What customers say about "Key Specs"

Razer Electra V2 Gaming Headset Works with PC & PS4

The sound quality and noise canceling effect on this is amazing for the price point.
Any noise outside my office is pretty much blocked.
They are noise canceling, meaning you really can’t hear outside while gaming.
The background noise can be heard better then me.
It also has no noise canceling so you can hear literally everything in the background.

Razer Kraken X Ultralight Gaming Headset

He mentioned that he liked how it cancelled out all the noise in the house, and even me speaking.
It picks up so much noise. Not recommend.
The noise canceling is also great, I can hardly hear my family when they call my name heh.
I can’t hear anything when I have them on besides the game, truly noise cancelling.
Basically bombarding your ears with sound so that outside noise doesnt bother them.

What customers say about "Headset"

Razer Electra V2 Gaming Headset Works with PC & PS4

Sound experience is decent. This headset does a great job at higher frequency.
They're really comfortable. The sound is clean and balanced.
Sound quality is pretty awesome. Looks cool I guess.
So as in audio quality, they sound great and I would recommend for the sound alone.
The "out of box" sound quality is pretty poor.

Razer Kraken X Ultralight Gaming Headset

The sound is wonderful, its everything what i was expecting from its price.
Anyways, he said they are really comfy and the sound quality is amazing.
Crystal clear sound, extremely comfortable, surround sound software is great.
The sound quality is pretty spot on for this price point.

What customers say about "Microphone"

Razer Electra V2 Gaming Headset Works with PC & PS4

The mic sounds decent, unlike others might say.
I used it for playing Xbox and listening to music so far, it has excellent mic and speaker quality.
Good sound, flexible, detachable boom Mic, good Mic sound.
The mic makes me sound like Im speaking from inside a tin can.
Went to use the mic today and its all messed up. Sounds like your underwater.

Razer Kraken X Ultralight Gaming Headset

Free roam mic, comes right up to your mouth.
Mic quality and sound quality can use a lot of work.
The mic build quality is great and wow do the headphones sound amazing.
Mic sounds like something you’d pay a higher price for.
Mic doesn't retract, sound is pretty good but nothing to write home about, and feels cheap.

What customers say about "Features"

Razer Electra V2 Gaming Headset Works with PC & PS4

This headset is advertised as being compatible with PCs, Macs, PS4s, and Xbox Ones. I like this.
The ear cushions and headband are soft and flexible for maximum comfort.
I enjoy the ability to remove the microphone and transition from a headset to headphone.
The audio/mic splitter extension cable making the headset compatible with both dual jack and single jack devices.
The auto-adjustment feature (basically a springy cable) is terrible.

Razer Kraken X Ultralight Gaming Headset

Cushions are very soft and comfortable, and no deal breaker for people with glasses.
The retractable MIC is also a great feature!
I'm very happy with all the different features (mike splitter, mute, comfort, cord length) and think this is a good value.
So these lack some of the features of the others, but they have one benefit - no battery, just a plug, and they work.
The THX USB adapter is super nice, make it easy to adjust your setting physically on the fly.
