I have a ton of headphones and after comparing, I can say this:
1. The Kraken mic is kind of weak, even after I set the input volume to 100 in Windows. But a small mic boost via Windows Properties-Recording-Levels made it ok (I googled how and was done after a few clicks).
2, As for the sound, it's outstanding for a $20 headset-mic combo, so much that I'm thinking about buying another set or two to give as gift(s). It's not as good as some headphone I have that cost me 10 time more money, but is to be expected.
3. Apparently you need to buy a separate adapter for the Xbox so it's kind of misleading to say it's a console headset, more like console-compatible. Lots of angry reviews on Amazon about it, but I'm on PC, not Xbox, so it makes no difference to me. I don't see angry PS4/PS5 users so I guess they don't need an adapter.
4. Headset to mute/volume control cable length is about 18 inches, then maybe another 3 feet till the first plug. Then I plugged in the extension/splitter which 6 feet, give or take for a total of 9 feet of cable. The extensions/plitter plugs right into the front-panel pink (mic) and green (headphones) holes at the front of my PC.
5. Edit: After wearing this for longer, I can say that it's comfortable enough for a few hours of gaming or moviewatching, but not something I'd want to wear for 8 hours at a time or something like that. The comfy earpads are fine, but the headset weighs a bit more than some of my other headsets.
I hope that helped anyone who was curious about the Kraken!
They were also incredibly uncomfortable on my big head after wearing for about 30 minutes. I really liked the look of them and all of the adjustability they have but after a while, they just started to hurt. They're pretty heavy so I think that's why.
