The Razer Synapse 3 software is one of the many gems that makes this product stand out. Using this software, you can do all of the following with ease:
- Fine tune specific audio settings to your liking. This includes enhancements such as Sound Normalization and Voice Clarity, and you can also use the EQ to adjust 10 individual frequencies.
- Adjust/toggle microphone settings. This includes enhancements, sensitivity, volume, and even sidetone. Sidetone lets you listen to what your microphone is picking up with NO DELAY, so you can hear yourself and your real-life surroundings with the headset on.
- Customize audio for specific applications using the Mixer. You can select if you would rather have Stereo or Surround Sound for each application specifically, and you can also calibrate and adjust the spatial audio if you hear things differently.
- Manage/create multiple presets that contain all of the aforementioned settings to switch between on the fly. You can even assign these presets to applications, so your headset will automatically switch to them when a specific application is being used. It will switch right back to what you were on before when you stop using that application as well.
The microphone sounds just as good as the other Razer Kraken headset microphones if not better, and as I have mentioned, can be customized using the Razer Synapse 3 software.
The headset is extremely comfortable, and the cooling gel-infused ear cushions are amazing. They feel great and the headset is very light overall. For those wondering, the construction is made up plastic and what feels to be a lightweight aluminum. As advertised, the top cushion is definitely softer than previous Kraken iterations, and sometimes it almost feels as though I am not even wearing my headset! Good build quality and comfort.
The audio controller takes the headphone input in the form of a 3.5 mm audio jack and outputs to your PC via USB. I know already wrote a bit about the audio controller earlier in the review, but here are its features as well:
- Volume Up/Volume Down buttons
- Toggle Microphone Mute button
- Bass adjustment knob
- Game/Chat balance knob
- Toggle THX Spatial Audio button
There is also a basic in-line audio controller on the cable of the headset, and it allows for the following:
- Volume Adjustment knob
- Toggle Microphone Mute switch
The main thing that everyone wants to know is how do they sound? Well, I personally think that they sound great and are a clear upgrade from my previous Kraken 7.1 Chroma headset. I use the THX Spatial Audio for games, and it is actually crazy how easy it is to tell where things are in-game. It was one of the first things that I noticed when I used these for the first time when playing games.
In conclusion, this headset is honestly insanely good, especially for the price. I felt that I needed to do it justice by writing such a lengthy review to go over most of the features and shed light on some misinformed/uninformed reviews. I've spent a decent amount of time writing this, and hopefully at least some of you found it helpful. Let me know if you have any questions, and have a nice day/night.

P.S. Please excuse any spelling/grammar errors. If I made a big mistake in my writing then please let me know, and I will fix it.
Okay so, their is a lot of good things about this headset and a few bad things but the bad things are more substantial in my opinion. Okay the good-
- Comfort, I'd rate 10 out of 5 if I could. I wore these for three hours straight and my head and ears felt fine. No complaints what so ever when it comes to comfort.
- The cooling gel pads, I'd give this a 4.9/5 but that is just because I didn't sweat so I don't know if it would actually absorb the sweat or not. But from the first time i put them on and took them off they still felt cooler than my other two headsets.
- Room/fitting. I'd say this was a quite roomy headset. I'd give this 5/5 stars. I have small ears so it was slightly too big but not a problem because it is easily adjustable.
- Long Lasting, N/A I can't give this a rating yet considering I just got them today but I'll will be back in a month with more info...
Now the bad...
- Sound Quality, Okay this was a big downer for me I was not expecting to have to follow a bunch of confusing steps to get my sound quality to be immersive. I would rate this a 2.5/5. Also the THX spatial audio only works if you have this downloaded and it is such a pain to do. I've watched multiple videos showing how to do it but in the end it is not even worth it for me and here is why...
The headphone jack connects to the adapter that controls the sound and THX spatial audio (which u have to download on your computer) then you need to hook it up to your console or pc well... I dont sit directly in front of the screen that is 40 inches because I don't want my eyes hurting after 10 minutes. So long story short the cord doesn't reach.
Overall There is a lot of good things that out weigh the bad but still the sound quality is so important to me and for a 100 dollar headset it was just a complete waste.
My finally rating would be a 3.5/5 but I'm giving it a 3/5 for now because I need to rate how long it lasts yet.
I really hope this review helps people out and let me know if I made any spelling errors. My brain tends to go faster than I can type.
Nothing to do with this review but i wouldn't recommend the turtle beach recon 70's they broke in less than a year after normal 3 to 6 hour daily use.

Anteriormente he usado otro tipo de marcas como Yeyian, GameFactor y HyperX, pero estos por su precio, comodidad y calidad salen ganando y por mucho.
Soy una persona de cabeza grande y por eso he tenido muchos problemas al momento de buscar unos headset que sean comodos y se adapten a mi figura, estos cumplieron ampliamente con lo que quería, se adaptan y regresan a su forma original sin problema alguno.
El audio 7.1 es buenísimo, juego frecuentemente Warzone y me ha servido muchísimo para poder localizar demás jugadores por medio del sonido sondround.
Vivo en Yucatán, es un lugar muy muy caluroso, cosa que me ha causado problemas con otros headset que he usado, todo por sus almohadillas de vinipiel o plastico, estos cuentan con una tela y material termico que les puedo dar mi palabra que nunca he sudado con estos audifonos puestos.
En definitiva una joyita y una chulada, como diria Oscar de La Capital 😎👍
