Razer Unveils Kraken V4: A Wireless Gaming Headset With RGB Flair
Razer, the renowned gaming hardware manufacturer, has unveiled the latest addition to its iconic Kraken series of gaming headsets - the Razer Kraken V4. Available for purchase now, the wireless headset boasts a range of impressive features and a compelling price point.
The Kraken V4 sits comfortably in the mid-range price bracket, retailing at £179.99. Razer has also announced a wired variant, the Kraken V4 X, which will launch later in the year for a significantly lower price of £79.99.
The Kraken V4 presents itself as a versatile option for gamers, boasting three connectivity options: Razer HyperSpeed Wireless via 2.4GHz connection, Bluetooth, and wired. This allows for compatibility with a wide range of platforms, including PlayStation consoles, Nintendo Switch, PC, Steam Deck, and mobile devices.
Razer has incorporated its signature titanium 40mm drivers in the Kraken V4, promising "exceptional highs, mids, and lows that do not muddy, providing a rich listening experience for deeper immersion."
The headset further enhances the audio experience with support for THX Spatial Audio. This feature delivers an expanded soundstage, ideal for creating a truly immersive experience in single-player games, or providing a slight advantage in competitive multiplayer matches.
No Razer headset would be complete without a touch of RGB, and the Kraken V4 does not disappoint. This latest model marks the first time Razer has implemented 9-zone earcup lighting in a headset, providing richer colour detail and a more captivating RGB effect overall. Users can customise the lighting pattern to their liking through the Chroma Studio software.
With its impressive feature set, including enhanced RGB lighting, THX Spatial Audio, and premium titanium drivers, the Razer Kraken V4 has the potential to be a strong contender among the best wireless gaming headsets available.
The Kraken V4 X, offering wired connectivity and a more budget-friendly price, is set to become a popular choice for gamers seeking a high-quality audio experience without breaking the bank. The release of the Kraken V4 X is anticipated during Q3 2024.
