This 3rd generation wired headset by the best Gaming Peripherals Manufacturer in the US named Kraken is their one of the most widely used products ever. It is supplemented by two more purchasable accessories which takes your Gaming experience to the next level and proves to add its own idiosyncrasies.
Built
It is equipped with cooling gel – infused cushions to eliminate any heat build up while at the same time it endows you with the comfort and isolated sound so that you can get the best in class gaming experience.
It also has a 3.5 mm audio cable with extension splitter to give you the full access of audio and mic in case the platform requires a separate audio output and mic input ports.
Furthermore it has a bauxite aluminium frame to make it very light in weight , flexible and extremely durable, also it has a unidirectional microphone which enables you to have crystal clear team communication.
Its thicker padded headband relieves more pressure to bestow you with a long lasting comfort.
Audio
Apart from that you also get a custom tuned 50mm drivers for mellifluous sound with depth and punchy bass for a wide soundscape.
Nothing goes a miss , you can easily detect the subtle footsteps of the enemy quite effortlessly and the explosion resembles a boulder tumbling downwards from the mountain top.
The mic is very flexible and does not snap off/make weird “popping noises,” and you can easily retract the mic back into your headset if you don’t need to use it.
Razer also provides you with more options if you have a gaming PC/Windows computer (sadly not for Mac users), if you wish to have better sound quality for your headset. You simply have to go on to the website the paper inside the box provides and just type the code that is on the front side of the card to unlock those settings for your headset.
Full RGB configuration, good overall sound quality and the access to fine tune audio settings, along with the Surround sound toggle on the headset makes it very easier to change your settings quickly.
Other Purchasable accessories
