About this deal

The Kraken Pro V2 feels great in the hand, and has been built with perhaps the perfect blend of materials at this price point. The ear cushions are larger, softer and better sound-isolating than before. They are easily interchangeable with a choice between circular or oval-shaped designs* allowing for a personalised fit. The Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 delivers an immersive surround sound gaming experience to enhance your aural situational awareness. You’ll always hear where the enemy is coming from, and where your team is located, to strike with precision. What’s more, the engine is entirely customisable via Razer Synapse, so you can determine the best placement for the audio channels to best fit your own listening preferences. For the asking price, however, I have few complaints – but I do feel that they could be a little bit better for music listening. Stepping up to such a device as the Astro A40 TR would provide a better musical performance. Special in-mold channels have been designed into the ear cushions enabling specs-wearing gamers to wear the headset free of strain.

HyperX Cloud II Matt ElliottLike all of Razer's products, the Kraken Pro V2 uses its suite of Synapse software to let you make adjustments to the soundscape. The Kraken Pro V2 doesn't offer surround-sound per se, but you can install an add-on named Razer Surround Pro and calibrate it for a virtual 7.1-surround experience. It includes presets for a ton of Razer's headsets, but at the time of this writing, only the Kraken Pro, and not the Kraken Pro V2, was available from the pull-down menu in the software. The software also offers a graphic equalizer, and optional enhancements like bass boost, sound normalization, and one called "voice clarity." It's well done and gives more flexibility to the set, at least when using it on PC. It’s comfortable to wear, and the 322g weight never felt particularly heavy on my head. The upper section of the Kraken is also height adjustable, offering plenty of modification for various sizes of head. Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. The left earcup holds a volume wheel, a mic mute switch, and a port for the detachable boom mic. The 6.7-foot, fabric-wrapped cable is permanently attached to the left earcup and terminates in a USB-A plug.I’ve been PCMag’s home entertainment expert for over 10 years, covering both TVs and everything you might want to connect to them.

Get total gaming audio immersion with the Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 Headset. It features an enhanced 7.1 virtual surround sound engine for pinpoint positional audio that is totally customisable to your own preferences. The ears' exteriors match the headset's color, while the forward-facing inside surface features translucent white plastic with RGB lighting. The lights match the earcups' outsides, but you can program each ear and earcup to display different colors and effects using Chroma Studio in Razer’s Synapse software. If you want the ears to light up on the go, Cosplay Mode lets you run the lights from a USB power bank. Cosplay Mode only supports static colors, color cycling, and color “breathing” modes; you can't customize colors. The Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 is outfitted with larger drivers than its predecessor to offer a louder and richer soundstage than ever before. You’ll feel like you’re right at the center of all the gaming action, while ensuring your team’s shotcalls are heard with absolute clarity. The Kraken Kitty has a cosplay mode that lets you use lighting effects of your choice on the go with a power bank. You can set the default lighting effect of the product in Synapse 3. It will then be saved foruse.Through a series of playful gestures, she begins to perform the #RazerKrakenKitty dance—clawing playfully at the camera, shaping and moving her hands like paws, before flapping her hands above her head like cat ears. Audio quality is yet another area of strength for the Kraken Pro V2; the headset offers an enjoyable listening experience across a wide spectrum of applications. The headband was designed for balanced weight distribution and reduced clamping force to maximise comfort during lengthy gaming sessions.

The braided cable also attaches to the left side of the headset, although this isn’t user-replaceable in the event of cord failure, and does carry some external vibrations into the left earcup when moved.The Kitty part of the Kraken Kitty V2 Pro comes from the two connectors on the headband's top. This is where the headset’s ears plug in, and they represent one of the biggest upgrades to the V2. Instead of just triangular cat ears, each headset also has a set of long, oval bunny ears and a set of small, circular bear ears. Since its inception, the Razer Kraken has built a reputation as a cult classic within the gaming community. It made its mark as a staple at countless gaming events, conventions, and tournaments. We’ve now improved the features of this crowd favorite to not just give its audio quality a boost but also make it more comfortable so you can game all day with the headset you love.
