Customer Ratings & Reviews

Recently Razer has released some quality gaming products and the Kraken V3 Pro Hypersense can easily be added to the list. In the box you will find the headphones and the included USB C charging cable. Once you are done charging the headphones for a few hours you can proceed to connect them to your desired gaming device. The wireless connection is done via a 2.4 GHz connection so it is more reliable than Bluetooth however I do wish they included Bluetooth as an option so that you could use these with phones and tablets as well. The sound quality is amazing compared to my previous wired gaming headset and this can be attributed to the 50mm titanium drivers. The THX spatial audio can't truly be compared to a traditional 7.1 surround sound setup however it surprisingly comes fairly close. I also thought the haptic sound was a gimmick however strangely adds a new dimension to gaming headsets. The microphone is detachable so you can take it off if you don't need it and it does do a decent job at suppressing background noise. The wireless headphones are extremely comfortable due to their graciously sized ear cups that have memory foam in them. These headphones are fairly bulky however they are very comfortable to wear for an extended period of time. The RGB lighting is more of a gimmicky item if you ask me however it seems to fit the parameters of most gaming devices these days. Lets just say it would not have taken anything away from your overall experience it Razer left it off. Stated battery life is 11 hrs but this will slightly vary from user to user. A quick side note is that these unfortunately cannot be used wireless with an XBOX. Overall the Razer Kraken V3 is a great wireless headset that won't disappoint if you are in the market for a gaming headset.

Very good gaming headset. This headset is comfortable. I've worn them for hours without discomfort. The earcups fit great around my ears, the memory foam is soft and they keep outside sounds down to a minimum. The headband is adjustable and soft. The weight of the headset is not heavy so they don't drop down and cause discomfort over time while playing. Setup and connection is quick and easy. Everything you need is included. To enable spatial audio there is software to download. It was a quick download, easy to use. Controls are easy to access on the sides. The hypersense button is on it's own side so guessing which one it is. The hypersense has 3 sensitivity levels for vibrations. The highest setting is intense. Coupled with the spatial audio which gives 360° positional audio and you are IN the game. My favorite game is a zombie game and these added a new sense of thrill to the game. The RGB lighting is beautiful of course and if you can sync it to other compatible devices you own with the software. The only reason I did not give a 5 star rating is the microphone. The microphone is disappointing. It is clear, but friends mistook speaking through it for speaking on the phone. It works to communicate, but it's nothing to brag on. I would give these a 4.5 star if that were an option. I would still recommend these for the great audio and hypersense vibrations putting you IN the game and the comfort even after hours of playing.

The Razer - Kraken V3 Pro HyperSense Wireless 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset for PC and Mac headphones offer all of the common features that qualify them as” GAMING” headphones as well as their Haptic drivers that can make explosions a head shaking experience. Thankfully that effect can be shut off if it gets to be too much. FEATURES: • 10-Band Graphic EQ. Presets are adjustable with included software. • Haptic drivers in each earcup augment low frequency sounds with physical vibrations to amplify in-game explosions etc. • Memory foam in earcups and head-bands enhance long term comfort. • The Razor “HyperClear Cardioid Mic gives great voice isolation as well as clarity. It focuses its pickup on your mouth directly on front of it. It reduces input from your keyboard and the surrounding room. This is very important when communicating with your fellow team members during game play. PROS: • A well-built headphone with comfortable fit • The THX “Spatial Audio” gives a good Surround Sound effect. • The microphone produces clear audio. CONS: • Does not work wirelessly with Xbox consoles CONCLUSION: A good choice for PC gamers.

I’ve reviewed several dozen gaming headsets over the years and one common thing I’ve noticed is the migration towards gimmicky lights and features designed to attract 13-year-old boys. Yes, that is a demographic a gaming accessory company has to account for, but it wastes dollars on features that offer no performance gains and would be better suited to be used on functional components. Alas, Razer leads the category on that sizzle over substance by applying lights to everything they sell. Now that does not mean they do not have good quality items, they certainly do. It just means some of their products could be that much better. So, let’s delve into how the Razer - Kraken V3 Pro HyperSense Wireless Headset fits into the myriad of headsets on the market and how it holds up. Comfort and fit– I do not usually start off a review with comfort and fit but I felt Razer really nailed with the Kraken V3. Soft and supple leatherette on the ear cups and head band make this a teat to wear. It is a bit heavier than some of it’s rivals that use more plastic, but the weight is well balanced enough that you do not notice it. The ear cups fit perfectly and make a tight seal. Adjustments are easy and precise. Every measure of the headset fit me perfectly. Top marks. Construction – As with most Razer products, the Kraken V3 is built very well. It is mostly metal with a high level of fit and finish. You can tell Razer does pay attention to the little things – sizing indicators etched in to the metal band, metal grills on the ears pieces, branded cords – all top notch. Battery life – The official battery life is 44 hours without the lights and haptic feedback ( more on that later.) If you have all lights on, high volume and max haptic feedback, it is supposed to only get 11 hours. For heavy use for 5 days, I did not make dent in the battery life. You should have no issues. Sound output – The sound quality had mixed results. Overall, with some software tuning, it does sound good. Not as good as some more expensive headsets but it is rich and detailed. Bass is slightly muted, but the mid-range and treble is near perfect – exactly as I prefer it. I also used the headset for a lot of music, there is a very noticeable difference when you adjust the audio equalizer for music and turn up the voice clarity settings. That will vary by the song but it very significant. Sound input (mic) – This is where Kraken V3 falls short. The mic sound is washed out to not what I expected. No matter what changes I made, it just did not sound any better than that an inexpensive headset. The Kraken V3 does list the mic as noise cancelling and that can sometimes wash out vocals, but I did not find the noise cancelling to be that good. I did notice latency in the mic when speaking. You would never know it until you tried to sing along with a song. It is not horrible, but it is there. Software – The Razer Synapse software allows you to control every facet of the sound and lighting in one convenient app. It is very good, when it works. First, it crashes and freezes up. This has been an ongoing issue with other Razor products I have had over the years. Other minor annoyances is it gets stuck on the sign on screen and resetting my password seems to never generate an email. Razer get an “A” for features in the software but a “C” for reliability. Connectivity – I connected to a my PC, PS5 and my Xbox with no issues. This is a not certified “to work Xbox” licensed product so you have to pair with the included 3.5 mm wire to the controller but I do not mind that. Other than the Xbox, you can use the included USB dongle. You do lose the control features of the software when you connect via the 3.5 mm. Unique haptic feedback – The Kraken V3 has a unique feature of vibrating to sound. It has 3 settings – low , medium and high. The idea is you can feel certain sounds as they happen. I just could not stand it - very annoying and distracting from game play. It seems like a gimmick and totally unnecessary. Some may like it for extra immersive experience but I really hated it. In conclusion, this is a fine headset that is marred by a subpar mic and gimmicks. Light and haptic rumbling might sell, but it is fluff in the end. Ask yourself, have you ever seen pro gamers on television ever have LED lights blazing up the headsets ? Or do you see relatively non-descript head sets that are high on form and function rather than flare? I would rather have the high quality rather than some lights that I am not going to see when I am wearing a headset. If you are in the same camp as me, you would be probably better suited with some of the other Razer headsets. If lights and haptic rumbling are your thing, the Razer - Kraken V3 Pro HyperSense Wireless Headset is a strong performer.

It has been my experience that gaming headsets have never been great in all areas of use. Some are uncomfortable to wear after a while, or the mic picks up too much background noise, or the audio is just kind of fine for gaming but not great for music. The Kraken V3 Pro suffers from none of the compromises that other headsets make. The audio is very clean, even well enough to listen to music with for those with discriminate ears with precise details. The Kraken V3 Pro wireless installs fairly easy with Razer's Synapse software and gives you controls for lighting, virtual 7.1 surround and some other settings. I experienced no degraded audio quality while using these on my gaming PC. I found the analog volume control to be helpful in quickly adjusting the volume. The power button and mic mute toggle are also nearby on the left side of the headset. Now for the unusual. This headset has haptics. Not in the sense on needing special game support to use it but it still works. I'll try to briefly explain. With the headset powered on, you have a choice of 3 levels of haptics or turn it off using the lone button on the right side of the headset. The basics are this, haptics work on this headset by pulling the much lower frequencies and giving that to the haptics to handle. It comes across and deep thunderous satisfying bass, that isn't exactly bass. I must admit that wearing them and using haptics is a unique experience and is not at all gimmicky on the Razer Kraken V3 Pro Wireless. It's a different level of enjoyment in gaming and otherwise I enjoyed using these while PC gaming and am always impressed by Razer's virtual 7.1 surround sound and it's ability to pinpoint directional sound quickly. It's not lost on the sound clarity of the headset. Whether you game, listen to music, watch movies or whatever else you'd want to use them for, you won't be disappointed. Yet again Razer exceeds my expectations for wireless (occasionally wired) audio and are a joy to use.

These are great all around. The razer synapse software that is needed to get these to work to their full potential deducts one star. The problems with the software syncing the the headset is resolved by turning off the auto-turnoff function the the software, however. I don't like the haptic feedback for gaming, but the haptic feedback for listening to music is an amazing experience. It emulates that feeling that I get from listening to music with a subwoofer.

I returned the razer nari ultimate to pock these up. The nari ultimate was a great set but lacked 2 things for me that yhe v3 pro gave me, battery life and adjustable haptic feedback i could do without attaching them to a computer. As stated in a previous review, they are wireless but if you want to ise for xbox you need the chord. Having the wireless dongle fit into the headset is a plus. I lost the one that came with my sony pulse 3d rendering that headset useless. If not for the haptic feedback id probably be rocking the astro q50 or arctis 7+ ( i like the 7+ over the 7p+ due to the chat/game volume mix option) So far this is my headset choice of the year. It just makes you feel so immersed in action games, shooters, story mode games and does great with 2k22 with the haptic off. This headset has me satisfied with a headset for the first time. If you dont need haptic feedback id recommend the turtle beach 700 gen 2, rig800 pro and those i previouslt mentioned. I hope this helped.

The kraken v3 Pro headset is nothing short of amazing in my opinion. They were tested only on PC. These headphones did not disappoint. Great price for the quality level and the Razer name. Amazing construction. Heavy but sturdy. I feel like they will last a long time. Great for long gaming seasons. Ear cups are made of nice, cushy material and didn’t crush my ears at all. Same for the headband material. Very, very comfortable. The haptic feedback is a bit much in some games at its highest setting. Sounded like my brain was being stepped on at some points. I found that keeping it at its lowest setting for gaming and its highest setting for music was my comfort zone. Very nice and easy to find right side button to control this. Detachable microphone is a nice feature but seemed cheap. I don’t use headset mics anyway so being able to detach and leave it in the box is a great feature. The plug and play dongle made setup very simple. To get the most out of these headphones, downloading Synapse 3 and the THX spatial software is a must. The programs give you so much control.

Let's start off with this is just a PlayStation review. All this headset is a better version of the Nari ultimate but one of Razer's worst headsets. The surround sound is really good but hard to hear at times do to the over emphasis on bass and rumbling ear cups. The range is horrible and distorted at about 10 feet. Had to keep leaning forward to clean up the sound. The battery life was about 8-9 hours tops. The RGB isn't necessary for a $200 headset. In all the headset was extremely comfortable and easy to use but the connection issues and muddy sounds do to the rumbling head shaking bass just ruins this headset. The black shark V3 pro is way better and cheaper but it's got the same range problems. This is just a gimmick headset and not worth the $200 at all. Razer you can do way better and please fix your dongle range on all headsets please!? The black shark V3 pro was my favorite headset but not being able to sit on my couch and stay connected was the deal breaker (it's exactly 10ft away from my PlayStation).

The Razor Kraken V3 headset is considered one of best because of its high-quality audio performance excellent comfort for long sessions, and durability. It also features advanced audio customization options, such as THX Audio, which provides immersive sound experience for gamers. Additionally, the headset has a sleek and modern design that is appealing to many users. Overall, the Razor Kraken V3 offers a combination of performance, comfort, and style that makes it a top choice for gamers.

In short, DO NOT BUY THIS HEADSET, here are the issues I've been having below: I have never had more issues with a headset than this one. I have renewed the warranty on this headset twice within a year. The first issues were with the connection. The Bluetooth connection is terrible, constantly disconnecting at random times. Plugging in the headset using the headphone jack can fix this issue but the cable that comes with the headset is fairly small and annoying. Anytime I would watch YouTube, the headset would shut off anytime a video ended. I thought at first this was my computer, resetting settings first and then a full reset, and after everything, I finally turned in the headset for a new one and have never had this issue after. After receiving the new one, the mic is already broken after a month. It just stopped working entirely. Discord and my computer settings are telling me the hardware mute button is constantly on. I am EXTREMELY careful with my computer and accessories, and do not believe this to be my fault. I have not dropped it or anything along those lines. The audio is pretty solid but I rarely use the synapse features and mess with any extreme settings so it could be better if you put the time and effort. The cool bass feature that comes with the headset is neat and is super fun for a while but I really only use it when I'm playing a game, and only use this feature when listening to music. I wouldn't recommend this headset for 30 dollars let alone over 100. You can find something better for cheaper easily.

The sound quality experience was very good. I really enjoyed the surround sound and vibration effects; made gaming really immersive. When wired or wireless, the sound maintained good quality as well. Unfortunately, I had issues with the mic. The only way anyone could hear me is if the mic was practically touching my lips, and even then I was very quiet. I tried messing with the app's settings to boost the audio, messing with Discord's audio settings, but it never got to a point where my audio sounded good. If I didn't need the microphone, I'd keep the headphones from the audio quality alone. Unfortunately, I need a headset that can do both, so I'll be returning this item.

I wanted to love this headset. To be fair, the sound is good when it works, but there seems to be several issues that pop up with this headset, if you search for user reviews, and I experienced them all: The left ear cup's volume was never balanced and always quieter than the right. The volume never seemed to get that high, even at it's highest setting. The battery would never show up as being fully charged in the Synapse app, and the app itself crashed so often. And what hurt most of all, the Hypersense did't always work. When it did, it was great, but if I ever turned the setting off while the headset was on and then turned it on again, instead of a haptic rumble, I got a metallic clanging in the ear cups. It was distracting and horrible. Razer was great and even sent me a replacement within 5 days, but that headset didn't work either. The company obviously has some kinks to work out and until then, I would recommend waiting because when it works, it's amazing, but for $200, it should work out of the box.

The Razer Kraken V3 Pro wireless gaming headset is promising on paper but falls short of expectations. Included in the box is the headset itself, a USB-A “hyperspeed” wireless dongle, 3.5mm aux cable, USB-A to USB-C charging cable, instructions and stickers. Build quality is solid with memory foam cushions, a full headband cushion, and steel-reinforced headband. Externals are mostly plastic. Cushions and headband have a faux leather covering. Foam cushions are easily removeable and attachable. Headphones are adjustable with 8 detents. Physical controls on the headset include a volume wheel, power, and microphone mute button on the bottom-left side. Bottom-right of the headset houses the “hypersense button”. The hypersense button controls the level of haptic feedback (off, low, medium, high). I/O on the left side includes a USB-C charging port, 3.5mm headphone jack, and a keyed 3.5mm microphone jack. As you increase the volume with the physical volume wheel, the audio will become unbalanced with the right side louder than the left. At this price point, this issue should not be present. This is the only headset I have ever had this problem with. Sound cues of the “hypersense button” play seemingly random and without order. Haptic feedback Haptic feedback does not work when the headset is charging. Upon connection of the wireless dongle, software prompts you to install Razer Synapse and other optional software. Your PC will restart once with installation. Synapse software is well designed with volume, haptics, EQ, spacial sound, and RGB lighting control. THX Spacial Sound

⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️ This headset does not have wireless capability on mobile or Xbox. I owned a Razer Kraken V3 before receiving the Razer Kraken Pro, so here are some differences between the two. Razer Kraken V3: Razer Kraken V3 Pro: HyperSense - ❌ HyperSense - ✔️ Chroma RGB - ✔️ Chroma RGB - ✔️ Wireless Capability - ❌ Wireless Capability - ✔️ Price - USD$99.99 Price - USD$200 If it has all the things that the regular V3 doesn't why is it 3 stars? Well, only days after receiving the headset, the "HyperSense" feature began to stop working properly. Every time it vibrates, the headset makes a sound like old springs, very creaky and annoying. I'd expect a longer lifespan from a $200 headset. Everything else works great for the most part. The Chroma RGB adds tons of customization options to keep your headset looking flashy. The spatial audio is probably the best I've ever heard, a few times I even found myself looking for where a noise was coming from only to realize it was from the headset. The wireless function works great, and there is no noticeable latency. The microphone is super crisp and clear, and you can adjust the microphone (and audio) settings using the Razer Synapse app. This headset can use 3.5mm audio cords, unlike the wired versions of the V3, which only use USB-A. Overall: Buy if you want a high-quality wireless headset, but don't expect to use the HyperSense feature too often.

These are probably one of the best headsets out there. I know the other reviews are saying that these suck because they rumble too much it literlly has a setting that can change the rumble. Another review said that its not wirless for the Xbox. Razer announced its only wirless for ps4, ps5, and PC should have done your research. Once you find the right setting for each game that you play you will forget that you are just playing videogames

Super comfortable. Great sound. No one complained about hearing me when using the microphone.

Great product, super price. Sound quality turns awesome after you use the software to tune the headset and mic! I feel like I am IN the games!

I love this headset, the sound top notch and the battery life typically gets me through most sessions. Only complaint is the joint on the right side snapped a little over a year into owning the item, and thats with me taking really good care of them. If you chose to go with this product, be sure to get extended coverage because your $200 investment into the product with be lost a year into owning it.

Good design love the audio love the look and feel of the ear cups.
