Best Buy has the Razer - Kraken Wired 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox X|S And Xbox One [bestbuy.com] for $31.99

Alternatively Amazon has it for the same price. Razer Kraken Gaming Headset [amazon.com]



Good reviews, but 3.5mm connection. Might be a plus for some, a negative for others. It seems this is only $5 cheaper than previous deals. But $8 is $8

I'm not sure what the differences are between this one and Razer - Kraken X Wired 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox X|S, and Xbox One - Black [bestbuy.com] except $5, and color, and "X". But someone else can probably explain.

*** Edit, 50mm drivers vs 40mm drivers is another difference.





Custom-Tuned 50 mm Drivers
Enjoy superior sound clarity and deep, punchy bass for a wide soundscape. Listen to every detail from subtle footsteps sneaking up behind you to climatic explosions that blow you away.

Cross-Platform Compatability
The Razer Kraken is compatible with PC, Mac, Xbox One|X|S, PS4, PS5 Nintendo Switch and mobile devices with a 3.5mm audio jack.

Retractable Unidirectional Microphone
The unidirectional microphone offers crystal-clear team communication. It is retractable and flexible, allowing you to pull it out of the ear cup when needed and adjust for proximity and position.

3.5mm Audio Cable With In-Line Controls
Control the volume or mute the mic so you can stay focused in-game. The extension splitter cable provides full audio and mic access for platforms requiring separate audio output and mic input ports.

Cooling Gel-Infused Oval Ear Cushions
Cooling gel-infused ear cushions reduce heat build-up, while the leatherette rims provide superior sound isolation. The oval design ensures that they house your ears comfortably.

Bauxite Aluminum Frame With Thicker Headband Padding
The Bauxite aluminum frame of the Razer Kraken is lightweight, flexible and extremely durable. A thicker headband padding relieves even more pressure on the head for long-lasting comfort.

I have one and man it sucks. Bought it for my daughter and she won't even use it so she gave it to me. Gonna donate it to goodwill. The bass is just distorted and gross.

Are you sure is this one? If i remember correctly the one with the problem with the headband is the kraken x lite. I have been using this model for 1 year and 6 months and it's really sturdy.

These things are junk. Just wait until the HyperX Cloud Core headset goes on sale again. It goes on sale super frequently for $30-$35. I have a pair and they sound great. They're also a much better build quality. So much Razer stuff is trash. I'll never understand why so many gamers swear by it. None of them are buying for the quality; that much I can say.

It was this one, not the lite. I get that the headband feels sturdy - mine felt sturdy as well, until it wasn't. Just my experience.

☝🏻agree 100% however these look cooler and are comfortable. I can almost guarantee you your local target or Walmart has these for $25 on their clearance shelf.

Been using mine for two years with no issues, playing mostly FPS games and MMOs.

I decided to get them from Amazon and after a day of use, the audio quality is less than my current Nintendo switch headset. It is comfortable and the mic seems to work fine but the audio just is no no.

So you treated it apathetically and nihilistically?
