Razer Kraken 7.1 V2

Sturdier aluminum chassis ; Finally ditches the streetpunk look of its predecessors ; Better audio than the old Kraken, especially after EQ adjustments

Bulky looking ; Out-of-the-box audio is flat and lifeless ; No volume controls

It’s a big year for Razer. Less than six months ago, I was ragging on the outclassed Kraken in my Man O’ War review. Now the Kraken’s folded in many of the Man O’ War’s improvements, but with a durable aluminum design and much more affordable $100...

Only available in green here

Excellent product
