Hello, I have been looking around on the internet for some good headsets for under £100. I have found Razer Kraken 7.1 surround usb gaming headset but is this good? It has around 320 customer reviews with 4 stars on amazon.

 

Link to the headset: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Razer-Kraken-Surround-Digital-Headset/dp/B00EO18U6M/ref=sr_1_15?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1414572572&sr=1-15&keywords=razer

Get out of here you heathen. The HyperX cloud looks damn fine. ALso the 7.1 is a bit meh. I'm ditching my Logitech G35 for a Hyperx :P

The krakens are seriously terrible

 

The Cloud is decent, or buy a pair of good heapdhones and get a clip on mic or something, but razer headsets are really terrible
