Not to dismiss the fact others very definitely have problems, but I had the OG Krakens with the kitty ear attachments for \~5 or so years. They were wonderful. 10/10 experience. They still work, but the mic wasn't fabulous and the paint had chipped. I bought the 'new' Kitty Krakens and they were horrific. Very small, made of plastic, very bad sound quality, ear cups were rock solid and gave me a headache. When I went to return them (Amazon), I spotted a sealed pair of the original RGB Kitty Krakens available. Hard to find, but they were my dream and I was happy to gamble. I am smitten. Even better sound quality than the OG Krakens, very lightweight, sized correctly and very adjustable. I have no problems with this headset \~4 months in. With these in particular (the wired version) I saw a lot of complaints about audio cutting out - I'm 95% sure in at least a good chunk of these cases, it's because the headset isn't getting enough power. I experienced the same problem with my headset plugged into a USB extender with other USBs in. Swapping it over to a main port fixed the issue. Just my experience with the original range of Razer headsets - avoid the new ones at all costs!!

Have to second this about the first gen rgb kitty krakens wired. I’ve had a pair for years still good condition, great sound quality. Only reason I stopped using them is I have pretty bad chronic TMJ and wearing headphones for too long always gives me issues. The headphones themselves are heavier than most though still comfortable; but with my TMJ it causes issues faster, meaning I had to wear them less, unfortunately. I have since bought a pair of Sony WH-CH720Ns partly for helping with my Autism & ADHD when out in public but the ear cuffs also don’t sit directly on my jaw joins so that helps drastically with my TMJ issues and I can wear them a lot longer then other headphones I’ve had in the past. (They also sound great)

i think my opinions going to be very unpopular, but i have the razor kraken kitty headset & its worked wonderfully for me for the past 1+ years. my audio is great, & when its up loud you dont hear it much from the outside if that makes sense. the mic is honestly not bad either, ive never had anyone say they couldnt hear me, someone asked me what mic i had before bc it sounded good. the headset also doesnt do that annoying thing where your mic picks up the headsets audio & echos things back thru the mic. my bf has a steel series headset & his does it ALL the time. ik ppl shit on razor a lot, & tbh i havent really used any of their other products, but that specific headset works great. i still use it to this day

I also had Kraken Kitty and they took a beating - lasted me at least 3 years.

I have the wired Razer Kraken Kitty's, and I love em. Great quality in terms of audio (in and out) and durability (I've definitely caught the cord on my chair and pulled em off my desk and onto the floor a couple times)

I have the wired razer kraken kitty and LOVE them. Maybe it’s the wireless? I have zero issues with mine.

I have the Razer Kraken Kitty (wired) and while I didn’t have any particular problems with the sound or the microphone, the faux leather is very low quality. It started peeling off after six months of use (more or less). The headset is not cheap, so Razer should’ve done better. I guess I am deinfluencing you with this comment, but it’s better to know what to expect 😅
