Good review! I'm glad you mentioned Haptics in the comment section, and grats on being the first and only review for V3 Pro's. I just got my V3 Hypersense Pro's (wireless) in today. I have the regular (wired) V3 Hypersense as well (trying them all out). I have experienced crackling/popping as reported in Amazon reviews for the V3 (wired) but I have zero issues with the V3 Pro's (wireless) so far. No static, no popping, or crackling. I can say with certainty the V3 Hypersense (wired) are getting returned. The stronger speculation right now is that the V3 Hypersense (wired) is having these issues because of the decision to use USB as their power and audio source. I tried hours of troubleshooting, posting on reddit, enabling/disabling/uninstalling, Razer forums, and contacted support, still no fix. Side note: Somehow I feel like these V3 Pro's sound even better. I'm not sure how they managed but I'm guessing because the power source is from the batteries directly in the headphones and not through USB, somehow they have more power to them. Bass is deeper, and the vocals are seemingly more clear - although the wired V3's were already great sounding if you ignore the popping and crackling. Cheers *Couple things that might help with settings/audio* - For bass, I wouldn't turn on bass boost or any enhancements, they sound terrible personally. Instead, bump up 30hz and 60hz on the EQ a few notches to your liking. Just keep in mind this sacrifices some vocal clarity if set too high. My 30hz is set at 4, and my 60hz is set at 3 (still testing). - Make sure "Spatial Audio" is either OFF, or set to "Manual". In manual, set "Spatial Output" for "other/video/music Applications" to Stereo. Games can be left at Game Mode. Doing this has helped a lot of people get better quality sound for music etc., on the V3 Hypersense (wired) as well. - I only installed Synapse. Some of the other programs are said to cause issues with audio quality, etc. on certain headphones. This varies a lot per-person, so you don't have to take my word for it.
I will definitely try this out! Thanks for the comment I kept trying to increase boost and I'm not an expert so I don't know how to do that other than the setting for bass boost, really appreciate the time you've put into this and I can't wait to try it out!
Big thing for me right now is crackling and I’m told my mic cuts out quite a bit.. if there is any recommendations for settings then I am all ears. I love the headsets, but this is extremely frustrating.
@@jaytee1443 The crackling happened to me later on. I actually had to get Razer to replace them. They're perfect now but it's disappointing that their quality assurance seems to not exist. It's the biggest issue I'm reading in reviews with these headphones. I tried literally everything to fix them. This makes future purchases from Razer very questionable for me. Cheers
This is exactly what I was looking for. Especially comparing against nari ultimates. I love my naris but they are so fragile. This is looking like my new baby. Ty for sharing :)
Nice job getting a review out fast! Really glad to hear about the improved range & connectivity, because that was the one thing that I was worred about purchasing a wired headset for the first time. Really nice review, I'll be sure to some other ones out if you make them! :)
I ordered my v3 Pro on the 21st and they made it here on the 24th. Was amazed how fast they made it here, apparently coming from Hong Kong? But yea, I'm also coming from the Nari Ultimate and what I really miss is the chat mix and swivel cups. The haptics are definitely better, and the wireless connection is also better. The only issue I had was they were too quiet for my liking, so I turned everything up in the EQ settings.
awesome! so glad to hear I got people to share with haha! yeah another thing that really annoys me is having this sieren v2 pro I swapped off using my virtual audio cables now i'm using this software so i'm just really trying to get used to all this new stuff and how to work with sound now. best of luck with the headset and I hope you enjoy it!
In order to fix the crackling, you have to set your computer volume to 100% and your headset volume to 100% (right slider), then use the left slider to adjust volume. Had replaced the Nari Ultimate and still had the crackling, fixed the problem myself after all of it.
The problem with crackle and customer-facing is that crackle is harder to determine when it comes to manufacturing. People can hear different frequency ranges, which normally lessens with age.
Thanks for watching! hopefully it was helpful, if you have any other questions let me know :) I feel like I didn't do the best job explaining everything haha
@@ZathrosTech it's the best video about kraken v3 pro, because it's the only one ;) But for real, you did a really good job. Nice camera positions and editing. Feels like you should have a lot more views.
Nice review. I'm upgrading all my rig, and I wanted a new headset and I am very, very close to buying the Naris, but the microUSB thing just keeps me off. I'm really hoping they get a V2 or something with type C.
My Naris broke down recently. Problem with dongle. Razer offered me as a replacement Krakens v3 instead of these and idk if i should be happy or not :/
That's good they actually replaced them, after using them for so long I definitely don't have a problem with them and haven't had any disconnecting issues so hopefully it goes the same with you!
Does the kraken come with the cooling pads like the Nari? Nice video btw, and agree the detachable mic is awful, that was better in the Nari. I love the type-C upgrade and better battery tho.
So is the difference in bass that big of a difference? I have a vr headset and am looking for intensity for better immersion so that’s my real decision maker between the two.
The brand brand new razer kaira pro (ps5) are the best. Just released December 2021. They have RGB and haptic. But smart haptic for games so you can tell where it coming from (on low) and for music with bt well they bump!!! Took the place of my beats studio 3
Hi there, how good is it? Any further comments? Really plan on getting THE best wireless headset for my PS5 right now since I already have a headset for my PC.
@@MSCC5 I really love the thing. It’s my all around headset now. I use em to game and I use them on bt for music and movies ect. I have gotten more kills in Warzone not because my shot was off but because I can hear better to pinpoint people that I wouldn’t have heard before. They are immersive with or without the haptic on but I do prefer it on low for everything all around, they work while charging and charge fast
@@mastervz4806 imo ok. You can tell its bass. But with the haptic on low its like turning on a subwoofer. Haptic off as I said they are good. I like them overall. But hey who am I lol. Stay safe.
@@miked6097 thank you! I’m just going to get the Sony xm5s and Bluetooth them to the ps5. These gaming headsets are always hit and miss. I’ll just use the mic provided on the controller. Lol
The game sound voice thing took me so long how to fix I got the kraken v3 pro and gave the ultimate to my little sister she lucky because I buy a lot of gaming shit and give her my old stuff but I get new things every year 😅😅
The wireless interface on these Xbox headphones has become a real problem of mine. I also run into the crackle issue and complete disconnect issue. Tried steel series X9’s and they also do the same thing you’ve expressed. SMH.
oh are you running into the disconnecting issue with these kraken v3 pro's? if so I have not yet run into that issue only with other razer wireless headsets, i'm sorry you're having problems it's so annoying having that issue especially when you buy a whole new headset thinking it'll be fixed but it just does the same thing, I wish I knew the problem I'm just glad I don't have that with these current ones
@@ZathrosTech Thank you for the comment. And I have yet to try and Razer headphones yet. But I will look into them as I’m looking for something with the comfort of the steel series I previously had.
This is been out for a year plus but i found it searching for battery replacement videos, one thing i can say the mics suck use the headset but use an external mic period. Youl thank me later. anyway not what i wanted to write, i bought the razer nari ultimate years ago and my biggest gripe with it was the battery, i always hated how short it would last with haptic and LED on. Turning the LEDs off gave a bit more life but still the haptic part just sucks the battery dry... Lately been having an issue with recharging, so i decided to search for a video online maybe someone attempted to change the batteries on this thing. Low and behold someone did, they went from a 1200mah to 3500mah and the battery lasts for ever. But the main guy also changed the charging to USB C and omg this is the best thing ever. So i learned how to solder just so i can do this two, now i can walk with this thing 3 floors down and still hear music its amazing. Batteries last also up to 14h+ with haptic and LED but i leave LED off anyway its not like i have a mirror where i can look at them... But yeah, i will be doing the same to the Kraken V3. I love the haptic for my cellphone on the go but honestly, i cant understand why they use cheap batteries cgange them asap if you can it a blessing.
So far I charged it last night and then walked out and it was unplugged on the floor cuz the cats are stupid LOL, anyways, I've had it on for the past 6 hours, not constantly playing stuff but for the most part I have been, Lighting is at 15, volume 100%, haptic intensity on med, bass boost 60, thx spatial audio, and music eq, i don't know how much those all affect the battery percentage BUT it's still at a good 75% battery I think with this weird battery indicator. So it's actually been pretty good! the first night I had it I thought it dropped pretty fast but it might've just been since it was already around 50% out of the box, from 100% I think it'll last you a good while or for me a full 2 to 3 days of playing!
what settings in the EQ adjuster do you preset for fps games as well as more low tone League style games, i havent messed too much with the settings because im on my broken nari ultimates and soon receiving these ones
It took me a minute to get used to the sound difference but having 30hz up to about 10 and 60hz a little lower then 120hz a little lower than that, keep the middles around 0 and then 2khz gradually going up to having 16k at 6 was the best I found personally, definitely make sure ur bass boost is turned off aswellas sound norm those fuck with the sound
Did these sound bad out of the box to you? I got these as an upgrade to my Kraken Tournament Editions but the audio quality compared to those just sounds muffled and bad overall when I see reviews saying they sound very good.
Have you experienced some wierd probelms with the hapticts? My haptics worked fine then i turned them off later the day i got them i tried again and it vibrates but it makes a wierds buzzing/shocking noice everytime it vibrates? Also the razer synapse program is showing that the headset have 0% battery but in the menu it sais more than 50%
You could try to contact support and they'll hopefully give you some software that'll reinstall the drivers, I'm not sure 100% if that'd be something to just rma or if it's fixed through software, but u should definitely rka and get a new one
@@ZathrosTech I looked up many things, i uninstalled everything with razer and the drivers of the headset, now they are working fine. This is my first wireless headsett so i think i move with caution to whatever im doing. But a bit strange.
@@remes9428 oh sweet okay, yeah maybe it was just an error that hopefully is fixed now that u reinstalled them! Best of luck with the future of ur headset!
@@ZathrosTech ahahah funny enough i saw that my razer deathadder v2 pro needed an driver update so i updated it by the razer link on their website and now it wont Connect to synapse and my headsett doesnt want to Connect with synapse either and the headset does not make the sounds form the output even though its connected i only hear myself because of the settings i put before
@@remes9428 oh wow that's so weird, I'm sorry youre having this problem :/ I wsh I could help you but I've never had that I feel like with gaming stuff it's always 50/50 whether people have big issues with stuff or not
Ia the Nari still your go to? I'm currently looking for a wireless headset to replace my Creative sxfi gamer headset and I must say the bass is really really good and the volume level is really loud too. Ive gone through 5 headsets that can't match the bass and volume. Recently these JBL 810 have been the closest just wish they were a tad louder.
I personally am using these kraken v3 pros still and have gotten really used to them, I'd say the naris definitely have more bass but after using these for so long now I do enjoy them better
I don't use sidetone but there is a slider for it to let you put it wherever you'd like, I'm not sure if this is just me being dumb but it seems like it only works with the mic on the headset? It's not giving me sidetone for my actual mic which is strange
@@ZathrosTech yea u need that mic plugged in. That’s why I sold my shure SM7B because I need to hear myself. I actually bought the wired version and sidetone is loud and clear but on the blacksharks it’s muffled. Also how is your battery life?
@@wintersoldier4269 it's good, probably last about 3 days of use the way I use it, 1 full day of hardcore gaming from my younger days LOL, but one problem is that the sleep timer thing doesn't work, i set it to turn off after 15 minutes but it doesn't, battery life has still been good but would be nice if I could get it to turn off for times I forget to and go afk
@@ZathrosTech nice mine coming soon! Thanks for the reply. And yea even if it’s one day it’s worth it.. I bought the wired version to test it out and I love it … that’s when I ordered wireless.. I’ve heard wireless sounds better idk if it’s cause they turned it a little different or not
@@wintersoldier4269 oh yeah I haven't heard anything about sound quality between wired and wireless but that's crazy if the wireless is better, it's good cuz I don't think I'll ever go with a wired headset again
I had a nari ultimate for a little over a year and the right speaker died. RIP but I used it a lot, now i've had the blackshark v2 pro for almost a year and the right speaker is having problems, am sending it back for RMA now but I really do love the blackshark v2 pro so if I can get another year out of this rma it'll be worth it for me.
Oh wow that's unlucky to have happen twice, out of my many years of owning razer headsets I've never had a problem with the audio going out like that, only connecting issues and battery's not lasting too long
Yes! Sorry I didnt go over that in the video, the haptics are a lot better and also better to use with that haptics button, it's a little weird only having 3 settings to choose from but they feel better and are super subtle compared to the nari, so way nicer
@@TheReal_N-I-F-F yeah my bad, I am definitely thinking through my next review a lot better than I did with this one, the haptics aren't super crazy of a feature since I had gotten used to them the past while with the nari so it kinda slipped my mind
I replaced my old logitech wireless headset with the Blackshark V2 Pros, and love the wireless performance besides the mic quality. Have to walk to the kitchen until it cuts out. Sucks yours didn't wanna work. :c But I prefer the heft, deeper cups and leatherette cushions of my listening headphones and might pass the Blackshark to my brother who needs a headset. If you recall the quality of them, do the larger drivers and overall feel justify an upgrade to the Kraken?
the blackshark isn't bad at all, I really liked the fit and the sound quality was similar, my main issue was just the wireless connection would cutout a lot and also the earcups would take an extra 2 seconds to adjust to sit on my head properly, they did feel nice, way lighter than what i was used to so i had to try to get used to it but at the point of it cutting out the same as the nari I gave up and just stuck with what I felt was more comfortable. These krakens are similar to the weight and feel but it completely fixes that wireless problem I had so i'm fine with that. if you want to spend the extra $60-$80 to sell those and buy the krakens, the main upgrade for you would be I'd say a slightly larger cup, few more features, better mic, and haptic feedback which is pretty good on this headset compared to the nari
I’ll have to find a friend who has krakens to see how they fit my head then. I have the same fitment issues with the blacksharks. They’re super adjustable and comfy but I think I prefer more rigid headphones so I’m fiddling less. Thanks for the reply!
I see a lot of people talkign about issues related to crackling with Nari Ultimates, this can usually be attributed to having the headphones plugged in during use
My headphones weren't plugged in while I would get the crackling issue, whatever it was I've not had the problem with this new kraken v3 so i'm happy about that, as much as I love the naris :(
Also I just got Razer Kraken V3 Hypersense and the THX Spatial Audio is so muffled. I just use the normal Razer Kraken audio output because that way is not muffled
Hi! Im about the purchase this model Kraken V3 Pro but I got concern after watched review videos. People complain some issues like turn off suddenly or RGB is not working properly. Have you experienced such issue - Is this issue still persist? or Razer updated somehow? I would appriciate any comments, thanks!
The only issue I experience is sometimes the haptics will have a weird sound and you need to turn it off and back on to fix, it's kinda rare tho but I've never had problems with it turning off randomly, but I also turn my rgb off fully to save on battery life too
@@ZathrosTech Thanks for the answer! I heard that when you switch TH-cam videos or change to browser tab, sound is gone. That's why I wanted to ask if you or anyone from your followers had/having similar issue as well.
@@semihyolcu6572 I have not :( I'm sorry I can't be of more help, I surprisingly got really lucky with this headset, it's the first razer headset that I've had little to no issues with and I've had it since release still goin strong, also nobody ever wants to have to return and get replacements but if yours does end up with issues you can do that and hopefully it works out! Best of luck :)
Hey thanks for the review. I just received these and have them charging. It says yellow is charging and green is charged. I don't know about you, but i'm having a hard time telling if the blinking light is yellow or green. I did notice that after charging them for awhile the charging indicator light turns completely off, does that mean it's fullly charged? Any help you can give will be appreciated, thanks.
I noticed the light blinks a slow yellow when charging and then is straight up green when charged, I might accidentally overcharge things so I'm gonna try to not charge it as much and let it die but so far I haven't so I'm not sure if there's a red light when low like on the nari, I can try to pay attention more to let u kno but for me myn was on when charged
Have you used both the 3.5 mm connection and wireless? If I use the 3.5 mm connection I always have the haptic on pc and ps5. I noticed that when I tried using it wireless on pc I get no haptic. I have tried changing devices in sound settings and nothing. If I do get the haptic wireless it doesn't seem as strong as with the 3.5 mm connection. Any help I'd appreciate. Thanks!
@@demonology1013 that's strange, ik that when's its charging it won't give u any haptics to make it charge faster but have u also tried messing with the haptics button or maybe your volume isn't as loud on your pc making it not detect enough to give you those haptics
I got the Razer Nari ultimate, and right out of the box, I noticed the right earcup is louder than the left, especially at lower volumes, maxed out volume on the wheel makes it less noticable, but it's still there, and I can't find a fix for it. I saw one person had the same problem and they returned the headset for another, and had the same issue. Also the quality of my friends voices in discord is just terrible, compared to my old headset which is a kraken. The kraken sound quality is just unmatched, but it has absolutely no bass, I want a headset with the same physical design of the nari or kraken, and sound quality of the kraken but with haptics.
I bought it from the razer website, which is why I was so surprised I got it so early, it said pre order and that they'd ship on the 24th and normally I'd have bad luck with Ups but I got lucky I guess and got it on the 24th
@@ZathrosTechThe audio quality for music is mm so good. But I notice whenever Bass in beats hits, its like a very sharp cling sound inside the headset. There is more but I wonder do you have a discord for your channel? Love to discuss more about the headset.
@@selfproclaimdgod8800 I do have a discord it's more for my gaming/streaming, I haven't really heard any weird sounds other than from it charging, which is steange there'd be sounds while it's charging but idk, after turning down the overall headset volume on windows and turning up the wheel on the headset I thimk it sounds a little better as well
@@giovannigrillone1601 I believe it should work but it might be a little bit difficult to get synapse working from what I've heard in the past. If I had a mac to test it out on I would but sadly I think you'd have to wait for someone to test that out
I'm not 100% sure if you can store profiles on it, Ik that if you connect it to your ps5 you could definitely mess with sound levels and the haptic intensity using the buttons, but idk if it will keep your eq settings sadly. it potentially could I just don't own a ps5 to check :(
It seems like using it with the aux will keep all of the features, it could just be that since it's charging it disables everything to charge faster! Which is okay thinking about it
I currently have the Steel Series Siberia 800 Wireless Headphones. Do you feel that the Razer Kraken V3 Pro's would out perform my current headset and also is there a headphone jack on the headphones?
I got the Razer Kraken V3 Hypersense but my ears get way to hot from it. Still debating if the Nari will be better to have for audio and the Hypersense over the Kraken V3 Hypersense. I have notice popping from the USB cable version so far. May return it and grab the Nari instead but I am not sure doing research to see if this is normal or not. Also when I turn on the computer this morning no audio was routing to the headset. I made sure the PC had the headset as the default audio source and nothing. I needed to unplug it and re-plug it back just to get audio. No Thank You!
Unless youve used the nari from my experience the cooling material on the ear cups seems to be the same and do a decent job for me to cool my ears, I'm not sure about the other problems the only issue I've had was the haptics sounding really weird like something got messed up by dropping the headset but it fixed when I turned it off and back on and haven't had a problem since
@@ZathrosTech I see, do both of those perform about the same? I heard the V3 Hypersense have a much better sound stage. Maybe I should re-install my Razer software and re-test them again today.
@@ITAngel at first it was weird and I thought the kraken had worse audio but I'd say they perform about the same, the better thing about would be the haptics seem a lot nicer, even though u don't have that slider u just have 3 options it still is better, then you also have the mic quality being better on the krakens but the main audio after messing with eq, it's somewhat similar if not better, the one thing I miss it how much more comfortable the nari was because it was big and just sat on your head, at the same time you can probably shake your head more with the krakens without them falling off
@@ITAngel thank you for taking the time to watch! One thing I'd recommend for eq is to increase the first 4 collums, 30hz to 250hz up, for 30 I have it at 8, 60 is at 7, 120 is at 4, 250 is at 2 and the rest are 0, but then again if you need to make it sound better for yourself those are just my preferences
Be lucky you have a mic. I have a 2017 razer blade laptop with razer kraken x headset and mic. It's now 2022 and I STILL cannot get the mic to work. The laptop doesn't even acknowledge an audio device is even connected. I got it working for about 10 min, after that nothing.
aw man i'm sorry that's the most frustrating thing, my synapse has been going through some shit the past few days and made it a little difficult to do stuff on my pc, I feel like it's just the software but idek at this point
I have the same problem with my ears touching the inside of the ear cups. Do you know of any headsets that don't do that I am upgrading from Kraken v2 that had the room I needed thanks in advance
I havent had as much of an issue anymore and definitely is still comfortable to wear over time, I'm not really too sure about other headsets to look into at the moment other than the new arctis pro
So my biggest thing is the haptics just like the nari ultimate's? and the bass was my other concern. Is there just like less* bass? or is it like worse? Because I rly like the new rgb and look, but if the sound just isn't the same idk. But I heard the v3 headsets sound better and have better sound in general than the ultimate's and kraken pro v2. Please Respond!
the haptics are better than the nari's, the bass I don't think is as good or sounds as natural without tweaking audio, after messing with sound awhile and seeing other peoples comments on how to fix it i noticed changing the eq to have higher 30hz 60hz 120hz and 250hz is the way to go and it sounds pretty good now. myn are pretty high because i like my deep sounds but it's all personal preference at that point.
@@harleypippenger3255 if you don't have a connectivity problem with the naris I say keep the naris, it was a viable upgrade for me because my naris would disconnect constantly and these krakens fix that issue with the new dongle. both are good but too similar to justify a $200 purchase if you don't have problems with your current headset
Thank you! I might in the future, I have the gen 1's and I wanted to grab those but I had gotten galaxy buds so maybe if i'm in need of new earbuds I can compare them all! Thanks for the idea!
what im confused about is they boast on there website that the nari ultimate and the kraken v3 pro have the same triforce drivers/speakers, if thats true then how do they sound different besides having different software and earcups?
I believe the way the cups of the speakers were built affects the quality as well, the naris were much larger and heavier and the krakens are small and light which probably affects the sound is my understanding, I'm not an expert on this stuff though
Hey Zathros, I have a question hopefully you can answer since it’s been at least 9 days of you using the headset. I’ve heard that the haptic feedback is very overpowering and not really worth the extra money since you don’t want it on all the time. I don’t know what kind of games you play, but for the competition pvp ( such as apex legends lol ) do you think it would give an “advantage” or would it be useless and to overpowering to focus? Please let me know ASAP thank you and overall good review!👍🏼👏🏼
The past week I've only been playing minecraft and forza horizon 5, I will test out apex or pubg real quick and reply, I have my haptics on medium setting and they are perfectly fine! Not overpowering at all
Yeah with apex it didn't seem to matter too much, it also depends on your volume of the game that determines how the haptics are too, It was nice cuz I could feel the weapons shoot but it didn't give any sort of advantage I'd say
I've used a Nari Ultimate for some time before getting rid of it for noise cancelling normal headphones. How do the haptics on the Kraken compare to the Nari?
They are a lot better in my opinion, the problem is that u only have 3 options for level of feedback but it doesn't really matter too much it just feels different though idk how to explain it properly just a lot more refined
I don't have that headset so I can't judge for myself but I can also tell you that without fine tuning the eq settings in the software the kraken doesn't sound good right out of the box, I'm not sure how that interferes with ps5 if u can plug it into a pc to mess with settings and then swap it over? If u can't I'd recommend getting the headset thats made specifically for the ps5 as they'll probably take that into account
Here is a quote from an amazon review for the Kraken V3 Hypersense "constant static noise and humming sounds at low volume or quiet scenes when watching movies. Watching YT videos click play and press stop you'll hear audible electronic static noise whispers." I've gone through 2 V3 Hypersense headsets and they both had this issue, have you noticed anything like this on the Kraken V3 Pro?
I have not, I did actually noticed something while the headset was plugged in and charging that u can subtly hear something really quietly but other than that I've had the headset on with nothing playing and haven't heard a thing
I just got my V3 Hypersense Pro's (wireless) in today. I have the regular (wired) V3 Hypersense as well (trying them all out). I have experienced the exact same issues on the V3 (wired) but I have zero issues with the V3 Pro's (wireless) so far, no static, no popping or crackling. I can say with certainty the V3 Hypersense (wired) are getting returned. The stronger speculation right now is that the V3 Hypersense (wired) is having these issues because of the decision to use USB as their power and audio source. I tried hours of troubleshooting, posting on reddit, Razer forums, disabling/enabling/uninstalling, and contacted support, still no fix. Side note, somehow I feel like these V3 Pro's sound even better. I'm not sure how they managed but I'm guessing because the power source is from the batteries directly in the headphones and not through USB, somehow they have more power to them, bass is deeper, and the vocals are seemingly more clear - though the wired V3's were already great sounding if you ignore the popping and crackling. Going to post this reply to the main comment section for others to be aware of. Cheers
@@willfullyinformed thanks for your input! I really wanted to test them out between the wired too but I wasn't gonna buy both, plus I am mainly gonna go with wireless headsets from now on now that I know it was just the nari and blackshark that gave me connectivity problems with my pc
Basically but I think there are some subtle changes that make the wireless different, ik the main difference is the mic in wireless is super cardioid vs the wired being just cardioid
Yes it can be used wired I personally don't like wired headsets but I'm pretty sure they work really well, it comes with a jack for it the nari did as well
@@ZathrosTech not against wireless or anything. I'm still on the original Kraken 7.1 (USB) and am used to having a cable and not having to charge my headset, but I hope to upgrade it since its starting to make weird noises after almost 10 years haha. Hope the Kraken v3 Pro will be an upgrade in audio and mic (and of course the amazing haptics). I just don't know all that much about headsets as I never NEEDED to upgrade, but always heard the Kraken 7.1 (USB) had an amazing mic, so I wonder is the newer one Kraken v3 Pro (which isn't digital, but analog instead) might be a downgrade in mic quality. (Never had an analog headset, but heard it makes a difference for mic/audio quality compared to digital).
@@-SpiderNoob- I personally think the new mic quality is pretty good but that is also from comparing it to my nari, it'd be super helpful for u if u want to walk around ur house, the sound quality would hopefully be better I think the cushions will also be a super big plus for u, overall I think it's a better upgrade from the original kraken 7.1 but I can't remember too much from it to know how different the quality is in audio, I used to use them a long time ago as well and I liked them
As long as you've made sure to go into both sound settings and also make sure the wheel on the headset is all the way up as well as desktop audio then I'm not quite sure, it could be a audio driver thing or a defective headset.
@@donbest8981 u could possibly Check ur eq, also if u have thx active you can make sure that's up on ur sound settings as well if u don't wanna deal with thx just turn it off
@@donbest8981 hmmm yeah I'm sorry I guess you could just mess around more and see if there's anything, good luck! I'm sure if nothing works youd be able to get a refund
Honestly love the base the nari has over the kraken and I loved the other nob the nari had that let me adjust the game and voice chat seperate if I needed to turn people down or up super fast it's the main reason I got a refurbished one when I broke mine and will keep doing so till another one has that feature. The mic I hated when recording id hear the game audio that was in my headphones picking up in the mic that's the one thing I hated and it sounded worse then the old original kraken I had.
True! I saw the arctis pro did that and I thought it was the coolest thing ever, such a clever design and makes me really wish razer would do something similar
not that i've experienced, it definitely did a better job at background noise than the nari ultimate did! but obviously not as good as my current standalone mic but I use the beacn mic now which is like $300 or somethin
No they don't, but they do make a weird sound when charging if you're not playing anything through them, but I might need to test that again since I only noticed that once
i had razer kraken pro V2 outdated and no longer supported version cause it was dedicated to synapse 2 probably the best headset i had and it survived for almost 3 years of use but there was 2 critical issues that nailed to its coffin the first critical problem was discontinued software a windows update somehow managed to ruin surround sound without it it wont even be able to change equalizer cause i discovered im a V shape type i tried arctis 3 and it was 25% worse then unequalized kraken and default kraken sounded kinda bad now i have hyperX cloud alpha instead of beyerdynamics DT770 pro 80ohms and it sounds not the same but better then both to fix arctis 3 i had to use third party equalizer and it kinda worked but equalizer or surround sound has a problem the recording software picks the sound effect and it stacks the EQs literally so the audio sounded different then what im hearing from real time gameplay and listening to replay of a recording that is something to be very ware of that no one speaks about its common problem with small creators they play a game but dont do audio tests to see if its exact the same as if they were not recording anything as for arctis 3 a 4/10 in sound kraken pro V2 default sound was 5.5/10 as for alphas they are solid 7/10 and i havent tried anything better yet but i know they are not perfect razer electra V2 were the worst razer headset i ever had since i only had 2 headset from that brand the comfort was deal breaker it physically scratched my ears who ever designed it they deserve to have the headset they designed glued to their heads as for kraken V2 the comfort was on another level steelseries are clones and their comfort is acceptable but the grip is weak and can fall if you look down rapidly kraken kinda slipped but had more grip alphas has more grip so yeah for me audio quality is top priority comfort is second and you want durability to last it as long as possible edit: oh and if you plan to make higher quality videos adjust better lighting and bit rate but for a average micro channel you already put more effort then most would
Thank you! I'm definitely working on making every new video better I'm just in a weird spot right now, I found that my audio quality got way better when I turned off the basic bass boost and all that and messed with the eq a lot more now it sounds great but also I'm not the best at determining sound quality so if I'd want to review more headsets I guess that's what I'd have to learn more about, I did want to try the arctis pros but that was if themis headset didn't work out and so far it's been good so I guess I won't try them out anytime soon
@@ZathrosTech yeah the audio issues you notice it at late stage of editing so thats what short tests is for to see if everything runs smoothly if theres no lag if theres no loss in sound or visual quality as for content being a tech channel gonna be very hard even harder then gaming channels or game review channels cause games you already played you know what content you can make out of them and games content can still be reused from different style and perspective tech channels gonna be depending on products and it gonna be costly till it pays off i know one laptop reviewer started with idk 75K subs and managed to be successful i on the other hand still hold back cause i experiment or think my content is so bad its just waste of time so youre much better off to completely ignore analytics and just make content the way you want to skills usually grow on its own how fast you learn depends on how efficient you are at making production value it can be something very cheap and simple as just changing lighting or post process but it also depending on equipment to not blow the budget as for bitrate you already have VP09 instead of worst compression so thats good sight for 1080p res usually people either upscale to 1440p to force youtubes compression to make vp09 codec as for bit rate 32K should be balanced in theory and 60K bit rate as for high quality 84K bit rate maximum but the higher the bit rate the more storage and performance you gonna need and might lag the editing software it something you have to optimize yourself and theres no simple easy answer so yeah your priority should remain the same but you can do combination of unboxing and technicality maybe do a little cinematic where the camera smoothly moves to side as the product just lies there doing nothing but i dont know how to make that work probably needs a moving platform and be stabilized like basic cinemathography im probably not the best advisor but there channels that can inspire from creator to creator oh and some headset might require AMP or DAC im no audiophile and im stuck with a gaming laptop from what ive heard higher ohms means need more power to run them and headset always benefit from external AMP/DAC then build in motherboard but it most likely wont justify getting them if they build for standard for professional studio environment but beware of burnout demotivation youtube platform changing for most of the time worse beware of fake sponsors and comment bots that either impersonates creator or post weird link it suppose to be common sense not to click on suspicious links but small channels and big ones do get them so you might need to filter blocked words cause they try to bypass it so yeah good luck and make content the more content the higher chance algorithm might promote more but quality matters in the long run but first videos usually always bad thats normal creators learn and improve
@@Nogardtist yeah to be honest out of my 10 + years of making videos this is one of my first Ive done of a real life video or of this style and I tried to do it super quick so that was my first problem, I've got more videos planned and I'm working them out a lot differently than this one to make sure I cover everything and to get my quality the best I can, thank you for the advice and help! I appreciate the comments :)
I bought these couple days ago first pair worked great for about an hr and then the haptic started sounding like rattling cans. Returned it maybe thought something went wrong got the new one brought it home same thing everything I turn the haptic on sounds like rattling cans makes the audio sound like shiiiiiiit. Anyone else have that problem there's no way I got 2 bad headsets does it really sound like rattling cans to everyone else
I think my favorite wireless headset is the Arctis Pro Wireless, It's definitely not cheap but it's really comfortable and has great sound with plenty of bass. I use the Pro wireless with my PS5 and the HyperX Orbit S for everything else. I'm curious to try these though, But worried about the lack of bass.
Someone had commented a good eq setting to have it as, I went a lot higher than what they put and now my audio sounds perfectly fine for my liking, I did want to try those arctis pro's but i wanted to give this headset a shot first, I think i'll stick with this headset for now and if I have any problems in the future i'm swapping to those!
@@vianney211 Yeah heard they don't last very long and that seems to be a common issue with them. Mine are kind of loose now around the hinges, So I'm sure it's a matter of time before they snap.
I'm not 100% sure I know it says it works with playstation and I would be pretty sure it'd also work with xbox but since it doesn't say xbox I wouldn't assume unless u heard from someone that knows for sure
hi! thank you for this video. actually im having a problem with my nari ultimate, i went too far from my pc with my headset on my head. i knew its gonna dc-ed cuz i went too far. BUT the problem comes when i get back to my pc and i cant use my headset anymore ;( it keeps dc-ed the moment i turn it on or plug the donggle. also the light keeps blinking even i already plug the donggle. is anyone got solution for this? i tried everyhing including unistall the headset and restart my pc. the problem still there :( 😭
I had a very similar issue where my headset would consistently disconnect, after everything I tried and multiple headsets I couldn't get the issue fixed that's why I swapped go these and these connector is way better and I don't have that issue, it sucks cuz the naris are so comfy :( wish razer would address some of these issues and offer full refunds for people who have the struggles
@@ZathrosTech oh dang u having the same issue?! ya i also love nari especially ultimate one hmm, kinda sad also cuz i very love the game mode on nari that boost the bass. i really hope ther is a solution to fix it or someshit :( btw, is kraken v3 pro got bass setting also? im considering to buy one tho
@@auroravalhalla there is a bass boost option, I don't use it anymore because I found a perfect eq that gives me enough bass! I too loved the bass sound from the nari ultimate and swapping over to these was a little awkward at first but i found the right sound and ended up getting used to them and really enjoy them, still nothing like putting on those nari ultimates though they were just so damn comfy
Yeahhhh at the time I didn't think too much about it because it's not my top priority about these 2 headsets, but I realize especially because the haptics are slightly different in this headset that it was an important feature I missed, I have a list of things I'm going to go over in an update video to show how the battery life lasts and I plan to mention the haptics as well, not that that's important I should've mentioned it in the initial review but I hope to think through these things better in the future!
I personally got thx for free but isn't that the separate app compared to what you can already do in the software? If not that's lame the software isn't good enough to be $20 let alone cost anything lol
Ok so this is the response I have from Razer. “I'm afraid to tell you that there is no significant difference between the two when it comes to their functionality. Both produce premium quality audio. The reason why there is paid THX spatial audio is because there are headsets that are not supported with THX spatial audio on Synapse. It should be noted that THX spatial audio can be used with non-Razer headsets as well.”
@@aceman2206 that is bullshit but it does mean you'd get a free thx audio code with your headset somewhere in the box I believe, I can't even remember where I would've gotten myn if I bothered entering a code, u might also be able to find one online that someone didnt use
This product is very bad. The RGB often turns off completely and often turns on and off for no reason, even though the smartphone has just been charged using a cable, the results are the same and the RGB often turns on and off for no reason. I've only been using it for 3 days
Am I crazy? Like am i the only1 who cannot seem to get over how good the nari ultimate sounds compared to any other headset ive tried EVEN in 2024!?! like i tried blackshark v2 pro, YUCK sound. No hypersense feels like everything is boring and dead, bass is hideous. Kraken V3 Pro? Better than blackshark soundwise, has hypersense.. but still doesnt sound nearly as good! Like im no audiophile in terms of understanding how sounds work and all that, but im a big audio whore. I have not tried a better sounding headset yet i rebought my last nari ultimate. I bought blackshark v2 yesterday and i am officially returning it after listening to how nari ultimate sounds next to it... I am so upset at razer for discontinuing this model... Like please! Just add USB-C, Better batteries, and better buttons/volume wheels to this thing and it would be the god headset.. its all just small little infuriating things that are incovenient, yet so easily fixed... ugh
@@filipescp96 I agree, it was hard to adjust to the krakens at first but there were a few things in the naris that I couldn't live with, was just hoping they'd release a new model that had the same sound as the naris but with better features :/
@@ZathrosTech Gauranteed same issue I had with my wife's i explained up above, the hypersense/sound volume itself was so damn loud on the Nari's that it would always trigger voice activation or playback through the mic into the chat software like discord, causing her voice to be washed out or have echos at times as well. here's to hoping the new mic doesn't have this issue!
i'm sorry :( This was my first ever review video and I really want to try to make them better for the future! any suggestions on what could make this video better? I hate it cuz I had figured out things to put in the video right after i uploaded it and I couldn't really take it back unless I just made a part 2 I guess
@@ZathrosTech Yeah, but that's... Listen. You were great. That's a critic. This is something you're gonna have to get used to. Believe me, I know. Spider-Man gets attacked all the time.
@@ZathrosTech I know, and I'm just saying, you can't let it bring you down. You just gotta believe in yourself. You pull yourself together, and you get right back on the horse.
Lmfaooo yeah i have a problem, I do like the products but the issues I have with them are very annoying, but I feel like it's bound to happen with tech like this, I just choose to stick with razer but if I were to go with other brands ik I'd have problems randomly with some of those items too
In his defense too, I have transitioned from owning Logitech to Razer products, got their newest wireless keyboard and trinity mouse, best things ever (even the dumb charging dock). Now, I have Astro A50 wireless headsets, v1 with the base stand, and they've been the best quality headsets for like... 5 years now, but starting to have issues. Bought my wife Razer Nari Ultimate (also to test for myself as well for an eventual upgrade), but I'm sorry for multiplayer they were horrible. Mic quality was worse than trash, and those things were so loud that you had to turn the sound almost off to never transmit any sounds through discord (even RMA'd them, next set was like, 15% better, but still horrible). Playing single player ya, they are great. Bought the new wired Black shark for her, they turned out great with a good mic (wired version). Quality of sound I'd give a 7/10 though, and no hypersense. Anyways Razer won my love with their trinity mouse and going wireless and all plus the keyboard (which is USB-C BTW! @Zathros). They also got the best RGB software to be frank. used to love my all aluminum hyperelite keyboard or w/e it was called, but 2x USBs slots, ooph... I want a good Razer headset that's wireless AIO, so gonna bite the bullet on this.
Also to add, Razer has the best Wireless products with RGB, 2nd to them really is all Logitech products (non-wireless, have not tested their wireless products except for their headsets and all failed within 6 months, RMA'd, same crap) as they are sturdy products and have a great "feel" and weight that I still miss.
@@Ardanza21 razer make the best mice u can buy and above average keyboards. Razer delivers exactly what you should expect audio wise as they are not an audio company. Gaming headsets are a fight for the best 5/10 mic and sound quality.
@@sexymajesco I'm not expecting them to come out to be studio quality, just referencing between the major gaming peripheral brands, heck even the ones off Amazon that are no-names. Out of all them overall, Razer and Logitech have always outperformed. Mouse construction quality of a Razer is crap to Logitech's, but I also love heavy and metal-like mouse. If the RAT Cyborg mouse was wireless and had the functionality of the Razer Naga Pro, 100% would switch (as long as they had other peripherals of the same brand). I'm not big into having 3x different softwares running to control mouse, keyboard, and headset, so unfortunately Razer has the top spot for KB/Mouse for me. Naga Pro - can't beat swappable plates for different gaming and the customization and macros you can do, just too plastic and not metal feeling. Blackwidow v3 Pro - pretty solid, just not an aluminum body that I miss. Already ordered these headsets, so here's to hoping MP with hypersense on isn't 100% trash (or a way to mix incoming chat or specific softwares to be 100% no hypersense)
Good review! I'm glad you mentioned Haptics in the comment section, and grats on being the first and only review for V3 Pro's. I just got my V3 Hypersense Pro's (wireless) in today. I have the regular (wired) V3 Hypersense as well (trying them all out). I have experienced crackling/popping as reported in Amazon reviews for the V3 (wired) but I have zero issues with the V3 Pro's (wireless) so far. No static, no popping, or crackling. I can say with certainty the V3 Hypersense (wired) are getting returned.
The stronger speculation right now is that the V3 Hypersense (wired) is having these issues because of the decision to use USB as their power and audio source. I tried hours of troubleshooting, posting on reddit, enabling/disabling/uninstalling, Razer forums, and contacted support, still no fix.
Side note: Somehow I feel like these V3 Pro's sound even better. I'm not sure how they managed but I'm guessing because the power source is from the batteries directly in the headphones and not through USB, somehow they have more power to them. Bass is deeper, and the vocals are seemingly more clear - although the wired V3's were already great sounding if you ignore the popping and crackling. Cheers
*Couple things that might help with settings/audio*
- For bass, I wouldn't turn on bass boost or any enhancements, they sound terrible personally. Instead, bump up 30hz and 60hz on the EQ a few notches to your liking. Just keep in mind this sacrifices some vocal clarity if set too high. My 30hz is set at 4, and my 60hz is set at 3 (still testing).
- Make sure "Spatial Audio" is either OFF, or set to "Manual". In manual, set "Spatial Output" for "other/video/music Applications" to Stereo. Games can be left at Game Mode. Doing this has helped a lot of people get better quality sound for music etc., on the V3 Hypersense (wired) as well.
- I only installed Synapse. Some of the other programs are said to cause issues with audio quality, etc. on certain headphones. This varies a lot per-person, so you don't have to take my word for it.
I will definitely try this out! Thanks for the comment I kept trying to increase boost and I'm not an expert so I don't know how to do that other than the setting for bass boost, really appreciate the time you've put into this and I can't wait to try it out!
Very nice comment my friend!
Big thing for me right now is crackling and I’m told my mic cuts out quite a bit.. if there is any recommendations for settings then I am all ears. I love the headsets, but this is extremely frustrating.
@@jaytee1443 The crackling happened to me later on. I actually had to get Razer to replace them. They're perfect now but it's disappointing that their quality assurance seems to not exist. It's the biggest issue I'm reading in reviews with these headphones. I tried literally everything to fix them. This makes future purchases from Razer very questionable for me. Cheers
This is exactly what I was looking for. Especially comparing against nari ultimates. I love my naris but they are so fragile. This is looking like my new baby. Ty for sharing :)
Nice job getting a review out fast! Really glad to hear about the improved range & connectivity, because that was the one thing that I was worred about purchasing a wired headset for the first time. Really nice review, I'll be sure to some other ones out if you make them! :)
Thank you I really appreciate that! I'll be sure to go more in depth and make my next review a lot better! Thanks for the comment
I ordered my v3 Pro on the 21st and they made it here on the 24th. Was amazed how fast they made it here, apparently coming from Hong Kong? But yea, I'm also coming from the Nari Ultimate and what I really miss is the chat mix and swivel cups. The haptics are definitely better, and the wireless connection is also better. The only issue I had was they were too quiet for my liking, so I turned everything up in the EQ settings.
awesome! so glad to hear I got people to share with haha! yeah another thing that really annoys me is having this sieren v2 pro I swapped off using my virtual audio cables now i'm using this software so i'm just really trying to get used to all this new stuff and how to work with sound now. best of luck with the headset and I hope you enjoy it!
Is it working on synapses
@@pinappleuwont8502 yup, no issues so far
@@DunkM4sterFlex without it being wireless like just the cable
finally the first review, great vid bro.
In order to fix the crackling, you have to set your computer volume to 100% and your headset volume to 100% (right slider), then use the left slider to adjust volume. Had replaced the Nari Ultimate and still had the crackling, fixed the problem myself after all of it.
The problem with crackle and customer-facing is that crackle is harder to determine when it comes to manufacturing. People can hear different frequency ranges, which normally lessens with age.
Thanks for making a review about this headset!
Thanks for watching! hopefully it was helpful, if you have any other questions let me know :) I feel like I didn't do the best job explaining everything haha
@@ZathrosTech it's the best video about kraken v3 pro, because it's the only one ;) But for real, you did a really good job. Nice camera positions and editing. Feels like you should have a lot more views.
Nice review. I'm upgrading all my rig, and I wanted a new headset and I am very, very close to buying the Naris, but the microUSB thing just keeps me off. I'm really hoping they get a V2 or something with type C.
Somebody finally made a review!
Been waiting for a review of this! Just ordered now. Thank you!
My Naris broke down recently. Problem with dongle. Razer offered me as a replacement Krakens v3 instead of these and idk if i should be happy or not :/
That's good they actually replaced them, after using them for so long I definitely don't have a problem with them and haven't had any disconnecting issues so hopefully it goes the same with you!
Same with my dongle, today i got a mail that the nari was unavailable and if they could replace it with kraken v3 pro. How is yours? Better or worse?
04:45 have you ever considered that there may be a lot of noise of all kind of weird signals where you live, which disturb your signal?
Props to you for making a high quality review so soon!
Thank you! I hope to work harder to make sure future videos even higher quality!
You are the only person on the internet who has reviewed these
Does the kraken come with the cooling pads like the Nari? Nice video btw, and agree the detachable mic is awful, that was better in the Nari. I love the type-C upgrade and better battery tho.
Yes the kraken has the nice cooling earcups! And thank you!
So is the difference in bass that big of a difference? I have a vr headset and am looking for intensity for better immersion so that’s my real decision maker between the two.
The brand brand new razer kaira pro (ps5) are the best. Just released December 2021. They have RGB and haptic. But smart haptic for games so you can tell where it coming from (on low) and for music with bt well they bump!!! Took the place of my beats studio 3
Hi there, how good is it? Any further comments? Really plan on getting THE best wireless headset for my PS5 right now since I already have a headset for my PC.
@@MSCC5 I really love the thing. It’s my all around headset now. I use em to game and I use them on bt for music and movies ect. I have gotten more kills in Warzone not because my shot was off but because I can hear better to pinpoint people that I wouldn’t have heard before. They are immersive with or without the haptic on but I do prefer it on low for everything all around, they work while charging and charge fast
How’s the bass
@@mastervz4806 imo ok. You can tell its bass. But with the haptic on low its like turning on a subwoofer. Haptic off as I said they are good. I like them overall. But hey who am I lol. Stay safe.
@@miked6097 thank you! I’m just going to get the Sony xm5s and Bluetooth them to the ps5. These gaming headsets are always hit and miss. I’ll just use the mic provided on the controller. Lol
The game sound voice thing took me so long how to fix I got the kraken v3 pro and gave the ultimate to my little sister she lucky because I buy a lot of gaming shit and give her my old stuff but I get new things every year 😅😅
The wireless interface on these Xbox headphones has become a real problem of mine. I also run into the crackle issue and complete disconnect issue. Tried steel series X9’s and they also do the same thing you’ve expressed. SMH.
oh are you running into the disconnecting issue with these kraken v3 pro's? if so I have not yet run into that issue only with other razer wireless headsets, i'm sorry you're having problems it's so annoying having that issue especially when you buy a whole new headset thinking it'll be fixed but it just does the same thing, I wish I knew the problem I'm just glad I don't have that with these current ones
@@ZathrosTech Thank you for the comment. And I have yet to try and Razer headphones yet. But I will look into them as I’m looking for something with the comfort of the steel series I previously had.
This is been out for a year plus but i found it searching for battery replacement videos, one thing i can say the mics suck use the headset but use an external mic period. Youl thank me later. anyway not what i wanted to write, i bought the razer nari ultimate years ago and my biggest gripe with it was the battery, i always hated how short it would last with haptic and LED on. Turning the LEDs off gave a bit more life but still the haptic part just sucks the battery dry... Lately been having an issue with recharging, so i decided to search for a video online maybe someone attempted to change the batteries on this thing. Low and behold someone did, they went from a 1200mah to 3500mah and the battery lasts for ever. But the main guy also changed the charging to USB C and omg this is the best thing ever. So i learned how to solder just so i can do this two, now i can walk with this thing 3 floors down and still hear music its amazing. Batteries last also up to 14h+ with haptic and LED but i leave LED off anyway its not like i have a mirror where i can look at them... But yeah, i will be doing the same to the Kraken V3. I love the haptic for my cellphone on the go but honestly, i cant understand why they use cheap batteries cgange them asap if you can it a blessing.
Please update us on the battery life when you get the chance! It's one of the main decision factors for me!
So far I charged it last night and then walked out and it was unplugged on the floor cuz the cats are stupid LOL, anyways, I've had it on for the past 6 hours, not constantly playing stuff but for the most part I have been, Lighting is at 15, volume 100%, haptic intensity on med, bass boost 60, thx spatial audio, and music eq, i don't know how much those all affect the battery percentage BUT it's still at a good 75% battery I think with this weird battery indicator. So it's actually been pretty good! the first night I had it I thought it dropped pretty fast but it might've just been since it was already around 50% out of the box, from 100% I think it'll last you a good while or for me a full 2 to 3 days of playing!
@@ZathrosTech thansks for the update! It sounds promising, looks like I will be upgrading my headset soon!
what settings in the EQ adjuster do you preset for fps games as well as more low tone League style games, i havent messed too much with the settings because im on my broken nari ultimates and soon receiving these ones
It took me a minute to get used to the sound difference but having 30hz up to about 10 and 60hz a little lower then 120hz a little lower than that, keep the middles around 0 and then 2khz gradually going up to having 16k at 6 was the best I found personally, definitely make sure ur bass boost is turned off aswellas sound norm those fuck with the sound
loved this review a lot.. keep them coming
Did these sound bad out of the box to you? I got these as an upgrade to my Kraken Tournament Editions but the audio quality compared to those just sounds muffled and bad overall when I see reviews saying they sound very good.
They only really sound good when you adjust the eq, I had to get used to the difference from the naris
Have you experienced some wierd probelms with the hapticts? My haptics worked fine then i turned them off later the day i got them i tried again and it vibrates but it makes a wierds buzzing/shocking noice everytime it vibrates? Also the razer synapse program is showing that the headset have 0% battery but in the menu it sais more than 50%
You could try to contact support and they'll hopefully give you some software that'll reinstall the drivers, I'm not sure 100% if that'd be something to just rma or if it's fixed through software, but u should definitely rka and get a new one
@@ZathrosTech I looked up many things, i uninstalled everything with razer and the drivers of the headset, now they are working fine. This is my first wireless headsett so i think i move with caution to whatever im doing. But a bit strange.
@@remes9428 oh sweet okay, yeah maybe it was just an error that hopefully is fixed now that u reinstalled them! Best of luck with the future of ur headset!
@@ZathrosTech ahahah funny enough i saw that my razer deathadder v2 pro needed an driver update so i updated it by the razer link on their website and now it wont Connect to synapse and my headsett doesnt want to Connect with synapse either and the headset does not make the sounds form the output even though its connected i only hear myself because of the settings i put before
@@remes9428 oh wow that's so weird, I'm sorry youre having this problem :/ I wsh I could help you but I've never had that I feel like with gaming stuff it's always 50/50 whether people have big issues with stuff or not
Ia the Nari still your go to? I'm currently looking for a wireless headset to replace my Creative sxfi gamer headset and I must say the bass is really really good and the volume level is really loud too. Ive gone through 5 headsets that can't match the bass and volume. Recently these JBL 810 have been the closest just wish they were a tad louder.
I personally am using these kraken v3 pros still and have gotten really used to them, I'd say the naris definitely have more bass but after using these for so long now I do enjoy them better
How is the sidetone on these? It’s really low on the blacksharks… like when u talk into the mic is it louder or lower?
I don't use sidetone but there is a slider for it to let you put it wherever you'd like, I'm not sure if this is just me being dumb but it seems like it only works with the mic on the headset? It's not giving me sidetone for my actual mic which is strange
@@ZathrosTech yea u need that mic plugged in. That’s why I sold my shure SM7B because I need to hear myself. I actually bought the wired version and sidetone is loud and clear but on the blacksharks it’s muffled. Also how is your battery life?
@@wintersoldier4269 it's good, probably last about 3 days of use the way I use it, 1 full day of hardcore gaming from my younger days LOL, but one problem is that the sleep timer thing doesn't work, i set it to turn off after 15 minutes but it doesn't, battery life has still been good but would be nice if I could get it to turn off for times I forget to and go afk
@@ZathrosTech nice mine coming soon! Thanks for the reply. And yea even if it’s one day it’s worth it.. I bought the wired version to test it out and I love it … that’s when I ordered wireless.. I’ve heard wireless sounds better idk if it’s cause they turned it a little different or not
@@wintersoldier4269 oh yeah I haven't heard anything about sound quality between wired and wireless but that's crazy if the wireless is better, it's good cuz I don't think I'll ever go with a wired headset again
Thank you for the review! I have a nari ultimate and the battery is ass right now so I'm super tempted to get this for the 40 hr battery
Yeah the battery on the nari was a big problem esp when it wouldn't charge as fast as it'd use up battery and just shut off
I just got back in from returning them for thay reason. I'm alil sketchy on this one because i actually do like the chat to game volume toggle
@@thexmagicbull6319 So the batteries not good on this one then? I don't use the chat to game feature personally.
@@Mr.man712 no the battery on the kraken seems amazing. The nari ultimate battery sucks
@@thexmagicbull6319 Sweet I'm sold on getting the kraken when I got extra money! Appreciate it.
I had a nari ultimate for a little over a year and the right speaker died. RIP but I used it a lot, now i've had the blackshark v2 pro for almost a year and the right speaker is having problems, am sending it back for RMA now but I really do love the blackshark v2 pro so if I can get another year out of this rma it'll be worth it for me.
Oh wow that's unlucky to have happen twice, out of my many years of owning razer headsets I've never had a problem with the audio going out like that, only connecting issues and battery's not lasting too long
What about the Haptics? Are they better than the Nari Ultimate?
Yes! Sorry I didnt go over that in the video, the haptics are a lot better and also better to use with that haptics button, it's a little weird only having 3 settings to choose from but they feel better and are super subtle compared to the nari, so way nicer
@@ZathrosTech
... You didn't go over the only unique thing about the headset compared to others?
@@TheReal_N-I-F-F yeah my bad, I am definitely thinking through my next review a lot better than I did with this one, the haptics aren't super crazy of a feature since I had gotten used to them the past while with the nari so it kinda slipped my mind
@@ZathrosTech lmao
I replaced my old logitech wireless headset with the Blackshark V2 Pros, and love the wireless performance besides the mic quality. Have to walk to the kitchen until it cuts out. Sucks yours didn't wanna work. :c But I prefer the heft, deeper cups and leatherette cushions of my listening headphones and might pass the Blackshark to my brother who needs a headset. If you recall the quality of them, do the larger drivers and overall feel justify an upgrade to the Kraken?
the blackshark isn't bad at all, I really liked the fit and the sound quality was similar, my main issue was just the wireless connection would cutout a lot and also the earcups would take an extra 2 seconds to adjust to sit on my head properly, they did feel nice, way lighter than what i was used to so i had to try to get used to it but at the point of it cutting out the same as the nari I gave up and just stuck with what I felt was more comfortable. These krakens are similar to the weight and feel but it completely fixes that wireless problem I had so i'm fine with that. if you want to spend the extra $60-$80 to sell those and buy the krakens, the main upgrade for you would be I'd say a slightly larger cup, few more features, better mic, and haptic feedback which is pretty good on this headset compared to the nari
I’ll have to find a friend who has krakens to see how they fit my head then. I have the same fitment issues with the blacksharks. They’re super adjustable and comfy but I think I prefer more rigid headphones so I’m fiddling less. Thanks for the reply!
I see a lot of people talkign about issues related to crackling with Nari Ultimates, this can usually be attributed to having the headphones plugged in during use
My headphones weren't plugged in while I would get the crackling issue, whatever it was I've not had the problem with this new kraken v3 so i'm happy about that, as much as I love the naris :(
@@ZathrosTech I just got my kraken pros, so far perfection
@@Bigschlanginpapa awesome! That's great to hear :)
Also I just got Razer Kraken V3 Hypersense and the THX Spatial Audio is so muffled. I just use the normal Razer Kraken audio output because that way is not muffled
Hi! Im about the purchase this model Kraken V3 Pro but I got concern after watched review videos. People complain some issues like turn off suddenly or RGB is not working properly. Have you experienced such issue - Is this issue still persist? or Razer updated somehow? I would appriciate any comments, thanks!
The only issue I experience is sometimes the haptics will have a weird sound and you need to turn it off and back on to fix, it's kinda rare tho but I've never had problems with it turning off randomly, but I also turn my rgb off fully to save on battery life too
@@ZathrosTech Thanks for the answer! I heard that when you switch TH-cam videos or change to browser tab, sound is gone. That's why I wanted to ask if you or anyone from your followers had/having similar issue as well.
@@semihyolcu6572 I have not :( I'm sorry I can't be of more help, I surprisingly got really lucky with this headset, it's the first razer headset that I've had little to no issues with and I've had it since release still goin strong, also nobody ever wants to have to return and get replacements but if yours does end up with issues you can do that and hopefully it works out! Best of luck :)
Hey thanks for the review. I just received these and have them charging. It says yellow is charging and green is charged. I don't know about you, but i'm having a hard time telling if the blinking light is yellow or green. I did notice that after charging them for awhile the charging indicator light turns completely off, does that mean it's fullly charged? Any help you can give will be appreciated, thanks.
I noticed the light blinks a slow yellow when charging and then is straight up green when charged, I might accidentally overcharge things so I'm gonna try to not charge it as much and let it die but so far I haven't so I'm not sure if there's a red light when low like on the nari, I can try to pay attention more to let u kno but for me myn was on when charged
@@ZathrosTech OK thanks
Have you used both the 3.5 mm connection and wireless? If I use the 3.5 mm connection I always have the haptic on pc and ps5. I noticed that when I tried using it wireless on pc I get no haptic. I have tried changing devices in sound settings and nothing. If I do get the haptic wireless it doesn't seem as strong as with the 3.5 mm connection. Any help I'd appreciate. Thanks!
@@demonology1013 that's strange, ik that when's its charging it won't give u any haptics to make it charge faster but have u also tried messing with the haptics button or maybe your volume isn't as loud on your pc making it not detect enough to give you those haptics
@@ZathrosTech yeah I tried all that. When I use it wireless on ps5 I get the haptics
I got the Razer Nari ultimate, and right out of the box, I noticed the right earcup is louder than the left, especially at lower volumes, maxed out volume on the wheel makes it less noticable, but it's still there, and I can't find a fix for it. I saw one person had the same problem and they returned the headset for another, and had the same issue. Also the quality of my friends voices in discord is just terrible, compared to my old headset which is a kraken. The kraken sound quality is just unmatched, but it has absolutely no bass, I want a headset with the same physical design of the nari or kraken, and sound quality of the kraken but with haptics.
Where'd you buy them from?
I bought it from the razer website, which is why I was so surprised I got it so early, it said pre order and that they'd ship on the 24th and normally I'd have bad luck with Ups but I got lucky I guess and got it on the 24th
Great Video man, Keep up the great work !
Yeah my consern is the same about the audio. Really hope the quality will match the Nari with bass etc.
I got a good setup by putting bass at 60, using the thx spatial audio and then putting the eq on music, will still probably mess around with it more
@@ZathrosTechThe audio quality for music is mm so good. But I notice whenever Bass in beats hits, its like a very sharp cling sound inside the headset. There is more but I wonder do you have a discord for your channel? Love to discuss more about the headset.
@@selfproclaimdgod8800 I do have a discord it's more for my gaming/streaming, I haven't really heard any weird sounds other than from it charging, which is steange there'd be sounds while it's charging but idk, after turning down the overall headset volume on windows and turning up the wheel on the headset I thimk it sounds a little better as well
@@ZathrosTech it runs only on windows or mac too??
@@giovannigrillone1601 I believe it should work but it might be a little bit difficult to get synapse working from what I've heard in the past. If I had a mac to test it out on I would but sadly I think you'd have to wait for someone to test that out
Sound on ps5? Memory on board to save profiles directly to headset?
I'm not 100% sure if you can store profiles on it, Ik that if you connect it to your ps5 you could definitely mess with sound levels and the haptic intensity using the buttons, but idk if it will keep your eq settings sadly. it potentially could I just don't own a ps5 to check :(
Does using the headset wired only remove most of the features that the headset can use in wireless mode?
It seems like using it with the aux will keep all of the features, it could just be that since it's charging it disables everything to charge faster! Which is okay thinking about it
I currently have the Steel Series Siberia 800 Wireless Headphones. Do you feel that the Razer Kraken V3 Pro's would out perform my current headset and also is there a headphone jack on the headphones?
I'm not sure about those headphones compared to the krakens but yes it does have an audio jack
I got the Razer Kraken V3 Hypersense but my ears get way to hot from it. Still debating if the Nari will be better to have for audio and the Hypersense over the Kraken V3 Hypersense. I have notice popping from the USB cable version so far. May return it and grab the Nari instead but I am not sure doing research to see if this is normal or not. Also when I turn on the computer this morning no audio was routing to the headset. I made sure the PC had the headset as the default audio source and nothing. I needed to unplug it and re-plug it back just to get audio. No Thank You!
Unless youve used the nari from my experience the cooling material on the ear cups seems to be the same and do a decent job for me to cool my ears, I'm not sure about the other problems the only issue I've had was the haptics sounding really weird like something got messed up by dropping the headset but it fixed when I turned it off and back on and haven't had a problem since
@@ZathrosTech I see, do both of those perform about the same? I heard the V3 Hypersense have a much better sound stage. Maybe I should re-install my Razer software and re-test them again today.
@@ITAngel at first it was weird and I thought the kraken had worse audio but I'd say they perform about the same, the better thing about would be the haptics seem a lot nicer, even though u don't have that slider u just have 3 options it still is better, then you also have the mic quality being better on the krakens but the main audio after messing with eq, it's somewhat similar if not better, the one thing I miss it how much more comfortable the nari was because it was big and just sat on your head, at the same time you can probably shake your head more with the krakens without them falling off
@@ZathrosTech I see, and good to know. Thank you for answering my questions. I will for sure give these another run and see how it does. +1 sub
@@ITAngel thank you for taking the time to watch! One thing I'd recommend for eq is to increase the first 4 collums, 30hz to 250hz up, for 30 I have it at 8, 60 is at 7, 120 is at 4, 250 is at 2 and the rest are 0, but then again if you need to make it sound better for yourself those are just my preferences
Be lucky you have a mic. I have a 2017 razer blade laptop with razer kraken x headset and mic. It's now 2022 and I STILL cannot get the mic to work. The laptop doesn't even acknowledge an audio device is even connected. I got it working for about 10 min, after that nothing.
aw man i'm sorry that's the most frustrating thing, my synapse has been going through some shit the past few days and made it a little difficult to do stuff on my pc, I feel like it's just the software but idek at this point
I have the same problem with my ears touching the inside of the ear cups. Do you know of any headsets that don't do that I am upgrading from Kraken v2 that had the room I needed thanks in advance
I havent had as much of an issue anymore and definitely is still comfortable to wear over time, I'm not really too sure about other headsets to look into at the moment other than the new arctis pro
So my biggest thing is the haptics just like the nari ultimate's? and the bass was my other concern. Is there just like less* bass? or is it like worse? Because I rly like the new rgb and look, but if the sound just isn't the same idk. But I heard the v3 headsets sound better and have better sound in general than the ultimate's and kraken pro v2. Please Respond!
the haptics are better than the nari's, the bass I don't think is as good or sounds as natural without tweaking audio, after messing with sound awhile and seeing other peoples comments on how to fix it i noticed changing the eq to have higher 30hz 60hz 120hz and 250hz is the way to go and it sounds pretty good now. myn are pretty high because i like my deep sounds but it's all personal preference at that point.
@@ZathrosTech so do you think it would be worth it to upgrade or to keep the naris?
@@harleypippenger3255 if you don't have a connectivity problem with the naris I say keep the naris, it was a viable upgrade for me because my naris would disconnect constantly and these krakens fix that issue with the new dongle. both are good but too similar to justify a $200 purchase if you don't have problems with your current headset
Can you do pc audio preset, than connect to your phone and will they stay on it preset from pc or no. If no i will go with kaira pro.
Love the razer reviews can you do the hammer heads gen 2 next?
Thank you! I might in the future, I have the gen 1's and I wanted to grab those but I had gotten galaxy buds so maybe if i'm in need of new earbuds I can compare them all! Thanks for the idea!
Great review! Appreciate your thoughts. Cheers!
Thank you! really looking forward to making these videos even better and I really appreciate your comment and taking the time to watch it! :)
Thats a SICK setup!
Thank you! It's a work in progress haha
what im confused about is they boast on there website that the nari ultimate and the kraken v3 pro have the same triforce drivers/speakers, if thats true then how do they sound different besides having different software and earcups?
I believe the way the cups of the speakers were built affects the quality as well, the naris were much larger and heavier and the krakens are small and light which probably affects the sound is my understanding, I'm not an expert on this stuff though
That still helps thank you
Cats are so Cute. And your review is so good.
Hey Zathros, I have a question hopefully you can answer since it’s been at least 9 days of you using the headset. I’ve heard that the haptic feedback is very overpowering and not really worth the extra money since you don’t want it on all the time. I don’t know what kind of games you play, but for the competition pvp ( such as apex legends lol ) do you think it would give an “advantage” or would it be useless and to overpowering to focus? Please let me know ASAP thank you and overall good review!👍🏼👏🏼
The past week I've only been playing minecraft and forza horizon 5, I will test out apex or pubg real quick and reply, I have my haptics on medium setting and they are perfectly fine! Not overpowering at all
Yeah with apex it didn't seem to matter too much, it also depends on your volume of the game that determines how the haptics are too, It was nice cuz I could feel the weapons shoot but it didn't give any sort of advantage I'd say
@@ZathrosTech Thank you for the fast reply I’ll definitely take your input into consideration 💯💯
When using on ps5 can you use a 3.5mm connection and still get haptics?
I believe so! the haptics button will allow you to cycle through them without the software
I've used a Nari Ultimate for some time before getting rid of it for noise cancelling normal headphones. How do the haptics on the Kraken compare to the Nari?
They are a lot better in my opinion, the problem is that u only have 3 options for level of feedback but it doesn't really matter too much it just feels different though idk how to explain it properly just a lot more refined
Medium haptics settings for kraken feel too low
Hi, do you hear sound of kira pro ps5 its better than kraken v3 pro in terms of bass, mid ?kraken better in high and much more detail?
I don't have that headset so I can't judge for myself but I can also tell you that without fine tuning the eq settings in the software the kraken doesn't sound good right out of the box, I'm not sure how that interferes with ps5 if u can plug it into a pc to mess with settings and then swap it over? If u can't I'd recommend getting the headset thats made specifically for the ps5 as they'll probably take that into account
@@ZathrosTech Can you do pc audio preset, than connect to your phone and will they stay on it preset from pc or no. If no i will go with kaira pro.
@@КириллБоднев-ж7щ I'm not 100% sure, but I think so if you're just using it for your ps5 id go with the kaira
Great video loved the cats 🐱
Does this have bluetooth connection for phones?
Here is a quote from an amazon review for the Kraken V3 Hypersense "constant static noise and humming sounds at low volume or quiet scenes when watching movies. Watching YT videos click play and press stop you'll hear audible electronic static noise whispers."
I've gone through 2 V3 Hypersense headsets and they both had this issue, have you noticed anything like this on the Kraken V3 Pro?
I have not, I did actually noticed something while the headset was plugged in and charging that u can subtly hear something really quietly but other than that I've had the headset on with nothing playing and haven't heard a thing
I just got my V3 Hypersense Pro's (wireless) in today. I have the regular (wired) V3 Hypersense as well (trying them all out). I have experienced the exact same issues on the V3 (wired) but I have zero issues with the V3 Pro's (wireless) so far, no static, no popping or crackling. I can say with certainty the V3 Hypersense (wired) are getting returned.
The stronger speculation right now is that the V3 Hypersense (wired) is having these issues because of the decision to use USB as their power and audio source. I tried hours of troubleshooting, posting on reddit, Razer forums, disabling/enabling/uninstalling, and contacted support, still no fix.
Side note, somehow I feel like these V3 Pro's sound even better. I'm not sure how they managed but I'm guessing because the power source is from the batteries directly in the headphones and not through USB, somehow they have more power to them, bass is deeper, and the vocals are seemingly more clear - though the wired V3's were already great sounding if you ignore the popping and crackling.
Going to post this reply to the main comment section for others to be aware of. Cheers
@@willfullyinformed thanks for your input! I really wanted to test them out between the wired too but I wasn't gonna buy both, plus I am mainly gonna go with wireless headsets from now on now that I know it was just the nari and blackshark that gave me connectivity problems with my pc
This is just the V3 Hypersense but wireless right?
Basically but I think there are some subtle changes that make the wireless different, ik the main difference is the mic in wireless is super cardioid vs the wired being just cardioid
Just for clarification, cause Im always a bit iffy about wireless, can the Kraken V3 Pro be used wired aswell, or is that not suggested?
Yes it can be used wired I personally don't like wired headsets but I'm pretty sure they work really well, it comes with a jack for it the nari did as well
@@ZathrosTech not against wireless or anything.
I'm still on the original Kraken 7.1 (USB) and am used to having a cable and not having to charge my headset, but I hope to upgrade it since its starting to make weird noises after almost 10 years haha.
Hope the Kraken v3 Pro will be an upgrade in audio and mic (and of course the amazing haptics). I just don't know all that much about headsets as I never NEEDED to upgrade, but always heard the Kraken 7.1 (USB) had an amazing mic, so I wonder is the newer one Kraken v3 Pro (which isn't digital, but analog instead) might be a downgrade in mic quality.
(Never had an analog headset, but heard it makes a difference for mic/audio quality compared to digital).
@@-SpiderNoob- I personally think the new mic quality is pretty good but that is also from comparing it to my nari, it'd be super helpful for u if u want to walk around ur house, the sound quality would hopefully be better I think the cushions will also be a super big plus for u, overall I think it's a better upgrade from the original kraken 7.1 but I can't remember too much from it to know how different the quality is in audio, I used to use them a long time ago as well and I liked them
@@ZathrosTech thanks for the replies man, appreciated
Any tips on making it a little louder, mine are all the way up on pc and headset but even when I set them down you can barely hear anything
As long as you've made sure to go into both sound settings and also make sure the wheel on the headset is all the way up as well as desktop audio then I'm not quite sure, it could be a audio driver thing or a defective headset.
@@ZathrosTech it's weird because it's loud on my switch, and I've set everything to max. Unless I need to do some more adjustments in synapse
@@donbest8981 u could possibly Check ur eq, also if u have thx active you can make sure that's up on ur sound settings as well if u don't wanna deal with thx just turn it off
@@ZathrosTech I don't have thx downloaded, I have synapse and the 7. 1 surround software app installed
@@donbest8981 hmmm yeah I'm sorry I guess you could just mess around more and see if there's anything, good luck! I'm sure if nothing works youd be able to get a refund
Honestly love the base the nari has over the kraken and I loved the other nob the nari had that let me adjust the game and voice chat seperate if I needed to turn people down or up super fast it's the main reason I got a refurbished one when I broke mine and will keep doing so till another one has that feature. The mic I hated when recording id hear the game audio that was in my headphones picking up in the mic that's the one thing I hated and it sounded worse then the old original kraken I had.
i hate that they charge with a cable. give us multiple batteries instead
True! I saw the arctis pro did that and I thought it was the coolest thing ever, such a clever design and makes me really wish razer would do something similar
Does this pickup a lot of background noise ?
not that i've experienced, it definitely did a better job at background noise than the nari ultimate did! but obviously not as good as my current standalone mic but I use the beacn mic now which is like $300 or somethin
Do they have white noise at normal volumes?
No they don't, but they do make a weird sound when charging if you're not playing anything through them, but I might need to test that again since I only noticed that once
This review felt personal 💀
i had razer kraken pro V2 outdated and no longer supported version cause it was dedicated to synapse 2
probably the best headset i had and it survived for almost 3 years of use but there was 2 critical issues that nailed to its coffin
the first critical problem was discontinued software a windows update somehow managed to ruin surround sound without it it wont even be able to change equalizer cause i discovered im a V shape type
i tried arctis 3 and it was 25% worse then unequalized kraken and default kraken sounded kinda bad
now i have hyperX cloud alpha instead of beyerdynamics DT770 pro 80ohms and it sounds not the same but better then both
to fix arctis 3 i had to use third party equalizer and it kinda worked but equalizer or surround sound has a problem the recording software picks the sound effect and it stacks the EQs literally so the audio sounded different then what im hearing from real time gameplay and listening to replay of a recording that is something to be very ware of that no one speaks about its common problem with small creators they play a game but dont do audio tests to see if its exact the same as if they were not recording anything
as for arctis 3 a 4/10 in sound kraken pro V2 default sound was 5.5/10 as for alphas they are solid 7/10 and i havent tried anything better yet but i know they are not perfect
razer electra V2 were the worst razer headset i ever had since i only had 2 headset from that brand the comfort was deal breaker it physically scratched my ears who ever designed it they deserve to have the headset they designed glued to their heads as for kraken V2 the comfort was on another level steelseries are clones and their comfort is acceptable but the grip is weak and can fall if you look down rapidly kraken kinda slipped but had more grip alphas has more grip
so yeah for me audio quality is top priority comfort is second and you want durability to last it as long as possible
edit: oh and if you plan to make higher quality videos adjust better lighting and bit rate but for a average micro channel you already put more effort then most would
Thank you! I'm definitely working on making every new video better I'm just in a weird spot right now, I found that my audio quality got way better when I turned off the basic bass boost and all that and messed with the eq a lot more now it sounds great but also I'm not the best at determining sound quality so if I'd want to review more headsets I guess that's what I'd have to learn more about, I did want to try the arctis pros but that was if themis headset didn't work out and so far it's been good so I guess I won't try them out anytime soon
@@ZathrosTech yeah the audio issues you notice it at late stage of editing so thats what short tests is for to see if everything runs smoothly if theres no lag if theres no loss in sound or visual quality
as for content being a tech channel gonna be very hard even harder then gaming channels or game review channels cause games you already played you know what content you can make out of them and games content can still be reused from different style and perspective
tech channels gonna be depending on products and it gonna be costly till it pays off i know one laptop reviewer started with idk 75K subs and managed to be successful
i on the other hand still hold back cause i experiment or think my content is so bad its just waste of time so youre much better off to completely ignore analytics and just make content the way you want to skills usually grow on its own how fast you learn depends on how efficient you are at making production value it can be something very cheap and simple as just changing lighting or post process but it also depending on equipment to not blow the budget
as for bitrate you already have VP09 instead of worst compression so thats good sight for 1080p res usually people either upscale to 1440p to force youtubes compression to make vp09 codec
as for bit rate 32K should be balanced in theory and 60K bit rate as for high quality 84K bit rate maximum but the higher the bit rate the more storage and performance you gonna need and might lag the editing software it something you have to optimize yourself and theres no simple easy answer
so yeah your priority should remain the same but you can do combination of unboxing and technicality maybe do a little cinematic where the camera smoothly moves to side as the product just lies there doing nothing but i dont know how to make that work probably needs a moving platform and be stabilized like basic cinemathography
im probably not the best advisor but there channels that can inspire from creator to creator
oh and some headset might require AMP or DAC im no audiophile and im stuck with a gaming laptop from what ive heard higher ohms means need more power to run them and headset always benefit from external AMP/DAC then build in motherboard but it most likely wont justify getting them if they build for standard for professional studio environment
but beware of burnout demotivation youtube platform changing for most of the time worse beware of fake sponsors and comment bots that either impersonates creator or post weird link it suppose to be common sense not to click on suspicious links but small channels and big ones do get them so you might need to filter blocked words cause they try to bypass it
so yeah good luck and make content the more content the higher chance algorithm might promote more but quality matters in the long run but first videos usually always bad thats normal creators learn and improve
@@Nogardtist yeah to be honest out of my 10 + years of making videos this is one of my first Ive done of a real life video or of this style and I tried to do it super quick so that was my first problem, I've got more videos planned and I'm working them out a lot differently than this one to make sure I cover everything and to get my quality the best I can, thank you for the advice and help! I appreciate the comments :)
Can I use hypersense function with wired 3.5mm?
I am 99% sure yes you are able to
Can you charge while using it?
Yes!
I bought these couple days ago first pair worked great for about an hr and then the haptic started sounding like rattling cans. Returned it maybe thought something went wrong got the new one brought it home same thing everything I turn the haptic on sounds like rattling cans makes the audio sound like shiiiiiiit. Anyone else have that problem there's no way I got 2 bad headsets does it really sound like rattling cans to everyone else
I had this happen to me and I would just turn the headset off and back on and it would fix it, im not sure if there's another way to fix it though
I think my favorite wireless headset is the Arctis Pro Wireless, It's definitely not cheap but it's really comfortable and has great sound with plenty of bass. I use the Pro wireless with my PS5 and the HyperX Orbit S for everything else. I'm curious to try these though, But worried about the lack of bass.
Someone had commented a good eq setting to have it as, I went a lot higher than what they put and now my audio sounds perfectly fine for my liking, I did want to try those arctis pro's but i wanted to give this headset a shot first, I think i'll stick with this headset for now and if I have any problems in the future i'm swapping to those!
I had 2 warranty replacement with my Arctis Pro.... Every 12 months the earcup attachement broke...
@@vianney211 Yeah heard they don't last very long and that seems to be a common issue with them. Mine are kind of loose now around the hinges, So I'm sure it's a matter of time before they snap.
You know If this Works in Xbox one perfectly Mic also ?
I'm not 100% sure I know it says it works with playstation and I would be pretty sure it'd also work with xbox but since it doesn't say xbox I wouldn't assume unless u heard from someone that knows for sure
The Razer site says it works only wired for Xbox. I wonder if this means it plugs in to the controller with a 3.5 mm cord.
@@Deron8564 yes!
hi! thank you for this video.
actually im having a problem with my nari ultimate, i went too far from my pc with my headset on my head. i knew its gonna dc-ed cuz i went too far. BUT the problem comes when i get back to my pc and i cant use my headset anymore ;( it keeps dc-ed the moment i turn it on or plug the donggle. also the light keeps blinking even i already plug the donggle. is anyone got solution for this?
i tried everyhing including unistall the headset and restart my pc. the problem still there :(
😭
I had a very similar issue where my headset would consistently disconnect, after everything I tried and multiple headsets I couldn't get the issue fixed that's why I swapped go these and these connector is way better and I don't have that issue, it sucks cuz the naris are so comfy :( wish razer would address some of these issues and offer full refunds for people who have the struggles
@@ZathrosTech oh dang u having the same issue?! ya i also love nari especially ultimate one hmm, kinda sad also cuz i very love the game mode on nari that boost the bass. i really hope ther is a solution to fix it or someshit :(
btw, is kraken v3 pro got bass setting also? im considering to buy one tho
@@auroravalhalla there is a bass boost option, I don't use it anymore because I found a perfect eq that gives me enough bass! I too loved the bass sound from the nari ultimate and swapping over to these was a little awkward at first but i found the right sound and ended up getting used to them and really enjoy them, still nothing like putting on those nari ultimates though they were just so damn comfy

So you made an 8-minute-long video about a haptic headset without mentioning the haptic feature once.
Yeahhhh at the time I didn't think too much about it because it's not my top priority about these 2 headsets, but I realize especially because the haptics are slightly different in this headset that it was an important feature I missed, I have a list of things I'm going to go over in an update video to show how the battery life lasts and I plan to mention the haptics as well, not that that's important I should've mentioned it in the initial review but I hope to think through these things better in the future!
Hey guys I just purchased this headset (Razer V3 Hypersense) and found out I have to pay an additional US$20 to unlock spatial audio. Buyer beware.
I personally got thx for free but isn't that the separate app compared to what you can already do in the software? If not that's lame the software isn't good enough to be $20 let alone cost anything lol
@@ZathrosTech hey mate, i was dumbfounded i paid $219 AU for the headset. Now I have to pay $20 US more for a feature that is advertised on the box.
@@aceman2206 ohhh did u not get a code in the box? Somewhere there might be a code u can use to activate it?
Ok so this is the response I have from Razer.
“I'm afraid to tell you that there is no significant difference between the two when it comes to their functionality. Both produce premium quality audio. The reason why there is paid THX spatial audio is because there are headsets that are not supported with THX spatial audio on Synapse. It should be noted that THX spatial audio can be used with non-Razer headsets as well.”
@@aceman2206 that is bullshit but it does mean you'd get a free thx audio code with your headset somewhere in the box I believe, I can't even remember where I would've gotten myn if I bothered entering a code, u might also be able to find one online that someone didnt use
My headset is not connected
ok... you want me to connect it for you? xD tf
@@SonicMasterLB yes please
Big voice crack at 5:59
Hehe Thanks :3
This product is very bad. The RGB often turns off completely and often turns on and off for no reason, even though the smartphone has just been charged using a cable, the results are the same and the RGB often turns on and off for no reason. I've only been using it for 3 days
Am I crazy? Like am i the only1 who cannot seem to get over how good the nari ultimate sounds compared to any other headset ive tried EVEN in 2024!?! like i tried blackshark v2 pro, YUCK sound. No hypersense feels like everything is boring and dead, bass is hideous. Kraken V3 Pro? Better than blackshark soundwise, has hypersense.. but still doesnt sound nearly as good! Like im no audiophile in terms of understanding how sounds work and all that, but im a big audio whore. I have not tried a better sounding headset yet i rebought my last nari ultimate. I bought blackshark v2 yesterday and i am officially returning it after listening to how nari ultimate sounds next to it...
I am so upset at razer for discontinuing this model... Like please! Just add USB-C, Better batteries, and better buttons/volume wheels to this thing and it would be the god headset.. its all just small little infuriating things that are incovenient, yet so easily fixed... ugh
@@filipescp96 I agree, it was hard to adjust to the krakens at first but there were a few things in the naris that I couldn't live with, was just hoping they'd release a new model that had the same sound as the naris but with better features :/
I think i will buy the v3 pro but 210 bucks... holy shit
yeah it's a wild price tag :(
Echo?
There is no echo
Naris had echo i was so upset when all my friends were mentioning it to me but thankyou for your review🤙🏽
@@kos_parasite9191 oh I never had a problem with echo on the naris either, is there a better way to explain the echo you're hearing?
@@ZathrosTech Gauranteed same issue I had with my wife's i explained up above, the hypersense/sound volume itself was so damn loud on the Nari's that it would always trigger voice activation or playback through the mic into the chat software like discord, causing her voice to be washed out or have echos at times as well. here's to hoping the new mic doesn't have this issue!
i like your cat
guys voice cracking all over the place
Be the first to do kaira pro for ps5
I don't own a ps5 sadly :(
useless
One of the worst incomplete reviews. leave questions to be answered. Look for another review. sorry.. Hey thanks for trying!
i'm sorry :( This was my first ever review video and I really want to try to make them better for the future! any suggestions on what could make this video better? I hate it cuz I had figured out things to put in the video right after i uploaded it and I couldn't really take it back unless I just made a part 2 I guess
@@ZathrosTech Yeah, but that's... Listen. You were great. That's a critic. This is something you're gonna have to get used to. Believe me, I know. Spider-Man gets attacked all the time.
@@riggerrogger101 This isn't about you. It's about me. It's about my career.
@@ZathrosTech I know, and I'm just saying, you can't let it bring you down. You just gotta believe in yourself. You pull yourself together, and you get right back on the horse.
@@riggerrogger101 Don't give me the horse thing. Try to understand how I feel. It's just... I look at these words, and it's like my father wrote them.
For someone with so many issues with razer products in the past its weird how much razer products you own
Lmfaooo yeah i have a problem, I do like the products but the issues I have with them are very annoying, but I feel like it's bound to happen with tech like this, I just choose to stick with razer but if I were to go with other brands ik I'd have problems randomly with some of those items too
In his defense too, I have transitioned from owning Logitech to Razer products, got their newest wireless keyboard and trinity mouse, best things ever (even the dumb charging dock). Now, I have Astro A50 wireless headsets, v1 with the base stand, and they've been the best quality headsets for like... 5 years now, but starting to have issues.
Bought my wife Razer Nari Ultimate (also to test for myself as well for an eventual upgrade), but I'm sorry for multiplayer they were horrible. Mic quality was worse than trash, and those things were so loud that you had to turn the sound almost off to never transmit any sounds through discord (even RMA'd them, next set was like, 15% better, but still horrible). Playing single player ya, they are great.
Bought the new wired Black shark for her, they turned out great with a good mic (wired version). Quality of sound I'd give a 7/10 though, and no hypersense.
Anyways Razer won my love with their trinity mouse and going wireless and all plus the keyboard (which is USB-C BTW! @Zathros). They also got the best RGB software to be frank. used to love my all aluminum hyperelite keyboard or w/e it was called, but 2x USBs slots, ooph... I want a good Razer headset that's wireless AIO, so gonna bite the bullet on this.
Also to add, Razer has the best Wireless products with RGB, 2nd to them really is all Logitech products (non-wireless, have not tested their wireless products except for their headsets and all failed within 6 months, RMA'd, same crap) as they are sturdy products and have a great "feel" and weight that I still miss.
@@Ardanza21 razer make the best mice u can buy and above average keyboards. Razer delivers exactly what you should expect audio wise as they are not an audio company. Gaming headsets are a fight for the best 5/10 mic and sound quality.
@@sexymajesco I'm not expecting them to come out to be studio quality, just referencing between the major gaming peripheral brands, heck even the ones off Amazon that are no-names. Out of all them overall, Razer and Logitech have always outperformed. Mouse construction quality of a Razer is crap to Logitech's, but I also love heavy and metal-like mouse. If the RAT Cyborg mouse was wireless and had the functionality of the Razer Naga Pro, 100% would switch (as long as they had other peripherals of the same brand).
I'm not big into having 3x different softwares running to control mouse, keyboard, and headset, so unfortunately Razer has the top spot for KB/Mouse for me. Naga Pro - can't beat swappable plates for different gaming and the customization and macros you can do, just too plastic and not metal feeling. Blackwidow v3 Pro - pretty solid, just not an aluminum body that I miss. Already ordered these headsets, so here's to hoping MP with hypersense on isn't 100% trash (or a way to mix incoming chat or specific softwares to be 100% no hypersense)
