The Razer Kraken Pro V2 are a sturdy and durable gaming headset with a great microphone. The mic accurately reproduces your voice and filters out a lot of backgr. So Razer decided to revamp their classic headset the Kraken Pro. Sure, it looks different but how does it.

The Razer Kraken Pro isn’t new, per se, but this iteration of it certainly is. Like the special version of the Razer Taipan released earlier this year, the Razer Kraken Pro now comes in a glossy white. Sure, Razer’s strict neon green/black color scheme has its proponents, but I personally enjoy seeing the company branch out a bit.

Anyway, the build quality of the white Kraken Pro is solid. I didn’t really like Razer’s choice of glossy white plastic on the Taipan Pro—it was a bit hard and uncomfortable when my hand was accustomed to soft-touch rubber coatings and the like. On your head though? It’s perfect, giving the Kraken Pro a high-end, professional look. That is, it would look professional if it weren’t for the ghastly “fake cut” Razer logo on the top of the headband. Everything else about this headset, even Razer’s snake logo emblazoned on each earpiece, looks sleek and professional.

Then there’s just this cheesy typographical nightmare on top. Ah well, you can’t win them all. The earcups on the Kraken Pro are a bit smaller than your average headset, with a circular shape rather than elliptical. While my ears still fit inside, it wasn’t nearly as roomy as I’d like.

However, the actual tension of the headband is perfectly tuned, meaning if you’ve got small ears you could use this headset for a while, no problem. The Kraken Pro’s sound is decent, warm, with a slight boost to the bass.

Out of all the here today, this is probably one of the strongest when it comes to listening to music (up there with the ). You’d better like the sound of the Kraken Pro, as unlike its older sibling the Kraken 7.1 you have no Razer software solution for EQ. I did notice a slight muffled quality to the sound, but it wasn't enough to detract from your experience playing games. It’s primarily noticeable with gunshots—they’re not as sharp and crisp as you can achieve with other headsets.

Dialogue also suffers a little. It’s workable.

It gets the job done. That’s the best way to describe the Kraken Pro. It’s not really aiming for anything special, and it doesn’t achieve anything special.

It’s just an average pair of headphones. I’d also like to point out that I had easily the least amount of noise leakage with this headset, so it’s perfect for quiet environments. You do get one luxury feature, in the form of a retractable microphone. Retractable microphones are great, considering they’re almost invisible when you don’t need them but don’t get lost or need the additional 3.5mm jack like a detachable mic. The microphone is decent quality, fully positionable. There’s no way to noise-gate, however, so it’s prone to breathing/swallowing noises depending on how you arrange it. The main issue, and what really sinks the Kraken Pro for me, is that there are no on-the-fly controls—no in-line controls attached to the (lengthy) wire, and no controls built into the headset as far as I can tell.

That means you have no way to adjust the volume of the headset and, more importantly, you have no way (that I can tell) to mute the microphone outside of potentially retracting it entirely, a process that takes more than a bit of effort. When’s the last time you bought a headset without some form of on-the-fly controls? I don’t even know, in my case. At this price point, that’s unacceptable. Even the $60 SteelSeries RAW Prism, with all its issues, built in a mute button. Bottom line I’m happy to see Razer making products in color schemes I’d actually want to use, but the Kraken Pro’s in desperate need of an overhaul if it wants to stay competitive at this price.

With circular earcups, 40mm drivers (as opposed to the now-standard 50mm), and a lack of in-line controls, the Kraken Pro is showing its age. It’s not the worst headset out there by a long shot, but there are better options for the money.

It helps to have an education in dangerous snakes, rodents, and mythological creatures, but for the layman the is its mid-range wired headset designed for eSports in that it's light (crucial for long gaming sessions) and affordable at $80 / (). As its name implies, the Kraken Pro V2 is a step above Razer's Kraken Pro, with 50 mm audio drivers instead of 40 mm, and an aluminum unibody construction. Both the Pro and the Pro V2 have an inline volume and mute control and retractable mic.

The Kraken Pro V2's improvements also increased its price a bit over the Pro, making it something of a 'premium' entry-level headset. It's also compatible with PS4 and Xbox One, or anything with a 3.5mm audio jack. More Expert Tech Roundups • • • • • • The round ear cushions are quite large and provide good over-ear coverage, and if you have tall ears (as opposed to round) you can swap the cushions out for a set of oval-shaped cushions, but sadly they are sold separately for $20.

Generic ones are available on Amazon for as little as $5 though. The cushions themselves are soft and have a decent amount of give, and even while wearing them over glasses there's no pressure, and they feel comfortable. They don't breath particularly well though, and after a short gaming session in a warm room I found the cushions were toasty and a bit sweaty. The Kraken Pro V2 deliver serious punch on the bottom end thanks to its 50 mm audio drivers.

Gunshots, explosions, and bass-heavy music can be heard and felt, and the Kraken delivers bass without muddying or washing out the mids and highs too. The retractable, unidirectional microphone is a nice touch and gives the headset versatility outside of gaming. As opposed to a detachable mic, you don't have to worry about misplacing it, and it's quite nice to not have to worry about losing it when using the headset strictly for listening to music or podcasts. The mic retracts easily and essentially disappears into the headset when you don't need it, making it less cumbersome than a flip-up design. When used during gaming, the mic captures great sound.

You probably wouldn't want to use it to record a podcast, but for in-game voice chat, it's perfect. It maintains a nice, even level without peaking or coming across to listeners as muffled or muted. It lacks a foam pop filter/windscreen, which would interfere with its retractable design, but it doesn't seem to negatively affect voice chat. There's also a handy inline control that lets you quickly mute the mic if you want to talk to someone in the real-world, a nice feature we wish more people online should take advantage of. The frame is adjustable to fit most head sizes, and the headset works really well with PlayStation VR. Wearing the Kraken Pro V2 is a really great way to experience PS VR, as the over-ear design helps keep the real world out of your virtual experiences.

The great fit means you're more likely to tire of wearing the VR headset than the audio headset. More Comprehensive Headset Reviews • • • • • • Like 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. The Kraken Pro V2 produces good sound when gaming or listening to music. The 50mm drivers add an extra layer of effectiveness to sounds, especially in a game like. The dozens of explosions, raucous gunfire, and screaming heavy metal soundtrack all come through and truly add to the overall experience of playing the game. In CS: GO, there's enough range in the earpieces to keep an ear out for the footsteps of an approaching enemy, and the mic does a fine job delivering helpful advice to anyone you just defeated. Listening to music on an iPhone, the Kraken Pro V2 is leaps and bounds above the earbuds that come packaged with the device and are a huge upgrade.
