Razer kraken pro gaming headset review

Most notably, it now comes with 50 mm audio drivers rather than 40 mm with a wider frequency range of 12Hz — 28kHz where the original was limited to 10Hz to 20kHz. This should help the overall sound and dynamic range of the audio. Having tested numerous Razer Kraken headsets in my life, I had some expectations going into the review. Previous Razer Krakens were all tuned to favor heavy bass which ultimately caused muddled mid and high ranges which made the headsets fun for explosion heavy gaming and movies, but little else.

However, the new Razer Kraken Pro V2 proved to be a different beast. While the new Razer Kraken Pro v2 still favors the low end, Razer has significantly dialed back the bass bringing back clarity to the highs and the mids. This is most apparent in vocal heavy music, TV, and movies where in prior versions of the Kraken, it would sound like people were talking through a earmuffs. With the Razer Kraken Pro V2, vocals are now clean and clear which makes it a significantly more enjoyable experience for a variety of different applications.

Even in gaming, you need to hear the crunch of the explosions, the crack of gunshots, the clash of swords, not just the dull thud of the bomb going off as it reverberates around your eardrums, slowly caressing them into oblivion.

Unless, of course, bass-heavy noise is your thing. In which case, don't let us get in the way. It isn't all doom and gloom for Razer. The headset is a lovely fit. The earcups are a little small, though they do surround your ears well-enough.
