welcome to my unboxing and first look at something very special so I haven't
checked out the Kraken before it's a razor headset emphasis on comfort and
sound quality but especially Comfort
this right here is a very special
edition of the Razer Kraken headset this is the signature
Black Edition so every signature Black Edition is numbered they only make
1,337 each year for their select special
partners and you can't buy these you cannot buy this so there will be no link
to buy or if there is a link it won't work but you can experience the unboxing
with me there you go each one of them comes with a little signed letter from
minang tan who is their CEO and chief
gamer so that is a very cool title but I
guess when you're the EO you can give yourself whatever title you want like
I'm the chief gamer of you know Sony or
something you know like why not uh so as with our current gener the Kraken has
evolved from a Razer classic so the yeah took several years of sampling y so
basically several years and this is a signature Black Edition which is an all
black version of the Kraken so here we
go we're going to go ahead and uh pull this guy out so we'll have a look at
what there is in here in terms of document razor packaging is always like
So Pro it's like so good just love it so
stylish you know glossy text on the matte
paper all right what we got here so
congratulations there's no turning back quick start guide for the Kraken as well
as a razor sticker there you go shows you how to sort of do things and uh and
operate stuff also shows you how to extending your headphones lifespan oh we
recommend stretching the headphones gently apart before placing them over
your head so a few little cool little tips and tricks there now we can go
ahead and oh look at these like little rubber elastics to hold it in place see
integrated into the packaging ooh I can
tell you already the materials feel very very comfy so it's quite light this is
folding so there's two ver two versions of the Kraken there's the Kraken and the
Kraken Pro so this is the folding version uh both of them are super
optimized for music or games I've said this before but I'll say it as many
times as it takes until people start listening there's no such thing as a
good premium gaming headphone or gaming
headset it's called a good headset or
headphones if they're good that means their audio reproduction quality is good
which means that game audio will be good so good is good and bad is not good so
that's all there is to it so these are
with 40 mil drivers and supremely comfortable position I don't remember
where I was going with that so the point is good is good so when they say ah yes
so when Razer Brands it as good for music and good for games that means it's
good for movies too don't worry about it okay so check this out guys look at all
the look at all the cushioning up here so they've got like a mesh uh like kind
of a sporty type material here which means that if your head gets hot or
you're sweating or whatever else it should be quite breathable a lot of
headphones make this mistake where they use like a pleather or some kind of
non-breathable surface here not everyone has such long hair that they're going to
get air flow in there so if you don't then will still breathe quite nicely and
the cups themselves they don't rotate much now this is something I haven't
seen in a while however I mean the joke I always make when I when I unbox
headphones and headsets that rotate a lot is if your ears are positioned here
then this will fit just fine so I think this will be just fine for 99.9% of
people plus you can probably get away without it because there's so much
flexibility in the ear Cup itself so it's it's hard to hold these I mean the
folding mechanism Works quite well they fold very easily so there you go that's
how I can show you that it will position on your head correctly no matter what
even though there's no flexibility here but that gives it a stronger hinge so
let's see what's that made
of not quite sure if that's metal construction or not does not appear to
be no it looks like plastic construction but it does look reasonably strong so me
here let's just see how much Flex there is to that so the hinge feels pretty
good actually shouldn't be any reason for it to get damaged in normal in
normal sort of wear uh the extensions go quite far you can see like that so I
could wear these realistically if my head was this big which probably looks
kind of ridiculous I have about a mediumsized head like literally I have a mediumsized head I wear a mediumsized
motorcycle helmet so that should give you guys some idea how it'll fit on you
these are obviously open or are they hold on guess I'll be able to hear hey
slick say something hello say something quieter than that don't yell hello go
again hello okay yeah they're they're relatively open they're not they're not
super closed by any stretch of the imagination but uh 40 mil drivers did I
mention that before okay okay okay so I've talked about how comfortable they look let's see how comfortable they
actually are here's how deep the foam on them goes check that
out if that doesn't if that doesn't get the point across then I don't know what
does so let's go ahead and get these adjusted the carcarius headset actually
is one of the headsets that I've looked at in the past that was extremely
impressive in terms of comfort sound quality wasn't necessarily you know up
there with something from like you know something that costs more or is like
more like a sort of a premium music headphones but Comfort it could never
fault the carcarius for that actually no they are they are hold on I'll be
back so we did figure it out after some
sort of listening testing base is outstanding and then next they're closed
okay so once you put them on the surroundings around you like they become
muffled but you can still hear pretty well so they're not super sounded
isolating but we did notice that when
some when someone's when you're listening to it the sound is being delivered sort of to your ears and not
so much to your surroundings around you so if you were using these for your
daily commute number one is they're extremely comfortable number two is
you're not going to put the people around you to an extreme level of
discomfort so yeah all the stuff I said about this headband this is probably the
best headband I've yet encountered because the design of it is just super
smart like there's two solid pieces in here there's one up here and there's one
at the bottom and then what they have is they have like a foam middle in between
them so this right here is like one big fat cushion so there's there's harder
stuff here and there's harder stuff here but this just sits on your head like a
cloud there's a lot of flex to it and then that combined with the overall
lightness of the headphones in spite of how large they are and the uh softness
of the ear cups makes them extremely comfortable I mean I think if razer's
trying to make a comfortable headphone then mission accomplished so guys
remember there's two versions there's the Kraken and the Kraken Pro the pro
has an actual mic which this one doesn't
have and the CRA and the Kraken folds so
the pro is more like optimized for gaming and the Kraken is more of a more
of a headphone so I understand how it's not optimized for gaming in that sense
but if you did use a snowball mic or some other kind of mic then it would
still be just fine for gaming because remember guys good headphones are good
