Title: Fantastic.
Review: 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 Iâve 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 donât press on jaw like the HyperX, padding is thicker and more resilient feeling.-Noise cancelling is just right. Little things donât break immersion, but if someone falls down the stairs or the house catches fire, youâll hear it.-mic is very clear. The synapse tests and peer reviews tell me this is the clearest mic Iâve used, plus it has separate adjustable thresholds for volume, background noise filtering, and voice clarification-Hyper Sense Hapticsâ¦. I think this was mostly for People playing FPS games, makes gunfire and such âfeelâ 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 Iâve gotten used to. Nice visible indicator that I have my mic muted to prevent embarrassing over sharing.-Thx surround feature sounds bad. Iâm sure itâs great for FPS players that are willing to sacrifice sound quality to have better directional sense, but Iâm not a FPS player so itâs not worth the drop in quality. This one isnât really a detriment, itâs just a feature I donât use. Sound quality with THX left off is phenomenal.Overall Iâm super excited about this one. This is the best headset Iâve had in my 15+ years of gaming headset usage. Highly recommended.

Title: Elevate Your Gaming Experience with the Razer Kraken V3 X!
Review: I recently picked up the Razer Kraken V3 X Wired USB Gaming Headset, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! From the moment I unboxed it, the sleek design and comfortable fit caught my eye. The lightweight construction makes it easy to wear for long gaming sessions without any discomfort.The audio quality is phenomenalâcrystal-clear sound that immerses you in the game. Whether I'm listening to subtle in-game details or enjoying my favorite music, everything sounds rich and vibrant. The customizable RGB lighting is a nice touch, adding a bit of flair to my gaming setup.The microphone quality is impressive as well, with clear voice capture and minimal background noise. Itâs perfect for in-game chat and streaming. Plus, the controls are easily accessible, allowing me to adjust the volume or mute the mic on the fly.Overall, the Razer Kraken V3 X is a fantastic headset that delivers on both performance and comfort. I highly recommend it to any gamer looking to enhance their audio experience!
Reviewer: I had this for a week and itâs worked really well, building it was fun but it does take a few people to build it. Some parts did come damage but it was easy to fix, honestly this works really well. You do need to buy your own plates but from there everything else comes with it. Also it super fast shipping which was great!!

Title: Take your gaming/movie experience to the next level.
Review: As I write this review I have only had these for 2 days so I will not speak to the quality of the product as far as wear and tear goes. Suffice to say I've never had an issue personally with razer products holding up over time.You might think sound quality took a hit by the added haptic feature compared to other razer products in this price range. I'm happy to report it has not. It is still, in my opinion, one of the best sounding headphones you can get at this price range. In fact, if your game supports THX, which granted is rare, the 7.1 really shines. I've played both Forza Horizon 5 and Warframe (both support THX) and I can tell exactly where sounds are coming from.Comfort. This is where it takes a small hit for me. I'm a big guy. I have a fat head and big ears. These have slightly smaller cups than previous Kraken models I have owned. They also do not "breathe" as well so for longer gaming sessions you will feel it a little. Its not major and doesn't make you feel like you need to take them off. But the slightly larger cups of the past would have been greatly welcome for fat heads like me.Now for the big question for anyone switching to Haptic. Is it worth it? What does it do exactly? Well let me tell you. Its amazing. 100% worth it if you are in the market for new headphones. Like I said, the quality of the sound is there for Razers so if for any reason you don't like the haptic you can easily turn that off. I don't see how you wouldn't like it though. Haptic adds rumbles or thumps depending on whats going on that make you feel what is going on. It can range from a thump and rumbling from an explosion, to tiny thumps with each bullet you fire/get hit by. When watching shows you feel the explosions or say horses run by, you can feel each individual foot step. In one situation an electrified blade was swung by a characters head and it actually felt like the blade was swung right by my head.That said there is a couple things to say that are the downside to the haptic and why it is a 4 instead of a 5 for me. It has 3 settings. Low, medium, and high. I'm not sure why low is there. It may as well be off. Medium is where I keep it and sometimes it has trouble deciding what to do. I will notice it missing explosions or half way kicking in and then stopping. It seems to be very volume dependent which also means it is dependent on how the sound production is as well. The high setting is kind of nuts with how much power the vibrations can get. Enough so that while it doesn't actually distort the sound you will still feel as if it does. High to me, and it seems most people is to much. I really wish there was a setting between medium and high. And lastly voice chat. The haptic can and does pick up with voices. When gaming its not really a big deal. Got used to it in just a couple hours. If/when you are just talking, playing D&D, watching a podcast, simply just turn the haptic off.Music. There really isn't much to say here. Its simply amazing what a little rumble in your ear on deep notes, drums, even bells can add. If you are into rap you will get that vibration in your head just like you would at the club on those bass hits.All in all I HIGHLY recommend giving these a try if you are needing new head phones or have the disposable income to try something different. Even with the misses the haptic sometimes has, the benefits far outweigh the downsides. It really does add that next level to audio.One last thing. The razer synapse program is great. It allows you to set several different profiles for those that love to mess with the equalizer and then easily set which apps/programs use which profiles. If you have a few different profiles for more highs or lows depending on what your watching, you can easily switch which profile the app uses with a drop down menu.

Title: Great headphones!
Review: My daughter suggested these to me after my computer started refusing to pair my Bluetooth headphones. I needed something for meetings and also watching the occasional movie with someone in Discord voice chat.We tried these out and they work beautifully. Voice and mic is crisp and clear. Watching a movie while in voice chat sounds much better than it did on my (more expensive) Bluetooth headphones. Music doesn't sound quite as good but it's not bad at all. These are very comfortable too.Highly recommend!

Review: Los audifonos tienen un audio decente, pero generan MUCHA estática y eso se ve reflejado en los sonidos âchirriantesâ que muy a menudo se escuchan, es la primera vez que unos audÃfonos me generan un sonido tan desagradable, otro aspecto a tomar en cuenta es que su micrófono es HORRIBLE pues se escucha muy bajo y con calidad de audio pobre, la verdad no vale la pena tener estos audÃfonos solo por la tecnologÃa háptica, si estas buscando audifonos te recomiendo los EPOS H3, son de mejor calidad y rondan por el mismo precio
