I have the wired Razer Kraken Kitty's, and I love em. Great quality in terms of audio (in and out) and durability (I've definitely caught the cord on my chair and pulled em off my desk and onto the floor a couple times)

I have the wired razer kraken kitty and LOVE them. Maybe it’s the wireless? I have zero issues with mine.

I have the Razer Kraken Kitty (wired) and while I didn’t have any particular problems with the sound or the microphone, the faux leather is very low quality. It started peeling off after six months of use (more or less). The headset is not cheap, so Razer should’ve done better. I guess I am deinfluencing you with this comment, but it’s better to know what to expect 😅

Not to dismiss the fact others very definitely have problems, but I had the OG Krakens with the kitty ear attachments for \~5 or so years. They were wonderful. 10/10 experience. They still work, but the mic wasn't fabulous and the paint had chipped. I bought the 'new' Kitty Krakens and they were horrific. Very small, made of plastic, very bad sound quality, ear cups were rock solid and gave me a headache. When I went to return them (Amazon), I spotted a sealed pair of the original RGB Kitty Krakens available. Hard to find, but they were my dream and I was happy to gamble. I am smitten. Even better sound quality than the OG Krakens, very lightweight, sized correctly and very adjustable. I have no problems with this headset \~4 months in. With these in particular (the wired version) I saw a lot of complaints about audio cutting out - I'm 95% sure in at least a good chunk of these cases, it's because the headset isn't getting enough power. I experienced the same problem with my headset plugged into a USB extender with other USBs in. Swapping it over to a main port fixed the issue. Just my experience with the original range of Razer headsets - avoid the new ones at all costs!!

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.
