I recently cane across my old gaming headphones while clearing some stuff out, an original Razer Kraken, in bright green. The comfort wasn't as bad as I remember (replaced them with an original HyperX Cloud for that reason) but they're absolutely monstrous bass cannons. I had a -6db bass shelf on all frequencies under 200Hz and they were ridiculously bassy, and it bleeds across the mids just smearing everything. Treble was ok though.
A perfect example of the why gaming headsets suck trope.
The original razer kraken were so good to me, lasted about 4 years until it just died I wasn't mad I feel like i got my moneys worth. Got Astros and they are also very good
Razer kraken pro here, i think it's wonderful, it also has live monitoring without any delay so I can hear myself a little bit, so I know when I'm breathing directly into the mic for example.
Seconding this, I have a kraken headset, and while functionally it is fine, the headband material has begun to degrade and is now flaking off.
The same thing happened with the original ear pads but they are replaceable, unfortunately the headband isn't.
Had they not used this thin faux leather the headset would have lasted a lot longer without issue.
