About this deal
Made of Bauxite aluminum, the entire frame of the Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 is lightweight, flexible and incredibly durable. It has been tested extensively to withstand the rigors of pro-gaming. The headband was designed for balanced weight distribution and reduced clamping force to maximise comfort during lengthy gaming sessions.

If you want the ears to light up on the go, Cosplay Mode lets you run the lights from a USB power bank. Cosplay Mode only supports static colors, color cycling, and color “breathing” modes; you can't customize colors. Unless you need surround sound or demand the highest quality headset for music, this is one of the best options on the market today. Verdict One of Razer’s biggest strengths is its headset microphones, and that’s the case with the Kraken Kitty Edition V2 Pro. Test recordings sounded clean and clear, with no fuzziness or sibilance. It’s a strong signal and a natural sound. And although we still recommend separate USB mics for serious recording or streaming, the headset’s mic can work for content creation in a pinch.
