Los audifonos tienen un audio decente, pero generan MUCHA estática y eso se ve reflejado en los sonidos “chirriantes” que muy a menudo se escuchan, es la primera vez que unos audífonos me generan un sonido tan desagradable, otro aspecto a tomar en cuenta es que su micrófono es HORRIBLE pues se escucha muy bajo y con calidad de audio pobre, la verdad no vale la pena tener estos audífonos solo por la tecnología háptica, si estas buscando audifonos te recomiendo los EPOS H3, son de mejor calidad y rondan por el mismo precio

I was a bit hesitant of the “hypersense” feature but I ended up loving it, it’s not that strong that becomes annoying, it complements the bass and actually feels pretty good. It may not be for all people, but I loved it.

Los utilizo para home office, aíslan perfectamente el sonido y el micrófono cancela ruido a la perfección. Sin duda lo mejor para gaming y trabajar.

Ich war nicht sehr zufrieden. Die Qualität der Verarbeitung ist gut aber der Sound ist nur ok. Der Bass ist zu stark, dass einem der Kopf vibriert. Den Sound vom Mirko finde ich nicht gut. Er ist etwas kratzig und viel schlechter als andere Razer headsets. Cool ist jedoch, dass man das Mikro abmachen kann.

Backstory, I was looking for a new gaming headset, and I went with the very highly reviewed hyperx cloud alpha S, and hated it. I decided to try this one out because I’ve always enjoyed razer products, even if there are a few bad reviews.
This headset blows the HyperX out of the water. Better sound, way better comfort, clearer mic, and the hyper sense haptic thing is game changing.
Pros:
-excellent sound quality
-Very comfortable. Ear cups don’t press on jaw like the HyperX, padding is thicker and more resilient feeling.
-Noise cancelling is just right. Little things don’t break immersion, but if someone falls down the stairs or the house catches fire, you’ll hear it.
-mic is very clear. The synapse tests and peer reviews tell me this is the clearest mic I’ve used, plus it has separate adjustable thresholds for volume, background noise filtering, and voice clarification
-Hyper Sense Haptics…. I think this was mostly for People playing FPS games, makes gunfire and such “feel” more real, but as someone who always has Spotify up while gaming, I Love the simulated base this adds in on low/medium settings. You could never get base like that from speakers that strap to your head, but the haptics can emulate having a nice sub nearby. Very nice touch.
-RGB is a tasteful accent, not garish. I also like that I can set which colors I want in my spectrum for various patterns. Setting this to just the shades of blue and green is very nice, and matches the Corsair RGB on my desk/tower
Cons:
-No mute light on mic. This is a nice feature most brands have and I’ve gotten used to. Nice visible indicator that I have my mic muted to prevent embarrassing over sharing.
-Thx surround feature sounds bad. I’m sure it’s great for FPS players that are willing to sacrifice sound quality to have better directional sense, but I’m not a FPS player so it’s not worth the drop in quality. This one isn’t really a detriment, it’s just a feature I don’t use. Sound quality with THX left off is phenomenal.
Overall I’m super excited about this one. This is the best headset I’ve had in my 15+ years of gaming headset usage. Highly recommended.

This headset, the Razer Kraken V3, has got to be the worst I have ever used. It has constant clicks, bad audio quality (especially in music and voice), and a bad experience! The only thing this headset has going for is its good materials, but that doesn’t excuse it.

As I write this review I have only had these for 2 days so I will not speak to the quality of the product as far as wear and tear goes. Suffice to say I’ve never had an issue personally with razer products holding up over time.
You might think sound quality took a hit by the added haptic feature compared to other razer products in this price range. I’m happy to report it has not. It is still, in my opinion, one of the best sounding headphones you can get at this price range. In fact, if your game supports THX, which granted is rare, the 7.1 really shines. I’ve played both Forza Horizon 5 and Warframe (both support THX) and I can tell exactly where sounds are coming from.
Comfort. This is where it takes a small hit for me. I’m a big guy. I have a fat head and big ears. These have slightly smaller cups than previous Kraken models I have owned. They also do not “breathe” as well so for longer gaming sessions you will feel it a little. Its not major and doesn’t make you feel like you need to take them off. But the slightly larger cups of the past would have been greatly welcome for fat heads like me.
Now for the big question for anyone switching to Haptic. Is it worth it? What does it do exactly? Well let me tell you. Its amazing. 100% worth it if you are in the market for new headphones. Like I said, the quality of the sound is there for Razers so if for any reason you don’t like the haptic you can easily turn that off. I don’t see how you wouldn’t like it though. Haptic adds rumbles or thumps depending on whats going on that make you feel what is going on. It can range from a thump and rumbling from an explosion, to tiny thumps with each bullet you fire/get hit by. When watching shows you feel the explosions or say horses run by, you can feel each individual foot step. In one situation an electrified blade was swung by a characters head and it actually felt like the blade was swung right by my head.
That said there is a couple things to say that are the downside to the haptic and why it is a 4 instead of a 5 for me. It has 3 settings. Low, medium, and high. I’m not sure why low is there. It may as well be off. Medium is where I keep it and sometimes it has trouble deciding what to do. I will notice it missing explosions or half way kicking in and then stopping. It seems to be very volume dependent which also means it is dependent on how the sound production is as well. The high setting is kind of nuts with how much power the vibrations can get. Enough so that while it doesn’t actually distort the sound you will still feel as if it does. High to me, and it seems most people is to much. I really wish there was a setting between medium and high. And lastly voice chat. The haptic can and does pick up with voices. When gaming its not really a big deal. Got used to it in just a couple hours. If/when you are just talking, playing D&D, watching a podcast, simply just turn the haptic off.
Music. There really isn’t much to say here. Its simply amazing what a little rumble in your ear on deep notes, drums, even bells can add. If you are into rap you will get that vibration in your head just like you would at the club on those bass hits.
All in all I HIGHLY recommend giving these a try if you are needing new head phones or have the disposable income to try something different. Even with the misses the haptic sometimes has, the benefits far outweigh the downsides. It really does add that next level to audio.
One last thing. The razer synapse program is great. It allows you to set several different profiles for those that love to mess with the equalizer and then easily set which apps/programs use which profiles. If you have a few different profiles for more highs or lows depending on what your watching, you can easily switch which profile the app uses with a drop down menu.

I recently had to replace my aging gaming headphones MPOW EG3’s which at the time I bought them worked really well for my needs. I thought that I would get an “upgrade” so I tried a pair of wireless headphones which sounded horrible and had no eq software. I tried another wireless headphone and then another. Both times the native sound to the headphones had way too much bass and mids were dull and washy. The software that came with both of them simply did not work; the $140 pair had a reddit post that which gave workarounds for software glitches which they haven’t bothered to fix for at least 3 years. Finally I decided to return to wired and I AM SO GLAD that I chose these headphones. Sounded great out of the box, but still a little too much bass. BUT THE EQ SOFTWARE ACTUALLY WORKS! I am a bit of an audiophile as I edit videos for a living, so being able to adjust audio is something I expect. I tried these with a game that know is hard for headphones to get correct, as it has a lot of mixed bass and mids with environmental sounds and music. These headphones with just a few little tweaks SOUND GREAT! They aren’t meant for mixing or mastering music–but they ARE GREAT AS GAMING HEADPHONES!
