These things rock! The audio quality is amazing. You even get super great surround sound on them! The ear fit is super nice as well. I have glasses and typically headsets arent comfotable but these fit just right.

I normally get really expensive headsets. This one keeps up with them. It is great quality for the price range. I use this on Xbox One and PS4

Here at KitGuru we've reviewed plenty of Razer headsets over the years, with some costing as much as £200. We were very interested to hear, then, that Razer has bolstered its headset portfolio with a new model – the Kraken X. The killer feature Pricing.

Affordable; Stealthy; all-black design; Very comfortable and lightweight; Sounds great when gaming; Impressive mic quality

All-plastic construction doesn't feel especially robust; Not the best for listening to music

With the Kraken X, the well-known Californian manufacturer Razer adds a low-cost headset to its portfolio that's aimed at beginners as well as more seasoned gamers.

The Razer Kraken X is a good mid-range headset that gets most of the basics right: it's comfortable, sounds decent and has a great microphone. Unfortunately, its poor bass performance doesn't bode well for action and shooter games, where loud and deep explosions are the norm. If you want a blockbuster audio experience, you'll need to pay more. Otherwise, this remains a great value gaming headset

Comfortable design; Great microphone ; 7.1 surround sound is useful; Multi-platform support;

Poor bass quality ; Surround sound won't work with PS4, Xbox or Switch;

Good gaming headsets don't have to cost a small fortune.

7.1 channel surround sound; Eyewear channels alleviate temple pressure; Cross-platform compatibility; Onboard control

Ear cups don't rotate; Surround sound exclusive to Windows 10

This is an affordable, no-frills headset to step up your gaming game....

The Razer Kraken has long been a favorite of people buying a gaming headset on the cheap. Listing at $80, and often discounted even lower, it’s one of the cheaper name-brand headsets on the market.

The Razer Kraken X is a no-frills take on a headset line that already had few frills to offer. For $50 it’s not a bad option, but it rests in the shadow of the standard Kraken, which offers better comfort and sound quality for only $20 to $30 more.

Inexpensive; Looks just like the high-end Kraken models; Extremely lightweight;

Headband could use more padding; Sound is “good enough” for a $50 headset and not much more; Noisy microphone;

Had mine for awhile but the mic has always been bad, and it is also very prone to cracking and snapping the muffs so they no longer sit on your ears. Good if you got a small head, but also look for alternatives first.

Have had this headset almost 7 months and they have broken already. The quality of the audio and the mic is awesome, but the build quality is cheap as. These were always stored away after every use and well looked after. One day it just decided to snap while I was wearing them mid game. Maybe I have a big head (lol) but the point is, these should last way longer than 7 months. Get some other headset if you are looking at these ones, or if you like to upgrade every 6 months lol
