Razer Kraken Pro V2 Review

I look at the Razer Kraken Pro V2 as a very recognizable PC-gaming headset from an earlier Razer era. The basic facts tell the story quickly: it is a green, full-size headset from Razer Inc., listed for the PC hardware platform, with model number RZ04-02050600-R3U1. If I were buying it, I would be thinking about a fixed gaming desk first, not travel, commuting, or low-profile office use.

Razer Kraken Pro V2 belongs on a PC desk

At 12 ounces, the Kraken Pro V2 sits in a reasonable range for a full-size gaming headset. My read is that it should feel like proper desk gear rather than something meant to disappear in a backpack. The listed dimensions, 3.86 x 6.15 x 7.8 inches, reinforce that impression. This is not the type of headset I would choose if compact storage or daily portability were high priorities.

The PC platform note matters. For desktop gaming, I like the idea of one headset handling game audio and voice chat in a private setup, especially in a shared room, dorm, or late-night gaming space. That is where a product like this makes the most sense: attached to a gaming station, ready for multiplayer sessions and calls.

The green Razer look is part of the decision

The color is not a small detail here. In green, the Kraken Pro V2 makes a very obvious gaming statement. I would not buy it expecting a discreet headset for work calls or a neutral-looking pair of headphones for general use. Some buyers will love that bold Razer identity; others should treat it as a warning sign.

First available in April 2017, this is also an older gaming headset by current standards. I do not see that as automatically bad. Older designs can be appealing if you want something straightforward and familiar. But I would not put it at the top of a shortlist for anyone chasing newer headset trends, sleeker styling, or a more modern feature set.

What I would check before ordering

The listing notes that 1 lithium ion battery is required, so I would check the exact retail package and power expectations before buying. If your ideal headset is something completely passive that can sit unused and always be ready without battery-related questions, I would be cautious.

Who should skip it? I would skip the Kraken Pro V2 if I wanted a compact travel headset, a subtle office headset, or something aimed primarily at phones and tablets. I would also look elsewhere if I wanted the newest headset design language.

Verdict: I see the Razer Kraken Pro V2 as a sensible fit for PC gamers who want a full-size, unmistakably Razer headset for a fixed desk setup. It is much less convincing for portability, subtle styling, or buyers who want the latest generation of headset features.
