Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Razer Kraken Pro V2 Analog Gaming Headset.

User experience

  • Some owners find the original Kraken 7.1 Chromas uncomfortable for extended use, but the V2's larger ear cushions may alleviate this issue.

    Source
  • Reports indicate Kraken Pro V2 may break within two months, while some users find Turtle Beach Stealth 800 more durable and feature-rich.

    Source

Features and functionality

  • The Kraken V2 reportedly offers impressive sound quality, particularly for gaming, drawing on elements from Razer's ManO'War model.

    Source

    Source
  • Razer Surround software can be installed to enhance the Kraken Pro V2 with advanced surround sound capabilities despite its analog nature.

    Source

Software and compatibility

  • Razer's Synapse software may require frequent reinstallation to resolve issues; buying from a third party can simplify returns compared to dealing with Razer support directly.

    Source

Comparisons

I hate these, BUT...

I hate these. The build quality is not good, the soundstage is claustrophobic, and the frequency response is all over the place, imaging is fine for the most part. Comfort is quite good and I actually like the look and design. But still, I can't think of anything worse to get for the price, but they have two redeeming features in my opinion; the first being they're a useful point of reference. What I mean by that is if your music sounds okay on these, it'll sound good pretty much anywhere. The second is the mic isn't half bad.

A great headset overall. Awesome bass, sound quality, and design.

The Razer Kraken V2 is a headset which offers a lot of great features. First of all, the ear cups are super comfortable, and come in either a circular or oval shape. Personally, I like the circular shape more. The bass on this is incredible, it really makes the bass have its shine. The sound quality is great as it's crisp and you can hear everything perfectly. The re-tractable mic on the headset is awesome for people like me who already have a quality microphone, and don't need one on the headset itself.

If I had to give it one flaw, it would be the EXTREMELY long cable,which is even not that big of a deal. Now, some people might need this, but for me it's not the useful because everything is pretty close together, and I just end up tripping on it sometimes, but I can see the use of it for other people.

All in all, this headset is a must buy from me. The bass, sound quality, and just slick design, it's amazing.
