The Razer Kraken has long been a favorite of people buying a gaming headset on the cheap. Listing at $80, and often discounted even lower, it’s one of the cheaper name-brand headsets on the market.
The Razer Kraken X is a no-frills take on a headset line that already had few frills to offer. For $50 it’s not a bad option, but it rests in the shadow of the standard Kraken, which offers better comfort and sound quality for only $20 to $30 more.
Inexpensive; Looks just like the high-end Kraken models; Extremely lightweight;
Headband could use more padding; Sound is “good enough” for a $50 headset and not much more; Noisy microphone;
