Razer Kraken Pro V2 review: A quality gaming headset that won't break the bank

The Razer Kraken Pro V2 is the company's latest version of its gaming headset. While Razer headphones aren't necessarily the best on the market, this pair of cups is superb for the price.

The Kraken series is the mainstream option for consumers who wish to invest in a pair of Razer headphones. The Pro variant from the Kraken family omits a few features offered by the more expensive 7.1 model, including surround sound and USB connectivity. That said, we've found the Kraken Pro V2 to do most things well.

New sounds

This second generation introduces a new design that caters to those seeking enhanced comfort and durability. Glasses are becoming a more common sight in gaming (and prolonged computer use) to aid in the protection of eyes, which is something Razer took into account on the drawing board. Special "inmold channels" are present to reduce strain on the frame of a pair of glasses, which makes wearing both glasses and the headset less of a pain.

Even if you don't wish to use glasses, there are improvements that will affect your experience. Take the new headband, for example. It's now unibody aluminum, which reduces weight and helps with endurance for long gaming sessions. (The last thing any gamer wants is to have painful ears and a severe indent in their hairstyle.) Speaking of ears, there are even new cushions in the Pro V2 to help better block out unwanted noise.
