Tune-up Your Gaming With The New RAZER KRAKEN V2

Razer recently announced the all-new Razer Kraken Pro V2 and Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 gaming headsets, re-designed with custom-tuned drivers, unibody aluminum frame, and enhanced comfort to meet the ever increasing demands of e-sports athletes and enthusiast gamers all over.

Improved audio performance in the Razer Kraken V2 headsets center around two custom-tuned 50 mm drivers. These are larger than those found in previous generation Kraken headsets, delivering a wider frequency range that is perfectly balanced between in-game audio and team communications.

 The Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 also features an advanced 7.1 virtual surround sound engine that allows complete customization to pinpoint positional audio specific to an individual gamer.

The Razer Kraken V2 headsets are fitted with a unibody aluminum frame that is arguably more durable and flexible than most common headsets in the market.

These frames have been tested extensively, meaning you can count on it to handle a bit of rough handling, specially in those tense teamfights.

The headband supports a well balanced weight distribution and reduced clamping force to maximize comfort during lengthy gaming sessions.

The ear cushions are larger, softer, and better sound-isolating than before. In addition, they are easily interchangeable, with a choice between circular or oval shaped-designs(Sold Separately) allowing for a personalized fit.

In addition, the new ear cushions feature special inmold channels which enable specs-wearing gamers to wear the headset free of strain after extended game play.

The microphones on both the Razer Kraken Pro V2 and Kraken 7.1 V2 offer a unidirectional recording pattern and convenient retractable design.

Unique to the Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 is an active noise-cancelling digital microphone, activated via Razer Synapse, which allows gamers to communicate clearly even in a room filled with chatter like, say, a LAN party .
