Razer - Kraken Kitty V2 BT

in general i find razer headsets to be the most comfy with my glasses! i have the kitty bluetooth headset and i’ve never had pain or discomfort with my glasses

I have razer kraken kitty ones and I have honestly had a lot of problems with them. Mine are the wireless ones so I’m not sure if that plays a part or not. It has connectivity issues quite often and the cushion on the band comes off super easy. I am thinking about getting a regular headset and the ear attachments for my next pair.

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!!

I used the wired pink Razer Kraken headphones with the ears attachment for years and was sooo happy with them - until my fat potato of a cat decided that the cable looked tasty. After that, I only had sound in one ear, and they had to be retired. I tried the Bluetooth version, but I was NOT happy with them - they were a lot tighter on the sides of my head, and the sound quality was very poor in comparison to my original pair, so they were promptly returned. So, while I guess I can’t make a recommendation for a pink set (I’m currently using the Logitech Aurora headphones and am very happy with them, but they are white and sadly lack any kitty ears options! 😭), I’m making an *anti*-recommendation and suggesting you stay away from anything Razer that uses Bluetooth. They’re just not worth it, even if they’re pretty!

While I don’t have the Razer blackshark, I did have the Kraken at one point. It was pretty decent in terms of mic quality and sound quality but I’ve been told that it’s mediocre in terms of price. I only got the Kraken for the cat ears so I can’t complain

Mine are razer! They’re the kraken kitty ones, they were around 90$

Currently, I use the Razer Kraken V4. It's wireless with either 2.4 Ghz USB-C dongle or Bluetooth. it can also be used with a wired connection, which simultaneously charges it. There is a cheaper option in Razer Kraken V4X, which is a solely wired version. I've both headsets and have had no issues with either. I also quite like the Blackshark V2 Pro. The mic is noticeably better on the Blackshark vs the Krakens, in my experience. However, the mic on the Krakens I own is retractable, which is a big selling point for me. My first ever headset was the Razer Kitty Kraken. Honestly loved it to bits, especially customising the cat ears' RGB, so I can also recommend it if you want something cute. It comes in black, white and pink versions. I'm not sure if the other Razer headsets do, but I absolutely know for certain the Kitty Kraken does! In the past, I've also used Steelseries Arctis 1 and Arctis 5. Both were serviceable, but I feel as though the audio was tinny. The only reason I bring these up two up is because Razer products can be quite expensive, and Steelseries options are affordable whilst still offering similar features (wireless, wired, Bluetooth, detachable and/or retractable mic, etc...) whilst being cheaper. They are also much lighter on ear/in general compared to the Razer headsets. Hope this helps! Would love to know what you go for!

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

I always use Razer Kraken, last me years

Been using the Razer Kraken headset for years now and it's pretty good.
