Virtual 7.1 sound. Cardioid microphone. Multiplatform headphones.

High-quality and affordable closed-type gaming over-ear headphones with a wired connection and a retractable microphone on the headband. They are a modification of the famous Razer Kraken model. They differ in more modest overall dimensions and reduced weight (250 g). Positioned as a mid-range product aimed at users looking to purchase a quality-sounding gaming headset for extended gaming sessions.

Headphones Razer Kraken X focused on use as part of gaming systems based on personal computers, laptops and gaming consoles. They also work seamlessly with smartphones and tablets. Easily adapt to the anatomical features of the user's head, comfortable for long-term use. The Razer Kraken headphones are equipped with a high-quality unidirectional cardioid microphone with good sensitivity and a wide frequency range, which perfectly captures the voice, which can be important for heated multiplayer battles.

Dynamic drivers with a diameter of 40 mm provide high-quality sound with a pronounced low-frequency accent. The sounds of explosions and gunshots are reproduced vividly and accurately, making the headphones perfect for shooters and action games. They do a good job of playing modern popular, dance and club music. The length of the round single-sided cable is 1.3 m. A splitter (2x3-pin mini-Jack 3.5mm) is provided for connecting to a PC.

Release the Kraken!

In 2019, Razer released a new version of its famous Razer Kraken headset. The novelty differs from the original in more modest dimensions (weight is only 250 g) and a very tempting official price tag of $50. The main innovation is support for eight-channel (7.1) sound. Well, the sound has changed a lot, if in the old Kraken everything was sharpened for games and it was full of urine, Kraken X sound more subtle and balanced. The bass does not swell, shading all other frequencies, the middle is heard well, the upper frequencies are well detailed. By the standards of headsets under $100, they sound just fine (namely, in games and movies, music is not their forte), so there was no particular desire to include “multi-channel sound” in them. As in other inexpensive models, it sounds lousy and is added rather for show.

Proven design

In terms of design, nothing has changed. Razer did not reinvent the wheel and we have the well-known Kraken, only lighter and with a couple of small visual differences. The microphone of the headset is not ordinary, but cardioid, that is, it is more sensitive to the voice of the user than to the noise around. It picks up the voice best when it is parallel to the mouth and not under the nose or chin. Install it just like that and the voice quality will pleasantly surprise your teammates.

Ergonomics is not an empty phrase

The body and headband are made from a durable thermoplastic that is resilient enough to form the basis for the headphone frame. Headphones are pleasant to wear for a long time. They don't pinch, but the fit is secure. Faux leather ear pads are moderately deep with memory foam. From them we have dual impressions, on the one hand they are quite comfortable, on the other hand, the ears in the heat instantly sweat in them. And they can't be replaced if they get torn, so you'll have to handle them carefully. True, Razer is confident in the quality, so they give a two-year warranty.
