Using Razer kraken 7.1 since 2021. It has a cold gel ear cushion & mostly I use it for long sessions because of gaming & sound enhancement. Except the leather everything is pretty fine & still works perfectly. I don't know much about Logitech but you can go with the hyperx series if it comes under 5k. The only downside is it doesn't have a retractable mic ( cloud stinger x ) which can be pretty annoying if you want a clean headphone look Sennheiser hd400s is under 5k now. It has a pretty decent sound range also, So you can check that out too.

r/pcmasterraceWireless Gaming Headset Upgrade – Looking for Recommendations

I had a Razer Nari still in the box catching rays in my closet when my Kraken 7.2 pooped the bed and have been using that. I’ve had a lot of dropped audio and crackling despite the USB dongle being a solid 4 ft or less from the headphones. The fix for some of those issues is kind of nebulous but I should probably do my due diligence before searching for alternatives. As an aside, if I get an alert of low battery on the Razer set I switch to my Bluetooth Beats and it’s all good.

r/playstationCan anyone recommend a good sound quality, fairly cheap headset for PS5?

Razer Kraken V2. I'm on my second set in 8 years. It has a little bit more of a bass-y sound than i think a lot of other headsets do (which i like), and the mic is retractable and mutable in-line. Also the pads have a gel like substance in them i think, that helps keep them cooler longer. And if you wear glasses like I do they work well while wearing them.

I like the razer wired kraken with the mic that lights up when it is muted.

I love the wired razor series I’ve had a few and friends often comment how crisp and clean mine sounds and never have to recharge. Meanwhile in big gaming sessions they have to talk through their remote because their headset dies

Honestly I have no idea what any of the ones I’ve ever had were. But both have lasted me over 5 years. Who comes up with the naming of them anyway. Kraken I believe is my current one

r/pcmasterraceBest wired gaming headphones?
5 months ago

I have razer kraken wired version bc tbh I can't hear the difference between something like that and the audiophile headphones. I turned off the bass boost and it sounds great to me for what I need it for - game audio and being in voice with my friends - and I like a built in mic instead of a desktop stand mic. Background isolation seems good as it doesn't transmit my bf talking in the same room. Comfy enough to wear for 8 hours at a time also, but I dont wear glasses so if you do can't vouch for that.

r/razerBest Razer Gaming Headset for Xbox and Playstation?
7 months ago

If you want it to work on both, you'll need a wired one. Xbox has its on proprietary wireless connection and the PS5 ones just use a 2.5 GHZ dongle. Both the Kraken and BlackShark come in wired versions. The Kiara might also, but I think the Kiara is the less expensive model. I found the BlackShark to be more comfortable as the Kraken is kind of heavy, but the Kraken sounds better to me.

I used razer kraken for years and was pretty happy with them, very comfy too However if you want really good audio get some seinheissers and a separate mic for chatting, non gaming headphones are way better quality and value for money, but often don't have a microphone
