Kraken 7.1 Surround Sound USB Gaming Headset

You can purchase a DAC that connects to the computer through usb-c, and then have a small 3.5 mm running to the DAC sitting on your desktop. You may have to research more on this because I've never actually done this myself but only wanted to and saw others do it. Myself I use razer kraken 7.1 V2 from around 2015. The sound isn't perfect, but I use the EQ to tweak what I need. I recommend only a tad bit of bass and balanced sound over all. Loud AK's for long sessions can tire out the ears. Tweak the in game settings as well as they are important for locating enemies on the 3D soundscape, which can be hard to do in CS2. In short, an EQ and tweaking in game settings can remedy about 70% of your sound issues. Razer Krakens are not high scale headphones by any means.

I wasn’t trying to defend razer, I’ve just been surprised because I was always happy with their products. I had a kraken 7.1 v2 whatever and it lasted 4 years and then I gave it to a friend when I got an interface, xlr mic and studio headphones

Hows yours holding up? Mine legit just fell apart on me after less than 6 months. Wish it had the same build quality as my original Kraken from 5 years ago that I "upgraded" from.

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.

I had a pair of Razer Krakens (wired) back in 2015 and they were absolutely spectacular for non gaming use. I've used a lot of flagship headphones and I still look back really fondly on the pair.

I've had 2 gaming headsets, first it was a Steelseries Siberia, then a Razer Kraken, but then I got to know someone at work who is into sound. He convinced me to buy a HD 650 and by god it was a different tier. It was so comfortable, but 5-6 years ago I've changed it to a HD 800, purely because the same friend sold it to me £500, pretty much half price and he took good care of them too.

I got my razer kraken 6 years ago for 80€ and still love them
