RAZER Kraken Tournament Edition: THX Spatial Audio - Full Audio Control - Cooling Gel-Infused Ear Cushions- Black (Renewed)

This headset came in pristine condition, in the undamaged Razer Kraken box. I would have sworn it was brand new, works perfectly for casual gaming and for work. It's super comfortable, I have TMJ so pressure from most standard headsets begins to irritate my jaw area pretty quickly, I can wear these for hours without trouble. It's got the weight of high quality without being too heavy, it is on the bully side but it looks so cool I don't mind. I'm told the sound from my mic is clear, no need to mess with the settings much or pull the mic right up against my mouth like I've seen in some reviews. The audio is really nice, too. The surround sound is cool, I haven't used it much but it's a neat feature. Doesn't work so well with music, you want the normal stereo sound for regular listening. It's bassy and does sound pretty good, even without using the EQ. It leaks sound pretty heavily if music or game/movie volume is turned up, the sound can easily be heard by someone else in the room. Voice doesn't seem to have that problem thankfully. I'm so pleased with these, and pleasantly surprised with the warehouse quality and price.

I have owned this headset for about 5 years now and they still work like they are brand new. I love the retractable mic and braided cable for extra durability. Audio controller works great but keep in mind that the THX feature requires downloading their software. Cable is also extra long so there's plenty of space too move around. Mic is very high quality and is crystal clear.

I've used this headset since July 2019, 4 years and 10 months. I've thrown it slammed it knocked the symbol of the side of the earpiece and I've dropped them by tripping on the cord at least 100x from 3 feet. The left ear has finally gone out but the mic the right ear the headband the ear pads the adjuster on the cord the size adjustment the Mini mixer are all in 100% working condition. 5 out of 5 stars. The ONLY issue is they don't clamp to your head well which can be an advantage when you're using them 8-10 hours a day which I have done in the past. The gel ears are awesome and the cord held up flawlessly. Sound is great good up and downs and left and rights for the game but not much from in front or behind but game sense will help with quick process of elimination.

This headset checks all the boxes. Great sound quality for gaming. The THX surround sound simulation is nice and helps with games like COD Warzone. It's not audiophile level by any means but it's not bad at all for a sub-$100 headset. Good tight bass and you can adjust the EQ with Razer Synapse. Comfortable to wear. I usually play for 3-4hrs and have not had any discomfort. Cushions does the job and the open air design allows for breathe-ability. The headband doesn't put too much pressure either. Mic works well. No complaints from my teammates. The volume control dongle is a plus for quick muting and volume adjustments. Build quality is good so far. Seems solid overall and I have no concerns of anything breaking. Just what I would expect from a Razer product.

I long while back I purchased some Audio Technica headset with a 4channel soundboard and it worked great until it gave out on me about 10 years after purchase. Headset was $200 and soundboard was $80ish. I bought these to get me through until I figured out if I wanted to repair my old headset. Turns out this headset is the best headset I have ever used and will now make it my primary one. Very comfortable, sounds great, my online friends say the mic is 10x better than my old headset. My only issue with it so far is it slightly sounds like the right ear is quieter than the left ear but it's a refurbished product at a great price point so I can't complain too much. Bought the extended warranty just in case ;).

This written portion is just a shorter version which inspired my video. The video was created with the headphones more importantly the boom mic, so you should be able to hear the quality of output. This pair I purchased renewed. I could not tell that it had been previously owned other than the box it came in did not look retail. I wasn't sure what to expect with these headphones after seeing all the haters in the reviews. What was apparent is that there are a lot of people that bought these and did not know how to use them and therefore thought they were broken or bad. If you aren't willing to download software, explore the features, mess with the EQ these are probably not for you. These are made for people who are really serious about gaming and are willing to take time to adjust the sounds that they are hearing to optimize their game play. If you aren't serious about taking the time to optimize your audio or you aren't very tech savvy don't get these Tournament Edition Krakens. Get some other headphones that are plug and play.

The mic is very good, the sound quality is top tier, and the headset is beyond comfortable. Comfort is to be expected for 10+ hours of gaming. Razer is a great choice in general because of their many programs that come with their products. In this case, the Razer Synapse helps user equalize their audio output, suppress background noise in their microphone, and switch between stereo and surround sound. The headset may appear expensive. However, this headset may last for years and remain top tier.

I bought this headset because it has sidetone (where you can toggle where you can hear yourself or not) So I am not yelling and upsetting my whole house. It works great and I really love this headset. I have recommended it to a few friends and so far everyone is enjoying it. Under features that I was supposed to rate it said to rate noise cancellation? I wouldnt say this headset really advertises noise cancellation or is good at it so I wouldn't base reviews around that. But it is fantastic and a must buy!
