Description

The Razer Kraken Tournament Edition is more than just a headset; it’s a tool for competition. As the first gaming headset to feature THX Spatial Audio, it delivers industry-leading audio depth. This technology simulates a 360° soundscape, allowing gamers to pinpoint the precise location of enemies, gunfire, and other vital sounds with a level of accuracy that provides a crucial advantage in esports. The audio is not just limited to 7.1 channels but is reproduced in a lifelike, spherical space.

Razer’s custom-tuned 50 mm neodymium drivers provide powerful and clear sound, capturing everything from subtle footsteps to massive explosions. A standout feature is the included USB audio controller, which provides extensive on-the-fly control options, including Game/Chat Balance, a 17-level bass control, and THX Spatial Audio activation. This allows players to fine-tune their audio settings instantly without interrupting the game.

Comfort is paramount during long gaming sessions. The Kraken Tournament Edition features oval ear cushions infused with cooling gel to reduce heat build-up. A combination of soft cloth and leatherette provides a comfortable fit and effective sound isolation. The adjustable aluminum frame is lightweight and durable, and paired with the hidden indented channels for glasses, it ensures a pressure-free fit. The retractable, unidirectional microphone allows for crystal-clear communication with the team and can be easily stowed away when not in use.

With its cross-platform compatibility via the 3.5 mm jack and USB controller for PC and PS4, this headset is a versatile companion for any gamer who values precise audio, complete control, and maximum comfort.
