less powerful bass and a less impressive mic

low-bass
they struggle to produce satisfying thump and rumble

V3 leak less audio at high volumes
noise isolation is poor

relegated to the aforementioned control box
a clumsy solution

its connectivity is limited to just USB
The padding on these is very soft to touch
are muddy and hollow at the same time
Video Below that button is the volume dial

Neither heavy basses nor clear highs get through
The factory setting is rather mediocre
Razer Nari is too expensive in my country
Spatial Audio cannot be switched on with any of these consoles
the USB has to be connected directly to the console
no shooting or dialogue barks to distract from the clacking
Stiff
leatherette cushions-or too little cushion

Sound quality Slightly imperfect fit No chat mix Mic
lack of a chat mix for the price point
don't have to manually switch EQ profiles each time

The headset would look a little out of place on a subway or a bus
keyboard noises in the background
flashing LEDs aren t aggressive here
Synapse is still a little inconvenient
Synapse is pretty clunky

The Kraken Ultimate looks pretty good, sounds pretty good, and is priced pretty good. That's not enough to stand out, but you can't go wrong with it either. And hey, at least Razer finally added a volume wheel.
