The microphone

ear cushions cool and comfortable to wear over time

Audio sounded rather stale with no impact on bass even
Sony TV Wi-Fi No Internet Access Issue
clearly lacking and there was an endless beeping sound coming
it is a bit pricey
perhaps no better than the speakers on a high-end TV
no ability to adjust sound settings
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
be the best headphones to wear for long gaming sessions
they re a bit tight
treble lacks some presence and detail
Bass delivery varies significantly across users
hash will not be made public
The headset itself is a bit larger and bulkier than I had anticipated
They sounded muddy and lacked any real clarity
headsets or headphones can get quite uncomfortable after prolonged use
attention to detail in every corner of the box
the USB controller doesn't have any on-board memory to store
seal feel a little bit wobbly
pricey USB sound card
unmodified sound-and Synapse is no help
Not every Razer product is built on gimmicks though
cabling is less awkward
V2's bass response pretty anemic
too many settings that it can feel daunting
Synapse is still a little inconvenient
Kraken Tournament Edition is no way small
large and look bulky
rather large design with oversized ear cups and thick ear pads
my ears still got warm when it was hot
it has a hard time blocking out bass-heavy noises
controller s features only work with PCs
You cannot remove or replace the headset
real audio leakage
they completely square you off from the outside world
the green elements on the headset are a bit too much
no inbuilt noise cancellation techniques to let you escape from ambient noise
the microphone is too quiet
the microphone is a letdown
lose out on enough not to be able to justify the price tag
The microphone is not detachable
it was rather tricky to adjust the bass response
Nothing too eye-catching included in its aesthetics
it will eventually lose its adhesive properties
headset line too much over the past few years
the audio cable doesn't connect directly to a computer - or
its features may sometimes go a little off-point
it lacks the folding capability of some of its rivals
small beats and nuances
Kraken s cushions didn t press too hard on my ears
all the additional features like THX are only available on PC
painful clamping force that some other headsets come with from the factory floor
it lacks the refinement of other headsets
cushioned headband is not very thick
no on- rcup lights or controls
audio tuning sounds less balanced
relatively short three-foot cable is permanently attached to the headset
the leatherette material can become uncomfortable over time
any headset under 70 dollars is horrible
The THX volume controller only works for PC players
headsets but this felt like I was now being robbed

High quality construction, crystal-clear audio, a plethora of customisation options, comfort… everything you’d usually expect from a Razer accessory. Usually. Although the Kraken does deliver on the above promises, it also suffers from issues atypical to Razer products. We’ll get into that as …
