Is the Kraken Kitty V2 worth it over the original Kraken Kitty?

The V2 is lighter and slimmer, with bigger ears and the same Chroma lighting. If you already own the original, the upgrade is mostly comfort and looks rather than sound.

Does the lighting work without a PC?

Cosplay mode keeps your last saved lighting setting running when you plug the headset into a power bank. Full customization and stream-reactive effects need Razer's software on a PC.

No. It is a wired headset, so plan on a cable to your PC or controller.

Can I use it for streaming on Twitch?

Yes. The mic handles voice chat, and Chroma can respond to emotes and alerts through Razer's streaming integration.

Does it work with consoles?

The headset connects through its wired audio plug, so it works for game audio on consoles, but the RGB and Chroma features are PC-focused.

Our take on the Razer Kraken Kitty Over-Ear Headset

The Razer Kraken Kitty V2 is a wired over-ear gaming headset built around its RGB kitty ears and earcup lighting, which sync with Razer Chroma and react to stream events like emotes and alerts. It uses a boom mic for voice chat and a cosplay mode that keeps your saved lighting running from a power bank away from the desk. It suits streamers and gamers who want the look and the lighting control more than neutral sound. Against plain headsets in the same range it trades audio refinement for showmanship, and owners rate it solidly rather than highly.
