Razer Kraken Multi-Platform Wired Gaming Headset in Quartz
When it comes to the gaming industry, Razer is one of the leading brands. Their Rose Quartz collection is a raving favorite in the female community. In case you’re hesitant to purchase, better read my review first.
The Razer Quartz Collection is composed of various products ranging from microphones to mouses. Naturally, they are mostly in the color pink. Despite the numerous Quartz items available, I decided to settle on this particular product.
As of the time of writing, there are currently 4 Razer Quartz audio products including what I’m reviewing. I chose this because it satisfied my need for pink aesthetic, powerful sound system and adjustable styling.
Don’t turn down this product just because it’s meant for gaming. This is also great for educational purposes, office work, and other personal reasons.
This is what the Razer Kraken promises to deliver:
7.1 Surround Sound
Unfortunately, since I am an Apple user, I am unable to test and try out the 7.1 surround sound. I hope Razer includes Apple users in the future in these kind of sound advantages.
Cooling Gel-Infused Oval Ear Cushions
I am unable to appreciate the “cooling gel” sensation. I cannot feel it and I think this is just a marketing ploy. However, the ear cushions are comfortable. I noticed that the Razer Kraken cushion’s material is the same as the Beats by Dr. Dre. I am worried because the leatherette cushion of my Beats crumbled overtime. I hope I don’t meet the same problem with my Razer Kraken.
Custom-tuned 50 MM Drivers
The sound system is immersive and superb. I could clearly hear every single audio detail. The tiny details I have not appreciated or taken note of before has come into my full attention since I can now discern them.
Retractable Unidirectional Microphone
The microphone is not only retractable but it is also flexible. Thanks to Razer’s tech, it can remove background noises. This is a plus for me since my professors will not be able to hear my cats’ endless meowing.
Hidden Indented Eyewear Channels
Ever since I started wearing glasses, headsets have become a total pain. Fortunately, the Razer Kraken does not let me encounter that kind of pain. My glasses fit perfectly and the cushions do not give me any kind of pressure.

The pink and gray color is aesthetically pleasing. The mixture and the choice of shades are definitely a hit for the pink lovers out there.
It also has a built-in mute button. This is absolutely perfect if you want to go on mute with just a simple touch.
The serial number of the item can be found outside the box and in the left ear cup. Removing the ear cup can be quite a daunting task at first but fret not, the cups are designed to semi-automatically return back to its shell with just a use of your finger.
Be sure to register your Razer products via their website. Razer will ask for the serial and product number. The product number can be found at the back of the box.
If you’re loving the Razer Kraken headset, why not add this super duper adorable accessory?
Bought these cute cat ear gaming headset. :3 It’s the Somic G951. You can buy it for 36$ on Amazon. I use it for my Xbox one but I find it really comfy so far and the volume is good. Though my Xbox one controller had the thing for the plug. It didn’t seem to work on mine or my hubby’s controllers. So I had to buy a Microsoft adapter to get it to work. I’ve only used it a few days but it’s pretty good so far.
There is also a light up PC version for 59$ as well.
