SAVE 50%: Whether you’re a hardcore gamer or a casual player, Razer’s got you. Its Kraken Ultimate RGB USB Gaming Headset is a good all-purpose pick, and as of Dec. 14, it’s on sale for $64.99 (regular price: $129.99). That’s 50% off.
The Razer Kraken Ultimate RGB USB Gaming Headset provides 360-degree sound in a compact set of headphones — and it’s on sale at Amazon for a limited time.
This headset features THX 7.1 Surround Sound technology developed to maximize audio realism. This is particularly useful for first-person shooter games, where knowing the exact direction of a sound means the difference between “life” and “death.”
If you find the bass too strong or have other preferences when it comes to sound, you have options with the on-earcup audio controls, which allow you to change volume, spatial audio mode, bass, and game-to-chat balance.
You can also customize the colors of your headset, which is the main feature of the Razer Chroma series (which includes a keyboard, mouse, stand, and mouse pad, all of which are also named after mythical monsters). With support for 16.8 million colors, there are endless possibilities — you can integrate your Chroma display with popular games so that the colors change with gameplay, or you can personalize the underglow lighting with Razer Synapse 3 for a setup with rippling rainbow lights.
Another key feature of gaming headphones: the mic. The Kraken’s retractable microphone with active noise cancellation minimizes background noises for clearer communication, so your teammates can distinctly hear your dying words before you respawn. Add to all this the cooling, gel-infused headset cushions, and you’ll be ready to get lost in the game.
All in all, this Razer Kraken headset is great for casual and serious gamers alike, and it’s at a considerable discount at Amazon. It was actually $5 less leading up to Black Friday, but other than that, this is still one of the lowest prices we’ve seen it at since its debut in 2019.
