not discount the microphone
turn red when the mic is active and will turn off when it s on mute
1 Chroma to be too bass heavy
no carrying bag
no cable adapters
no extenders
have lost some point of intensity
lacks a lot of the more garish visual flare typical of gaming peripherals
lower-pitched voices may sound a little weaker than they should
mic s tip will light up red when it is muted
The headphones lack a horizontal left-right hinge
no random jagged edges or obnoxious streaks of clashing colors
it falls a little short on comfort and software
you cannot set up individual profiles
background noise was hardly audible
defaults to the calibration screen every single time you open
It has become increasingly obnoxious
impedes on mid-range elements
and distorts vocal and acoustic sections
it was very sensitive to rubs and knocks against the braided cable
very small and a bit fiddly
Kraken headset is definitely on the heavier side
the wire off the USB connection has come right off
quality is abysmal
the volume was too quiet
Feels cheap and a regretful purchase
there is a mute button at the tip of the microphone
it s difficult to praise a gaming headset
This site uses Akismet to reduce spam
how fragile and uncomfortable the headset can actually be
only have spectrum cycle lighting effects
smaller than the padded circles on these headphones
leatherette padding can get a bit stuffy and sticky on warmer days
somewhat underwhelming performance
ears would get sweaty on warmer days
lack of reliability is the main factor for its mediocre score
No cherry-picked units sent by manufacturers
more complex mixes seem a bit lifeless
USB version's 6-foot cable can feel a bit limiting by comparison
It leans a bit heavy on the mids and treble range
