Seeing the sale on Alienware pros for 150 and razer kraken v4 pro fro 250 which is more worth in your opinion I have tried v4 pros and I kinda like them and their build quality seems solid
Im using krakenv4 pro Im happy
The Razer Kraken V4 Pro or the Skullcandy Plyr 720, with their haptic feedback, take single-player games to a whole new level.
Kraken V4 has the shittiest mic of 2025 hands down.
If you like the skullcrusher the kraken v3 pro has more responsive haptics from 20hz to 200hz and are tuned better and also 2.4ghz so lower latency than Bluetooth also with a option to go wired aswell Probably will get downvoted to hell for suggesting razer but it's a v shaped sound profile with haptics by lofelt But for iems the cvj konoka, assassin and I think they do one more with haptic drivers I own both the kraken and konoka and while I like the convenience of the konoka being a iem the haptics only kick in around the 200hz ish mark so it doesn't measure up to the experience of the over ears although I was never expecting them too obviously due to their relative haptic motor sizes and my days people talk about razer being bass bloated the 125hz on the kraken v3 pro is 6db more than "neutral out of the box but the konoka is 8-9 these sound god awful without a eq whereas the kraken just sounds kinda enclosed due to the bass boost out of the box but not bassy as to ruin the overall neutrality like the konoka even with the ba turned on its not enough to overcome the overwhelming bass it's like standing outside a nightclub listening through the door where as the kraken at least sounds like your inside the club but once you get a nice eq on the krakens (it doesn't take much) oh my lord! plus the steel headband and leatherette covering is super comfy and strong only downside really is the plastic hinges they're a bit fragile so just don't do no pressing on them or they'll split but replacements are easy to get via AliExpress Doesn't have Bluetooth or anc but the passive noise cancelling is good and while the v4 has Bluetooth and haptics they're a downgrade in every possible way and cost 400
My Razer Kraken V4 snapped when, I kid you not, I took them off and set them down on my desk to answer the door. I'm glad to see the back of them, to be honest. Decent audio quality for a gaming headset, but they disconnected and failed to pair again CONSTANTLY, so I'm sort of glad they're a gonner. I'm slowly going to start phasing Razer products out of my setup.
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.
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.
