The verdict

The Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense is a comfortable and versatile gaming headset. It has a number of exciting features that set it apart from the competition, but unfortunately, not all of them are worth the extra cost. THX Spatial Audio is impressive, but is exclusive to Windows, and the HyperSense haptics won't be to everyone's taste. Despite that, it's still a solid choice for the more adventurous gamer.

✓What we like

✓7.1 channel surround sound

✓Comfortable for long gaming sessions

✓Detachable microphone

✓Sounds great in a variety of use cases

✕What could be better

✕Surround sound is only available on Windows

✕HyperSense haptics are very hit or miss
