Final words and conclusion

Final words and conclusion

The Razer Kraken V3 gaming headphones are available in wired and wireless configurations, they have programmable RGB illumination on both ear cups. Because they come with a warm sound profile out of the box, they may be useful for amplifying boomy sound effects in your video games. Having said that, you can tailor their sound to your preferences using the visual EQ, presets, and other features included in their companion software. Their boom mic also offers a very decent overall performance, which means you should be properly heard when speaking with teammates. In terms of gaming headsets, the Razer Kraken V3 is a good choice if you intend to use it strictly for PC gaming, or watching movies. Music remains debatable.

Wearing Comfort 

My experience with the Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense headset has been positive for the full week that I tested this headset. It provides excellent comfort. The ear cushions are large enough to completely enclose your ear canal. In addition, soft fabric has been applied to the interior of the ear cushions, which prevents the shells from rubbing against your head while yet allowing for adequate airflow. Even after prolonged usage, it continues to be an amazingly pleasant headset to wear and operate. The plush cushioning on the headband also makes a substantial contribution to this effect. The soft feel of both the front and back components of the headset that comes into touch with your head ensures that the headset fits comfortably and does not put pressure on your head. This does not come at the expense of the durability of the Kraken V3 HyperSense.

Quality

Many of Razer's headsets come with the Razer Triforce drivers. This headset, like many of Razer's headsets, comes with these drivers. This model has the 50mm version of the diaphragm with a titanium coating on it. Each layer of these drivers is made up of three parts, which make up a different part of the sound spectrum. In this way, these frequencies are split into two groups, which makes the sound with these drivers more even. There are fewer peaks and dips in the sound level. There is a more even level of sound, which makes you feel like you're hearing real things. These drivers have a titanium coating on the diaphragm, which makes it easier for people to hear them. Both the vocals in music and the voices that people use to talk are made clearer and more natural. With these drivers, the sound quality of this headset has not let me down at all. There is a good sound coming from the headset, whether you want to listen to music, watch a movie, or play hard in your favorite game. Voice and background noise or music from movies and games are very different from each other. I've never seen music or sound become mush, no matter how many times you mix it up. If you don't like how it sounds, you can always change it to your liking, as detailed in the previous chapter. The MIC with this headset is also very good. The microphone doesn't pick up a lot of noise from outside, and the voice is clear and crisp. 

Any Remarks?

Note that the button for adjusting haptic intensity is situated exactly in the center of the right earcup, which means that you may accidentally press it when turning on or off the headset. This would have happened less frequently if this button, along with the mute button for the microphone, had been placed a little further back.

Haptic

We need to talk haptic for a second as it is probably the most defining component of the headset. The haptic drivers differ from conventional haptic drivers in that they may be capable of producing a wider variety of frequencies, and these are in 'stereo'. This results in a more natural sensation for these drivers than it would be for other drivers in the same situation. Furthermore, it differs from traditional haptic drivers in that it operates in stereo rather than mono. The haptic technology in this headset is compatible with any form of sound. Another distinction from typical haptic technology is that it is non-contact. Shooters work fantastic, using it say with Battlefield V or VI, will astound you. Vibrations bring a whole new level of immersion to video games. It's almost mythical how much immersion it can bring to a game, especially a shooter like this one. To be rushing across a battlefield while being shot at feels a lot more true; you can almost feel the bullets whizzing about your ears, and the first grenade that bursts close by almost makes you jump out of your seat. Watching movies brings that same feel, explosions make the headset rumble, bringing in that subwoofer LFE feel, very nice. For music haptic feedback can be a bit of an annoyance though, you'll probably quickly configure it towards the LOW settings. Overall though in terms of the haptic technology effect, I am extremely pleased with this implementation.

Concluding

In terms of gaming headsets, the Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense is a proper choice. The Razer Kraken V3 Pro Hypersense is a gaming headset that uses a combination of more dimensional sound and lifelike vibrations to simulate the real environment (an LFE rumble). Aesthetics wise the headset looks lovely and feels great, the headset is really good, including the sound, haptic feedback, and microphone. Bear in mind that while all of the headsets support the new TriForce Titanium 50mm drivers and THX Spatial Audio, the vanilla Razer Kraken V3 ($99.99) foregoes the Hypersense technology. All of the above are included in the Razer Kraken V3 Hypersense ($129.99) and Razer Kraken V3 Pro ($199.99), the latter of which being a wireless device. The product we tested today was the Pro model with Hypersense technology, and it's an easy top pick.
