Thoughts on Razer Kraken Pro headset

[Ahsan041]

I was browsing through shops when I noticed the headset. Is it any good?

[Guest Kloaked]

NOPE

[werto165]

Get cloud II's. 

[XTankSlayerX]

Stay away from Razer...

 

You're paying for design, not quality...

 

Also... Razer support took so long on my ticket the warranty on my headset ran out

[Paytend01]

get hyper x cloud 2s maybe? they are pretty good

[Digital]

NOPE

Enough said.

[roboplex22]

I bought one as a wee little 12 year old, pretty much because its a Razer product. I regret it every day. I never considered the options, and really wish I would've.

[Ahsan041]

NOPE

 

What about the Logitech G930?

[ICantThinkOfAnyGoodName]

As someone who owned it: stay the hell away from it.

(I never used the Krakens so ignore me.)

 

 

EDIT: Why's my text so fucked up?

Headsets like that are a waste of money in my opinion, but Logitech's headsets aren't as bad as Razer's. I used to have a G230 and it got a thumbs up from me - but it was just okay.

 

As others have suggested, HyperX's Cloud headsets are very good for the money as well, and I can also attest to that. The mics on them are just garbage.

Yup. I replaced my mic with a $5 zalman clip- on works like a dream.

[TechnoTony]

I would say go for the Kingston HyperX Cloud (1 or 2, they're both good)

Did the same, ha.

[thekeemo]

Did the same, ha.

To be fair I have the ones not the twos and I got mine for $14 because the mic was broken by the previous owners cat..

I have the 1's too, but the new one sounds the same more or less.

 

 

Still not a fan of the quality at all.

Honestly you should be wanting these: http://www.amazon.ca/Audio-Technica-ATH-M40x-Professional-Headphones/dp/B00HVLUR54/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1444865286&sr=8-1&keywords=audio-technica+ath-m40x

 

 

Then buy like a microphone separate from the headset.

Spend more for something that won't be any better than the Takstar Pro80? NOPE

 

If between the M40 and M50, sure, save the extra money and get the M40, but it's still overspending.

The Takstar looks like razer built them with their shit plastic lol, audio technica, sennheiser, shure are the best audio companies in the world for audio and so whether you are saying cheaper is better is out of the point because I doubt I could wear those trakstar headphones for at-least 8 hours+.

 

I will leave this here: http://www.amazon.ca/Audio-Technica-ATH-M40x-Professional-Headphones/dp/B00HVLUR54/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1444865286&sr=8-1&keywords=audio-technica+ath-m40x

prepare for incoming hate from linus fan boys.    B)

Far from being a fanboy, I like AudioTechnica's product, it's just that the M40/M50 are overpriced for what you get when you can get more for half the price. In fact, I probably have more experience in the audio field than yourself considering your post there. Glad you left out the 50+ other top companies in the world while you were at it. This only looks like you showing up as the AT fanboy here, I assume because you own a pair.

lol alright fine, we will disregard the Takstar Pro80 despite it's proven track record and history, another in the same price range, Creative Aurvana Live!, clones of the famed and beloved Denon D1001K, and a better buy than both the M40 and M50 at less than half the cost of either and famed by the audiophile community.

I won't call myself an audiophile,  I would like to own a pair of audio technical. 

 

I want to do the same. I was thinking of the m50x. What is the difference between m40x and m50x? If the difference is not significant, I will likely get the m40x for the lower price.

Just get the M40X if you are dead-set on those 2 alone. The difference is simply not significant enough for the jump in price.

M40x sounds more natural so if you're going to listening to your own voice the m40x would be better then the m50x. The m50x has a little more in the highs if I remember correctly but they're both great headphones. If you really got into them you could also get a preamp for them in the future and it would just overall change the quality depending on what you have for taste.
