i purchased a Razer Kraken yesterday because i needed a headset. i was using headphones before and a separate mic, the Numark PHX/USB, great sounding headphones. when i tested the kraken the sound was terrible, the bass was too much and not solid, the mids drowned by the bass and the highs where not sharp enough. to think that the price of the numark and kraken is almost the same pains me. i love razer products, my mouse and keyboard are all razer but i will never again buy an audio product from them, i am very disappointed.
