Haha so after hearing all your feedback, the mic is actually better than I thought. I guess I’m jaded from using my desktop mic for so long after numerous headset mic reviews....but yes this mic actually deserves more credit after hearing it again here

That Mic is just DECENT? Holy shit I swear that mic is better than most headsets I've seen.

2:38 microphone test. i gotchu fam

The mic sounds so good that I didn’t even know he was using it

4:03 Can we appreciate that he actually edited the reflection to his glasses

"cheaper than a video game" *Laughs in steam sales*

I have been using these for 8 months and so far, one complaint. 1: Audio still crisp as ever 2. Super comfortable, lightweight, doesnt fatigue me like my old g231s 3. Mic is great, good enough for voiceovers if youre starting out on youtube 4. can literally see the difference between a gaming and non gaming headset, in valorant my teammates cannot hear enemies, but I can hear them clearly and give them a heads up about it. If I dont say anything they cannot hear the enemy right behind them 5. Earcups are great, soft and durable, no problem for people with glasses as I wear my eye protection glasses while using these The only complaint is that my headband's right side snapped, only the top. No idea how, maybe because of the fragile plastic construction. I stuffed the gap with plasticine and welded the plastic back and its fine again. Just make sure to use them carefully and dont drop them. for 50$, great deal. Headband couldve used metal tho UPDATE I was right about the headband being metal. it snapped from both left and right side. I ghetto patched it up but I think its time for new ones. I travelled with them 3 times, nothing happened. Sound great still and work fine, just not comfy cuz the band snapped. If you can keep them safe theyre good, but i think this is the end of me using these for now

you wouldn't expect the microphone to be mind-blowing? it is, it sounds so freaking natural

I think Razer just took cocaine when deciding this thing's price.

Oh a 50 dollar from Razer? Are we dreaming? It even has no RGB. Razer, is that you?

2:38 mic test

I love the fact that you include how comfortable the headphones are with glasses.

4:03 that was amazing camera footage

Razer? Cheap? What year is it.

Ok, I don’t even wear glasses, but I got slightly emotional when u tested this with them on-

really good headset, i own this and i wear glasses and after 4 hours of gaming, there is no pain on my ears.

The 50$ Kraken has the best mic of all their headsets 😂

Razer + Cheap = Late April fools joke is it?

Yes, that microphone quality at that price is exactly what I'm looking for!

I bought this headset and I have to say I really like it. The plastic feels a bit cheap but the bass and surround sound is very good. I recommend it if you are on a budget

Ty for mentioning the comfort with glasses :)

4:02, love this shot dude 👌

A warning for anyone planning to buy this, the plastic is really cheap and breaks extremely easily, even through everyday use. For me it lasted about 6-7 months, and I think I can say I was lucky. If you really want a Razer headset I would say wait until you can buy one with an aluminium headband.

The mic is so good I couldn’t find the part where u were talking about the mic Bc it all sounds the same 😂

dude i just love you because you test it with glasses

4:04 Looks like vietnam flashbacks

The mic test and the audio from the camera literally has no difference

guys i have this headset and i love how comfortable it is, but the mic sometimes buzzes when you bump the wire!!!! keep this in mind before purchasing :)

I’m a big Razer fan. And I can tell you that their products are getting so much better than their older ones. Good job Razer🔥🔥

50 DOLLARS? RAZER? NO RGB? QUALITY??? What has this world turned Into...

How tf is that mic iffy!? it sounds so good!

1:26 does expand to fit a pretty large head Me: it aint big enough

Your video quality is dope...🔥🔥🔥👑👑

Razer does a damn good work there.A really decent mic, good build quality, a good surround sound program,I gotta say it’s worth the price.Another thing is your review is great. Keep it up man, you’re doing a good job.

Love how he mentions the pro of the price out weighs the cons... Meanwhile prime day 2020 has them on sale for $32

BE WARNED BEFORE YOU BUY THIS HEADSET! Within a month, the adjusting part of the headband (the part that moves up and down to fit ur head) BROKE in 2 parts on one side of the headset, making it UNUSEABLE, in the normal configuration, many people seem to have the same problem as well.

You should do a $50 headset comparison. I'd love to know which headset I should buy for the price point

Good strategy Razer, first make it expensive, to get good reputation. Then sell cheap stuff....

can you cut a fan on in the background so I can see how the mic sounds with my fan on

I like how the ear cups arent enormous unlike the originals, but if only this design was transported to a wireless and more durable version

That mic sounds damn good. Much, much better than other headsets at that price point. If I didn’t already own the HS70 as a backup to my Sennheisers, I’d pick these up immediately.

That mic sounds better than the one on my Nari wich is 150£ 😂

I’ve currently sent back 2 of these for defects. The first had a grounding issue with the wire, causing my buddies to get earraped by my mic. The second one starting cracking on the headband, and I treated that thing with great care. Beware if you go about purchasing one of these, you’re taking a gamble. It works great when it decided to work though!

For anyone interested in this headset I personally can't recommend it, my mic like peaks and some of what I say just doesn't go through discord unless I change my mic sensitivity a crazy amount, and I get crazy unresolved sound leakage that makes me feel bad for others, the software just didn't work properly and lastly the plastic headband is just not a good idea, mine ended up cracking, and it's really hard to fix even with hot glue and tape, sort of just comes undone again

2:38 MIC TEST

I have the Kraken, and Kraken tournament with THX surround sound. These headsets are some of the best I've used, for PS4. For $50 though you can't go wrong with this headset for console gaming. Also the tournament version is around $100-$120 but they're worth it, even without using THX settings on, you still hear everything very clearly.

i like how he does a glasses test. its very important since you can be so sold on a headset and when you go home its a massive letdown since its not as comfortable as you thought and for me, comfort is the most important factor over sound quality or mic quality. Bonus points if its wireless but im not too concerned about it.

Oh wow the mic tests you've done are really helpful. Just compared your logitech g433 vid with this one and the difference in mic quality is highly noticeable, thank you!

I'd like to see a vid where you compare headsets in the 50 dollar price range, then give your opinion on which is the best.

I want to see a comparison between the Corsair HS60 and Razer Kraken X.

I’m on my second pair of these. They fit and sound awesome. The only downside is both my first and current pair broke the right side ear piece and they’ve only lasted maybe 4 months. Like he said they are plastic so be very careful taking them on/off for $50 they’re not bad besides being plastic and can easily break

I got these used on amazon for $19 and the box arrived sealed and brand new. Been using it for two days and its pretty comfy and great.

U should make a second gaming channel with stuff like ur old videos from a long time ago. I loved ur old 2k videos.

Nice vid as always! Keep up the good work

Just got these 2 days ago and holy shit the best $50 bucks I spent. SOLID HEADSET 💯💯

Great headset, I use it for VR with the Rift S and it's made my VR gaming experience much more immersive

4:02 RTX ON

Kraken X vs. Cloud Stinger vs. HS50

I dropped mine 3 feet above carpet on accident and the adjustable right arm bent backwards and broke. I'm loving this durability.

That’s without a doubt the best headset mic I’ve ever heard

Love your videos man can’t get enough of em

can you do the ultamite comparison:Razer Kraken X vs HyperX Cloud Stinger vs Corsair HS50 vs Steelseries Arctis 1

As a user of these for 6 months I would like to add some points. The build quality on first look may look alright but it isn't, got my first crack few months in, near the right ear cup(right under the two screens facing inside). More time passed and a crack appeared on the top frame. Fast forward now it's been six months and the top is cracked (towards the right side). Now I've managed to glue it back and it's holding fine again for now but how long till it opens up or another part of the headset breaks? Another point i'd like the add is the headset comes with 3.5 mm Jack which means if ur using this on ur PC u will be needing a soundcard to properly translate the mic audio inputted. Even if u use the female to 2 male adapters provided there will be constant static with the audio delivered through mic and it's very sufferable. I ended up getting a cheap 2 dollar sound soundcard and it already sounds a lots better. The mic is still not as good as this video but it's improved. The sound, well it's alright, the bass isn't too heavy and since I have no previous experience with headsets I can't elaborate further. Without the soundcard there will be a constant static you will hear(noticable at max volume). And that's it for the issues, the headset is very comfy and lightweight. You can wear it for hours on end. Thanks for reading .

I cant seem to activate my surround sound, keeps taking to a “page not found”

You should definitely do a video on best headset at each price point! I would love that very much! 😄

Cheap razer? Don't mind if i do

the plastic arms break over time if you arent careful while taking these off. I wouldn't recommend if you usually take headphones on and off or like using them in bed.

What’s the best headset for under $70 for call of duty modern warfare? The things I care about the most are 1. Audio (Really important) 2 Mic (Important) 3. Comfort (care a little bit under decent amount 4. Extras like controls on it (Don’t care if I have it at all 5. Build (Don’t give a shit about if it’s plastic or whatever just don’t want it to break)

I dig my Corsair HS50's but if these Razers had a metal headband, I'd probably switch. I think the mic sounds pretty clean, especially for the price...

The mic is actually pretty decent.

Just ordered a pair of these. I'm really excited to see how the surround works cause I'm sick of getting wasted not knowing where the footsteps are coming from in Modern Warfare Lol.

Thanks for the review it helped me choose which budget headset to get. Thanks!

Decent mic ? The f***, it’s amazing, not to mention how excellent the background noise is, easily razer’s best mic, by far

Amazing videos, Frank..💪🤙 Love from India 💪💪 P.S. PLZZ do a $1000 3rd Gen Ryzen build after it launches ...

The mic is good, thats it. Compared to my turtle beach recon 200, around the same price are a much batter option guys. The only thing that sucks is they have to be charged. Very good battery life though.

I’ve got a new job and I will be working in a call centre and due to Covid I need to have my own headset, thanks to this review I will be buying them :)

$50 Razer Kraken X Better than the $100 ones. Razer: (Chuckles), I'm In Danger

the most important question is...will the kraken cat ears fit on the kraken x?

This has great audio for music, definitely recommend adding the 7.1 surround sound add on if you can

I didn’t even notice you switched to the headset mic before you said it

this things will be added on kraken x elite: Bluetooth RGB Oval/Round shape ear cups

good to see a more affordable headset from Razer, they make some solid products imo also i dont mind a full plastic construction, my current Sennheiser HD599(cost around 150 euros) is also full plastic, still feels really solid and its extremely comfortable

I really liked your review, I'm waiting for the kraken x to arrive. I just subscribed to your channel.

my mic is really quite and everyone tells me that they can only hear me breathing, but when too far, they cant hear me at all

Hey Man, I would really appreciate you doing a best headset for $50 review/video thing thankS. Or if other companies have promised cheach headsets then wait cus that's good too. Great video as always

Can you compare this to the HyperX Cloud Stinger ?

It is available now 10/13/2020 on amazon for 32 dollars!! Go get yourself one of these badboys!!

Got this headset. One thing I don’t like is the mic being loose. When you move it up it drops down which can be heard by your friends/teammates. When you move your head around it can also be heard.

Could u show the mic sounds quality when connected to a PS4 or Xbox controller? Just curious if the mic quality takes a hit... Thanks! 👍😁

2 weeks ago I brought a Hyperx cloud stinger and now I'm starting to regret

thanks for this i'm getting my friend a headset and was looking for one that was not too expensisve but wasn't a cheap piece of plastic, this vid helped me so much and will be getting this headset for him. Thanks!😁

Just brought these for £30 in the uk 🇬🇧 and great headset to be onist .especially my steel series artics x9 broke after 8 months

I’m like “i need a good cheap headset and i love rfp” then i saw this and cried tears of joy

4:02 haha interesting. Det non mirrored reflection and the real reflection in the frame of the glasses gave it away ;) The quality of the reflection was a little to clear to be true. Haha nice touch tho :P Wish all tech youtubers were as creative with their shots as you are🙏🏼

Just got them because they were on sale and my old ones broke and im loving them!

1:26 i wouldnt recommend doing that since the joint is plastic , i bought this and it did not last a month. The right earpiece just broke off , just by me taking the headphones of my head , it just popped off like cheap chinese product and when i asked for warranty they said broken things dont get warranty. Well played razer.

I just got this headset and in my experience the mic picks up your breath a lot, but I have a wind muff from a lapel mic set I have which if I put that on it, it is an amazing mic for the price. Also I wear blue light glasses when I game, they have a very thin metal frame, but there is no uncomfortable pressure on them. But if you wear thicker frames they might be uncomfortable.

I just purchased it. Its now down to $35!

some people are so harsh with reviews, expecting so much from this 50$ headset. but i love how you reviewed this, you earned a new subscriber :D

Believe me this is the best headset you can get for 50 dollars it’s better then a 150 dollar headset if you are an everyday gamer GET THIS HEADSET The surround sound and everything is virtually perfect! Only downside THE ONLY is the bot retractable mic and when your gaming you probably won’t even notice it so it’s perfect
