    Razer Kraken: Good Enough for Casual Use/Kids, but Not for Audiophiles or People Looking for Quality
    ▶️ tldr; I bought these the Pink Kraken headphones for my daughter to use with her gaming setup. She liked them and they matched the rest of the pink gaming stuff. They were nice for her to use. I would recommend them for kids and people not real concerned about quality of sound or any discernment for being an audiophile/gamer. They are built well enough to be used as a daily pair of headphones without too many issues. I wouldn't spend a fortune getting Razer products though for reasons stated in my review below.▶️ Long review:Drawing on my experience owning a dozen and a half Razer products and being an early adopter of many, including the Razer COVID-19 RGB face mask, I have some concerns that I want to share. Despite the hardware being of "good" quality, I have decided to stop using Razer products due the following... the software is intrusive and bloatware-like, which can slow down my computer's startup times and memory usage. In addition, Razer's software is often CPU & memory-heavy, causing issues when trying to use other equipment like my HP Mixed Reality VR equipment. Unfortunately, poor customer service and eventual buyers remorse for their "higher quality products" have also contributed to my decision. I've also noticed that Razer tends to exaggerate the quality of their products on their product pages. Another issue that I encountered with Razer over the years was their customer service. I found their customer service to be obnoxious, unhelpful and rude at times.Their headphones provide OK sound quality, I have found that the THX sound experience is not as realistic as Razer makes it out to be. You literally have front of you facing sound and kind of / sort of middle rear facing sound. It's really not as big of a deal as Razer makes it out to be. It's an exaggerated over embleshisment of what it really is.Don't be fooled by Razer's claims about THX on their heaphones. It's not worth it. I own multiple pairs of Razer headphones and they don't even come close to what I have with Corsair headphones. The bloatware software Razer provides can be tricky to use and never could figure out how to the surround sound effect to exist (I am an avid gamer/computer tech/computer programmer/music lover) but even with all the things I know about computers, I never could manage to get it to work. As far as I was concerend It was just 2 areas of sound (front and rear) -- nothing like real surround sound or whatever they claim THX can do for you.I still consider Razer to be a producer of quality products. If you're looking to settle for something versus nothing, Razer products could be a good option if the price is right. Razer's unboxing experience is top-notch, and the RGB lights and effects are cool (based on what you buy from them). While I don't hate Razer, I no longer use their products due to the quality of their software, their customer service being garbage and unhelpful, and they tend to exaggerate the quality of their products on their website. If you're in the market for a new product and are looking to settle, Razer products could be a good option. Just be mindful how much you are spending and what kind of expectations you have going into it.Razer = longer term eventual disappointment once the honeymoon period is over, as far as I'm concerned.▶️ Alternative Product Recommendation:If you want to really want an upgrade to your headphones, comfort and sound quality... I highly recommend the Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT High Fidelity Dolby Atmos Sound headphones ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09BXZKNDB ).Buy them used from "Amazon Warehouse" in "Used - Like New" condition if want to get them cheap ($130) and know you're getting high quality / audiophile level quality sound. They actually provide high-quality Dolby Atmos sound and are reasonably price on Amazon if buy them used in "LIKE NEW" condition.Since mine were used I bought new, better ear cushions ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B095GS943G ) for them which made them even more comfortable and better at noise cancellation.

    Reviewed in Mexico on February 18, 2023
    Yo adquirí los 3 colores disponibles de estos audífonos, estos 3 los adquirí por el siguiente precio:
    -VERDES: $500mx
    -NEGROS: $879mx
    -BLANCOS: $699mx

    *La verdad es que en cuanto sonido no hay ninguna diferencia en los 3 colores, literal son lo mismo pero en otro color, en donde si cambian y talvez sea solo mi experiencia o la de los demás, es que al tener los 3 colores, en el color verde y negro se sienten mucho mas ligeros, mas delgados del cable, también no aprietan como deberían y sobre todo en donde se ajusta el tamaño esta super guango y con poca fuerza se pueden desajustar.

    *En el color blanco es todo lo contario, aprietan bien, donde se ajustan esta duro y si queda en las muescas y en materiales como el cable y su peso, se sienten de una gran calidad a comparación de los otros 2 colores. La verdad es que los que mas valen la pena es el color blanco, sentí mejores sus materiales y se notan mas duraderos y bien hechos, pero pues debes a tomar en cuenta que se ensucian super rápido.

    *También debes tomar en cuenta que su mayor virtud que es que sean de entrada 3.5, también es su peor virtud jaja, por el precio original sin ningún buen descuento, hay sin duda mejores audífonos inalámbricos e inclusive otros cascos gamer de mejor sonido, calidad y entrada usb. Pero tomemos en cuenta que estos los puedes usar en el celular y la tableta sin necesidad de comprar un adaptador.

    *En cuanto a su micrófono la verdad es que en los 3 es 10/10, en donde lo conectes y uses te van a escuchar fuerte y muy clarito, por el precio me hubiese gustado que incluyeran un filtro de aire y polvo, pero asi solo esta super bien. Donde yo note que el micrófono baja su calidad, es si lo usas en tu celular para hacer llamadas (no wh, discord, messenger etc) si no asi con tu saldo jaja, ahi el micrófono sepa por que se escucha medio raro y muy bajito, pero en lo demás que no sea eso, te van escuchar super bien.

    *El ultimo punto es el sonido y para mi de los mas importantes, el sonido no decepciona, esta bien balanceado pero como cualquier casco que es gamer, te da la sensación de que no hay presencia de agudos, solo de graves y bajos. Con una buena ecualización realmente mejoran bastante y asi ya son disfrutables al 100%. Esto del sonido depende de cada quien, pero a mi gusto asi sin ecualizar, tienen muy poca presencia de agudos. Pero en general si los agarras en descuento, realmente pagas por lo que suenan, si los compras a precio original, si decepcionan tomando en cuenta otras opciones por el rango de $2000mx.

    *El 7.1, obviamente es virtual y es solamente para usar en computadora o laptop jaja, pero a mi en lo personal me a gustado bastante. Lo uso en videojuegos como MW, WZ, OW2, GTA, FORNITE, DESTINY, ETC. Y realmente si siento la mejora del sonido. También me a gustado mucho para ver series o películas en mi computadora y también para escuchar mejor la voz de a quien les marco por discord o juego con chat de voz. En uso de música totalmente no vale la pena ya que distorsiona mucho el sonido ahi. entonces lo recomiendo para todo lo que dije pero no para usarlo con música.

    ESPERO TE HAYA SERVIDO MI RECOMENDACION DE ESTOS CASCOS EN SUS 3 COLORES.
