you can download from Razor is spectacular in that it is intuitive and comprehensive. You can tune every little thing about these headphones from their sound quality, to HyperSense intensity, to the RGB patterns. The RBG patterns can even be set up to flash certain colors for certain activities in game! It's insane the level of customization that the Chroma RGB software provides. 4. Mic Quality: I don't play a lot of games where I talk a lot, but in the one that I do (Star Trek Online), my Fleetmates, and team members all said they could hear me crystal clear with the Kraken V3. When I don't need the mic, it's easy to pull out and put in my desk drawer. Don't Like: 1. HyperSense: I've gotten to the point where I have turned off the vibration features on my gamepads because of it just becoming annoying now and not adding any actual immersion. I had to do the same with the HyperSense. I think it is more of an issue of the software interface since there really is 'immersion' to it. It vibrates the teeth out of your head on the highest setting not because an RPG went off next to you but because the sound/music just hit a really low bass note. If it were tuned so that it had an effect that tied to the game action and not just the sound pitch, it would be much better, though I would still probably turn it off. May be a super cool feature in the future but right now it is just a gimmick and may even cost you money at the dentist to fix your teeth. Indiferent: 1. Light Effects: If you are a streamer, you will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the fine tuning you can do of the RGB light on the Razor V3. The fact that you can tie color visual effect to in-game actions is really cool. Since I can not see my self while playing, and do not stream myself, it is largely wasted on me. Conclusions: The Kraken V3s with HyperSense are a top notch gaming headset. That being said, if you don't need the lighting effects or want to rattle your teeth out of your head, I would recommend the standard Kraken headset instead and save a bit of money. Really I would give this 4.5 stars, but I can't do half stars.

These headphones are solid. They have a great build on them. They are sturdy metal at the hinge. I feel confident these will last a long time. The head feel is decent. The extra durability comes at the the cost of some extra weight. It so pretty balanced at the pressure points so it isn’t at the cost of comfort. The sound is good. The surround sound is good. The HyperSense is good you really get to feel the explosions and the gunshots when you are playing video games. When playing songs with a lot of bass it really shines. The only gripe is that sometimes it’s a little overwhelming. I found it distracting especially when I have the mic sidetone on and my voice is causing the headset to vibrate. I usually leave it on the lowest or the second level when using the HyperSense. The sound is great with the Spatial Audio making it easy to tell where the enemies are coming from in competitive matches and feel more immersed in story games. These are a solid headset with a lot of technology. They are durable and sound great.
