Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent headset, best one I’ve had so far. I’ve had the Logitech Pro X, Astro A20s, Corsair Virtuoso, Steel Series 7 Arctis, Hyper X Cloud Alphas and many more. When it comes to comfortability and sound I believe these to be the best on the market. The haptic feature is what really sold me on these.

If you charge the battery often, you’re good to go. The headset looks beautiful and feel expensive. The sound is great, better than the Logitech Pro X. It has deep bass and clear sound. It is precise when it comes to fps gaming. I don’t use the immersive feature which would reduce the battery life.

- razer synapse software does not always find device on pc startup, requiring un/replugging of usb - annoying, persistent (every few seconds, truly horrific) beeping tone occurs while on low battery, though seemingly fixed by restarting headset? - introduction of thx spatial audio software can initially complicate/block functioning. fixed by restarting pc, setting default sound output to THX Spatial Audio, and/or replugging usb (+/- prayer?) - power button's pause/skip/rewind functions are finicky. expect rewinds (triple press) to register as pauses or skips (single, double press, respectively) + great sound, especially with THX Spatial Audio software and Hypersense (on device function), which is like ear haptics, but just feels like extreme bass. With synapse, sound adjusts between Movie, Game, etc. modes depending on the application currently in focus + comfortable + feels sturdy, quality + bluetooth capability not required on any devices, as wireless connectivity is done via a usb + detachable mic (which i have not yet used) + size adjuster is marked with numbers, good for knowing your preference

it sounds amazing love the haptics only downside i have had is with it disconnecting then not reconnecting after that without unplugging the dongle and pluging it back in

Very good feeling and has amazing bass only downs is the rgbs are a little annoying to change and has a short range from the Bluetooth.

Picked one of these bad boys up not too long ago and so far it’s been a solid choice. The construction and materials used are of high quality and having Razer Chroma integration with the rest of my Razer peripherals is where it’s at. The ear cups feel comfortable after extended use and the sound quality is spectacular. The one thing I will mention though is that the headphones happen to disconnect frequently from the USB receiver. I often find myself having to turn the headphones on and off when jumping between browser tabs or embedded videos at websites. Thus the 4 star review as its a minor inconvenience I suspect not all will enjoy.

Best headphones for this price, very comfortable and high quality sound.

For $200, the Kraken V3 Pro has mediocre sound, outdated firmware, lacks bluetooth, long-ish USB A dongle, but interesting haptic motors for immersion. Not having bluetooth isn't a big deal because latency is a problem when you're gaming. There's a noteable lack of ANC but to be honest, I'm surprised any wireless headset -anything- has ANC for $200. Most ANCs I've heard in this price range are pretty bad, affect the sound characteristics, and don't block out all that well. It's honestly not a miss in my book. Needed to EQ the sound in the Synapse application and to be honest, the THX "feature" doesn't compare to Dolby Atmos. I toned down the low end by two db across the range, raised the mids a tiny bit, and brought down some of the highs as well. This balanced out the sound for more of a neutral frequency which produced good clarity and sparkle. The firmware was really frustrating to update because although the update software told me it would need to shut down the modules for Synapse, it didn't. I had to turn off the Synapse auto run feature, restart the computer, and that fixed my issues. Talk about a headache. After resolving the problems I've listed, the headphones now sound much better, the cups and headband offer decent comfort, and the haptic feedback is a nice gimmick that I personally find to be a good selling point. I imagine the battery life could be better if I turned them off but why? They still last a day of gaming and I just charge them afterwards. Controls are basically all on the left side which clutters it up, but the volume dial is not too hard to find and I imagine with repetition, it'll be even easier to reach for. I like that there's a mute button that you can determine if activated or not, and the haptic adjust on the right is a good place for that. This headset is an easy recommendation for those looking for a decent wireless headset and really want the immersion that the haptics provide.

These headphones sound very great with the built in surround sound. I would complain that getting these to sync up with the doggie can be annoying sometimes. I’d have to use a Razer app to link them every time I had issues. Besides that, I think they’re epic for living room setups. I plan to use em at my desk more now since I hate the wire of my older headset. I’m curious if these can be used with the base station v2 audio dad via wire connection?

Great set of headset, the sound is superb, the haptic feedback is great, but I can see this being a personal preference since some people may like it, others cannot, you can reduce or eliminate the intensity of the feedback by pressing the feed back button, the microphone is clear, connection is great, if you try to run your speakers and headset at the same time, it can confuse your computer, so make sure to play around with your settings if you plan on doing that, the headset will stop working if the computer gets confused and you may have to restart. Overall, I love the headset from razer and the chroma rgb is a plus.

Don't get me wrong there is nothing too bad about this headset I think most of my problems were on the App side of things, but this headset felt like a cheat code the Bass of each footstep could be felt, The 7 to 1 was fantastic, Rocking sound quality, but for some reason with the THX audio would bug out and Auto switch between the other choices, the Razer app was not a fan of this headset. The battery life was Ok not what I was hoping for. A few times I had to unplug and Re plugin the USB dongle for the Bluetooth so the Computer could see it again, Also so the Razer app could see it as well. I would no longer Recommend this headset due to the V4 being released at a better price, But if you are on a Tighter Budget and V3 fits that aspect better Yes it was a nice headset. I ended up giving mine to my loved one. Since mine never fully broke.

I gave this headset a couple of months to try out. I bought it about 3 months ago. When the headset works, it is simply amazing and the sound mixer is great. The physical quality of it was also nice and durable. It's a much cleaner look and you can even control the RGB with the Synapse Software. (That is really bad btw but good when it works- typical Razer Product) However, the headset doesn't ever charge to full, nor does it ever keep a good charge or last more than 2 hours. It does NOT keep a connection and I have to consistently re-pair the headset, power it on and off, or take the dongle out and place it back in. If I'm browsing YouTube or anything else with sound, it'll play the music but it'll randomly just "mute" itself even though windows says it's playing sound. Too many issues software wise. That's too bad. I'll be swapping this headset out for a completely different brand.

Everything is amazing from sound quality to the bass, im a bass lover so having my head shake when bombs and explosions go off is awesome, i do have to turn it off when i watch youtube cause it will activate from their voice.

long battery life, comfortable, easy to use RGB program, and great bass! Couldn't ask for a whole lot more, would highly recommend.

Overall a decent headset. The connection can have issues initially especially using a laptop even with the dongle. On a desktop I have not ran into the same issues. Battery can go quick but other than that a great headset.

I love the leather foam earpieces , which make it very comfortable for long hours. The hypersense vibration is one of the best features and helps with gaming. A must have.

These are pretty comfortable and sound good but they seemed to struggle with connection issues to my pc I was constantly having to unplug it and replug it back in

While I was downgrading in terms of sound range from the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro, I have to give it to Razer. The noise cancelation is significantly better in the Kraken for the active noise cancelation of the Arctis Nova Pro. After adjusting the sound settings and running through the SteelSeries GG app (after Razer Synapse), the percsion and performance of the Kraken's 7.1 was astonishing. I did have to update the firmware since it would randomly turn off (see Razer's support), but I am finding no issues since the update. Sound is clear, mic is great, 7.1 is amazing, and even the haptics are great (though I don't turn it on). Would recommend the Kraken V3 5/5

My years love the sound of kraken. The hypersense is a nice touch at low, I personally love it. That's how I remember razer from back in the day around 2007, headphones vibrating and massaging your ears and brain. I use it mostly for gaming. Before I settled with this headset I tried, G Pro X, TBs, Actris nova pro etc. I couldn't stand the crappy tiny sound and surround of any other headset even paired with a soundblaster card. With the kraken I am not even bothering to use a soundcard, it doesn't feel like it needs it. You can play use it while its charging or use it with a 3.5mm hooked to whatever. Good software. It's comfy and not tiring. Love it.

Good sound, always a fan of the haptic feedback for music and when driving vehicles in game. Battery life is short though with haptics on
