Our take on the Razer Kraken V2

The Razer Kraken V2 is a wired over-ear gaming headset with virtual surround sound and a retractable boom microphone. It uses 32-ohm drivers and thick cooling-gel ear cushions, so it runs loud enough from a phone or controller without an amp. Reviewers like the sound and the comfort for long sessions, but durability is the recurring complaint: headband leather peels and some units fail within months. It competes with headsets like the HyperX Cloud II and SteelSeries Arctis on comfort and price, but those rivals have a better long-term reliability record.

Questions and answers

Is the Kraken V2 good for gaming?
Yes for sound and comfort. Virtual surround helps with positional audio, and the boom mic handles chat. Durability is the main risk, so treat it gently.
Does it work with PS5 and Xbox?
Yes through the 3.5 mm plug on the controller. Surround needs the USB adapter on PC; consoles get stereo over the jack.
How is the microphone?
It is retractable with inline mute, and most buyers find it usable. A minority report it cutting out or garbling, so test it during the return window.
Is it comfortable with glasses?
Generally yes. The soft cooling-gel cushions spread pressure, and most glasses wearers report no pinching after long sessions.
How does it compare with the Kraken V3?
The V3 adds USB-C, a better mic and sturdier materials. The V2 is simpler and lighter, but the V3 fixes the durability complaints.
What is in the box?
The headset, a 3.5 mm combo cable and a USB surround adapter. No carry pouch is included.
