Again, HyperSense complimented the track by giving the illusion of subwoofer force without actually putting out sub-bass sound, though it worked best at the low or medium settings, since the highest setting triggered too often and felt out of sync with the backbeat. Unlike the Razer Kraken V3, the clamping force doesn't feel fatiguing during long listening sessions.

But with that comes some issues that are unique to the Pro, like the overly cluttered left earcup and not being able to use the headset while charging it. Audio bleed is spread evenly across the range and sounds full-bodied, especially when compared to in-ear headphones.The Razer Kraken V3 Pro are part of this manufacturer's V3 lineup and are wireless gaming headphones with fairly low latency.

Even after I played with equalization settings, most music had a kind of muted, muddied sound to it, which flattened vocals, treble and bass into a single unremarkable soundscape.

I’m not big on multiplayer titles, but I could imagine how beneficial this headset would be in a competitive sense. Their treble response is a lot more neutral, and while it's still a bit overemphasized, dialogue and instruments sound clear and bright. Sub-bass frequencies are what put the thump in music, movies, and games, and they usually require a lot of space to generate. If you intend to use your headphones for more than gaming then pay close attention to the range of the headset and transmitter. If it’s a cinematic action game, you may find the haptic feedback to be an interesting accompaniment that adds to your experience.Out of the box and with their haptic bass set to 'Low', they have a slightly v-shaped sound profile that adds extra boom to mixes. While it may be one of the most comfortable headsets on the market, the audio quality is a bit lacking if you don’t take the time to adjust it to each specific scenario and even then, requiring THX Spatial Audio in some capacity if you want to be on an even playing field with other more competitive devices. The Razer Kraken V3 Pro comes with a wireless dongle thats compatible with PlayStation so you can plug and play instantly, allowing you to enhance your overall console immersion through the combined haptics of your headset and controller.

Cutting-edge haptic drivers in each earcup pick up on audio cues and convert them into realistic vibrations that vary in position, duration, and intensity, providing touch-sensory feedback for in-game sounds. I was skeptical about it as well, but the Kraken V3 HyperSense is, in my opinion, one of the better gaming headsets available for the money. It's also worth noting that you can adjust the haptics to four different levels, either via the physical button or the Synapse software: Low, medium, high or off. The THX Spatial Audio feature provides a solid simulated surround sound effect, offering fairly strong left-right directionality and giving at least a vague sense of whether a sound is coming from the front-right or rear-right.

With their haptic-bass feature set to 'Low', they have an excited sound profile that adds extra boom to mixes while vocals and lead instruments are bright.
