It has been my experience that gaming headsets have never been great in all areas of use. Some are uncomfortable to wear after a while, or the mic picks up too much background noise, or the audio is just kind of fine for gaming but not great for music. The Kraken V3 Pro suffers from none of the compromises that other headsets make. The audio is very clean, even well enough to listen to music with for those with discriminate ears with precise details. The Kraken V3 Pro wireless installs fairly easy with Razer's Synapse software and gives you controls for lighting, virtual 7.1 surround and some other settings. I experienced no degraded audio quality while using these on my gaming PC. I found the analog volume control to be helpful in quickly adjusting the volume. The ...

The power button and mic mute toggle are also nearby on the left side of the headset. Now for the unusual. This headset has haptics. Not in the sense on needing special game support to use it but it still works. I'll try to briefly explain. With the headset powered on, you have a choice of 3 levels of haptics or turn it off using the lone button on the right side of the headset. The basics are this, haptics work on this headset by pulling the much lower frequencies and giving that to the haptics to handle. It comes across and deep thunderous satisfying bass, that isn't exactly bass. I must admit that wearing them and using haptics is a unique experience and is not at all gimmicky on the Razer Kraken V3 Pro Wireless. It's a different level of enjoyment in gaming and otherwise I enjoyed using these while PC gaming and am always impressed by Razer's virtual 7.1 surround sound and it's ability to pinpoint directional sound quickly. It's not lost on the sound clarity of the headset. Whether you game, listen to music, watch movies or whatever else you'd want to use them for, you won't be disappointed. Yet again Razer exceeds my expectations for wireless (occasionally wired) audio and are a joy to use.

Be ready to have some compromises with this headset. Nothing against the sound and built quality but there are a lot of issues you need to be ready to live with if you decide to buy these. For me, I still decided to keep them since there are no other options with haptic feedback in the market so this was the deciding factor for me since I can leave up with the most common bugs that happen to me. Note these bugs are all over the internet so I suspect these are happening to a lot of users: - 2% of the times I open the app: Profiles do not load to the synapse app making it impossible to move between profiles. A full PC restart is needed to solve the issue if I really want to change between profiles. (different profiles are very important with these headphones since you ...

(different profiles are very important with these headphones since you don't want haptic feedback/THX Audio to be turned on while in discord or watching youtube videos, or listening to music.) - Razer synapse does not start with windows even with all options turned on, I have managed to sort out this by programming windows 11 task scheduler to force the app to open every time. Nothing else worked. If you are not an experienced windows user you might not be able to do this and you will have to manually open the app every time. - 75% of the times I change between different profiles with different haptic options, the haptic feedback bugs making some weird noises when activated. To solve this I need to shut down the phones and turn them on again. This sorts out the issue every time. - The battery level on the app never reaches 100%, I don't think so this is affecting anything at all though

I've had the original Kraken for a few years and have switched to another brand for the past year mostly to take advantage of a gaming DAC to fine tune my listening for movies, music and games. I had the chance to try out the new wireless Razer Kraken V3 Hypersense headset and there is a lot to like about these but a few things I don't like... I'll get to those in a bit. At the pricepoint you can easily justify adding these to your gaming arsenil. Here is what comes in the box: the Kraken V3 Hypersense wireless headset, a removable boom mic, a USB A to USB C charging cable, a 3.5mm audio cable and a wireless USB dongle. First of all this headset is extremely comfortable. The ear cups have a nice foam core with a very supple soft leather wrap. They are plenty big and ...

At the pricepoint you can easily justify adding these to your gaming arsenil. Here is what comes in the box: the Kraken V3 Hypersense wireless headset, a removable boom mic, a USB A to USB C charging cable, a 3.5mm audio cable and a wireless USB dongle. First of all this headset is extremely comfortable. The ear cups have a nice foam core with a very supple soft leather wrap. They are plenty big and deep for my Dumbo ears. This is an exaggeration of course but my ears to stick out enought to rule out several headsets and especially with on the ear variety. The band is metal with the padding that touches the top of your head the same material as the ear cups. Cushy!!! I can easily wear these for long durations of a couple of hours. I did have a slight issue with sweat after a long time of wearing them but you will get that with most over the ear headsets. After charging the headset with the included USB charging cable setup is easy. If you use it as a plain headset you don't have to do anything else for a PC however you will get a prompt to install Razer's Synapse software which will allow total control of the headset. You can enable/disable the lighting, the haptic intensity, adjust sound profiles including THX spatial audio, equalizer settings, bass boost, voice clarity... man, there is a lot. Again, if you like plain and simple just skip installing the software. Oh, an you must have a Razer Synapse account or create one... yet on of the other things that bugs me about hardware in general. If you are already rocking a Razer Blackwidow and Deathadder (or any Razer combo), then the memory real estate might not be an issue since you will most likely already be using Synapse. I guess the new fad is to bling everything with RGB lighting. The Kraken V3 Hypersense headset is no different. There is LED lighting illuminating the outer ring of ear cups on the headset. Yeah, if you are into that sorta thing. Which I am but headset lighting when I can't see it kinda missing the point for me. I'm not sure how much the battery life suffers with the lights on but I'm sure it does shorten the battery life at least some but that might not really be a big issue. I mean who is going to wear these 8 hours straight? The controls are easy to reach with the left cup having power switch, volume knob, mic mute button, optional 2.5mm audio jack and a USB C port for charging. On the right cup there is only one button and that's to adjust the Hypersense levels where by pushing you scroll through different levels of haptic feedback (vibration of the ear cup synced with game play settings). What I like - price is comparable to other good gaming headsets. - comfort - sound quality is amazing and THX spatial gives you a very immersive surround sound effect. What I don't care for: - removable boom mic (I prefer the boom mics that swivel up mute and get out of the wayO - having to find the mute button - not a fan of Synapse as it seems each piece of hardware has it's own app - why not Bluetooth???? - you have to have a Razer account to use Synapse. I hate logging into everything!! On the fence - - Hypersense haptic levels. It takes some getting use to. You can just set and forget as some games may have haptic feedback and others not. You'll have to play with it. Heck, I was toggling with the button during game play depending on what's going on... sometimes I thought the headset was going to shake off my head... okay, another exaggeration but you get the point. I have yet to try these with my consoles but that is the next thing on the list. I need to fire up Madden 22 on my PS5 and test out these bad boys!!!

The vibration tech also adds some weight as well. That is weight that you will be wearing for several hours and may even fall asleep with depending on the gamer you are. Keep this in mind. In the end, I want to give this a four star, but the price is not good at all even for what it is. I would also expect something like this to be more plug and play, but that wasn't the case for me at all. I really don't know what to recommend here. It's my first headset with a mic, but I feel like it is over priced for what you get. I've had really good audio from 30 dollar ear buds with similar vibration tech from years ago. I can't imagine the mic is all that special to justify the tag. The issues with getting these to work on several attempts further makes me set grade low. I know times are garbage now and prices are dumb... but if thats the way it's going to be, expect my reviews to be just as harsh as the tag. You want my fifth star, then wow me. I'm the buyer.
Great gaming headset. In terms of fit, they fell great, the headband it's a nice cushioned leatherette and the ear pads are also the same way, but with the addition of memory foam. I wear glasses sometimes and they felt great with them, never pushed hard against my temple and feel great. I only noticed a little of heat after a few hours of gaming, being that these are closed back headphones, they create a tight seal above your ears and block sound from the outside. In terms of features, they come with a nice long Type C USB cable (finally, type C!) and a wireless USB dongle you plug into your PC. They also include a mini jack cable if you wish to use them with a console (but you won't have all the nice features that way, most of them are for the PC, since it needs ...

In terms of features, they come with a nice long Type C USB cable (finally, type C!) and a wireless USB dongle you plug into your PC. They also include a mini jack cable if you wish to use them with a console (but you won't have all the nice features that way, most of them are for the PC, since it needs their Synapse software). The sound quality is amazing and they are using their Triforce titanium 50mm drivers, bass is great and explosions sound amazing. Higher tone sounds are clear too (great to discern footsteps in games) and the THX spatial audio is amazing at delivering 3D evolving audio. Its aking to dolby Atmos or DTS:X in the sense that its not only your traditional 7.1 setup, but also height, creating an evolving sound, and it does not sound fake or reverberating like other ones. You must use their Synapse software to customize them. You can control lighting, spatial THX audio (I just leave it on auto and it autodetects games, music, movies etc.). It also has a nice equalizer and lots of tuning options for the mic (like sound normalization, echo cancel etc). The included mic is great and the also include a foam cover to avoid raspy noises breathing noises on the mic. The haptic feature is great and not a gimmick, I really like it. It has 3 levels (low, medium, high) or off altogether. I left if on medium and is subtle enough that it only accentuates bassy sounds (like explosions) and it's not gimmicky at all, I like it but YMMV. My only cons, are: The volume rocker on the headset, it does not have any tactile feedback or clicky points, it just spins freely making it hard it "feel" how much your moving it and its very easy to do so. Sometimes I have done so by mistake and have almost blown my ear drums due not realizing its gone up to the max. This is a real downer. Also, the synapse software only shows a battery icon to display the battery level, not very accurate, on my razer mouse, it also shows a percentage. I hope they update this in the future. Battery level however has been good, even with the haptic feature. Last time I played Rainbow six for about 5 hours and was still going strong (however that inaccurate battery icon would not move and I can't tell how much percentage is left, Razer please fix this in your software!). I highly recommend these to anyone looking forward a wireless headset with amazing sound and the haptic feature is a plus in my book (if you don't like it, you can turn it off).!
Razer's Kraken V3 Pro headset makes it easy to switch from wired to wireless connectivity for different platforms. Adding their HyperSense technology to the mix, audio is clear and immerses you into what you are listening to. The Kraken headphones come with the headphones themselves, a USB C charging cable (not a power adapter), a 3.5mm aux cable, a removable microphone with foam tip, and a wireless USB dongle. The foam around the earcups are leatherette material as well as the foam around the flexible, steel reinforced headband. One thing to note about the wireless USB dongle is that it can only be connected to a computer or a PS5 allowing for wireless connectivity. Unfortunately for Xbox users, the headset can only be used in wired mode and not wirelessly. Other ...

The foam around the earcups are leatherette material as well as the foam around the flexible, steel reinforced headband. One thing to note about the wireless USB dongle is that it can only be connected to a computer or a PS5 allowing for wireless connectivity. Unfortunately for Xbox users, the headset can only be used in wired mode and not wirelessly. Other consoles and devices such as a Nintendo Switch and cell phone would need to be used in wired mode as well. (While the Nintendo Switch is on it's dock the the Razer USB dongle is connected to the dock, audio from the Switch can be played wirelessly to the headset). As for the headset itself, there are several buttons to control Razer's HyperSense feature, the RGB color effect located on the outside part of each earcup, the volume (via a slider), and microphone state (mute or on). Out of everything the headset has to offer, I enjoyed the audio the most. The audio is amazing and immersive! The 7.1 THX spatial audio, in combination with the HyperSense tech Razer, does add an extra level of immersion when watching movies and video games. As I fired shots in video games and explosions rung from movies I watched, the vibration from the headset was well balanced. Footsteps from enemies, far away action and shots fired all sounded clear and according to their distance. Razer's HyperSense tech can also be adjusted to your liking by pressing the button on the left side earcup and works by default without having to install any extra software on any device. Although the headset does not have a noise cancellation feature, I noticed the foam cups do a good job of keeping audio inside and around your ears. Outside noise was relatively low while wearing the headset and not playing any audio. One thing I noticed while wearing the headset was that the area around my ears began to sweat due to the leatherette material. While this is not a huge deal for me personally, I do see how others might prefer to have a different type of material around their ears to prevent this. The detachable cardioid microphone also worked well; friends and family were able to hear me well during game sessions. The microphone was able to distinguish my voice and block out external noise from my surroundings (kids running around, people talking) while talking and gaming. Razer rates the battery life of the Kraken V3 Pro at 11 hours with the RGB lighting and HyperSense on and 44 hours while both are off. From personal use, I was able to use them for more or less, two hours a day for five days before needing to charge them (having both HyperSense and the RGB lighting on). I do recommend charging the headset after using it and not during a listening session as the HyperSense tech is disabled during charging. As previously mentioned, what I enjoyed the most out of Razer's Kraken V3 Pro headset is the audio. I recommend this headset for those looking for a great sounding headset or looking to upgrade from their current one for a better audio experience.
Razer continues to impress in the gaming industry with their latest high end addition to their headphone line up. The new Kraken V3 Pro HyperSense headphones about blew me out of my gaming chair, metaphorically of course, when I first set them up, charged them, plugged in the included USB dongle and turned on some sound. I had no idea how much of a difference the haptic feedback would make for low end deep sound; it felt like my whole head was shaking as if I were at some EDM concert. Not only are they the most bass intensive headphones I have ever used because of the haptic technology that vibrates the headphones when loud sounds are triggered, they also sound incredibly loud and clear with their patented TriForce Titanium drivers and THX 7.1 surround sound that ...

All of this combined to provide the most incredible immersive sound I have ever experienced from gaming headphones, or honestly any headphones for that matter. The headphones themselves feel very durable and well made and are very comfortable for long time use in gaming sessions due to the memory foam cushions Razer used that wrap nicely around your entire ears locking in the sounds while also providing some noise cancelling for outside sounds. They come with a detachable Razer HyperClear Supercardioid microphone which also keeps unwanted background noise, such as pesky barking dogs, out of your gaming sessions. The only gripe I have is that I wish they would have come with a Bluetooth option to pair with other devices, such as a smartphone, as I would have liked to use these to listen to music as well as gaming. I also wish they were wirelessly compatible for the Xbox, however, that was not a deal breaker for me since you can still wire them to your controller and the massive sound these create far outweigh any shortcomings. Bottom line is you won't be disappointed in these headphones if you are a true gamer or even someone who casually likes to use headphones while working on your computer or laptop.
The Razer Kraken V3 Pro Wireless Headset has many pros and cons when it comes to daily use. For starters, it has amazing haptic feedback while gaming that allows the user to hear and sense where footsteps and minimal sounds are coming from, giving the player a heightened spatial awareness while playing highly intensive games. The headset also comes with speakers that deliver a crisp and loud listening experience for casual or competitve use. While listening to songs or playing immersive gaming experiences, there is no distortion or delay between what you see and what you hear, allowing for hours of use at a time. The battery life is also an improvemewnt over other wireless devices, lasting over a day with constant use when not using the haptic feedback or lighting ...

The battery life is also an improvemewnt over other wireless devices, lasting over a day with constant use when not using the haptic feedback or lighting modes of the headset. Turning on these features only slightly decreases how long the headset will remain functional, and overall it is a great listening experience for everyone. It also comes with the Razor synapse software, allowing for instant customization for the headset's colors, equalizer, and mic equalizer. Although it has many pros, the gaming headset also has a few cons to note. The earmuffs are circular and are less comfortable than earmuffs that are shaped in an oval that wrap around the ear, rather than lay on top of it. A second major issue, that may be the biggest downside to this headset overall, is the microphone quality. Compared to other headsets, the microphone quality is drastically worse. It sounds like a budget microphone rather than a top of the line peripheral, and compared to 3rd-party microphones, it struggles to meet the standard for most gamers. Overall, this headset is worth it for those who have a stand alone microphone and are fine with circular ear muffs. Aside from this, it is definitely a product I would recommend to anyone going into the pc gaming scene.
Recently Razer has released some quality gaming products and the Kraken V3 Pro Hypersense can easily be added to the list. In the box you will find the headphones and the included USB C charging cable. Once you are done charging the headphones for a few hours you can proceed to connect them to your desired gaming device. The wireless connection is done via a 2.4 GHz connection so it is more reliable than Bluetooth however I do wish they included Bluetooth as an option so that you could use these with phones and tablets as well. The sound quality is amazing compared to my previous wired gaming headset and this can be attributed to the 50mm titanium drivers. The THX spatial audio can't truly be compared to a traditional 7.1 surround sound setup however it surprisingly ...

The sound quality is amazing compared to my previous wired gaming headset and this can be attributed to the 50mm titanium drivers. The THX spatial audio can't truly be compared to a traditional 7.1 surround sound setup however it surprisingly comes fairly close. I also thought the haptic sound was a gimmick however strangely adds a new dimension to gaming headsets. The microphone is detachable so you can take it off if you don't need it and it does do a decent job at suppressing background noise. The wireless headphones are extremely comfortable due to their graciously sized ear cups that have memory foam in them. These headphones are fairly bulky however they are very comfortable to wear for an extended period of time. The RGB lighting is more of a gimmicky item if you ask me however it seems to fit the parameters of most gaming devices these days. Lets just say it would not have taken anything away from your overall experience it Razer left it off. Stated battery life is 11 hrs but this will slightly vary from user to user. A quick side note is that these unfortunately cannot be used wireless with an XBOX. Overall the Razer Kraken V3 is a great wireless headset that won't disappoint if you are in the market for a gaming headset.
I just received mine today and I have to admit that they are pretty good on their own accord without having to resort to using the haptics. For comparison I usually use my 250 ohm Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro's with Brainwaivz XL pleather earpads driven by an EVGA Nu Audio card that offer exceptional frequency response and hard hitting bass. The frequency response is very good, not audiophile mind you, but light years better than the Corsair Virtuoso XT's I tried before them. Their frequency response was flatter than a picnic table and no fun at all no matter how I set the EQ. As a matter of fact the bass was so weak that with all of the lower settings maxed out watching a baseball game I could barely hear the bat make contact with the ball. Sad really with no immersive ... MoreI just received mine today and I have to admit that they are pretty good on their own accord without having to resort to using the haptics.

The frequency response is very good, not audiophile mind you, but light years better than the Corsair Virtuoso XT's I tried before them. Their frequency response was flatter than a picnic table and no fun at all no matter how I set the EQ. As a matter of fact the bass was so weak that with all of the lower settings maxed out watching a baseball game I could barely hear the bat make contact with the ball. Sad really with no immersive properties whatsoever. Getting back to the V3's if you love bass the settings offer a bass boost that really enhances the lower end. I listen to various genres of metal and rock so that is greatly appreciated. Even classical benefits from a great bass response. Then if you turn on the haptics it adds fun to the mix. After playing around with it a bit I have settled on the lowest setting. The sound is everything that I was hoping for and more and if they ever release a better version of this headset I'm all in. I'm actually hoping that the sound gets better after these burn in a couple of hours. For gaming I tried my usual go to games like world of warships and BF3. Ship sounds were nice for a headset but I still prefer my klipsch speakers with their 12" sub. BF3 is a different animal where locating your enemy is super important and this headset did allow me to pinpoint their locations relative to mine. The THX spacial audio offers user adjustable settings so you can tailor things to your own tastes. Wireless range is excellent as I have walked from my room through the house to the kitchen, at least 50 ft. away, without any loss of signal whatsoever. My other headsets, Audio Technica ATH-M50xBT and JBL Club One both start losing signal once I enter the kitchen area. I have a large head so I often have trouble finding a headset that fits right. Comfort is good as the headphone is relatively light with minimal clamping force on the sides of my head which matters as I wear glasses. I don't feel like the frames are being driving into my skull as the pleather earpads are plush enough to envelope my ears over them. The headband is sturdy with a very plush cushion that runs the full length across the top of my head. The forks are metal so I don't feel like its going to break anytime soon with me flexing them apart to get them on and off my big head. I can only hope that the volume control is of better quality than the one on my Huntsman Elite keyboard. At least it has a two year warranty. The led's on the earcups are adjustable via the chroma studio software which can be challenging the first time you use it. To be honest I've got them programmed to match my keyboard but then I just turned them off to prolong battery life. Another big plus is that you can charge and use them at the same time. Many other headsets force you to charge only. I did some reading before I bought them and discovered that Razer has a firmware update utility that is separate from the Synapse suite so I had to download it and was ready to apply it first thing when I opened up the box. My dongle and headset both required updates and you would do well to also download the pdf to familiarize yourself with the process before you try it. I used it and the process went exactly as described in the pdf. I haven't tried the mic so I cannot comment on it. To be honest I didn't know that they would be this good. So the big question is would I recommend these headphones? The answer is yes.
