Which is better for PC gaming?

Both work on PC. The Kraken X adds virtual 7.1 surround through Razer's software, while the G321's advantage is going wireless. Pick surround if you play shooters, wireless if the cable bothers you.

Which lasts longer on a charge?

Only the G321 has a battery, so it is the only one that runs down. The Kraken X draws power from the cable and never needs charging.

Is the G321 worth the extra money?

Only if wireless matters to you. If you play at a desk and don't mind a cable, the Kraken X does the core job for far less.

The Kraken X. At roughly 250 g it is one of the lightest gaming headsets, and the G321 carries a battery and wireless hardware.

Does the Kraken X work with consoles?

Yes, its 3.5mm connection works with PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC. The G321's Bluetooth suits phones and laptops more than consoles.

Which has better sound?

Neither is audiophile-grade. The Kraken X offers virtual surround for positional cues; the G321's appeal is convenience, not audio quality.
