It’s definitely tuned for gaming, though, as I did find music listening to be a little bit of an Achilles heel. On the whole, it’s good, with a great level of bass that many are sure to love. Playing an “Electronic Pop” playlist revealed an engaging high-end, without many traces of sharpness, and a low end that delivers plenty of punch.

Audio quality is yet another area of strength for the Kraken Pro V2; the headset offers an enjoyable listening experience across a wide spectrum of applications. The Kraken Kitty has a cosplay mode that lets you use lighting effects of your choice on the go with a power bank. You can set the default lighting effect of the product in Synapse 3. It will then be saved foruse. Unless you need surround sound or demand the highest quality headset for music, this is one of the best options on the market today. Verdict The ear cushions are larger, softer and better sound-isolating than before. They are easily interchangeable with a choice between circular or oval-shaped designs* allowing for a personalised fit. The top of the headset is layered with leather-like material and has “Razer” etched into the headband. The underside comes with a relatively shallow sheet of foam, with this portion coated in cloth.One of Razer’s biggest strengths is its headset microphones, and that’s the case with the Kraken Kitty Edition V2 Pro. Test recordings sounded clean and clear, with no fuzziness or sibilance. It’s a strong signal and a natural sound. And although we still recommend separate USB mics for serious recording or streaming, the headset’s mic can work for content creation in a pinch.

Through a series of playful gestures, she begins to perform the #RazerKrakenKitty dance—clawing playfully at the camera, shaping and moving her hands like paws, before flapping her hands above her head like cat ears. Gaming is all about immersion, and the Kraken certainly helps to immerse you in the game. Titanfall 2 sounded great, with subtle detail in player footsteps, and plenty of boom from the chaotic destruction.

For the asking price, however, I have few complaints – but I do feel that they could be a little bit better for music listening. Stepping up to such a device as the Astro A40 TR would provide a better musical performance. The left earcup holds a volume wheel, a mic mute switch, and a port for the detachable boom mic. The 6.7-foot, fabric-wrapped cable is permanently attached to the left earcup and terminates in a USB-A plug.The Kraken Pro V2 feels great in the hand, and has been built with perhaps the perfect blend of materials at this price point. We open on our featured streamer, AriGameplays, wearing a cute white and pink outfit, which matches the pink Razer Kraken Kitty Edition headset she’s wearing. The Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 delivers an immersive surround sound gaming experience to enhance your aural situational awareness. You’ll always hear where the enemy is coming from, and where your team is located, to strike with precision. What’s more, the engine is entirely customisable via Razer Synapse, so you can determine the best placement for the audio channels to best fit your own listening preferences. Gaming performance should be the real strength of the Kraken Pro, and they certainly deliver. Battlefield 1 sounded excellent through the Kraken, with an authentic thud to explosions that accurately convey the panic of firefights. The Kraken Kitty V2 Pro is designed to work with both Synapse 3 and the Streamer Companion Apprunning.
