Product description
Razer Kraken X USB Digital Surround Sound Gaming Headset allows you to game on and on and on. With its comfortable, lightweight design and superior audio, you'll never want your gaming marathons to end. Equipped with 7.1 surround sound, this USB gaming headset provides more precise positional audio, so you'll always get an accurate direction of where the action is happening to be better prepared for any engagement. Engineered to be extremely light at just 275g, this PC gaming headset's slim form factor is complemented by a suite of features to achieve a near-weightless feel on your head. Enjoy crystal clear communication with a bendable cardioid microphone that utilizes a pick-up pattern which records sound from an extremely localized area in front of your mouth, while suppressing background noise from the back and sides. The microphone mute button and volume slider are easily accessible underneath the left earcup, so you can tweak and toggle on the fly. Turn on the style as you light up the competition with a menacing, green light that radiates from each earcup. The superior sound clarity and punchy bass simulate a wide soundscape when gaming. From subtle footsteps to powerful explosions, in-game audio is delivered in lifelike detail. Frequency response: 20 Hz – 20 kHz. Sensitivity (1 kHz): 106 dB.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My colleagues say my voice is crystal clear. The sound is fine for meetings. It's not as comfy as my pair of Bose QC35s, I feel the quality of the ead pads aren't as soft, but for the price it's still amazing.
One thing to consider is the mic is a bendable arm so you can't just swivel the mic away entirely like other headsets. This wasn't really an issue for me as having the mic arm always there didn't bother me and I didn't really notice it, it's pretty thin. In fact for me it was a feature because my voice was a bit loud (even though I dialled it down in the software settings) and I fixed it by moving the mic slightly further away from my mouth. If the mic arm was fixed I couldn't have done this, so it was a lucky feature for me.
Also 7.1 is fake.
These aren't anything more than a pair of stereo headphones, 2.0
Ok value but claiming to be more than it is
Love the steel frame, hope it doesn't break like my last headset

Sound Quality
The sound quality is phenomenal, all reviews say “for this affordable price, the sound quality is great”, but I don’t think that is fair, I believe the sound quality is great for 3 times the price of these headphones. Everything is crisp and clear. In addition to this, something I did not expect, these headphones are great for movie watch and music as well! The bass shakes the headphones but doesn’t overshadow the trebles and the highs. The 7.1 surround system software that you can download (with the activation code provided with the purchase) works like a charm and is perfect for fps and campaign gaming.
Comfort
These headphones are ultra light and have such a compact build, they feel super comfortable on your head and ears. They have a tight fit but with all the padding, you can barely feel the headphones. These are perfect for long hours of gaming, so obviously ideal for these times with everyone being in lockdown and gaming for 12+ hours a day! Also the mic is easy to move around and very flexible which is always a good feature to have.
Noise Cancellation
Obviously there isn’t active noise cancellation technology on these headphones but if Razer said there is, they would’ve gotten away with it! You can barely hear things around you, I have a (extremely) loud mechanical keyboard and I cannot hear it at all which is just great. Makes me so immersed in the gameplay and focus on nothing but that.
Bass
I think everyone can figure out the theme of this review by now! Everything is amazing! That goes for the bass as well. As I mentioned, the bass can be strong enough to shake the headphones but doesn’t overshadow all the other sound fx. In gaming, especially for fps games like CSGO and COD, these headphones will be extremely useful as the footsteps are loud and clear and with the amazing surround system, you’ll never have to guess which way the enemy is coming from.
Mic Quality
Speechless! Which is kind of an ironic thing to say for this part of the review. Like I said, I have a very very very loud mechanical keyboard and as you can imagine, all my friends are always complaining, so I would have to put my mic input level to the point where they can barely hear me. With the Kraken X, the mic picks up nothing but my
voice, and it is so sharp and clear and all my
friends noticed it straight away. I tested it out on discord and couldn’t believe how good my voice sounds!
Bonus!
These headphones look so cool, with a matte black finish and lit green Razer logos on the sides.
Verdict
Would definitely without a shadow of a doubt recommend these to anyone who is looking for headphones, cheap or expensive! I addition to this, the warranty is amazing and the Razer customer support is fast and reliable.
Great experience all around!

Das Headset fühlt sich durch das gesamte Plastik bereits billig an. Dafür ist das Headset sehr leicht.
Die Klangqualität ist schlechter als beim alten Headset und das virtuelle surround ist fast gleich auf mit Stereo, trotz der Installation von der entsprechenden Surround Software.
Definitiv würde ich von diesem Headset abraten. Es ist sein Geld nicht wert.



Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 September 2020



So Razor blew it, and then Microsoft blew it too! Tat is why, I am currently giving them only one star, as I have just spent £50 on hardware that I cannot even use, and the company that sold them to me has set up a perfect website system where they are not contactable. Very shading business dealings by both Razer and Microsoft. This is my first experience of a Razer product, so far I would not recommend to anyone, because these are pretty much specifically built for windows 10 64 bit (if you want the virtual 7.1 to work at all) and currently they will not work on that operating system, except as mere headphones, but NOT as a headset!
In my book that is an old fashioned swindle!
Additional. I was told by Microsoft that this issue would be fixed with their next update, it was not, now my computer will not recognise the headphones at all, and they do weird things to my computer when I plug them in like stopping videos from playing and generally killing audio on my computer. Even though the company offers zero support for the UK because their website is incorrectly coded, they have a facebook page, but they are ignoring my repeated requests for help on there.
Eventually they got back to me on the facebook page ad gave me incorrect information on how to fix the headphones. They will not reply again, so not only is this dodgy company trying to sell a device that they say is built for windows 10, but does not work on windows 10 at all, and they do not care if their product works or not.
TERRIBLE PRODUCT THT DOES NOT WORK
TERRIBLE COMPANY WHO IGNORE YOU
ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE
RIP OFF MERCHANTS
HOW THIS GOT AMAZONS CHOICE WHEN IT DOES NOT WORK SERIOUSLY MAKES ME THINK AMAZONS CHOICE IS NOT BASED ON ACTUAL RESEARCH, BUT A BRIBE FROM THE COMPANY MOST LIKELY BECAUSE HOW CAN YOU RECOMMEND A PRODUCT THAT DOES NOT WORK?
So, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL!
