The Kraken V4 X is the RGB pick of our headset list. Razer Chroma lighting on the ear cups syncs with the rest of a Razer setup, and the retractable HyperClear cardioid mic slides back into the cup when you are not talking.
It connects over USB-C, with a USB-A adapter in the box, and uses Razer TriForce 40 mm drivers. At 310 g it is heavier than the BlackShark V2 X. The 7.1 surround is software based and needs Windows 11.
Where it sits in real desks, and why it earned its place there.
Why it is here
A wired USB headset with Chroma RGB ear cups that sync with the rest of the desk, and a mic that tucks into the ear cup when you are not on voice chat. It has no noise cancelling.
