So earlier I talked about the Razer Naga, well this is
another peripheral by Razer and this product is a headset.
Earpieces- The earpieces of the Kraken are very comfortable
and give you the ability to play games for a good amount of time, with very
little discomfort. The sound quality is great, maybe a tad bit heavy on the
bass, but I personally enjoy a heavier bass sound. Also, built into the
headphones are separate drivers per ear to give you that immerse sound quality
any gamer is looking for.
Cords- The cords of the Kraken are somewhat of a problem. First, the headset has the ability to just be used for mp3's by plugging into
a Ipod or any type of player. With that said, it is packaged in with a splitter
to be plugged into any PC system with obviously a stereo jack/ microphone jack.
Now normally, I would like this, but with the splitter cord being just over 1
meter long it's far too long and your constantly running over it with your
chair.
Microphone- This is the worst part of the Kraken, and sadly
one of the most important parts to a good gaming headset. The mic just sucks to
put it bluntly; it's flimsy, seems to be made as an afterthought, and so quiet that even
with all the settings maxed out no one could hear me when I screamed into it.
The one thing I liked about it was if I wanted the mic away from my face its
retractable and goes right into the earpieces, but that is a very VERY small
plus.
Look- The Kraken looks amazing coming in two colors: Black
with green lettering or Green with black lettering. The earpieces have a nice
over the ear look and the mic, though flimsy, has a nice look to it instead of
the ball mic its a futuristic look to it. And lastly when you're ready to stop
gaming or pack up to go to a friend's house the headset folds up for easy
storage.
Good:
-Nice look.
-Great sound.
-Folds up for easy storage.
Bad:
-Microphone....how a great company fell so hard with the most
important part puzzles me.
-Cord is too long.
