Customer Ratings & Reviews

– OVERVIEW– The Razer Kraken V4 Pro is a multi-platform headset with Razer’s Sensa Haptics HD feedback feature, a first offering from Razer. It comes with a dedicated OLED audio controller to switch various settings and whatnot with ease. Sound is driven by Triforce Bio-Cellulose 40mm drivers, and sound enhancements come in the form of THX Spatial Audio for a 3D audio experience. Chat capability comes with its retractable boom mic. And finally, what’s a Razer product without its iconic Razer Chroma RGB lighting?? You’l get nine zones of ear cup lighting for that full customizability. – LOOK/FEEL – Razer has always made premium products, and this headset is no different. In hand, it feels very well built despite its mainly plastic construction. The earcups feel very substantial and the leatherette cushions sit nicely over your ears. The earcups can swivel 90 degrees in (towards you) and about 20-30 degrees out for that perfect fit around your head to improve noise isolation. The headband can be extended on each side for a better fit around your head. The outer headband is also made of leatherette material and the inner headband is a comfortable soft material. – CONNECTIVITY – Probably one of the key features of this headset is its versatility in receiving input. With the use of the 2.4GHz audio controller, you can connect up to three inputs, and I'll organize it as such: PC, Console and 3.5mm. For me, I have my PC and PS5 currently connected to the controller and I can switch back and forth between the two. Outside the use of the controller is its Bluetooth 5.3, so you can connect this to your smartphone for Bluetooth calls and media. What’s so great about this version of the Kraken is its ability to SIMULTANEOUSLY stream from the audio controller and Bluetooth. So take a call or listen to music over BT while playing your favorite game, for instance; there’s no need to switch between the two. Lastly, you have the option to go wired USB from the Kraken to your device. – SETUP – Setup was a breeze, really. Bluetooth setup is as simple as powering on and putting it into pairing mode. My iPhone was able to discover and connect to it easily. Connecting the audio controller was also easy. It only has three ports (USB-C, USB-A, AUX) and there is no need for power as it probably comes through the USB connection (AUX will need to rely on a single USB connection if used alone). For me, I didn’t use the AUX port, but I did connect the USB-A to my PS5 and the USB-C to my PC. – USAGE – Starting with the headset itself, Razer affectionados will find familiarity with its controls. It has 4 main buttons and a volume wheel. Very simple. On the left earcup is power and mic mute, and on the right cup is haptic level and sound profile. The power button is the only button with a texture to it so you don’t mistake it for the mic button, but honestly the placement of each button is far enough that you’ll figure it out really quick. The power button doubles as your play/pause/next/previous for media. The haptics button and sound profile button have two methods of use (single and double press) as well. When you single press the haptics button, you toggle through the haptic intensities (low, medium, high, off) and when you double press, you toggle through the haptics profiles (dynamic, custom [configured in the Synapse App], controlled, balanced). The sound profile tap/double tap functions are a bit different; single tap to cycle through the sound profiles (game, movie, music, custom [configured in the Synapse App]), BUT double tap toggles between Hyperspeed Wireless and Bluetooth. The only reason I can think of this being an option is if you do not use the audio controller with the headset. That would mean you’re tethered to your PC via USB cable and connected to your Phone, but you won’t have a simultaneous stream coming from both. This is very similar to the behavior found in other Razer headsets. Aside from those buttons, there is the volume wheel which is very intuitive to use. – PERFORMANCE – From a gamers’ perspective, they’re a very capable headset and share a lot of the qualities of its siblings. Every person is different and obviously it’s not a one-size-fits-all…but I could say that this is a one-size-fits-most. From a console gaming perspective, it will be plenty using its “game” sound profile which brings out all the treble you need for FPS…then a combo platter of movie/music for anything else that makes sense for what you’re playing. If accessible, creating a custom profile on Synapse for a specific game would probably be best. Of course, you’d need a PC. From a PC gaming perspective, you’ve got a lot of options. THX Spatial Audio is achievable in this realm, and there are a growing list of games that support this feature; these games can be identified on the Razor website. Of course, Cyberpunk 2077 is always a fun one to test for THX and the Krakens do not disappoint. Razer Synapse will identify games installed on your PC and mark them as THX supported. Of course, you’ll still have your various sound modes within hands’ reach and the ability to create a custom sound profile. Movie and music watching are great as well, although this headset is gamer centric and there are other headsets that provide better staging for non-gaming. Even Razer’s Barracuda Pro flip the script and put lifestyle first before gaming, in my opinion. But you won’t be disappointed here. Now a lot of us are here for the Sensa Haptics. I honestly think the haptics feature works well with gaming and movie watching. It’s a very cool experience while I played Horizon Zero Dawn on PS5; I was able to toggle through the haptic profiles and levels to get it where I wanted it. I found myself enjoying haptics low and custom…that’s just my preference. On PC, even Sensa can be further customized at a per-game level. While you can set default haptic profiles per game, Razer has worked with developers to come up with game-specific haptic profiles to cue off game actions and make it even more immersive. Cyperpunk also benefits from a customized Sensa profile and as this rumble feature is new and super cool to me, I have to trust that the profile fits the game actions. You can always switch back to the audio-to-haptics profiles, which I think works well anyway. As far as movie watching, I loved replaying the Omaha scene in Saving Private Ryan; it kind of made me feel like I was in the movie theatre with all the shaking. There was still a lot of audio clarity in terms of voice dialog as well as the rifles firing and bullets whistling through the air. Sensa does a great job here! As I mentioned above, Sensa Haptics is very cool for gaming, but I couldn’t really say the same for music. It just feels like someone turned the gain up on the subwoofer and drowns out the treble. I typically turn off Sensa for music. – GOTCHAS – Razer claims about 50 hours with Haptics and Lighting off…and only on the 2.4GHz connection. If you have those both on, you’re lucky to get 13 hours. 13 hours is still plenty for a weekend warrior like me, and I always have an available charge cable handy. Some of you guys that go the distance may elect to turn off the very features that make this headset stand out from the rest. – CONCLUSION – The Razer Kraken V4 Pro is definitely a nice to have…but it comes at a price. If haptics and simultaneous 2.4GHz/Bluetooth audio are a must for you, then I’d say they’re worth the price. But if you’re just looking for some traditional headsets with premium audio, you can probably save a few bucks and look elsewhere.

If anyone remembers the problems the V3 Pro had ( like not showing up in synapse or not even working at all) the V4 pro seems to have fixed them. the price is defiantly high for this headset but overall this headset is extremely good, and has some really neat features, the adapter it comes with is a little tricky at first but very easy to mess with after tampering with. ( i recommend using synapse 4 instead of the box unless you are editing or recording, but it is handy to change settings without opening the software.) only draw back is the haptics can give your brain a shock if they are to high and after a while if you wear glasses the earcups can become somewhat uncomfortable. Other than that Sound quality is amazing and has lots of customizable options

A lot of the features are nice, I’ve had a few weird bugs here and there but nothing major. Haptics are cool and worth getting in future headsets, I just wonder if the price tag is justified vs. the Arctis Nova pro’s.

This is an excellent headset with a great build quality. I just don’t think its features justify how expensive it is. Hopefully it will drop in price to be more enticing. I haven’t had any issues with it though.

about this headset thinking that it would be the best headset ever and it was the most expensive one that best buy had to offer however I hooked it up to my PC I downloaded all the apps needed etc etc to adjust all the balancing of the sound bass trouble everything and these things could not put out more bass than what it sounds like clicking a toothpick on a stone top counter I would not recommend these headphones just because of how expensive they are now if they were to be only maybe what the sound quality is worth and only around $150 then yeah maybe these would be ideal set but no absolutely not do not buy these whatever you do if you are a hardcore gamer and expect bass and surround sound and directional fire while playing call of duty whatever you do beware all the money put into these is just for the stupid LED lights that friends get to look at when you're using them and go oh that's cool looking headset man

Ok it is cool to have a OLED screen but in functionality terms definately not good. To take tour hands off the keyboard or mouse to go all the way to adjust game/chat balance its just takes too long. They should’ve put a wheel for the game/chat balance on the headset cups instead just being on the oled; to make it easier and give more options. If you’re pauing $400 for a headset, at least should be exactly how it is easier for you to adjust it. Haptics feedback is very good BUT just doesn’t worth 400 bucks for that.

Best headset for the price . This headset fits all of my needs.. yes a little pricy but this is an all in one headset to Game on for movies and for your daily music.. i highly recommend this headset.
