With all this RGB lighting, you’re free to also make the Kraken V4 your own.

This review was made possible thanks to a review sample provided by Razer.

The company had no input nor saw the contents of this review prior to publication.

The Razer Kraken has never looked so good, and Razer has adjusted how it approaches pricing, too.

It’s a capable and beautiful wireless gaming headset.

Internal upgrades have let Razer shave off precious millimeters in earcup depth and width, which absolutely add up.

It doesn’t just look good, though the Kraken V4 is also very comfortable to wear.

Audio-wise, the Razer Kraken V4 sounds almost identical to most other high-end Razer headsets.

That is to say, it sounds really good, but it’s not industry-leading.

Speaking of connectivity, I have seen some reports from consumers encountering Bluetooth stability issues with the Kraken V4.

I love the more refined RGB lighting on the Kraken V4, and it helps that the headset is good in basically every other category, too.

This headsetfeelslike a premium, high-quality product, and it’s comfortable and attractive to boot.

As an aside, I also want to complain about the lack of Xbox support.

It goes toe-to-toe with the best in the sub-$200 range and often compares very favorably.

The Kraken V4 doesn’t break the mold for Razer headsets in terms of audio quality, but it at least matches what we’ve come to expect from the company’s finest.

You really like RGB lighting

You had to suspect this one was coming.

Just know that you honestly can’t go wrong with a lot of these options.

Those are available in black and pink for$19.99 at Razer, and I love them.

I wish this headset supported Xbox, and I can’t help but notice that this mic just isn’t as good (or as seamless to set up) as the BlackShark V2 line.

Too bad they don’t glow, though.

It helps if you love the RGB lighting, too.

There are a lot of great wireless gaming headsets in this price range, but you can’t go wrong with the Razer Kraken V4.
