Me encantaron, sobre todo el largo del cable total de 3m contanto la extension, de verdad no manches!!! es buenísimo, los uso diario, lamentablemente los jalé una vez caminando (cable de 3m) y pues se me rompieron las conexciones y tuve que repararlos yo mismo en casa :c pero bueno hay que tener cuidado, y en general muy buen producto, lo volvería a comprar en un futuro (espero lejano) cuando estos ya no funcionen más.

I’ve owned these headphones for nearly four years, sound quality is good (definitely improved after windows updates,) you never have to question mic quality, and they are extremely comfortable no matter how long you were them. However, about 2.5 years in they started degrading. These never leave my room and I’ve always taken good care of them but the fabric on the headband has torn, the ear cushions are exposing foam on the inside and their exterior leaves Stains on anything white as well as crumbles of black all around your ears. I’m probably going to experiment with other brands for more longevity.

I also tried the Sennheiser PC37X GAME ONE headphones and the Krakens beats them in comfort and value by miles.
SOUND
Good for competitive fps games like CSGO or Fortnite that require a really accurate sound-stage to pin point exactly where surrounding sounds are coming from. The overall frequency response is decent, but it’s pretty muddy in the mid bass. Treble clarity is low and can get overpowered by the mid bass easily, but is not too bad at lower volumes. There is little to no audible bass under 60hz but that is expected with open back headphones. If it wasn’t for the aesthetic and amazing comfort, I would had gave a much lower review.
COMFORT
One of the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever worn and I’ve worn many. It is comparable to the Beats Pro level of comfort. Very light weight, cushioning and headband feel great, and mic is nicely positioned, ears stay cool, and the wire is great size for controllers.
OVERALL
If you’re looking for headphones strictly for gaming, these are a pretty good choice. I don’t recommend them for music.

Bought for grandsons, 11 & 13.Major gamers. Their old head set had broken and the boys and I did research. These headphones live up to their description. Boys said great quality especially at this price point. Boys do a lot of Fortnite, Black Ops 3&4, GTA, etc. They said it picked up key noises they were missing before. They think this headset enhanced the game and aided in improved wins (dubs) They arrived on time.

Great headphones for the price.
We purchased for my son to use with his Xbox after his old headphones broke. My husband did his research as we didn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on headphones, but wanted a set that was of good quality.
After reading the reviews these are what we got. When they arrived they worked great, my son said even better than what he had before. They feel good on his head, there is no echoing and the sound quality is great.

This product in my opinion is FANTASTIC for the price that it is. Not only does it feature superb sound quality, but it has a durable frame and cord. I would compare this headset to ones from the 200-300$ price range making purchasing this headset a steal. Only critique is that the headset is very comfortable for the first couple weeks after purchase, but after it breaks in it is comfortable.

The headset is pretty comfy. I myself wear glssses so they squeeze my glasses’s hands (not a crazy amount but it is a discomfort). The noise cancellation is probably the weakest part of this product as you can usually hear most noises around you. They barely weigh anything which is super nice for long gaming sessions.
Overall sound quality is perfect, the microphone sounds just as good and the volume control is a nice edition

These headphones are amazing! Would recommend to anyone that love good quality headphones that will emerse you into the world of gaming. These headphones have incredible bass and have a clean sounds. I gave 2 stars for noise cancellation because they’re open back so when you put them on you can talk to your bud Fred and you can everything he is saying. However, if if you have the volume all the way on and are jamming to music you cant really hear any outside noise, but those around you can. (Open back headphones are better quality than noise cancellation) I really enjoy the fact that you can adjust the volume on the mic, and adjust when someone talks. Overall 10/10 would recommend!

Solid construct, sound is not that good, there is also no option to adjust the sound chat within the headphones, so for the price its not that much of a good buy, i did buy those because of the aluminium frame, and they do a good job at being sturdy, the sound isnt that bad its just that for this price you expect something better.

It’s ok, I don’t love them.
The construction of the headset is good quality and the band is metal which is great. They look really cool and have a nice feel, I got the green ones and they look very sleek, but the sound is lacking.
Firstly the sound has that hollow tin pitch to it and the bass is almost too loud blocking out other noise and muffled headset chatter. There is no separation between microphone volume and general game noise which I assumed that feature would be standard on gaming headsets at this point. It’s very annoying if you’re trying to hear friends better you just turn up the game noise with it, so be prepared to be tweaking your in game sound settings all the time.
I replaced these with the $120 turtle beach Bluetooth headset which was the polar opposite to these. Those had great sound and volume separation features, but the band build quality was horrendous and they broke on me multiple times.
My two cents: save up a little longer and drop some money on a high-end pair that offers quality construction and top range sound quality.
These are fine and they do their job but if you can afford it get something better.

feels durable will prob last about 5 years of mild to heavy use before it starts to have minor problems my last pair of razers lasted 5 years before i had a problem with them and its still working perfectly fine the problem was that the right ear wasnt loud but it works perfectly fine now but thats a different product from this company however these headphones are perfect and will ruin any other headphones you ever use in the future
welcome to the cult of razer….
for real razers headsets are by far the best in audio hands down

Bought these as a gift for my friend for his birthday and tested them before purchasing and the overall sound and mic quality is amazing for the price you’re paying. One thing is that I can hear myself echo when in party chat with him but no one else, but it happened with his past two headsets so my guess is that he just has his volume up way too high.
On the other hand the physical quality of the headset is amazing all the way down to the cord. It’s a really nice, flexible, not cheap feeling woven cord. 10/10
