Not saying I don’t believe you but I bought the razr kraken tournament edition like 5 years ago and they’re still great.
Hi guys! I’ve recently got back into siege after a couple years out, and my headphones rn aren’t cutting it! I been wanting to upgrade my headphones for ages now and would ideally like something that’s good for gaming ( mainly siege) and music as well as I’m always listening to diff music. I was debating closed back but then found out about the spatial sounds u get with open back so now idk anymore lol, just with open back I don’t want something where people around me can hear everything I’m listening to! Also any sound settings or just tips in general to help me hear more in game would be amazing! Any suggestions guys plz help!!
Yeah I’ve come across these headphones when researching before. They’re around the same price point as the ones I’ve got now (Razer Kraken tournament edition),and look relatively the same with head band and earphones etc!
Yeah damn there’s been a couple ppl in here saying about iems so will defo hav a look! Trouble is I’ve never rlly got on with them personally, they always end up hurting the inside of my ear after a couple hours of use or just all out if I move around 😭! Might just be that I got bad quality ones tho icl
Yeah just said to someone else that a fair few ppl been recommending iems which actually surprised me as I never thought they would be better then some headphones for directional sound! And that’s interesting about closed backs being not great of the quality side, I always thought that the sound being closed in would’ve made it easier to hear directional, but that’s prolly me not being the smartest in this area lmao! And yeah my bad just posted by budget in the comments, max £200
Just looked up the K712 and I see what u mean with the sound pressure and bass ppl say about that a lot. Yeah I think ppl on here hav swayed me to open backs as well. Also I believe I’ve already got a dedicated soundcard when I first built my pc, but will just double check. Thanks for the info tho!
Had great luck with razer’s mice in the past so i recently picked up their kracken headset and its good so far
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.
I have a really cheap razer headset. the kraken. the one hated by audiophiles. Its working fine so maybe you are unlucky idk.
mine are now starting to crack. so annoying,
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.
