Totally disappointed, product is terrible.

The general conclusion remained as follows: a headset for 7 thousand, without the possibility of surround sound. Just beautiful headphones. Sorry, but in games, any headphones for 500 will sound the same. Money down the drain. All my PC peripherals are Razer and it's such an annoyance, I'm completely disappointed in this company. As soon as you purchase these headphones, you can safely realize that you will be left with nothing.

Pros
  • Nothing
Cons
  • I bought headphones on 04/18/20 through the official Razer store, as soon as they brought me connected to the computer, but there was no surround sound in the game, I downloaded a special Razer surround program to achieve surround sound in games, but I needed a code. I went to the Razer ID website, where I registered the product, after registration, a code was supposed to be sent to the mail to activate surround sound during the day, 4 full days have passed since then, there was no code, and no, I wrote 04/19/20 in support to razer. Com, still no answer, they just ignore me. I called Razer 2022 support, they answered me that the code should have arrived within 24 hours and that if it is not there, they cannot help me in any way, since the codes are provided by Razer from America.

The right product for me, there were no problems.

Personally, I recommend these headphones to everyone, because there are so many pluses (I wrote only the main pluses and there are many more pluses) there are only a couple of minuses that many will not even pay attention to. So if you are choosing between kraken and headphones for the same price, take kraken! P. S. After writing a review, a month has passed on the headphones, only 1 scratch appeared, and then due to the fact that they constantly fall to the floor)

Pros
  • 1. Metal frame 2. Nice materials 3. Cool appearance 4. Ears do not get tired and do not sweat 5. High-quality sound (I personally like the bass very strongly and will appeal to those who like the sound of jbl headphones or speakers, the rest may not go) 6. 7.1 sound (this refers to the last paragraph, but I decided to take it out separately) with 7.1 turned on in games and when watching videos or listening to music, it even becomes a little scary and you constantly look around because the sounds are at different distances and heights ( by feeling). The thing is cool, but as with the bass, not everyone will go 7. Plus for me personally, the box is beautiful and it's not a shame to put it on the shelf)
Cons
  • 1. The sound of the microphone is bad (but this is not really a minus for me, since I have a usb microphone with normal sound, and even more so, I didn’t do anything with the microphone, which means I didn’t use any programs, etc. So the sound can do better) 2. There is no noise, but for the house I don’t think it’s really a minus, but for the street it’s quite serious (but let’s be honest, who will use huge gaming headphones with a microphone when there are small, cheap wireless headphones with noise?) 3. When the cord rubs against clothes, noise is heard, but I immediately say it is audible only when the sound is not turned on, and even after a couple of hours you forget about it (this minus could be attributed to the past, okay)

I can't say that I was completely satisfied with the product.

Krakens 2022 is much better. I have them still alive. but the top and ears were worn and greasy from time to time. In the photo, I showed how to partially remove the problem. I clamped the wire so that the part that comes after the mixer would not dangle

Pros
  • Quality materials, visually look beautiful. Acceptable sound
Cons
  • The main reason for writing this review. This is that his wire transmits all the rustling about clothes. NO INSULATION, above the place of the sound control mixer you hear any touch of it in the headphones . You hear any sound in the room in the headphones. When buying, I rode the subway . I had to twist the music to the maximum speed.

I am very upset, the product is no good.

*Before that, I used and still use Plantronics RIG 4VR. * I bought it because the brand is quite famous. Yes, the design is beautiful, but man does not live by bread alone. Everything else is either at an average level, or at times worse than competitors with about the same price, or even completely cheaper. The sound is just lousy. Some inflated bass for children, some strange frequency ranges. No, I've always understood Razer's customer focus, but to be so. And okay, if it could be somehow

Pros
  • Appearance Razer logo and stickers, how could it be without them :-)))) That's where the pros end.
Cons
  • Sound Microphone Price Mediocre soundproofing

Best thing I have ever used, highly recommended!

The benefits are that it is portable, cozy, and effective. Even after eight hours of wear, my wife's ears still feel fresh. Down below: on a functional Dell PC, I had to fiddle with the sound settings, but that's simply a flaw of the machine.

I like the product, the quality didn't let me down.

benefits from Comfortable ear cushions made of fabric. Scarf made of aluminum. The speaker's diameter is 50 millimeters. Woven wire. Negative: The wire is permanently attached. The noise level is low. My ears weren't cooled at all.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product for me, no problems at all.

The benefits of it include: Sound of high quality, solid positioning within games, and compatibility with both musical and cinematic endeavors The only thing that may be considered a con is that the wire is twisted, but personally, I don't mind it at all. After investing in some wire holders, I was able to eradicate the issue once and for all.

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

Has some pros Great headphones. The ears do not get tired after long rinks, the sound is chic in games and movies. These headphones are not suitable for music. Good microphone. Some cons: The music plays like it's in the soul. Not musical headphones from the word at all. If you can only listen to dupstep.

The product disappointed, does not meet the promises.

With its pros. They sit well on the head, do not fall when you bend over, do not press. Decent bass, but would have liked better treble. Its cons: Terrible microphone. The volume control sometimes works so that the volume of the sound in the ears becomes different, you have to additionally twist it.

The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

I really like the purchase that I made, which was for gaming headphones that included a microphone. Although it would be interesting to compare myself to other rivals, I do not now have the opportunity to do so. Review of Kraken Green 2022 The product comes in attractive packaging, and each component inside is well protected from damage. A case for your headphones of the highest quality. cable that is easy to use, as well as the availability of an adaptor that can connect two cables 3.5. The…

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

I made sure my better half got to sample it. She has an all-white aesthetic, thus she need premium whites. Finally, we agreed on these. Everything has been satisfactory to her since last December.

Pros
  • Reel gets a little cooler thanks to the cool gel inserts in the ear cushions. A peculiar choice. The construction is of high quality. Absolutely no negative consequences, and so on. - act out their part
Cons
  • The wife was unable to locate

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It functions perfectly, nothing unusual.

The upcoming Krakens 2022 is a significant improvement. I am still caring for them. although the crown and ears were dirty and worn. In the picture, I illustrated a partial solution to the issue. I fastened the clamp on the wire so the end that connects to the mixer wouldn't dangle.

Pros
  • High-quality construction, aesthetically pleasing. Tolerable noise levels
Cons
  • The primary justification for producing this analysis. The rustling of garments is transmitted clearly through his wire. Above the location of the sound control mixer, there is no insulation, therefore every movement of the mixer may be heard in the headphones. When you put on the headphones, you can hear everything around you. I took the subway to the store. It was imperative that I accelerate the music to its highest possible setting.

Good value for money, I recommend it.

I have been utilizing it for quite some time, and I initially purchased it for the purpose of playing CS:GO. They are not, however, suited for use in games in which it is essential to hear the opponent. Yet it's a perfect environment for music listening! The music is beautiful, and I really enjoy it; in particular, when the bass track is turned up to a higher volume, it gives the impression that the headphones are buzzing and shaking because of the vibrations. After two years of use, the ear…

Pros
  • - Presentation to the Assembly - Assembly - Comfy - Sound (for listening to music) - USB port (which suggests that there is a DAC included inside the device. There is no difference in the sound quality between the phone and the PC. - insulating against sound
Cons
  • Games that use geolocation. There is a haze over the music. With the use of sound, it is extremely challenging to obtain accurate information regarding the location of an object, such as when the object is hidden behind a wall.

Terrible product, not worth the money at all!

Prior to purchasing the most recent model of Krakens (as of November 2022), I used the 2022 model for six years. The headphones were excellent value for the money, comfortable, and light enough that you could easily forget you were wearing them while playing games or listening to music (for their 4000 that they gave for them). And if it weren't for the wire fraying, the microphone starting to wheeze, and the ripped ear pads, I would still use them (but these are trifles). And I was so happy…

Pros
  • Stunning braided cord
Cons
  • Compared to the 2022 model, the sound quality is significantly inferior. In addition, the microphone, which dangles and rattles when you tilt your head, is significantly worse in terms of sound quality and design. The headphones pick up the sound of the wire snagging on clothing. The headphones have poor head pressure and move out when you tilt your head forward or backward. Personally, I found the ear cushions' oval form to be uncomfortable (the round shape of the Krakens 2022 was much more comfortable). However, I am aware that this is only my perspective and that other people will find oval forms to be quite useful. (I am writing the review after 3 months) When you turn the headphone volume control wheel, the sound in the left ear gets a little quieter. However, only in a specific position does the sound level out when you turn and press down the knob. These headphones keep surprising me.

In general, everything is not bad, but I expected more.

After a time-consuming installation of all of the programs for the Razer headset (because there is also a keyboard from this company), a whole host of new things have become available. One of these is spatial sound, which is perfect for use in computer games, in particular a variety of shooters. When viewed from the outside, the headphones have a very clean and polished appearance; nevertheless, when worn on the head, they have a rather hefty appearance due to the ear cushions. As for the…

Pros
  • Less sound and interference with the user interface
Cons
  • It took a very long time to set up the headphones, and most of the packaging was unclear, heavy, and large. Strange sound quality from the microphone lengthy cable

Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

Headphones for use at home when playing, watching media, or listening to music are perfectly adequate. That there aren't universally compatible headphones available for $100 in 2022 is a minor annoyance. benefits from 7.1 Channels of Audio Surround Effects. They pinpoint the exact direction from which the noise is from with pinpoint accuracy. At times, it appears that sounds coming from behind or to the sides are being intentionally increased. Wire shackle made of a synthetic material. If it's…

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

Pros below: Pleasant sound with juicy bass familiar to all Razers, ear pads enlarged to 50 mm, do not touch the auricle at all, do not press on the temples of the glasses. Cons below: The soundproofing has become worse, you can calmly talk without taking off, but the included TV next to it will interfere if you do not start any music or video.

How could such a bad product be made?

Razer has always used the term "from gamers for gamers" about their company. But the big problem is quality and customer service. Many users talk about design errors, but they keep adding new ones. I do not advise if you do not mind 5k for a couple of months. Its pros: I constantly changed headphones and tried different things were the Logitech G432, in which I did not hear the game clearly, these headphones delight with juicy sound when listening to music, in games any ambient will not be left

I like everything, the price and the quality are both ok.

For an adult, headphones, as for a game, are not bad, they sound clear, without distortion. But, the price is high, you can find cheaper with the same quality speakers. The younger one couldn’t put it on, the ambishurs don’t cling, the older one came up, he was delighted with them “it’s a razer!”. The built-in microphone is quiet (not critical, but I had to turn it up to the maximum, including the gain). Otherwise, good, not squeaky, beautiful headphones, they do their job and with high…

Pros
  • Good sound quality plastic.
Cons
  • They are uncomfortable for a small head, the ambichurs do not cling, I had to take it away from the child, replace it with Hypers.

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

I think this is the best headset for the job. For this money, you simply cannot find better and more comfortable headphones. Different pros: The sound is much better than the first kraken model. Ears practically do not sweat in them. They sit very comfortably on a large head. The ears fit completely into the cups. Its cons: Very heavy. For wired headphones without a battery, the weight is huge. I can't get used to it for a week, but my neck gets tired very quickly.
