in-depth reviews and helpful tips

lower-pitched voices may sound a little weaker than they should
lacks a lot of the more garish visual flare typical of gaming peripherals
The headphones lack a horizontal left-right hinge
mic s tip will light up red when it is muted
PS4 with a very long cord
Not every game uses the same sound profile
not discount the microphone
mild discomfort on my ears after about two consecutive hours at the computer
The mute button is difficult to find without looking
no random jagged edges or obnoxious streaks of clashing colors
any fancy features or displays in there
all the additional features like THX are only available on PC
cushioned headband is not very thick
it lacks the refinement of other headsets
Their wired connection is prone to catching on things while running
painful clamping force that some other headsets come with from the factory floor
An inline control is also missing
it s just a virtual surround sound
slightly lacking in terms of brightness
Low-treble is severely underemphasized
it is heavier than plastic
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
The head beam is a bit heavy
have any companion software and have a somewhat limited control scheme
less powerful bass and a less impressive mic
audio profile is definitely heavy on the bass
Feels cheap and a regretful purchase
the volume was too quiet
the wire off the USB connection has come right off
quality is abysmal
felt downright soft and light
its questionable appearance is not a deal breaker
turn red when the mic is active and will turn off when it s on mute
few design paint points get in the way of greatness
not small
slightly too chunky to be considered portable
Kraken is a pricey headset
