    Customers like the sound quality and comfort of the headphones.

    Customers like the sound quality of the headphones. For example, they say the sound is very good, the sound canceling is pretty good, and the volume does get loud enough that you can actually use the headset. The mic is very well done and people can hear you all the time. The ear cups are spacious and encircle your entire ear with room to move around.

    An honest review of the Razer Kraken X, one of the best for it's price!

    An honest review of the Razer Kraken X, one of the best for it's price!
    (Don't worry if this review looks too long, I included a TLTR (Too Long To Read) at the bottom to sum it all up without all the extra waffle and detail)..I am writing this review at 3 month of owning this headset hoping anyone who happens to read it will find it useful. I ordered this when my previous headset had broke (Which I later found out was planned and guaranteed by the company that made that model).This headset surprised me more than anything upon first opening it.Lets get started with the sheer amount of bass. Gunshots feel more like they are being fired from a gun. Music I listen to has much more backbone. It could be that my old headset just didn't have much more bass than earbuds, but this headset is quite well for its bass. There are even settings to turn up the bass! Though, I honestly wish there were options software-wise to reduce bass, as sometimes its a bit much and your regular usage feels too loud or might make your ears hurt. Perhaps you could turn the bass in certain games down, but I wish it could be done with the headset.The sound quality I found (possibly because of the bass) to be absolutely gorgeous. Music I once found just the regular normal became tear-jerking and chill-inducing. Games couldn't sound better.The noise cancellation is insane, and honestly a bit too much for me. This is situational though, but my family does have to yell a bit louder to call me for dinner. However, if what you want is noise cancellation, this headset is best for it! Its like you are entering a portal, but for your ears, every time you put these on! The outside world stops existing for a bit and your games come to life in a whole other level of immersion.Because of how locking-in this headset is, the complaint about your ears getting hot since there's nowhere for the heat to escape these almost air-tight covers is often. But, that is why Razer has options for coolant variants at a steeper price, which honestly fits well.The headset I had previously had 3 customizable buttons on the side, as well as an auto-muting microphone (with a light to let you know when its muted) that disconnects when you raise it. This has neither. You have to click the microphone off here, which is fine.On the subject of microphone, it is incredible quality, honestly a bit too good for me. Rather than having a radius that picks up less noise as you go further, it appears to have a set radius where it picks up sound way too well before having a sort of 'wall' where it can barely pick up sound. This said radius is quite big, so even moving the mic far away from my face still picks me up. This is good for the obvious reasons, but a bit unhelpful when it picks up EVERY noise you make. Yes, you can lower the levels/sensitivity in microphone settings on your computer as well as in Softwares individually, and finding the right levels arent hard, but its a bit much to start.However, what really got me to write this review and why I had said pictures attached is this headsets major (Or potentially minor depending on how you use it) design flaw:The plastic 'band' that goes around your head isn't reinforced very well, specifically the parts above where the cusion for your head and the 'side plastic' connect. This is not jointed and instead is just a round piece of plastic. I was used to taking my headset off by moving the ears away from me, widening the headset, since the other headset I had handled that just fine. This headset does not though. The parts I described on either side are sensitive and just after these 3 months, one of them broke and gave way. I had to reinforce it with vinyl tape and a thin scrap of metal to give it the right shape, but no matter what it was broken.I feel like this could be worked on, though until then as the customer, I suggest YOU make sure to take this headset off either by turning it backwards to take out from behind you, or to turn it forwards and remove it that way. As evident by how long mine lasted so far, separating the ears from your head has proven to be a breaking point for a design flaw.Nothing wrong with this headset, as all pieces of tech have their own issues, like bugs in a game, just make sure to take care of this well.TLTR:Sounds quality, noise cancellation, bass, microphone all over perform substantially. Your ears can get hot but its not that bead. The only real issue is physical strain of the overall structure. Just be sure to take this off without stretching it sideways and instead turning it backwards or forwards to avoid breaking the top and needing to either get a replacement or augment/modify it like I did (Which worked quite well to allow this to last longer)

    Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2023
    I owned 2 of these and the first picture is the original set , second picture was the replacement I bought recently .

    nice headset with mic .. windows 10/11 find it ok and the Mic works fine in game .I use steam apps .

    snug fit when new .. tried to adjust to fit less tight and the first picture shows result , second picture , is just a manufacturing flaw with the replacement set I just purchased a month ago . Amazon and vendor allowed me to replace it but I barely got under time liimit by 3 days so beware .

    again very nice headset for the price.
