Razer Kraken X. Cost you about £40-50 and are perfect for the job. They're wired though, I know a lot of people have an issue with that, but I personally prefer having one less device to charge up.

Devout Razer Kraken headset hater here: the $100ish wired pink headset was the worst gaming headset I’ve ever owned, broke within 3 months in several different ways, and the mic quality was poor compared to other headsets of the same price range. Customer Support also ran me in circles until I gave up. I’m honestly shocked (but glad!) to hear your experience is going well! 😭

I bought the Corsair HS80 after experiencing severe pain with my Razr Kraken headset. I wear glasses and have found the HS80 to be quite comfortable, even for long gaming sessions.

r/GirlGamersWhat headset would you recommend?

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

r/pcmasterraceBest wired gaming headphones?
5 months ago

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.

r/razerBest Razer Gaming Headset for Xbox and Playstation?
7 months ago

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.

r/gamersWhat brand of gaming headset is the best?

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
