Razer Kraken v3 Pro Wireless headset review 4

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/09/2022 03:21 PM [ 16 comment(s) ]

We take a look at the Razer Kraken v3 pro, the company's latest premium gaming headset series. A gaming and music-obsessed audiophile headset that has been improved once again with additional capabilities. This headset features haptic technology, which causes the earcups to rumble in response to bass. And that was significantly more enjoyable than anticipated.

Thank you for the review.

I noticed that you mentioned nothing about the battery life? Or did miss it?

It's a pity one has to fiddle with EQ settings. The mark of good drivers for sound reproduction, is me not having to do it all.

It should only be used when you as an individual struggle to hear in certain frequency ranges, not to make up for drivers that are trying to be something they are not.

Also, I hope you used a proper dedicated sound card too? On board audio still remains garbage till this very day.

Ah any case, if there is one thing that audiophiles know, not one sound system sounds the same for every individual, one of the hardest things to review.

Audiophiles should probably not be buying Razer products to listen to their audio on :p I mean it might be alright, but it's probably a trash product overall. Made to be sold at a premium to people who trust that Razer as a brand - a mouse-maker - has the skills to pull off sound engineering. Or the desire to actually put money in to that instead of just buying some existing product and putting it inside a Razer shell and slapping on some Razer gimmicks like lighting and rumble packs.

Also if you're on a wireless device you are probably using some USB wireless tech like bluetooth that is full of latency and compression or a different standard, none of which are going to be affected by the quality of your soundcard or other things like high quality external DAC. But it's a 129$ headset - 199 for the wireless - what level of quality can you actually expect at such a low price - is the question.

Yes, you are right of course; however, that doesn't mean that they couldn't have finally released a premium product with haptic feedback. Which I would have been interested in.

As for the wireless issue, one does have the option to go wired, and would have been used this way, and only used in wireless when the situation calls for it.

Not sure why but the conclusion page is showing the Corsair Virtuoso SE photo not the Kraken, was that intentional?

Thanks
