Kraken Tournament Edition

Any reason you want a over ear "gaming" headphone? If not then get an IEM for the same price... 30x better sound quality with even better surround. You will be able to tell exactly where the footsteps are and you can also boost the specific footstep frequency to hear footsteps more clearly.. Plus studio grade sound quality for similar price... There is no "gaming" headphone... Do not fall for gimmicks. Speaking from personal exp... I have a Razer Electra V2, a Razer Kraken tournament edition and a HyperX cloud earbuds... After i got the IEMs i use now ( salnotes 7hz zero - the crinacle one) i simply packed those headphones and they are gathering dust right now... Those were headphones worth 4k, 6k and 3.5k respectively... Meanwhile the IEMs were 1.8k..... I curse my ignorant young self who was running after the GAMING tag back then... What an idiot i was....

Razor Kraken Tournament Edition is a total outlier among the rest of the Razer lineup and holds up extremely well, mine finally crashed out after 5 years of daily use & abuse and I bought another!

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

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.

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 always use Razer Kraken, last me years
