It looks and feels the same as the Pro V2 and the Tournament Edition at first glance, which is fine. This headset is like the rest of the Kraken line in that it has a unique look and is well made. The outside and look are mostly the same, but there have been changes and improvements under the hood. The look is just as cool as previous Krakens, with the same design quirks and mix of colors. The two main parts, the solid headband and the semi-open earcups, fit together perfectly and still work as a whole.
The earcups still feel sturdy, but they are also light. The headband feels very secure and has more padding than ever. Each click on the sizing ratchet is strong and unlikely to slip. Given how well it was made and how strong the materials were, we might have thought it would be heavy, but it only weighs about 10.5 ozs/300 grams, which is very light. Impressive.

Where to get Razer Kraken Gaming Headset?
On the headset itself, there are no buttons built into the structure or case, and the cups are smooth and do not have any decorations on them. In terms of features, the headset and sound are where the Kraken really shines. The cool, foldable microphone is another standout feature. It’s very small, and because you can put it away, you can use the Kraken as regular headphones or as a full-fledged gaming headset.
Like the TE, there is a small, built-in control box at the end of the wire. It has a volume dial and a microphone, just like the TE. It’s easy to use and the only control on board, but it’s important to know that the volume roller affects all audio, not just game or chat audio. Depending on your tastes, it might take some time to find the right balance. The cable has an audio jack connection, so it works with all gaming sets, whether you play on a computer, console, mobile phone, or tablet. It also comes with a splitter, which is perfect for separating the input for a mic and headphones. Handy.
