The verdict

The Razer Kraken Ultimate is a comfortable, sturdy, and full featured PC gaming headset. Unfortunately, so is the Razer Kraken, which offers basically all the same features for $50 less. As time goes on, you'll see these prices fluctuate, and this may end up being a decent buy in the future.
