I'm the chief gamer of you know Sony or

00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:14.159
something you know like why not uh so as with our current gener the Kraken has

00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:17.720
evolved from a Razer classic so the yeah took several years of sampling y so

00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:24.640
basically several years and this is a signature Black Edition which is an all

00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:27.079
black version of the Kraken so here we

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

00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:36.119
what there is in here in terms of document razor packaging is always like

00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:38.439
So Pro it's like so good just love it so

00:01:36.119 --> 00:01:43.759
stylish you know glossy text on the matte

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:45.680
paper all right what we got here so

00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:49.920
congratulations there's no turning back quick start guide for the Kraken as well

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

00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:59.280
operate stuff also shows you how to extending your headphones lifespan oh we

00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:03.000
recommend stretching the headphones gently apart before placing them over

00:02:01.240 --> 00:02:07.039
your head so a few little cool little tips and tricks there now we can go

00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:12.920
ahead and oh look at these like little rubber elastics to hold it in place see

00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:15.440
integrated into the packaging ooh I can

00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:19.000
tell you already the materials feel very very comfy so it's quite light this is

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

00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:26.760
Kraken Pro so this is the folding version uh both of them are super

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

00:02:28.519 --> 00:02:36.680
times as it takes until people start listening there's no such thing as a

00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:40.200
good premium gaming headphone or gaming

00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:42.879
headset it's called a good headset or

00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:48.360
headphones if they're good that means their audio reproduction quality is good

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

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:56.319
that's all there is to it so these are

00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.560
with 40 mil drivers and supremely comfortable position I don't remember

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

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

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

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

00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:17.879
of a sporty type material here which means that if your head gets hot or

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:21.280
you're sweating or whatever else it should be quite breathable a lot of

00:03:19.799 --> 00:03:25.120
headphones make this mistake where they use like a pleather or some kind of

00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:29.480
non-breathable surface here not everyone has such long hair that they're going to

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

00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:37.080
the cups themselves they don't rotate much now this is something I haven't

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

00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:44.040
headphones and headsets that rotate a lot is if your ears are positioned here

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

00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:53.000
people plus you can probably get away without it because there's so much

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

00:03:54.599 --> 00:04:00.079
folding mechanism Works quite well they fold very easily so there you go that's

00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:03.280
how I can show you that it will position on your head correctly no matter what

00:04:01.959 --> 00:04:09.959
even though there's no flexibility here but that gives it a stronger hinge so

00:04:06.200 --> 00:04:09.959
let's see what's that made

00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:20.479
of not quite sure if that's metal construction or not does not appear to

00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:25.199
be no it looks like plastic construction but it does look reasonably strong so me

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

00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:33.039
good actually shouldn't be any reason for it to get damaged in normal in

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

00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:39.800
could wear these realistically if my head was this big which probably looks

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

00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:49.320
motorcycle helmet so that should give you guys some idea how it'll fit on you

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

00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:58.440
slick say something hello say something quieter than that don't yell hello go

00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:01.360
again hello okay yeah they're they're relatively open they're not they're not

00:05:00.039 --> 00:05:06.639
super closed by any stretch of the imagination but uh 40 mil drivers did I

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

00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:15.600
actually are here's how deep the foam on them goes check that

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

00:05:16.919 --> 00:05:22.840
does so let's go ahead and get these adjusted the carcarius headset actually

00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:26.680
is one of the headsets that I've looked at in the past that was extremely

00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:30.919
impressive in terms of comfort sound quality wasn't necessarily you know up

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:34.919
there with something from like you know something that costs more or is like

00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:39.319
more like a sort of a premium music headphones but Comfort it could never

00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:42.639
fault the carcarius for that actually no they are they are hold on I'll be

00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:48.560
back so we did figure it out after some

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:54.160
sort of listening testing base is outstanding and then next they're closed

00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:58.080
okay so once you put them on the surroundings around you like they become

00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:02.840
muffled but you can still hear pretty well so they're not super sounded

00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:03.840
isolating but we did notice that when

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

00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:12.160
so much to your surroundings around you so if you were using these for your

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:16.280
daily commute number one is they're extremely comfortable number two is

00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:20.560
you're not going to put the people around you to an extreme level of

00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:24.120
discomfort so yeah all the stuff I said about this headband this is probably the

00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:28.400
best headband I've yet encountered because the design of it is just super

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

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

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

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

00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:48.319
cloud there's a lot of flex to it and then that combined with the overall

00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:53.840
lightness of the headphones in spite of how large they are and the uh softness

00:06:51.280 --> 00:06:57.319
of the ear cups makes them extremely comfortable I mean I think if razer's

00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:00.520
trying to make a comfortable headphone then mission accomplished so guys

00:06:58.840 --> 00:07:07.080
remember there's two versions there's the Kraken and the Kraken Pro the pro

00:07:04.039 --> 00:07:10.599
has an actual mic which this one doesn't

00:07:07.080 --> 00:07:12.240
have and the CRA and the Kraken folds so

00:07:10.599 --> 00:07:15.879
the pro is more like optimized for gaming and the Kraken is more of a more

00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:19.280
of a headphone so I understand how it's not optimized for gaming in that sense

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

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:26.080
still be just fine for gaming because remember guys good headphones are good

00:07:23.960 --> 00:07:29.520
