I'm the chief gamer of you know Sony or

15
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:14,159
something you know like why not uh so as with our current gener the Kraken has

16
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:17,720
evolved from a Razer classic so the yeah took several years of sampling y so

17
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:24,640
basically several years and this is a signature Black Edition which is an all

18
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:27,079
black version of the Kraken so here we

19
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,520
go we're going to go ahead and uh pull this guy out so we'll have a look at

20
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:36,119
what there is in here in terms of document razor packaging is always like

21
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:38,439
So Pro it's like so good just love it so

22
00:01:36,119 --> 00:01:43,759
stylish you know glossy text on the matte

23
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:45,680
paper all right what we got here so

24
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:49,920
congratulations there's no turning back quick start guide for the Kraken as well

25
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:55,240
as a razor sticker there you go shows you how to sort of do things and uh and

26
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:59,280
operate stuff also shows you how to extending your headphones lifespan oh we

27
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:03,000
recommend stretching the headphones gently apart before placing them over

28
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:07,039
your head so a few little cool little tips and tricks there now we can go

29
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:12,920
ahead and oh look at these like little rubber elastics to hold it in place see

30
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,440
integrated into the packaging ooh I can

31
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:19,000
tell you already the materials feel very very comfy so it's quite light this is

32
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,000
folding so there's two ver two versions of the Kraken there's the Kraken and the

33
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:26,760
Kraken Pro so this is the folding version uh both of them are super

34
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,280
optimized for music or games I've said this before but I'll say it as many

35
00:02:28,519 --> 00:02:36,680
times as it takes until people start listening there's no such thing as a

36
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:40,200
good premium gaming headphone or gaming

37
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:42,879
headset it's called a good headset or

38
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:48,360
headphones if they're good that means their audio reproduction quality is good

39
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:54,120
which means that game audio will be good so good is good and bad is not good so

40
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,319
that's all there is to it so these are

41
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:59,560
with 40 mil drivers and supremely comfortable position I don't remember

42
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:03,640
where I was going with that so the point is good is good so when they say ah yes

43
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:07,640
so when Razer Brands it as good for music and good for games that means it's

44
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:11,120
good for movies too don't worry about it okay so check this out guys look at all

45
00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:14,920
the look at all the cushioning up here so they've got like a mesh uh like kind

46
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,879
of a sporty type material here which means that if your head gets hot or

47
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:21,280
you're sweating or whatever else it should be quite breathable a lot of

48
00:03:19,799 --> 00:03:25,120
headphones make this mistake where they use like a pleather or some kind of

49
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:29,480
non-breathable surface here not everyone has such long hair that they're going to

50
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:33,879
get air flow in there so if you don't then will still breathe quite nicely and

51
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,080
the cups themselves they don't rotate much now this is something I haven't

52
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:40,560
seen in a while however I mean the joke I always make when I when I unbox

53
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,040
headphones and headsets that rotate a lot is if your ears are positioned here

54
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:48,560
then this will fit just fine so I think this will be just fine for 99.9% of

55
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:53,000
people plus you can probably get away without it because there's so much

56
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:56,280
flexibility in the ear Cup itself so it's it's hard to hold these I mean the

57
00:03:54,599 --> 00:04:00,079
folding mechanism Works quite well they fold very easily so there you go that's

58
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,280
how I can show you that it will position on your head correctly no matter what

59
00:04:01,959 --> 00:04:09,959
even though there's no flexibility here but that gives it a stronger hinge so

60
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,959
let's see what's that made

61
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:20,479
of not quite sure if that's metal construction or not does not appear to

62
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:25,199
be no it looks like plastic construction but it does look reasonably strong so me

63
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,800
here let's just see how much Flex there is to that so the hinge feels pretty

64
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:33,039
good actually shouldn't be any reason for it to get damaged in normal in

65
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:36,720
normal sort of wear uh the extensions go quite far you can see like that so I

66
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,800
could wear these realistically if my head was this big which probably looks

67
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:45,120
kind of ridiculous I have about a mediumsized head like literally I have a mediumsized head I wear a mediumsized

68
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:49,320
motorcycle helmet so that should give you guys some idea how it'll fit on you

69
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:53,720
these are obviously open or are they hold on guess I'll be able to hear hey

70
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:58,440
slick say something hello say something quieter than that don't yell hello go

71
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,360
again hello okay yeah they're they're relatively open they're not they're not

72
00:05:00,039 --> 00:05:06,639
super closed by any stretch of the imagination but uh 40 mil drivers did I

73
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:10,800
mention that before okay okay okay so I've talked about how comfortable they look let's see how comfortable they

74
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:15,600
actually are here's how deep the foam on them goes check that

75
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,680
out if that doesn't if that doesn't get the point across then I don't know what

76
00:05:16,919 --> 00:05:22,840
does so let's go ahead and get these adjusted the carcarius headset actually

77
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:26,680
is one of the headsets that I've looked at in the past that was extremely

78
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:30,919
impressive in terms of comfort sound quality wasn't necessarily you know up

79
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:34,919
there with something from like you know something that costs more or is like

80
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:39,319
more like a sort of a premium music headphones but Comfort it could never

81
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:42,639
fault the carcarius for that actually no they are they are hold on I'll be

82
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,560
back so we did figure it out after some

83
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:54,160
sort of listening testing base is outstanding and then next they're closed

84
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:58,080
okay so once you put them on the surroundings around you like they become

85
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,840
muffled but you can still hear pretty well so they're not super sounded

86
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:03,840
isolating but we did notice that when

87
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:09,000
some when someone's when you're listening to it the sound is being delivered sort of to your ears and not

88
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:12,160
so much to your surroundings around you so if you were using these for your

89
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:16,280
daily commute number one is they're extremely comfortable number two is

90
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:20,560
you're not going to put the people around you to an extreme level of

91
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:24,120
discomfort so yeah all the stuff I said about this headband this is probably the

92
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:28,400
best headband I've yet encountered because the design of it is just super

93
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:31,720
smart like there's two solid pieces in here there's one up here and there's one

94
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:36,240
at the bottom and then what they have is they have like a foam middle in between

95
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,479
them so this right here is like one big fat cushion so there's there's harder

96
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:44,360
stuff here and there's harder stuff here but this just sits on your head like a

97
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:48,319
cloud there's a lot of flex to it and then that combined with the overall

98
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:53,840
lightness of the headphones in spite of how large they are and the uh softness

99
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:57,319
of the ear cups makes them extremely comfortable I mean I think if razer's

100
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,520
trying to make a comfortable headphone then mission accomplished so guys

101
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:07,080
remember there's two versions there's the Kraken and the Kraken Pro the pro

102
00:07:04,039 --> 00:07:10,599
has an actual mic which this one doesn't

103
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:12,240
have and the CRA and the Kraken folds so

104
00:07:10,599 --> 00:07:15,879
the pro is more like optimized for gaming and the Kraken is more of a more

105
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:19,280
of a headphone so I understand how it's not optimized for gaming in that sense

106
00:07:17,599 --> 00:07:22,560
but if you did use a snowball mic or some other kind of mic then it would

107
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:26,080
still be just fine for gaming because remember guys good headphones are good

108
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:29,520
