Very minor chips but overall works very well, good sound, clean and comfortable. Very well worth the money!! I love Razer Products overall
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2026 Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2026 by Theresa DeVries
Color: Black/Blue
The hardware in the Krakens is excellent, imo. My husband loves these phones (and I do, too!) My previous phones, a pair of Sony MDR-7506's, were so good we thought nothing could beat them, even though the Sony phones' drivers are 40 mms in size and these Razer Kraken drivers are 50mm--much depends on the amplification hardware in the ear pads and motherboard hardware as to which will drive the better sound--eg., 50 mm drivers are not automatically better than 40mm drivers, regardless of the hardware environments. A lot also depends on the preferences of the individuals asked to state their opinions, of course. Some people like bass so overwhelming it actually distorts whereas other people like it only enough to hear it plainly with no distortion, and others like it turned down or off, inexplicably, etc. (But you can't argue with individual opinions, right?...Opinions are like armpits--we all have at least two of them, eh? So, I advise listening to all sides and colors of opinions, especially about computer hardware! There's always something new to learn even we don't agree with the overall opinions other people have or their conclusions. Opinions should always be debated--never, ever censored, we firmly believe!) Bear in mind, both sets of phones were tested via my husband's x570 Aorus Master motherboard's RealTek'HD Audio 3.5mm analog Hi-Definition front-panel jack--the best earphone connection jack in the system, btw. (Give me wired over wireless any day--I hate batteries and frequency interference, not to mention security concerns that do not exist with wired connections, etc.) The x570 Master also supports, in hardware, a 3-position headphone amp, and a hardware DAC, a SABRE 9118 DAC--the combination has to be heard to be properly appreciated, imo. Connector cabling. The Kraken offers a superior wiring connection--Kraken uses an extremely thin and ultra-flexible braided connector cable, whereas the Sony offers a thick, plastic-covered connection cable in which most of the length is coiled, just like analog amp cables circa the 1960's were made. Indeed, the Sony cabling doesn't look like something made for a 3.5mm plug! It looks exactly like something made for a full size plug! It's opinion, sure, as everything always is in the end, but we much prefer the Kraken's cabling over that used in the Sony cans used as the baseline comparison for this review. The Kraken cabling is ultralight, ultrathin, cloth braided, and so ultra-flexible that there simply isn't any obstinate stiffness in the cable that can be perceived. We both like it very much because of that--it is the nearest thing to not having a cable at all, but without any of the negatives of wireless. Sony's cabling is--well--SoA, circa 1969...;) Reminds my husband of plugging in his ancient but revered Gibson SG-Specials or Fender Strats & Telecasters into nice big onstage amps (which he still does, only the amps are a fair bit smaller, thankfully...;) ) Razer Kraken has an inline volume and microphone control switch. The Sony has neither--well, it doesn't have a microphone at all, so of course no Mic on/off switch. The Kraken has a nice, radial volume control for the cans, and a straight on-off switch for the Mic. Neither of us is a Mic user, so I'll leave that portion of the review to others better qualified to write about it in another review. Suffice it to say the Mic works as advertised and the on/off inline switch works fine. Now for the optional DSP software. Here's the situation as we think it stands regarding the extra-cost surround software available for the Kraken, the THX Spatial Audio software for the Kraken. We don't recommend anyone buying the Headphones without buying the offered THX Spatial Audio software! It's offered at 50% off when you buy the Kraken Phones, by Razer. So it's $10! It's the best $10 you are going to spend for a long time. We believe that these phones should not be offered sans the THX Spatial Audio--it's kind of baffling that they are offered without the custom THX software, frankly. However, there are people who love distorted bass and volumes so loud that King Kong's eardrums would burst!...;) So maybe that's why Razer doesn't integrate this into this Kraken package. Still, it would be unusual to find earphone wearers who would prefer their games sounding like an avalanche of boulders tumbling down the side of Everest. I think, anyway...;) To sum it up--I love this software. Husband loves it. He says it's much better than what he thought it might be. Razer includes a 7.1 surround-sound software solution free of charge with the Kraken, and it's just "OK"--just kind of average--seems to induce a fair bit of bass distortion in speech in some of our games--one guy's speech is nigh unintelligible with the Razer 7.1 surround sound package for the Krakens. But run the THX Spatial Audio, instead, and the difference is real and immediately noticeable. THX really justifies its commercial claims--the software brings out the best in the Kraken hardware! Comfort. It's a very important category with cans--as all of us know. If you can't game for hours because your phones are causing you pain or discomfort after a certain wearing time--that's unacceptable. These Kraken phones have "Oval Cooling Gel Cushions" in the pads and I'm just going to say that they are very comfortable indeed. My husband says that this set is the most comfortable set of cans he's ever worn. Both of us think the Sony set tends to "pinch" a bit in a long wear. The Sony pads are by no means uncomfortable, absolutely not. But both of us--my husband's typically swelled head and my petite but usually swifter smaller head both find the Krakens more comfortable in all wear scenarios--which I find a bit unusual. My husband says that what surprises him about the Krakens in addition to the gel-filled ear pads is how comfortable they feel--even for a large head like his they feel like they've got more room to give--not something the Sony's ever did. The Sony's were adequate, just not as comfortable. Durability. This is a big one for us, but especially for my husband. He's gone through many Plasticine sets of cans promising great durability. Hah. We have lost count of the very strong-looking plastic-frame headsets that after very little use, comparatively, use that was anything but harsh or abusive, simply fell apart, cracking through or breaking apart, and it happened over and over again. Hence, the hunt for metal headbands and construction in our headphones. Both the Sony and the Razer Kraken use metal in their construction, and what a difference! Neither set has come close to cracking or breaking apart! The Sony's have been up for years without a single problem in that regard! Years, literally. We do not expect to see any less durability from our Razer Kraken--namely, the one reviewed in this article! Really, any aluminum-headband construction should suffice for a long, long time. Our advice is to avoid plastic like the plague--especially the plastic headbands that appear to hold massive weight and hold up under enormous wear and tear--especially those particular Plasticine headbands....;) They just aren't going to be there one day when you really need them. Price: Believe it or not, the Sony cans are actually priced higher than the Kraken headset reviewed here. You can usually buy the Kraken Gaming Headset reviewed here plus the Razer THX Spatial Audio Software for less--that's right--less than what the MDR-7506 is currently selling for in places such as AMAZON! Where you are right now. Summary: The Sony cans, the MDR-7506's used as a baseline comparison for the Razer Kraken Gaming Headset review here, deliver really nice sound and were our number 1 choice in gaming headphones. Operative word being "were"....! These Razer Kraken headphones are better, in our very humble, sincere opinions!

I’ve had these headphones for over a month now because I really wanted to try them before, I write a review. I am happy I decided to get these because they have completely enhanced my gaming experience. These headphones are great and cheap for those who don’t want to spend over $100 for some headphones to game with. For a non-professional gamer more than happy with these headphones. The surround sound lets me know which direction an enemy is coming at me from. This alone has saved me multiple times from attackers from behind me. The durability of these headphones feels like they can handle a lot. When not in use I just put them away until I’m ready to use them again. They did come with a little dent on the top of the band but did not affect the playability in any way. They also feel comfortable and don’t cause fatigue when playing for long periods of time. I’ve played up to 6 hours in 1 setting and had no problem with the headphones on. The noise cancelation is good but does not cancel 100% of outside noise. I’d rather have some headphones that let me be emersed in a game but can still hear a little of what’s going on in my surroundings. When playing with others I can hear the game and team members’ voices just fine. I was told by a teammate that they could hear a lot of wind noise, and the only thing around was the ceiling fan on max. It's not a loud fan but I guess the air was enough to be picked up by the mic. Overall, I’m thrilled with these headphones, I even plan on buying a pair for my son. Also, it may not matter but I’ve used these headphones while playing Elden Ring, Destiny 2, Spider-Man, and Back4Blood so far.

I've had these for a while now, and really they're great and exactly what you'd expect. They've lasted a long time, the faux leather and mesh has actually held up. Sound is immersive and just muffling enough of outside noise so it's not a distraction (I often miss my wife opening the front door, but our dog barking to go out comes through) - and I have annoyingly sensitive hearing (asked my wife this morning - Who heats up coffee at 1:50AM?). You know, it took me a while to notice that the microphone was even retractable. Doesn't make a difference - easy and flexible enough to point out of the way when you don't need it, but a nice thing. Integrates with Razer software so easily, but you'll likely never need it; it's just what you wanted. But, It's hot. I mean that old phrase, "If you want to keep your feet warm on a cold winter day, wear a hat." is quite poignant. After an hour or two straight, my whole area around my ears are sweating. That, in turn, makes my body believe it's overheating. A quick trip to the kitchen or switching to the single-ear headset I use for meetings makes a difference in minutes. So it blocks sound, has nice speakers, but traps heat like a And the cord. The basic connection is great if your PC is about 12 inches away and you don't want to move your head. The extension that comes included is enough for me to plug in across the street. Not only that, (hardwood floor) it seems the extension cable is just emotionally destined to find its way back between some dual wheels on my desk chair. I could replace the extension, but I just feel like they overdid it, and now I'm kicking it out of the way every time I sit down. Razer's kind of overpriced for somethings because they rely on other successes, but until they make something more breathable, it's quite good unless you're an audiophile telling me about frequencies, and I'm a musician. Better than a lot, but there are plenty of cheap things that'll get the job done. I've compared this just personally to some others (older G.Skill set, Plantronics commercial), and the sound is really clear and good - surround and orientation work quite well. But if you don't need all of that, save yourself some head-sweat. If pretty good performance though beats your worry of a heating blanket over your ears, I'm for that too, and I'll support it because I have one right next to me. TLDR: You get really good sound, light(ish) weight comfort, and support, but at the same time they're a massive heat trap. I was not paid or compensated for this review - I just bought one a year or two ago. I do have a Razer keyboard and mouse (the Ripjaws was discontinued so what was I supposed to do?), so I enjoy one place to configure peripherals. For long term comfort, it's really pretty good. They're not heavy and the headband is easily adjustable. Sound on the mic is really quite clear even with defaults, so for gaming or even meetings with your camera off, you've got nothing to worry about.

Pros: - Great fit - Great sound quality. Coming from someone whose bar is probably low due to lack of experience, but these sound great to me. - No headache. I wear these during work and then after work to play games so sometimes like 10 hours a day and they don't bother me at all. Very cushioned and not too tight. - Mic works on zoom. Some mics on earbuds I bought don't work on zoom calls at all which sucks for work. - Mic works extended and retracted. I don't pull out the mic for zoom calls with the video on at work because it looks ridiculous. The mic still seems to work just as well when retracted. Cons: - The bottom of the ear cups sits right on the ear lobe so eventually my earrings started to hurt me. - Noise cancelling-wise, it's ok. I can definitely hear the vacuum, tv, etc through it but it is muffled. I take them off to have a conversation. I didn't expect them to be great at this though. - I wish the cord detached in case I needed to replace it. That's the first thing that went on my old non-razer headphones. - The mute button works only some of the time. It's probably because of the apps I'm trying to use it on, but I so far have only found it to work on zoom.

The Razer Kraken Black is the perfect "set it and forget it" headset. It’s comfortable, it’s built like a tank, and the sound is incredibly immersive. If you want a headset that works as hard as you play, this is the one.

So so cute! I like everything about these. The sound is great and accommodates surround/directional sound. I wouldn't really say they're noise cancelling but they do drown out a lot of the surrounding noise, just not quite everything. The cushions on the ears are nice and big and super squishy and comfy, they go around my ears almost completely instead of resting on them. The head bar is also quite comfy, not quite as soft but definitely softer than some others I've tried. Very adjustable and not slippy so they won't click out of the adjusted height mid game. The retractable adjustable mic is a nice feature that I don't see often. I was worried it would wear down or break a wire or connection with repeated retraction but it seems to be holding up well. The mic quality it pretty good too and my friend can hear me a lot better than with my last headset. It does pick up a lot though so make sure you don't have any fans or anything near by because that will get picked up and transmitted. I especially like that the jack is L shaped and not straight out. It makes it easier to hold the controller in my lap without worrying about breaking/fraying the cord or jack. I also like the braided cord, it's very solid and durable, and the mute button and volume wheel on the cord are easy to use and intuitive. Overall a very good purchase, I would recommend to others (and will probably be purchasing another set for my partner!)

I'm writing this review after using this headset almost daily for work and gaming for a little under two years now. I bought these for gaming, streaming, and work. Let me start off by saying they look adorable and seem to be sturdy, but the quality is definitely lacking and I generally wouldn't recommend them to anyone who is trying to use them as a full headset, maybe as just headphones, but definitely not if they need to use the mic. -------------Quick Summary------------------------------------- PROS: Cute, extension cord is handy (sometimes), comfortable enough to wear all day, sound quality is decent, separate volume knob on the headphones is convenient sometimes CONS: Mic quality is god awful, the mute button broke pretty quickly and I almost couldn't get it to unmute, headset is too loose and heavy to do any kind of physical activity or even lean forward without them falling off, extension cord is split between input and output so it can't be used as both input and output through one headphone jack i.e. for my laptop -------------------------------------------------------------------- I was really attracted to these because they are cute, and there weren't too many options for pink headphones, and I really wanted to look cute for Twitch streaming and Zoom/Discord calls. Let me start by saying I have beat the crap out of these and they still work, but a lot of the features I liked broke or stopped working well after a few months and then I stopped caring about being gentle with them. Most notably, the mute button/volume dial, it is so poorly constructed, you can feel the plastic moving around. The mute button itself often didn't mute or would get stuck muted, or half muted where it would make a humming or interference noise for people in my voice calls. It finally stopped working entirely after a few months and almost got stuck in the muted position. It was never reliable which lead to some embarrassing situations where I thought I was muted and I was NOT. There are also ridges on the volume adjustment that often get caught on clothing and it turns itself down or all the way up and I have to double check it. Ideally it would have been better if Razer put these buttons on the headset itself instead. It was nice to have volume control separate but it was more annoying than beneficial most of the time. It doesn't really have any amount of noise cancelling or anything, it feels similar to wearing earmuffs for the winter, I can still hear everything it's just a little muffled. The mic on this headset is absolutely awful and I would NOT recommend anyone rely on it for quality voice input. I don't know if it's just built badly or if mine is slowly getting worse over time but I have a lot of complaints about the mic. First off, the mic picks up sound coming from your earphones, I feel like that should be a basic requirement for a headset to not do that.... I have to have the volume very quiet in order to avoid the mic picking up what I am listening to. This is worse while the mic is pushed in to the headset, and only a little better when you pull the mic out to be near your mouth, but it still happens so it kind of defeats the purpose of having a headset. There has been more than one occasion where my music was picked up in a meeting by my mic, so again very embarrassing situations sometimes. There is zero consistency on mic pickup volume, I have used this for Zoom, Discord, BlueJeans, Facebook Video, Twitch, OBS, and regular phone calls, and all of them have wildly differing volumes of pickup. I use Zoom and Discord the most. On Zoom the mic seems to be supersonic and can pick up sounds across the room, when I'm on Discord on the same computer I have my input boosted and have the mic literally touching my mouth and my friends can barely hear me most of the time, it is so frustrating. Annoyingly this changes frequently, a few weeks ago I was too loud on Discord despite not changing any settings and then this week I am too soft despite being boosted all the way up. If I use the extension cord it changes the whole situation again to where I am having to adjust my settings and test my mic constantly. The extension cord itself is nice but I almost never use it as it is split into input and output only, so I can't use these as a headset on things with a singular audio jack like my laptop and phone which is 90% of my usage. Physically the headset feels sturdy, and I have dropped it more times than I care to admit, but overall the headset is heavy because the metal ear cups and headband, making it slip and slide off if I lean down to pick something up. If I shake my head with any amount of force the headset slips right off, so I can't wear it for anything but sitting at my desk, I have to switch to my old Sony bluetooth headphones if I want to work out, which I don't think I was looking for these to be an all in one solution for me, but it's still disappointing to take a phone call and have to constantly adjust these on my head if I do any amount of movement. It's comfortable to wear all day for sure, and I wear glasses so that's an achievement. The sound quality is decent, I can't really complain about that. Overall I would say these weren't worth the purchase. Granted the price point is pretty low for a corded headset but it is a constant headache to adjust the mic settings on every application. I would not purchase these again if I was in the market for a decently priced headset. They are cute and trendy, but really only work well as headphones if you sit still all day.
