Just ordered this the other day. The mic does sound pretty disappointing but luckily i'm using a separate mic with a boom arm. Other than that they look and feel very nice and the headphone sound quality is great for general use, movies and gaming. Currently using this on a PC, not sure if it will be any different on a console or mobile.
Just bought a pair and coming from the Blackshark V2 Pro 2023 I am very disappointed. First is that i have a smaller oval shaped head and even on the smallest setting they slide off my head. Never had an issue with other Razer headsets. Second is they are very hollow sounding out of the box. Definitely not as much bass as the Blackshark V2 Pro. Third is the microphone while designed very well constantly echoes on my PS5. No matter what i do on Synapse i couldn't remedy that. So weird because they honestly feel premium considering the all plastic build. I love the voice prompts for power on but also microphone on/off which I wish the Blackshark had. Also the red led indicator for mic mute is nice. Could have been better but I guess they focused on the RGB more
Didn't the Kraken have some metal in the build like gen 1 of gen 2? It's like they lost the durability in favor of RGB. I'm always hesitant with a all plastic headset even though I am very careful with my peripherals.
Aside from the RGB, those look pretty nice. I also continue to be very impressed with what Razer has been able to do with their mics. Steelseries definitely needs to take a few notes there
started with that, then got the blackwidow v4 keyboard. imho its amazing and i have the basilisk ultimate which is perfect. now im lookin for a new headset bc my steelseries arctis 9x connection is spotty, but the microphone on this kraken v4 is killing me. love wireless headsets and want this one but damn is it worth?
It seems a bit of a down grade from the kraken v3 pro as they have less good drivers, less comfort, less good build quality, isn't it more useful just to have a detachable mic as you probably have a mic if you're buying these. All that in favor of some rgb which was already good
Honestly not a fan of razer products these days. I respect their innovation and the evolution of their mice, headsets, ect. I think I've just grown away from them. Their stuff definitely is great for some people and i hope those of you who buy this headset thoroughly enjoy it! Happy gaming everyone!
I forgot to mention, i definitely enjoy these videos. Quick and to the point without the fluff. This format really works for me. Thank you for your work on these videos!
they make one of the best perhipals in the market i ever seen im using their products and im a big sweater when i game i almost spill half a liter sweat to my keyboard and mouse and it holds perfectly so far
@@Klongu_Da_Bongu you can contact with their support and get a replacement really easily i live outside the U.S and EU they even helped me with my issue back in the day
Great video. Razer has kind of fallen off in the quality department as well as synapse practically being a virus itself, injecting deep into Windows (synapse caused my 7800x3D to overclock in idle hitting ~60c with no applicatios open). I personally think there are more options nowadays that do much better, but wanted to comment for the algorithm.
will there be a kraken v4 pro?

Which one is better, Razer Kraken V4 vs Razer BlackShark V2 Pro 2023?
Guys, I want to ask😂 Which is better for playing FPS games like Hunt: Showdown or Valorant, Razer Kraken V4 X or HyperX Cloud Alpha S?
How does it compare to the Razer Barracuda Pro?
Ese kraken v4 sería mejor que el kraken v3 pro?
Are the EQ presets saved on headset? will these take effect on ps5 ?

This one has metal, doesn't it?
@@fejotore no, fully plastic and padding
@@daguyshetellsyounottoworryabt rather go with nova 5, same build yet cheaper

Do they no longer gave hypersense? Haptic feedback
They do on the $400 V4 Pro version
Only razer item I have is a mouse and it’s fantastic.

Is it metal on the swivel part?
All plastic build
For that much money the mic better be a competitor for the black shark. Sadly it is not
Not ANYWHERE close to the $549 .99 Canadian asking price.... what a joke!
Downgrades after downgrades after downgrades. But hey it's got more rgb
The mic is pretty good! I think they sound way better than the Nova Pro wireless
You are delusional. The microphone is horrible.
The mic is horrendous!

All that in favor of some rgb which was already good
Battery life is trash in the v3 prod
I wish there was a white version
When are they releasing the RAZER Crack?

Are you usually dishonest?
@@MrBubbles.. I had a Blackwidow V4 for 2 months and it has double typing issues... No doubt razer can make good stuff but sometimes they mess up big.

i wish i liked then more.. they are always too big for my head even at the smallest setting
nahh i can still hear ur keybord i would still go for a50x ilas my first gaming

Nothing has changed, its still a bad headset.
