From the review: "If you're looking for a dedicated gaming headset with virtual surround sound and just a little bit of flair, the Kraken 7.1 Chroma is a really solid choice. The sound quality is top notch, the microphone quality is great, and Synapse is an easy to use program that gives you plenty of options. What keeps it from being the perfect choice is the fact that the headset doesn't have any hard controls to let you adjust the volume mid-game, and the USB connection prevents you from using it with anything other than your computer or PS4."
The Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 is a gaming headset of the utmost quality and delivers maximum comfort for those long gaming sessions.
I absolutely love my pair! A thousand times better than any Turtle Beach headphones I've ever worn! Don't worry about your headphones being wireless, these headphones are only one usb cable and are very easy to set up.
VGBUZZ: Razer created one hell of a monster with the Kraken PRO headset. Now they are looking to unleash the beast with the Kraken 7.1 USB headset.
The Razer Kraken 7.1 is a Virtual Surround Sound headset. While not true surround sound, it does an excellent job at replicating that sense of immersion with the spot on directional audio, thanks to Synapse 2.0, Razer’s configuration software.
The line between gaming headphones and general use audio equipment is becoming more blurred with each new stride from peripheral manufacturers. As gaming specialists strive for superior quality audio and music enthusiast designs seem to be resting on their laurels and opting for aesthetic improvements over aural, for many the need to have separate equipment for each use has deteriorated. This has never been more evident than with the Razer Kraken, a mid-range headset that can easily stand alongside those twice it’s price.
