Review on Razer Kraken Gaming Headset: Lightweight Aluminum Frame - Retractable Noise Isolating Microphone - For PC by Gim Ji ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad buy, well worth the money.

The first time I used it, I was shocked, I did not expect to hear such a quality . My first thought was to do anything to fix it, otherwise I would have to return it. There was a 7.1 card in the box, I thought - I should try it, maybe it will be better. (In games, theoretically, everything should be more pleasant with such a sound and clearer, in films too). I downloaded the application, without looking at first I turned on the trial version. I climbed into the equalizer, set everything up, and oooh yeah - everything became drop dead! (For the first time in my life, I had to correct the sound somewhere with an equalizer in order to use headphones at all, in my opinion this is unacceptable. The sound should be good "out of the box"). Then I think - the trial is probably over, you need to activate the code from the card . But it does not work. It turned out that the code for 7.1 sound, and I activated THX in the application. Support said that in 2022 it is impossible to buy this function, it is not available. I try 7.1 - God, this sucks, words can not convey. It's all the same as out of the box, only as if through a pillow and louder. All. About "any positioning is better heard in games" - a lie. So far, it is still possible to switch to THX (it is available in the system settings when choosing a device), but it is no longer possible to configure, it is blocked . If the program from razer crashes, I don’t know. how I will use the headphones . I will return to the old ones then, probably. :( If someone is reading this and knows how to find and set up THX NOT FROM RAZER - please tell me! There seems to be a program in the Windows store, but it does not download, it gives an error. Eh. But with him, and the truth, and movies, and games, where they go more pleasantly.

Pros
  • - Lungs - 3.5 - Good microphone - With THX, with the settings through the equalizer, the sound is wonderful in them! - There is a volume control, which is convenient for me.
Cons
  • - It is impossible to use without THX, the sound is like from headphones that are not attached to the ears. No bass, with creaky mids (in my ear anyway) - THX cannot be bought in 2022. Get out to get around it however you want. - If the volume is too low, the right speaker is muted.

I bought it specifically to babahalo, as a result I got a clear high sound. For movies and music, they are generally not suitable. Well, I'll have to look elsewhere.
