Decent sound, Not durable.
At first impressions, this pair of headphones seemed like it was a great value, the sound quality was pretty decent for it's price - it's a bit bass heavy, but it is clear. And it fit's comfortably on your ears. The 7.1 surround sound is not obviously true surround sound but it is software simulated, without it turned on, the headphones lacks depth, it's better to leave it on. The microphone quality is okay and clear for gaming, not the best.However, after 7 months of general use (which Razer Support calls this "wear and tear & abuse" - which will not be covered) the headband seemed to crack slightly, 2 months after that it finally snapped, leaving it really uncomfortable and hard to use. I would not recommend this product to anyone who uses it correctly.
Thank you for your feedback

Very comfortable for long hours. However, the frames on Razer products are always this rubbish plastic that breaks apart, my prior, much more expensive Kraken model suffered the same planned obsolescence in the frame. I haven't worn mine out yet but I'd imagine these will last me like 4 months before they need a couple rounds of duct tape to stay attached.
Noticeable unbalanced sound quality, but these regularly go on sale for 30-50% discounts, getting these for $35-$40 is good enough if you just want something decent. In that range you are getting what you pay for.

I got these purely for zoom meetings for work. I just wanted a headset with a mic that didn't look too much like a hardcore gaming headset. I got them during the black friday sale, so for the price I paid these were perfect.

My colleagues say my voice is crystal clear. The sound is fine for meetings. It's not as comfy as my pair of Bose QC35s, I feel the quality of the ead pads aren't as soft, but for the price it's still amazing.

One thing to consider is the mic is a bendable arm so you can't just swivel the mic away entirely like other headsets. This wasn't really an issue for me as having the mic arm always there didn't bother me and I didn't really notice it, it's pretty thin. In fact for me it was a feature because my voice was a bit loud (even though I dialled it down in the software settings) and I fixed it by moving the mic slightly further away from my mouth. If the mic arm was fixed I couldn't have done this, so it was a lucky feature for me.

Works fine and is at a nice budget price point (when on sale, which is every now and then).
Do be aware that the amazon image is of the Kraken not the Kraken X (though the "from the manufacturer" images appear to be correct).
Additionally, as someone else pointed, the headband seems to snap easily? The top headband of the Kraken X is made of plastic. My one has snapped in several places as well. However, some of the synthetic material is still holding it together for now... I don't use this outside of the house so I am a bit concerned about how quickly it snapped. (within 3 months).

Edit: 9 months after purchase, it has snapped in half. Lowered my rating to 2 stars.

bought this on prime day for about 50 dollars and although taking along time to arrive when it did it was great. The microphone and audio quality is good for all the things I need it for. Not to mention the fact that this budget headset come with 7.1 surround sound which along with everything else works great, in game I can tell exactly were enemies are just from sound. The only problem is the fully plastic build but that's what to expect for a budget headset. if you are very serious in gaming I would recommend getting something a bit better but if your just a casual gamer and want something affordable and works well I recommend this

I will give this headset one thing, it's earcups are very comfortable and are very nice when I have my glasses on.
However, the microphone while it is good quality is very quiet to the point where it has to be boosted in software significantly, the right ear is significantly quieter while that can be balanced to a degree in windows it makes the "surround sound" feature useless, and on top of that the plastic it's built out of it very cheap feeling and feels like it's about to break every time I take it on or off.
Bought this while I wait for my mic to RMA, but please don't buy this, you will be wasting your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gute Kopfhörer
Reviewed in Germany on 6 August 2023
Style: Kraken XColour: BlackVerified Purchase
Ich habe die Kopfhörer für 26,99 als "Wie Neu" gekauft hier bei Amazon. Der Code für die spezielle Razer Software war auch dabei. Danke hierfür an den Händler

Die Qualität der Kopfhörer sind sehr Gut es ist zwar Kunststoff, aber es sieht nicht nach billig Ware aus.

Der Sound ist hervorragend am Pc (Über eine separate Soundkarte)
Es dringt kein Geräusch von außen, aber leider hört man auch keinen, wenn derjenige versucht mit einem zu Sprechen.
Der Tragekomfort ist ebenso Gut es drück leicht an den Seiten aber ich bin Brillenträger und sie sind ja auch neu. Daher gebe ich hier keinen Abzug, den ich habe, Kopfhörer erlebt, die schlimmer sind. Die Ohrpolster sind angenehm weich aber sie sind aus Kunststoff daher schwitzt man etwas nach längerem Tragen.
Der Sound ist Kristallklar, kein Rauschen oder ähnliches.

Für ein Gaming Headset super, aber würde ich dafür den normalen Preis von 83,- bezahlen? Nein dafür hat es mir zuviel Kunststoff.
Aber für die Knapp 26,- als Refurbished eine klare Kaufempfehlung

Después de 10 meses de uso, muy decepcionado con la calidad del material, se han empezado a romper la almohadilla en la parte de arriba y cada día se abren mas, para ser la marca que son deberían de ser mas duraderos los cascos, si es verdad que los compre en oferta y me salieron a buen precio, si lo compras sin la oferta y pagas el precio normal y encontrarse con esto de verdad que molesta un poco

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

son unos cascos muy bueno, el sonido es sorprendente, muy livianos y el microfono es flexible pero no se puede quitar, detras del audifono izquierdo hay un boton de volumen o para bloquear el microfono, en cuanto al sonido 7.1 es un sonido emulado por software, no es del todo pulido, pero vale la pena la compra, ya para algo mas especifico que se quiera recomiendo comprar los que traen el puerto usb porque en el trae la tarjeta de sonido y realmente alli esta el audio 7.1
NOTA: el modelo USB de estos cascos no traen el 7.1 integrado, es igual a estos pero por USB, yo me refiero a los cascos que son muchos mas caros que ya pasan los 100€
