Razer - Kraken V3 Pro

From what I’ve noticed, everyone has their own opinions on headphones. I would recommend finding a place with a good return policy (not GameStop) and purchase a few to test out. I did this with the Razer Kraken V3 Pro and the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3. I used them both for about an hour and found things I hated that I wouldn’t have known if I had just stuck with one. I kept the Turtle Beaches since I play Xbox and PC, which it comes with two transmitters so it can switch simultaneously. The Swarm II software (on PC) is very easy to use and the EQ is very customizable. Build quality feels solid, but coming from the Razer Kraken V2 Pro (my previous headset I used for years), it has a little more plastic than my liking. Other then my personal preference of wanting a heavier metal headset, the 700 Gen 3 have been wonderful for my setup.

Ive had some trash luck with headsets. But here we go: Corsair HS80 has been my favorite so far. Good sound, loud, decent surround with dolby atmos. Floating headband not for everyone but I find it comfy. Razer Kraken v3 pro, the hypersense is fun, but the battery life is pitiful and my synapse would never recognize it. Razer Blackshark 2023 pro. Comfy, ok sound, not loud enough for me. Steelseries Arctis 5. Sonar can step on a pile of D4s and legos. Headset sounds good, software just too annoying for my liking. Would constantly change my non headset sound settings. Turtle Beach Atlas Air. A rare open back wireless headset. Sounds great, also software issues. If I went to change the volume it'd go from 0 to 100 or 100 to 0. couldn't get that to change. Would do it if I set it in windows or on the headset. If they'd all work perfect, The turtle beach sounded best to me. HS80 is a close second. Decent mic on it, would recommend a desktop mic if you're worried about that though.

Bought a pair of razer krakens’s 4 years ago and they’ve never let me down, brilliant all round headset, absolutely superb for PUBG the cooling pads on them are still cool to this day, paints coming away as expected with a 4 year old headset but they’re still holding up zero issues, used them on my PC when I had that, phenomenal on that aswell, £50 they set me back

I just picked up the Razer Kraken V3 Pro, and honestly, it's the best headset I've used yet. The bass is deep and powerful, the mids/Highs are crystal clear, and they are super comfortable.

Most gamers who's not into these stuff just want to plug in a USB dongle and call it a day. While I love my HD598, gaming on my Kraken V3 pro is just way too convenient

I switch between a Kraken V3 Pro and a Logitech Z333 2.1 set putting out 80 watts rms. The headphones are less distracting but the soundstage of desktop speakers is more enjoyable.

Wireless the way to go. I have a wired Razer Kraken 3 which has good sound and comfort but not so much a quality build. Headband snapped, wire wore out, pleather wearing out. Good thing I got it as a gift. +1 for any Steel Series Arctis wireless as well. I ended up buying cheap $30 wireless from Amazon which works fine but not the same as a headset that has software to go with it. Even with Razer Kraken, the sound quality is better if you have a Dolby Atmos license (~$10?) for the virtual surround sound enhancements vs the Windows Sonic which is built into Windows.

Wondering if you were using 7.1 channel? Razor especially sounds terrible in stereo. I agree with your review as someone with kraken v2, v3 and everything in between. The piercing highs is new, but massive bass muddling the sound is a razer specialty

Should’ve included the razer krakens instead of the black sharks. Way more people have them and probably would’ve been top of the list from the comments and upvotes I’ve seen throughout reddit
