Razer Kraken 7.1 V2: unboxing and analysis

Once again Razer is once again betting on a very attractive presentation that shows the high quality of all its products. Helmets arrive in a cardboard box in which the company's corporate colors predominate, that is, black and green in a very characteristic combination that is extremely easy to recognize and identify with the signature. The product can be seen to see if we open the cover in the form of a book and we find a statement from the manufacturer in which they congratulate us on the purchase. On the back and on the sides we have all the characteristics of the product very detailed in English and its complete specifications.

We arrived at the Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 and we realized that we are facing helmets with a very attractive design and denoting enormous quality, we found headphones with a design that looks very robust with a weight that amounts to 346 grams. Razer has used a combination of metal and plastic to achieve a very robust product without excessive weight, a success.

Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 has been designed with the comfort of the player or music lover in mind and has included details that help long sessions. The headband is covered in leather and features the Razer logo, on the inside there is a soft pad for greater comfort when using them for many hours. We continue to see the characteristics of the headband and it is that it has a breathable fabric finish to reduce sweating, something that will be very appreciated in summer if you live in a very hot area. The headband includes a height adjustment system to perfectly fit the head of all users and thus offer an excellent and very comfortable experience.

The headphone area looks quite attractive with a design based on micro-perforations in metal, in the center is the Raze logo that forms the highly customizable Chroma lighting system. We find ourselves with 50 mm neodymium diaphragms that offer us a 7.1 surround sound of great precision, these diaphragms are accompanied by the powerful Razer Surround motor to offer sound of unsurpassed quality and that gamers feel life on the battlefield.

Finally we look at the pads and we find a synthetic leather finish that looks very high quality, they are soft and very fluffy and once we put the helmets on we realize that they are really comfortable and we will not tire of them easily.

The omnidirectional microphone has a retractable design so it will not bother us at all when we are not using it. It is flexible and we can adjust it to the desired distance from the mouth to improve the quality of audio reception. Its frequency range is 100 to 12, 000 Hz and its signal-to-noise ratio of -55 dB (SNR). The retractable design seems to us a success since we avoid that it can be lost as it happens with the detachable microphones.

We do not forget the 2 meter long USB connection cable and which includes a gold plated connector to improve durability and offer better contact.

The chroma effect looks great in Razer Kraken 7.1 v2. Great job!

Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 Software

The Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 are compatible with the Razer Synapse application that will be essential if we want to take full advantage of these great hi-fi helmets. Its installation is as simple as accessing the Razer website, downloading and installing it without any complications.

Once the application is open, it will ask us to update the product firmware, which we always recommend, even if it takes a few minutes (the process is all automatic). The only important thing is not to disconnect it during the process. If you do it later, you can do it from the application itself.

Once we open the software, we do not find various sections to manage our helmets and to take full advantage of it. The first section consists of calibrating the headphones and their virtual 7.1 sound system. Here what we can adjust is from where we want the impression that the sound is coming from.

We go to the audio section and we find the possibility of adjusting the volume, bass boost, sound normalization and various adjustments related to the quality of the voice. When we enter the MICI section it allows us to adjust the microphone. We can also adjust the volume, sensitivity, reduction of ambient noise and normalization of the audio. Finally we come to the last sections where we can control the mixer, the equalizer and the lighting system.
