In this video I go over the Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 Gaming Headset, along with doing a mic test. This is on of two versions of the Kraken that were recently updated much like the Blackwidow Chroma was last month. Let's see if it's any good.

Thanks

lmao it sounds BETTER than whatever he is using to record the video sound!
@@25566 I don't agree, it sounds alot more hollow
After owning the Kraken 7.1 V2 for a year I can say that they are durable, comfortable, and have amazing sound quality.
i fucking hate them fam i got them for like 2 years and ugh it keeps like stopping the sound and doing some weird ass noise everytime i move a LITTLE bit, also the earcups thingies, come already off...
@@Sunny-ys3tw Bro, i think your Headset is kinda fucked up. Mine is really great. This Noise when you move a lilttle bit isnt there for me.
@@ghaxo4291 i got g pro's now lol and they're way better, the cushion is better but the bass isnt as good. I'd rather buy g pro's
@@Sunny-ys3tw I have same problem now I have them for 2 years by now and everytime I move the cable the sound stop working and does some weird noise I have to reconnect them in order to work again.. I'm confused what to buy now.
@@HannahWade199 I've bought the g pro and i can recommend them, maybe the bass isnt as strong and it hasnt got 7.1, but the cable is removable and the mic is realllyyy good, and they aren't expensive. Or if you want good music quality and not just gaming headphones, buy the beyerdynamic dt 770 pro or dt 990 pro, I'd recommend you dt 990 pro though.
That mic sounds godly. What the fuck.
Yeah it does
ikr it sounds insanely good, almost as good as the mic used to record the video
rip cloud 2 ;(
bro would you recommend this over: Cloud 2, Cloud Revolver?
Aldrin Furigay i tried the cloud and saw the 7.1 v2 and from looking.yeah buy the 7.1 v2

김범주 i
김범주 your not funny
How is it supposed to be funny
@@angrychickenyt your not funny? do you mean you're not funny? i think your english skills aren't funny
Dude, you really deserve alot more subs. High quality content here.
Thanks mate :)
High quality review, thanks for taking the time to do it :)
am i the only one who actually loves the cable not having any funky audio control or mic volume scrollwheels? the volume controls on the cable have always annoyed me, this is why the razer headsets are so good for me (at least the kraken ones)
I can see how not having anything weighing down the cable could be appealing
Yes!!! My current headset had a frikin scroll wheel on the cable, and if it rubs against my chair the volume can blast.
same, i like having 1 volume control, on my computer
My scroll wheel on my headset turns volume down all the time so I just taped it
well.. on this kraken pro V2 series.. the analog version has the volume control on the cable.. and its what can i say.. its a so-so quality built on that switch...
Great Video + Great Quality = +1 Sub
Wait how are you so underrated you honestly deserve more subs like your video quality is so god like I'm gonna share this channel to all my friends
I own this headset, it's genuinely something special, they are extremely comfortable, that sound amazing, the 7.1 is done perfectly and the mic can pick up things in the other room if you turn the sensitivity up, people often tell me they can hear my wife and my cat in the background! Nice video dude
I'm shocked that you only have 40k subs. Just bought this headset and this was, by far, the best video I came across reviewing this headset. Which is even more impressive that it's one of the most prominent ones on the market. Keep up the good work man.
dude you honestly deserve a lot more subs the quality is really good, keep up the good work
Bro u really deserve more subs
Thanks!! :)
YiYang Liu agreed
But he did gain 4K subs in 2 mounths pretty gud
I mean 3 mounths
YiYang Liu - good microphone quality - good camera angle - good editing well, he got all of these just like other popular tech youtuber
Why did u don't have 1 milion subscribers? Your quality is very very good
Thanks so much! I would lose my mind at 100k let alone 1 mil lol
Brainbean In a final,You will reach this count of subscribers!
yeeee

Instant sub! This was a damn good review for a headset, you covered it all up without trying to be funny or anoying. I'll definitely check out your channel.
Bro. Legit because of this amazing video, you inspired me to go out and buy my own one of these. I love using it, for work, gaming, and music!
That mic sounds pretty damn good to me.
Mic test at 3:50
Thanks man!
Thx dude
Gg Going tnx bro
Gg Going thx homie
i was about to comment he forgot to test it.
I've been thinking about getting these... and this is a very helpful review, thanks!
HOLY SHIT that mic on the Razer kraken is so good I skipped ahead in the video and did not noticed you changed the mic until I listen closely damn I'm buy that mic
Still got em after 4 years and still banging. Only thing i've had to do was to replace the ear cushions and they can be found around ~$15.
Same here I love ‘em
Everyone, let's spread this amazing channel. Seriously.
Dozin do eeet! :) seriously thanks for helping me out.
I'm in . Tell me where to share . Except for Facebook I can share it anywhere.
Thanks fir this video. It convinced me to buy this. Good luck with your channel!!!
You deserve muuuuch more suscribers ! The quality of your videos is simply awesome. Keep up the excellent work !
Thanks Arnaud! I really appreciate that :)
I have a blue snowball and the audio quality of the Kraken is better WTF, I'm pissed
Camel Lover Lover is that actually true
no it's not, i have one too, the snowball is a mic where you need to be like max 10 cm away from it to have studio quality. If you're let's say 60 cm away from the mic the quality drops a lot.
no it's not
@@ihavenoidea1 razer fanboy
that mic is doo doo dont get it guys

Woah

I may not agree with everything you said in this video but my man your video editing and film is awesome i will definetly sub and hope many more come to you sir.
I was waiting for this review !!!! Thanks man
I have been using these headphones for 4 years and the only problem that I have experienced I that the mic cuts off sometimes. Everything else works just fine and I am kinda sad that they stopped them from production.
I feel the microphone in it is enough!
oh finally after a full day of weeding out headsets, a decent video. I had a kraken in my hand at the computer store, but dad said the microphone specs were not worth the money from what we saw on the box. Thank you for the mic test. It seems decent to me despite the terrible looking specs, and i love that you can bend it to where your mouth hole actually is on your face.
Hi, I really appreciated this video. Amazing job on the review, you covered every single aspect I came here for. Great background visuals too. Overall a fantastic review! I honestly feel like you deserve way more subscribers! You did earn yourself one right now ;). Keep on going
It's the best microphone in headset

Sennheiser Game One
Guido Wieser game one's mic sounds trash compared to these
I've seen A LOT of these gaming headset reviews and the only ones that actually had a decent mic is the Razer ones... Which if funny because I've always hated razer... They sound as good or even better than the modmics...
monej me2 wahahaha
Nice joke, my OLD razer kraken (the green one) HAS A SHIT mic. But this one is good!
Don't know about the old kraken, but this is quite decent. UPDATE: I went to the store and tried the headphones.. Didn't like the sound of them..
Sennheiser game zero... best "gaming" headset + attached mic you can get and they are super comfotable
I've heard they were good for gaming but not so much for general music listening etc. I went for the Beyerdynamic dt 880 Pro with a studio mic. An overkill setup for most but I only game in my studio so..
Thank you for the awesome video!!! This was exactly what I was looking for
Thank you for this review. I have been looking around for a new headset and saw that this headset was on sale for $75 and it seems like an amazing headset. :)
A small note about this headset. I, and from my research, many others as well, have experienced a seemingly common problem where the cable starts to die after about a year and the headphones will make a popping noise before disconnecting and reconnecting. Sometimes, when it reconnects, the audio is noticeably worse or simply isn't there. Same goes for the mic, with an audible hissing sound being present when you speak unless you unplug the headphones and plug them back in again. It's extremely frustrating as it can interrupt calls and even mess with game audio, even going so far as to mute it entirely with the only solution being restarting the game. I can't reccommend this headset with such a glaring and reccurent issue and I feel like others need to know.
I have the same issue with it, do you know how to solve it?
same issue its basically dead. Every five minutes i have to disconnect & reconnect i suggest buying a wirless headset honestly the headset been with me for about 2 years now
I have owned no less than 3 pairs of krakens over the years and this is still an issue. I'm sick of replacing them, I'll buy something else. I just wish I could find a wireless set that sounds like the kraken does.
@lucasaraujo4283 yeah, I bought a HyperX headset.
Why is this the only review on utube
Thanks for sharing dude. I'm ordering mine today. Found a very good deal. Can't wait for it to come. Will be perfect when my 1060gpu arrives as well. Hi from Greece.
i love these headphones! wearing em right now!
1:20 when you're a mercy main
I've been using my v2s for while now and man they are awesome. the price point is great I bought mine for $80.00 USD (NON CHROMA) Sound is crystal I play a lot of Rainbow Six Siege and I can definitely hear people crouch walking around me or reading equipment through walls. it's a game changer. my only gripe is that since I play on ps4 there's no way to change the equalizer because these are a little bass heavy. They are comfortable lightweight and big! my friends say the mic sounds crystal clear as well. which when watching my captures I can hear myself and it's solid. I really don't know what could be improved other than the cable. it's not a bad cable just has a tendency to twist after awhile. so I'm constantly unplugging straitening and plugging back in. which I deal with just a minor annoyance.
Jesse Szweda So you can actually hear sound on ps4? Some people say they can't hear it.
This review is exactly what I was looking for. I need a headset for siege and I just dont know whats good
did you get them how is the audio for movies and music i have the cloud II but my mic makes very loud buzzing noise for my friends that i cant hear now and then sometimes a lot over it spent 130AUD on them lasted 4 months
ooomg first positive soundexperience in the beginning of this video - of all the effin' reviews ive watched within the last hours to find a headset. great vid, thanks.
Thanks so much
Subscribed! You helped me find the best headset for me. Gracias! :)
The Kraken Pro is really good for the money.
Nathanial Landers Am watching this video while wearing the razor pro v2.
i wish i would be able to us it with a smartphone
They are huge tho!
LegendaryVegeta it is possible but you need a dongle
The microphone of this kraken is so good
If you'e in the market for a headset, get these. I bought these for the first time a year ago and I am yet to find a better headset. I've been through the cloud II's, sennheiser g4me zero's, and arctis 7's all in the past WEEK. These are amazing in every category. Listening to music with these is great, you can hear footsteps perfectly fine, the mic is better than the game zeros, and the ear cups are softer than any other headset. The game zeros feel like they're about to fall off your head and the padding isnt even as good as these, also game ones suck for everything other than footsteps. If you're looking for a great headset for every category, you've found the right video.
Do you still have the headsets? How are they? I'm looking into getting a full razer setup with the Blackwidow Elite keyboard, Basilisk mouse & these headsets but currently torn between getting the razer, HyperX (Alloy Elite RGB Keyboard, Pulsefire Surge mouse, Cloud 2 headset) and Steelseries (Apex M750 keyboard, Rival 600 mouse, & Arctis 5 headset) I hope you reply soon! Thanks man!
Astro a10 or any Astro is better
Very informative, thank you. Left a sub for your hard work :D
I just bought these. Awesome review man! Keep it up!
is it good?
i already bought v1 and v2... what i think is.. V1: good surround, pretty good mic but sometimes "robot voice" V2: comfortable, good surround, good mic
Ik I'm kinda late but I have the v1 and i have an issue were they disconnect and reconnect in about 5 seconds have you ever experienced this or do u know how to solve the issue
@@drzy8212 im way too late but it had to be the contacts, happened with my razer v1.
Please answer: Was the mic test completely unedited :)?
yes its very godly i tried it with my friend in another room!
yes it was! The microphone is perfect!
yes it was i have the headset and the mic is really good
@@fico8400 isnt the sound horrible it has high bass and treble makining sound muddy
Love Is Derek no u can turn it off lol
I bought it for streaming on Twitch, and people said it was good! Thank you for the tutorial! :)
Very nice episode of my friend;) Keep up the good work!
I cane hear my sound again in the ps4
Saif Alromaithi because it's not meant for ps4
Ace Clan, Don't be a idiot, it is advertised as working for ps4 and xbox one, AKA it is meant to work on them...
go to razer synapse and uncheck the voice monitor
Saif Alromaithi console pleb
@@amanc9835 PC kid lol
Am i the only one that will take this over the Cloud IIs? Like if you agree with me
Cloud IIs mic sucks ass
Mechanism - League of Legends yup
yes,, i was so confused to buy clouds ll or the V2 :|
I had the v2 for a year, bought the cloud 2 and a blue yeti to make up for the mic on the cloud being awful. Might return both and just get another kraken tbh
Cloud IIs have better sound quality but mic isn't that good ( Kraken 7.1 owner here)
Thank you SO much for mentioning comfort with glasses - that's always a huge concern for me. Bought Astro a40's once and they were the most uncomfortable headphones/headset that I've ever put on my head, because of my glasses. Couldn't even wear them for more than 40 minutes without getting terrible migraines.
Subscribed, very good quality! Thumbs up!!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Hi, I have the same headset but the sound won't work on internet..help please!
Weyz open windows sound system and in output tab choose your headset as default device
Anindya Lokeswara I've already fixed it but thanks :)
Is someone please able to help me out? I use these at the moment on the PS4 because I am currently building a desktop! But it sounds bad on the PS4 and there is a slight hissing noise while I am using it on the PS4... My question is, does these sound better on Desktop? Just because these sound horrible on PS4..
do u have ur pc now ?
I bought mine last year because of this review. Thank you!
Do you have a ps4?
Man, you're amazing Subbed!!
will the settings i set on the pc carry over to playstation if need be?
No... lol
Mario 1one yay!
Razer Crack n'
Elior well played
I thought you have more than 1 million subscribers and when I checked it....well you deserve more!
Co grats Febiven on your win!
Can you still hear outside noise? I personally don't like headsets where I can't hear my voice
It blocks out quite a bit of noise, making it hard to hear your own voice unless you are practically yelling.
K thanks
You can go to the razer synapse app ,for razer stuff, and put voice monitoring and you will hear you voice but mic has to on
If you put mic monitor on you can hear everything
On ps4 yes on pc no
is kraken 2 7.1 surround sound on the xbox one and ps4? someone please tell me and thanks
yes you can use it for xbone and ps4
Brainbean xbone?
xbox one
EmperorPalpatine ik but does he hate Xbox?
Xbone is short for "Xbox One" Remove "Ox" and you get Xbone! is that clear enough?
Wow great channel, you definitely deserve more subs.Great review and great quality. Subscribed!!(:
Thanks so much! :)
You are underrated! You are the best youtuber you need more subs
Thanks so much! I'm just happy making videos and seeing such positive reactions like yours :)
The Razer Kraken 7.1 is good because it's very affordable and its one of the most underrated gaming headset ever
Boosted Mercy Main
I've been using this headset for about a week since my shoddy $100. Roccat khan pro broke on both sides of the head band. For being the same price, I find the Kraken to be MUCH more comfortable, sturdy, and best of all, the sound/mic is a huge improvement. My gaming buddies were all blown away when I first logged in with the kraken as they said the mic was a massive improvement over my previous sets.
Still sporting mines in 2020 and its great!!
Does it work on the ps4? If so, is the audio quality good?
CallMeAbdu no it’s an USB headset
@@upkillz6622 yes it does idiot
It will, plug it in and go to the audio setting, select the razor kraken v2 7.1 and boom your done
Ali essa yeah it works i’ll give you that but it only works if you plug it in to the ps4 and then you will have to sit like 1m from the tv/monitor
@@upkillz6622 my ps4 is on my desk with my desktop less than a meter away so I dont have a problem with it .
razer kraken 7.1 v2 or hyperx cloud II?? Help pls
XDJOoNyXD Is that even a question? 101% Cloud dude
XDJOoNyXD Razer has improved a lot with this headset.Run away from the "hyperx always idiots" and watch some good reviews on google.You can also watch another brands like corsair void or stelseries arctis
xXx_TheProGunner_xXx Thanks for your advice. I tried to find a comparation between this two headsets, but I always came acroos v1 vs cloud 2 comparations, that's why I asked it here.
xXx_TheProGunner_xXx Lmao. Build quality? Also the aesthetics. It looks wayyyy too bulky. Razer is just superior in the mic and bass. Meanwhile, the cloud has a balanced audiophile, decent mic, solid build qual and just overall looks great. There is also a problem that when the wire of the kraken will rub your shirt, it will have some weird crackly sounds to the headset, which would be quite annoying. Although everything comes down into preference, Cloud in really the superior.
i bought the hyperx cloud 2s like 4 months ago and im fucking dissapointed. First thing is that the 7.1 virtual sound is horseshit and the stereo sound isnt what i expected because every one said its``AS GOOD AS AUDIOPHILE HEADPHONES HAVE``. it was good but not really good. Also the mic is soooo quiet my friends cant even hear me literally everyone complains about the mic being soo quiet and it is. Over all i wouldnt reccomend them 6/10.
I know this is late, but you have the best review by far!!!!
Haha thanks :) I just uploaded a new Razer Nari headset video today too if you want to look at something more current.
Amazing mic test Very good and clear
Bro, u mercy main? xD
Gomp nice profile pic
>:D
can you use this headset for ps4?
no i dont think so sry alltho i do have the headset and its a really good one
Yes I use it on my PS4 Pro
they work when plugged into the console directly because the 7.1 v2 has only an usb cable to connect with. sadly there will be no surround sound, only stereo.
@@fico8400 yes
@@shinferrefnihs8187 ummm is it bad having no surround sound or does it not matter txt me asap cause ima buy a headset and I'm wondering is it worth it
Sub m8! Great content and really good review. The quality of this video is professional.
Dude I stumbled over you by chance and now I am watching every video thats SOMEHOW related to my needs (read no ryzen stuff xD) Awesome work Any recent headphone you'd suggest? As streamer I dont "need" a attached mic since I have mine on a boom. So mic quality is irrelvant to me :D And talking of that, how do you get that nice and crisp sound for your voice? Mine isn't bad but it lacks in certain things, sometimes making me sound like out of a cardboardbox :
there is a volume switch on the wire tho
The G.S.S Squad rly?
Quinn Nguyen no there's only on the normal v2. Don't know why they did that
Yeah the Pro v2 has one but the 7.1 v2 doesn't, interesting
Hyper X Cloud still master race, but great video again. :)
But ugly as fuck
GZ Wong it is ugly as hell Hyperx's quality is good but it's ugly as fuck
Hyper X Cloud´s mic is trash xd
cloud2s in gun metal actually look sick imo
My Hyper X just died on me within a year. Don't think so
You earned yourself a new sub. :)
omfg i really need this one, because I have the original Razer Kraken Pro, but the mic is shit compared to the Kraken 7.1 v2, and doesn't have noise cancellation although the other one has noice cancellation. Thank you so much for your review, and you deserve more subs
lmao I can get it for free
yea, just steal it
the braided cable rubbing against your clothing is VERY loud to hear inside the left earcup on V1!!!! STOP USING BRAIDED CABLES RAZER! (how did they missed this during testing? do they use naked chinese people?)
I didn't notice that issue on the V2
My HyperX Cloud II also has a braided cable and I've had no issues like you mention with it...
I havent tryed the v1's so can't compare, the sound (microphonics) from cable is still an issue with V2.. other then that it's the best headset i have ever used
lol, maybe your ears are too big that i would rub against the cable. I never had an issue with their cables from tiamat, razer kraken , and now kraken 7.1 v2
Same, this is not an issue for me, using my Kraken 7.1 Chroma so I can imagine V2 has been fairly improved.
excellent Review I think i will give the Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 a chance :) thanks alot Brainbean
Perfect Review! Impressed!
I've been using this headset for a few months now and I LOVE it. For the price, I simply do not think you will find another set that is even remotely close in sound, build or even mic quality.
I just bought these. Can't wait to try them later. I actually like the fact there there are no volume control and things, keeps the look clean. Besides, a lot of gaming keyboards for volume function keys at least. I was actually looking at the Logitech G633 too and that Headset sounded good but looked ridiculous with all the buttons and shinny plastic.
Best headphones I've tried so far. Very pleased by the sound and the comfort. I do recommend !
Do they break over a short time though?
My first time watching your video...i rly liked it so i subbed but i saw only 13k subs wtf???
Just ordered these yesterday, comming today, Can´t wait for them. I´m just little bit worried now about not enough padding and the pressure on my head, but I´m quite sure it won´t be worst thatn what I had til now.
Nice review. The lack of a volume control lost my interest but it was a nice in depth review. Cheers.
great review, subbed
Thanks!
Bro u really deserve subscribers more than 50k
Thanks so much :)
Great video!!!
Im subbing, not my type of videos. But just to support you. You need way more subs❤

You just earned one follower 😁
Hi,your videos are amazing man,btw i have a question.Corsair Void 7.1 or Razer Kraken 7.1 V2? I saw so many reviews to both headsets and I don't know what is worth.Give me an advise something.
