Color: Black (USB)Style: Kraken XPattern Name: HeadsetVerified Purchase
The first thing I would like to say, is that for best sound quality in games I found I had to activate the 7.1 surround sound from the app and product key that came with the headset, had to set my computer audio to 7.1 surround sound, BUT THEN HAD TO TURN OFF THE SURROUND SOUND OPTION IN THE 7.1 SURROUND SOUND APP. I know that might not make sense but it gave me the best results. I had issues with the last two 3.5mm jack headsets I used, mute button not muting, people hearing my PC audio coming through mic, etc. So I wanted to try a USB again as I used them in the past and had no issues. This headset said Black (USB) but came with 3.5mm, but the built-in mute button works and even very loud headset audio does not playback through the mic, but for people who NEED a USB connection you should know that it does not come with one for whatever reason.

Ive been using razer products for the better portion of about 10 or more years now. I always have had amazing products and recently i broke my headset. I ordered via amazon because it was already late and i could get the product the next day, instead of rushing out to the store early in the am or worrying if i am going to make it there before closing. Anyways this product was so cheap, normally the razer headsets come with a USB port that's easy to use and insert. This particular one had a Mic and Earphone jack and i felt like i was going to break the wires trying to put these in the ports. Then none of the audio was working at all, people couldn't hear my via disc and i checked all my settings and no matter what i did nothing worked. I couldn't hear them either. Then taking the wires out of the ports was even worse as you thought you were going t5o just snap them because they didn't seem to be strong enough to properly pull out. I do not recommend this product at all. Worst in ten years. Very disappointed. Easy return service though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gute Kopfhörer
Reviewed in Germany on August 6, 2023
Color: Black (USB)Style: Kraken XPattern Name: HeadsetVerified Purchase
Ich habe die Kopfhörer für 26,99 als "Wie Neu" gekauft hier bei Amazon. Der Code für die spezielle Razer Software war auch dabei. Danke hierfür an den Händler

Die Qualität der Kopfhörer sind sehr Gut es ist zwar Kunststoff, aber es sieht nicht nach billig Ware aus.

Der Sound ist hervorragend am Pc (Über eine separate Soundkarte)
Es dringt kein Geräusch von außen, aber leider hört man auch keinen, wenn derjenige versucht mit einem zu Sprechen.
Der Tragekomfort ist ebenso Gut es drück leicht an den Seiten aber ich bin Brillenträger und sie sind ja auch neu. Daher gebe ich hier keinen Abzug, den ich habe, Kopfhörer erlebt, die schlimmer sind. Die Ohrpolster sind angenehm weich aber sie sind aus Kunststoff daher schwitzt man etwas nach längerem Tragen.
Der Sound ist Kristallklar, kein Rauschen oder ähnliches.

Für ein Gaming Headset super, aber würde ich dafür den normalen Preis von 83,- bezahlen? Nein dafür hat es mir zuviel Kunststoff.
Aber für die Knapp 26,- als Refurbished eine klare Kaufempfehlung

Después de 10 meses de uso, muy decepcionado con la calidad del material, se han empezado a romper la almohadilla en la parte de arriba y cada día se abren mas, para ser la marca que son deberían de ser mas duraderos los cascos, si es verdad que los compre en oferta y me salieron a buen precio, si lo compras sin la oferta y pagas el precio normal y encontrarse con esto de verdad que molesta un poco

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

son unos cascos muy bueno, el sonido es sorprendente, muy livianos y el microfono es flexible pero no se puede quitar, detras del audifono izquierdo hay un boton de volumen o para bloquear el microfono, en cuanto al sonido 7.1 es un sonido emulado por software, no es del todo pulido, pero vale la pena la compra, ya para algo mas especifico que se quiera recomiendo comprar los que traen el puerto usb porque en el trae la tarjeta de sonido y realmente alli esta el audio 7.1
NOTA: el modelo USB de estos cascos no traen el 7.1 integrado, es igual a estos pero por USB, yo me refiero a los cascos que son muchos mas caros que ya pasan los 100€

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing for the Price
Reviewed in India on October 25, 2020
Color: Black (USB)Style: Kraken XPattern Name: HeadsetVerified Purchase
Let me start things off with the one I got, the Kraken X ultralight, the non USB version.
*COMFORT*
I wear my headphones almost all day, and wearing these is so comfortable. These are the most comfortable pair of headphones I've ever worn. Though there is no forward/backward swivel on these, they are still very comfortable. The clamping force is perfect. It feels as if the headphones are there, but they dont squeeze your head, and the clamping force makes me feel confident that they wont fall off. The ear cups are so darn soft. They are like soft marshmallows on your ears. The padding on the headband is the same. I used to own G231's from Logitech, and though they feel comfy, they will not match up to the kraken x's in a million lightyears. There is also a sufficient room for extending the earcups, and there are also numbers to indicate the length you keep the headset at. The Branding in minimal on the sides. The top shows a big RAZER logo, but its not noticable. Even the biggest of the heads will have no problem wearing these for hours. There is also a mute button on the left earcup along with a sound control scroll wheel.

*SOUND*
The sound is also really good. Don't expect something phenomenal like DT990s. Im not saying they're not phenomenal, for the price, they definitely are. Although at first, the audio drivers messed up in my PC, so the audio was muffled, but I turned off audio enhancements in my audio control, and that fixed the audio.
In games, the audio is REALLY good for tracking opponents or players. You can clear tell where the players are. And these go LOUD. I keep them at 30% audio at all times. Even in movies or shows, if a car is coming from the left, you can hear the car in your left ear, and gradually as it comes to the center, the audio also comes to the center. The audio is a big 10/10 from me. (This was not the case with the G231s). If you're upgrading from a lower brand like red gear or cosmic byte, these will feel like a difference between heaven and earth. (to be expected).
For music, they're decent, because the main purpose is gaming. The bass is slightly off, but not terrible at all. You can use these to edit videos without a problem, but if you're into audio production as your main reason to buy these, dont. For gaming, entertaintment, editing videos etc, go for them. You wont regret it at all.

*Build Quality*
Though they're mainly plastic (even the adjustment rail)to maintain the 'ultralight name', they don't feel flimsy at all. They feel solid, of course, dont throw them around. The construction feels solid, and the plastic is premium, with all matte finish, except for the RAZER text on top, which is glossy. Ive used them for 10 days, not a single fingerprint on them yet. Not a single scratch either. The texture is a bit grainy, but you wont notice it when touching it. It feels smooth.

*Mic*
The mic is decent. Nothing outstanding, but it gets the job done very well. The mic doesnt swivel, but it has a very flexible arm. The mic sounds really good on mobile, there is ZERO background static/audio. But only on phones. On PC, it has some levels of bzzzzzzzt noises, (in audacity audio software) but in games, the audio is clear. No muffles or anything like that. Its one of the best onboard headset mics.

*7.1*
The 7.1 is emulated via a software, so its kinda imperfect. I personally don't use it. It increases audio by 20%, and does sound a tad bit more balanced on both ears. Its good... In most cases. In one game (Minecraft JAVA), I noticed that when I turned my back to a Juke Box/sound source, the audio just fades down drastically. In valorant, its not that bad. Would use it at times. Overall, its a good addition.

*Overall*
If youre looking to upgrade from something like Cosmic Byte or Red Gear, its a no brainer. Go for it. If you have to choose between logitech or HyperX or Corsair for the similar/same price, I'd recommend you to buy these. They're slightly better in each category than all the other brands. The corsair HS35/40's have trash mics. The Logitechs g231s are a bit on the heavy side.(not taxing at all though) The hyperX stingers are fine, still Razer takes the crown. If you can buy the Cloud 2s, or the HS50, or the Gpro, then buy those. These Kraken Xs are a mid range budget headsets. And could give decent competition to the high end headsets such as above mentioned (But wont beat them). Overall, really amazing for the price.

EDIT
After 6 months of use, the head band cracked, and I have seen multiple people experience this, the crack appears at the same exact spot on every headset. I haven't been aggressive with the headset at all but it still appeared for some reason. have not figured out why it happened. The audio is still really good. I'll update if possible
