Razer Kraken X Headset Review and Mic Test! 

5:58 mic test..... Thank me later

I love that Razer is introducing cheaper variants. But the retractable microphone is something that I'll miss.

Just bought this headset and it is amazing. Very comfortable and light weight. Sounds amazing and the mic is very good. And for $50 this is a steal. It even comes with surround sound.

Mic Test is at 5:57.

Found you from searching for reviews on the razer peripherals quartz pink set. I came back to see more reviews and decided to watch this one too , I think the quality of your videos are really good and hope your channel grows as it looks as the other professional ones that do reviews on tech products , plus your personality feels genuine and you come across as down to earth and humble, which to me is a very nice touch. As for the razer Krakens, I think they are really nice , I love matte and all black accessories. I was looking at both the pink quartz and these , and to me the black ones are just perfect because they are not too flashy and just all black which is a color that goes with everything. The mic is a little bit groggy but not too bad as they sound decent and can be hidden to not have it bothering you when you dont want to talk on it (laughed on the part where you said that you can be talking for an hour and realize it's on mute xD) . And for the price I think they are at an ok range , I'm hoping one day I can get my hands on one of these. Blessings to you and thanks for your content 👏

the kraken x sounds very nice and affordable, I like how it's so simple effective and gets the job done, I hope I win because my current headset is pretty bad.

This has helped me out a TON, I’ve been looking for a budget headset that is also good at the same time, this has helped me make my mind.

I find it really generous that Razer finally decides to make a good headset at that price. My wallet can finally breathe.

Was surprised that despite it being a budget headset it still had that premium look! It would have been nice if it has retractable mic or maybe on/off lights indicator on it

been watching your channel for awhile, definitely deserves more subscribers

Finally a good reviewer that considers all the important details, thank you for the video :)

jus copped this headset for $30, the 7.1 surround sound bonus code made this thing sound 10x better. I've had a pair of Turtle Beach Recon x50's for about 3 years now, but a sudden upgrade to this headset made me love Razer to its fullest. 10/10 will definitely buy from this company again

You forgot about the included free 7.1 surround sound that comes with the headset

The mic is clear and the desing of the headsets looks clean

I think the kraken x it's a very light end affordable price from razer😁. I would love to win it.

So i currently use the HyperX cloud stinger for 2.5 years now and was looking for a budget upgrade , but in India these headset cost around 70$ which is way out of my budget :( Good and precise review

Seems Pretty nice for the Price and It's Pretty cool that Razer is now selling high-quality budget peripherals.

That square cable looks interesting. I wonder how much it’ll improve the durability. Great review as always.

I think that the kraken x is going to be a major start for pro gamers. But i think that the headset is really good and cheap. (also liked and subbed)

I own these headphones and they are great. The mic is rlly good and the support for so many devices is amazing. Definitely worth the money

Lovin' The Kraken's sounds and build quality

I've been looking in getting these gaming headphones because there so light weight and comfortable. The mic is really good which as online gamer I use alot. I definitely would like to obtain one of these. Btw just discovered your channel great review.

I love to see more headsets for lower prices

I've been watching a lot of reviews on the Kraken X, debating if I should buy them, and you're review is one of best ones I've seen. I'll probably buy one unless I get lucky with the giveaway!

I clicked the video already knowing that there was a giveaway cuz thats how awesome Brainbean is lol. I think that the Kraken X looks good especially for the price, but the no light on the mic is a bit disappointing since I always want to know when my mic is on.

I really like your design and its price is incredible, nice video thanks!

Our family you know like isn't that financially good and I am loving how they are making things more affordable and I love how u are doing the mic test so I know if I want to get them or not since that is like the maim thing that I use

It looks pretty good especially for $50. Seems like a good headset and mic seems good aswell.

Sounds like a good headset. Great review, BB

Looks good, also happy to see that Razer is finally doing something for people on a budget (Razer Kraken X, Razer Blackwidow Lite, Razer Cynosa, etc...) I currently use my cheap af headphones bought from a cheap store, I tried the Razer Kraken X and they sound amazing. If I had the money, I would definetly spend the money on this. Thanks for the professional review as always.

Just re-watch your Old Video Dank, you come a loong way bud

I think the kraken X is cool because I can actually afford it plus I like that razor is actually making affordable options for gaming

legend has it. razer will make something that people can buy.

I think these would be a much better pair than the other Krakens for carrying around for daily life. I wouldn't want the other Krakens in a travel bag without a case and these seem pretty good even for office work and conference calls.

The Kraken X imo is definitely a solid headset but it could be better if the mic were retractable lol. Also could you check out the Steelseries Arctis 9X and the HyperX Cloud Mix and then do a comparison between the two? I'm thinking of getting a new headset that's why.

Finally a headset I can use for long hours at a time

As someone who has never had a razer product or even a proper headset I think this would be great to start off but I just gotta save up for it a bit, Can’t Wait!

I was about to buy my brother a razer kraken 7.1v2 but the Razer kraken x has made me think twice. Just seems great overall!

Finally something that looks classy!

Its really cool 👍. Specially for me because im Iranian and Rial(iri currency) is worthless and 30 bucks saving helps me

dude no way is this headset new? i was just watching your video of the kraken 7.1 v2 and i wanted to check out your channel and found this video!

Nice headphones, clean design. The retractable microphone isn't even a major drawback.

I'm not a big fan of the big razor headphones so I really like the look of these and they would go nice with my set up, also I don't know how you don't have more subs lol

I have a doubt: shall I go for kraken TE or simple Kraken 2019...are there any other viable option for 100 bucks do reply plz

This headset is very great for the price, nice to see razer selling budget friendly headsets maybe it will change the "overpriced" perspective that alot of people have about razer

I think the x is a nice affordable option for people without a ton of money. Good review! :)

Its a great budget headset for only $50, though it is made out of plastic, that's what you should expect, plus it would feel light on your head. Good luck to everyone

hello! i had this headset for a while, maybe 1-2 years max and as any cheap headset, it does break after a while the bands you use to lengthen the band both snapped and got stuck in place, and the band sort of snaps after a while aswell its good for its price, but if youre looking for a long term headset this isnt the go to!!

The Kraken X is perfect. Good mic, comfy and cheap!

Woah the kraken x looks so cool so much slimmer and compact which I think would be awesome for gaming 😀!!!

Honestly that mic blows me away for that price point. I’ve heard $100+ sets that sound super nasally. Really great option for a budget buy.

Would you recommend these in terms of comfort and heat accumulation during long gaming hours ?

Does anybody has problems with the mic? I bought a headset online and the mic was to short and i couldnt talk now i am afraid that it also on this headset i would like to buy it in a shop were i can try it but lockdown ends in 2 weeks and thats to long

Did I miss the content related to its 7.1, say directional sound (software)?

I got the Razer Kraken x recently and I have problems with using the mic, when you plug in the headset is the mic already being used?

Looks like a good headset! My current one is a good weight, and is apparently just a bit heavier than these

Its cool because when u say "Razer" you brain says "expensive" but with this headset you can still have razer without paying much. Btw been here since 1k subs:D

@Brainbean , which microphone are you using to record this video?

i had the kraken pro and i will say it has seen better days, be cool to actually give these a try

Kraken X or the Kraken TE? They're both the same price but I've heard some bad reviews on the Kraken TE

The only thing i wanna say im surprised that razer made 50$ headset with these specs so its cool to have one

Hey was wondering should i get the razer kracken X or razer kracken 7.1 surround sound since they are 15$ apart? I Cant decide which one too get can someone give feedback?

The Kraken X is a very good headset, it also has a better mic than a lot of other premium expensive headsets. It also looks very comfortable.

My son just recently bought the head set and is having challenges using it. Where does the long cord plug into? He does not have a computer, he is usung the tv and he has a PS4. Any and all suggestions are welcomed

The Kraken X is actually affordable and a good price for what it’s offering. Might lack stuff that the $80 Kraken holds, but it is worth it :)

I think the Kraken X is definitely worth the $50, coming from a very well known company such as Razer. Nice review

Is it better than the Hs50 for consoles

So which one would you say is better razor kracken X or razor kracken

Does the 7.1 surround sound need additional money? Or should it be purchased separately? and does it work on consoles?

5:57 god damn the mic is so good

I want to teach ESL and this seems to be the clearest mic for cheap. Thanks!

How do you mute your mic

I own a electra v2 and kraken x and I would recommend the electra v2 although my mic quality is worse than the kraken x but the audio sounds way better on the electra and it also doesn't look as pleasing as the kraken x

I got this before I watched the video. The microphone plastic started peeling. So I get the turtle beach recon 200

It seems a solid product, there have been multiple good headsets around 50$ lastly

is there anyway to adjust the mic, I've been told my voice sounds deeper than it really is.. I'm not sure how to fix it? When I hear myself echo on a game it sounds so different than my actual voice and it's super frustrating

Kinda curious is this actually almosy the same as kraken 7.1 pro v2 because if it is i will be so god damn pissed cuz i juz bought mine for a year and now razer released a new headphone...

Did you try them stereo or with the 7.1 surround sound

Do they cover the whole ears? Also whats the lenght of the splitter?

i think for a budget friendly headset thats a great specs but like you said its difficult to know if the mic is on or off, i prefer to know if the mute is on or not, cause sometime i often snag the cord of my razer kraken and it switches to mute and i know its mute because the switch indicated that my mic is mute. also wish they have a variety of colors for this, and i like to roll my mic in cause i dont want to ruin the cord of the mic, its also nice to roll it back when its not in use goodluck everyone

How can i put on mute?????

Hello, plesae what are these two books behind you on the shelf? Thank you

Just bought it and the mic sounds like the OG XBOX 360 mic should I take it back?

This is the start of Razer's new generation of quality products.

Do this headphone sounds better with sterio sound or with that razer surround software ?????

😱 i don't believe razer make a cheaper product and it's a budget gaming headset, the mic is pretty decent though, they cut the cost with no RGB and thats a great deal, "RGB can't make you pro", i hope i can grab one...

Razer products are premium. Plastic or aluminum, you still have the premium quality and performance that you can get for a Razer. This is indeed an excellent review. Continue what you're doing. Continue giving out a very informative review.

it is lightweight, the mic is clear, and the headphone is comfortable wish razer produce more affordable products. compare hyper x stinger to the kraken x

What is the difference between the Razer Kraken X and the Razer Kraken X Lite?

Razer kraken x is kind of op, but if it would be wireless that would be amazing. I'm planing to pick them up if i don't win this giveaway. Nice video bro. Keep it up!

The Kraken X seems like a headset i wold like to buy as soon as possible.

What timing. Broke my headset watching this video and it just so happens to be the Razer Kraken headphones. Maybe this was a calling. P.S anyone how doesn't believe me I have proof.

5:57 minute of the mic test

I need help on mine idk if it’s my pc or idk but I hear my self when I talk is that normal

the razer kraken x headset is comfortable i have bought it and it only lasted 7 months because it broke in half because how light it is

If you make a video and your editing it, can you use audacity to edit the sound of the headset

The Kraken X is amazing, the price, looks and how it performs is really amazing. It looks great and minimalistic designs.

can you still use the mic without the extra cord extension?

can you help me? I can't seem to get the mic to work because it's not showing up as an input in the Realtek audio console! I've checked everywhere and now you're my last hope!!! (btw I'm on a laptop and the headphones still work)

Kraken x Or TB Recon50X?
