    Razer Kraken X Ultralight Gaming Headset

    CLEAR & ACCURATE POSITIONAL AUDIO

    Equipped with 7.1 surround sound software so you can experience accurate positional audio when gaming—you’ll be able to pick up the direction of where the action is coming from so you’re ready to pounce into a gunfight. Featuring custom-tuned 40mm drivers, the Razer Kraken X produces clear and balanced sound from thundering explosions in all-out wars to subtle footsteps in stealthy covert operations.

    *Only available on Windows 10 64-bit.

    CRYSTAL CLEAR COMMUNICATION

    The flexible and bendable microphone utilizes a cardioid pattern that records sound from an area that focuses on your mouth. This helps to capture your voice with clarity while suppressing background noise from the back and sides

    • Engineered with a lightweight form factor for a near-weightless feel on your head.
    • Plush Memory Foam Cushions
    • Ideal comfort and sound isolation throughout gaming marathons.
    • Soft Headband Padding
    • Relieves pressure on your head to prevent strain.
    • Clamping Force
    • Creates a firm grip on your head to provide a comfortable and measured fit.

    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the headphones. Some mention that the sound is quite good, but could be better if the headphones held better around. They are loud at max, but not noise cancelling. The game sound works, and is very easy to hear gameplay through. However, others say that the quality is awful, and you cannot hear almost anything from outside when you have them on. The mic to work correctly, you have to either speak very loudly or basically have it on your lips.

    *EDITED REVIEW*After being declined to replace my headset since it was not considered covered by their warranty, Razer has contacted me and replaced my headset, I work in management and I tell my colleages that issues happen and is not about trying to be perfect and not have issues arise but to know how to handle them when they do, and Razer has stepped up to the plate and make things right to me so I will continue to use Razer as long as they back up their products if any issues come up, thank you Razer.Cheap product, manufacturer wont back it up, My headset started developing multiple cracks on the headband from regular use and it no longer stays on because is split and loose, i have a headset mount where i set ut after use, it has never been dropped, I applied for a repair or replacement and Razer declined my claim and said the damages are my fault, I found that to be such a cheese way to get out of the responsibility, I barely own this about 4 months, I do not recommen Razer headsets, I will go with a more reputable company later

    1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor build quality.
    Reviewed in Singapore on May 3, 2022
    Bought this headset for my 12 y.o. son in in Oct 21. He really likes this white colored Razer product and we bought a white Razer RGB headset stand and RGB mouse mat to accompany the headset.

    Cushion started tearing just after 1 month! And the headset literally broke in Apr 22. I have bought various headsets and this is the first time a headset has broke. The plastic feels flimsy and the overall build quality of the product is poor.

    if you read the reviews, i'm not the only one where the headset literally broke.

    Contacted Razer support and they refuse to honor the warranty. My son really likes the product and took good care of it (always hanging it on the headset stand). Suffice to say it's unlikely i will be buying any more Razer products in the future.
