Razer - Kraken 7.1 V2

Used to be better back in the day, I had to switch when the 3 didn’t have a 7.1 counterpart and they all sounded bad and felt plasticky. I bought hd600 from Sennheiser and finally I’m satisfied again. Still miss the kraken 2 7.1

My first piece of gaming equipment was a pair of Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 USB headphones (the sleek Mercury white color) and I thought it was the best headphones in the world, simply because the white color looked nice, the retractable microphone was cool, it was comfortable and you saw YouTubers (pewds) wearing them with the stupid cat ears and you just had to have them… Fast forward a few years and I’m realizing Razer headphones were more sizzle than steak. Sure they look cool (for the most part) but the sound is nothing special. It wasn’t until I bought another set of premium gaming headphones did I realize that Razer basically markets to the average gaming consumer and banks on them not realizing what a good solid set of headphones should sound like. I bought a SteelSeries Arctis 7 wireless PC headphones and they sound a lot better than anything Razer has made. I don’t want to sound like I’m just shilling for SteelSeries but it really is true. My keyboard is a Corsair K70 MK.2 SE and my mouse is still a wireless Razer Viper Ultimate (I really like white) so I don’t have a brand I’m dedicated too. I basically just go on RTINGS dot com and buy whatever has the best ratings. My Arctis 7 headphones are still running strong and the sound is 10 times better than a Razer headset. Honestly, if Razer brought back its “Mercury White” theme, I might consider trying out a new headset but I’m just gonna go with whatever Reddit thinks is good

Funny thing, that non-Pro version has better earcups (fabric ones).

Should’ve included the razer krakens instead of the black sharks. Way more people have them and probably would’ve been top of the list from the comments and upvotes I’ve seen throughout reddit
