RazerKraken V3 X Wired USB Gaming Headset: Lightweight Build - Triforce 40mm Drivers - HyperClear Cardioid Mic - 7.1 Surround Sound - Chroma RGB Lighting - Black

Fits very comfortable around my ear, chroma rgb app is really easy to use and the mic sounds pretty good for a more cheaper version of the kraken v3. It functions pretty good in all the games I played with not too much bass which other headphones may have. The structure is really good and allows for the lights on the sides of the headphones to show clearly with multiple modes for rgb such as lighting up when there’s audio playing, I’d recommend it for a more cheaper but quality pair of headphones!

Pros:LightweightGreat colors, love the RGBZero lag, crisp soundMids are clear, bass is averageGood for stereo/surroundComfortable, with good passive sound reductionWait and see's:Padded head strap may depress over time. With daily use over a month, it has held up fine, but I use these HEAVILY.Cons:Takes up a USB port, but if you're looking at these, I hope you've factored that in already.

Great headphones, cushion is amazing and mic quality is clear and crisp. These earphones have noise canceling so it’s great for gaming, but will hurt your ears if you wear it for an extended long time (<4-6 hours). Love the lights and its pretty light weight. Packaging is very nice also.

A little overpriced maybe, but honestly, pretty great quality. Sound is decent enough and the material is pretty durable. Im pretty confidant recommending these.

Backstory, I was looking for a new gaming headset, and I went with the very highly reviewed hyperx cloud alpha S, and hated it. I decided to try this one out because I’ve always enjoyed razer products, even if there are a few bad reviews.This headset blows the HyperX out of the water. Better sound, way better comfort, clearer mic, and the hyper sense haptic thing is game changing.Pros:-excellent sound quality-Very comfortable. Ear cups don’t press on jaw like the HyperX, padding is thicker and more resilient feeling.-Noise cancelling is just right. Little things don’t break immersion, but if someone falls down the stairs or the house catches fire, you’ll hear it.-mic is very clear. The synapse tests and peer reviews tell me this is the clearest mic I’ve used, plus it has separate adjustable thresholds for volume, background noise filtering, and voice clarification-Hyper Sense Haptics…. I think this was mostly for People playing FPS games, makes gunfire and such “feel” more real, but as someone who always has Spotify up while gaming, I Love the simulated base this adds in on low/medium settings. You could never get base like that from speakers that strap to your head, but the haptics can emulate having a nice sub nearby. Very nice touch.-RGB is a tasteful accent, not garish. I also like that I can set which colors I want in my spectrum for various patterns. Setting this to just the shades of blue and green is very nice, and matches the Corsair RGB on my desk/towerCons:-No mute light on mic. This is a nice feature most brands have and I’ve gotten used to. Nice visible indicator that I have my mic muted to prevent embarrassing over sharing.-Thx surround feature sounds bad. I’m sure it’s great for FPS players that are willing to sacrifice sound quality to have better directional sense, but I’m not a FPS player so it’s not worth the drop in quality. This one isn’t really a detriment, it’s just a feature I don’t use. Sound quality with THX left off is phenomenal.Overall I’m super excited about this one. This is the best headset I’ve had in my 15+ years of gaming headset usage. Highly recommended.

I got this upgrade since my V2's cable mostly died after a few years. This model for some reason has earcups nearly HALF the size of the V2s. Check out the comparison photo. I'm a petite woman and they're just too small even for me, I have no idea who they would fit comfortably. The V2 ear cups encompassed the whole ear without any pressure points, but these tiny ear cups are very uncomfortable even if you rotate them to an angle that matches your ear shape. I had a headache come on about 5 minutes into wearing them. I've never had to try to painfully "break in" a $120 headset before.And if you think you can swap out the earcups with the bigger V2 ones - think again. They completely redesigned the earcup attachment mechanism to somehow be worse, so they're incompatible and there are no other V3 ear cup sizes on the market as of writing this review. So good luck if you have big ears which I supposedly have because somehow all these 5 stars reviews say these things are comfortable.From my tests of the audio, the sound is great to me. I like that the boom mic cushion is removable. I miss the retractable mic of the V2 though. And I miss the mute button being on the mic with a red light indicator when muted. The volume scroll wheel on the headset is sort of annoying since it's easy to accidentally nudge it removing and putting them on and then have to readjust the volume back to where it was every time.I'm going to keep these for now though, and if they don't "break in" soon I will consider returning them. I'm disappointed.EDIT: After directly comparing the audio to the 7.1 Kraken V2s, the sound quality on these is a lot worse actually. The haptic feedback is nice when playing music with heavy bass, but I had to do a lot of manual editing of the EQ levels in the Synapse software to get more "punch" out of the audio in the mid-high ranges listening to music, and put the headphones in Stereo instead of the THX mode which just sounds muddy. The default mic quality was trash to I had to disable all of the "mic enhancements" in Synapse as well to get it sounding good, but the mic quality is noticeably worse than the V2s. The V2s had such amazing sound quality I absolutely loved them for music, but these do not compare. I'm just overall pretty disappointed with these. I may just keep them for the LED coolness factor but I'm on the fence about returning them as they're worse in almost every way.EDIT 2: I returned them and knocked the rating down to 1 star. I spent a long time trying to troubleshoot the audio. When I looked the issue up online I discovered 3 months ago since writing this review, Razer released a Synapse update that worsened the sound quality across their whole headset line for tons of customers and then doubled down on the update so there's no hope of improving the inferior sound quality of this headset now. Plus I started noticing cable nose and crackling/popping in the left ear which was the last straw. Avoid at all costs.
