    Decent quality audio, very durable and comfortable frame. My favorite feature is the retracting mic because it stops it from getting in the way.

    Seemed like a great headset at first. Had no complaints whatsoever. But it’s only been 3 months and it’s completely dead. No sound in, no sound out.

    Worth it

    I had the older version of the Kraken that had analog and a (i dont remember the names sorry) a volume control tool on the wire that ended up being how i lost it. I swore off analog headsets because they seemed to be too easy to end up broken or partially broken and screeching in your ear occasionally. I ended up replacing it with another but regardless of friends saying that my new headset had better sound quality than the tournament edition razer kraken, it really didn't. It had very high quality sound for immersive gaming such as MMORPG players and even watching movies. So fast forward i have no headset really and my mom tried to make my life a bit brighter and told me anything online i wanted that wasn't too expensive i could have. There wasn't much i could think of. I remembered how i had no real headset at the moment and i did want to indulge in a girly pink headset which i have never had in gaming equipment. I remembered hearing how the mic was clear and the sound quality didn't pay for that quality on it. I decided it was a good temporary headset and i bought it. The sound was great and mic quality was amazing, for once people could hear me clearly through bad internet. It had analog which honestly only caused any problems when it got yanked out as i moved with a laptop. I ended up getting my headset meant to not be the temporary one and it was a 200 something dollar LED wireless headset that very soon gave me charging issues. I ended up neglecting the charge on that one and i misplaced the USB end so I just went back to my under 100$ pink Razer kraken headset and even now almost two years later i am using this headset over others that may be better overall but not to the extent i feel like putting up with more issues. So, maybe that can help sum up the kind of headset this is, its not expensive its not ugly its very comfortable and it does what i need a headset to do, As a person who pays attention to detail and the small things can throw me off of how i view things, This is definitely satisfactory for an actual good headset that can be on par with the ones built more extensively. It's rare i come across good quality, durable, hassle free, tech related products. It may just overall depend on preference, but if you are considering a more high end headset when you can settle for something basically identical thats cheaper and less likely to break down, id go for this one.
