I tried Cloud 3 , razer blackshark v2 pros, and razer Krakens with hypersense. I went with the Razer Krakens.

They are fine, I went from the razer V3 to these, and honestly, I prefer the logitechs. The razer had better overall sound, not by much, but the build quality sucked.

I’m no audiophile. I’ve had high end gaming headsets, Razer Kraken Haptic, Steelseries Nova Wireless Pro and Astro A50 gen 5. Got intrigued by this planar magnetic technology so I have had the Maxwell 2 for the last couple of months. Felt like I lost the bass from the other headsets but quickly realized I gained better bass. The bass had more detail so did every other sound source from the games I play. Mostly playing Arc Raiders and heard the details from rain, lightning and more depth in explosions and firing weapons. I now feel that the other headsets had the sounds in a muddy way. Just a lot of nice bass. Also my friend sometimes wonder how I’m able to hear enemies when he can’t but we are right beside each other. He has a mid level steelseries headset.

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.
