Razer Kraken Ultimate review: Tournament Edition features with consumer polish

The Kraken Ultimate looks pretty good, sounds pretty good, and is priced pretty good. That's not enough to stand out, but you can't go wrong with it either. And hey, at least Razer finally added a volume wheel.

A volume wheel! At last! ; "Underglow" lighting looks pretty neat ; THX Spatial Audio is a decent software-driven surround

Ridiculously large ; Sound is "okay" for the price ; Mediocre microphone

The Kraken Ultimate is a solid package. It looks pretty good, it sounds pretty good, and the price is pretty good. There are better headsets for the money, but you won’t go wrong with a Kraken Ultimate either.

Razer Kraken headset review

Razer's quality in sound continues to prevail.

Superior gaming sound quality ; Performs well with other medias ; Great design and build quality

Slight discomfort after long sessions ; Sound won’t match more expensive headsets

A truly tremendous gaming headset you can easily have confidence in. It’ll have you well covered whatever you like playing, delivering quality and rich sounds to your ears consistently, while also competent enough to be your go-to headphones for other...

Comfortable is the key.

I owned several Heaphones that are below $50. Including MDR ZX & XD series from Sony Sennheiser's HD201. Samsung's SHS 100V &L600 By far, this heaphone is the most comfortable. :D - Comfortable. - Average sound. - Price meets its point. - Designed for...

- It has a logo on top of the headphone. Poor design choice. - Too big and not made for a sleep time relaxation. (you can't sleep side ways while listening to the e-book reader... darn!) - Low Bass. (.... it's horrendous. Loud bass sound ..... kills me...
