Review on Razer Kraken Gaming Headset: Lightweight Aluminum Frame - Retractable Noise Isolating Microphone - For PC by Sai A Nyi ᠌

The headphones were in operation for a little less than a year, did not drop, did not throw. Cons, I'll start in order: -Surround sound 7.1 - it just didn't work for me. 2 times reinstalled the software, all according to the instructions. As a result, I got a surround sound tab in the output sources, but I didn’t play system sounds, and when I tried to turn on any audio content in the browser, there was either deathly silence or the browser hung tightly; -After half a year of operation, problems with the microphone began. Everywhere (discord, skype, voice chat in the game), the interlocutors began to hear me badly and ask me several times for each phrase I uttered; -Volume wheel on headphones. From the very beginning, it was impossible to reduce the volume to 0. Barely noticeable sounds could still be heard. Later, the wheel became impossible to twist to the maximum - an imbalance appeared between the right and left ears, and in order to catch it, you need to try very hard. - Mic mute button. It works, but when it is activated, my interlocutors often complain that they hear all the sounds that the PC broadcasts to my headphones. Later, the defect began to appear even with the microphone turned on - perhaps here we should once again “praise” the connection system via 3.5 minijack combo; - Well, the cherry on the cake - for 11 months of operation, it first cracked, and then the left earpiece burst. At the time of writing this review, I’m sitting with headphones rewound with electrical tape and looking at other brands. How long these headphones will last is unknown. But if you want to buy headphones not for 1 year, do not consider Razer, and even more so this model.
