The Razer Kraken V3 Pro Wireless is the wireless brother or sister of the Razer V3 HyperSense. Like this model, the Pro has RGB lighting that can be changed and a HyperSense haptic bass feature that lets you add vibrations to the sound while you play, which can make the sound more immersive. But setting this mode to “Low” or “Medium” doesn’t make much of a difference.
Using the “Low” setting, they have an excited sound profile that makes sounds like footsteps louder and the dialogue in cinematic cut scenes stand out more. Still, the software that goes with them has a lot of ways to change the sounds if you want to. They have very low latency and can run on a single charge for more than 45 hours. Their boom mic works well in general, so your teammates can hear you clearly whether you’re calling shots or just talking.

Where to get Razer Kraken V3 Pro?
I can’t decide how the Razer Kraken V3 Pro makes me feel. In its default state, it’s fine, with plush foam earcups and an adjustable steel headband. There are numbers on the notches of the headband, so it’s easy to remember where your best fit is. While the headset felt a little bit tight after a few hours, it was fine for everyday work and play, even with glasses on.
On the other hand, everything changes when you turn on the haptic feedback. In general, the Kraken V3 Pro does for your ears what a vibrating controller does for your hands. It amplifies every gunshot, explosion, or bass rhythm with a jolt of haptic feedback. You can program the headset to do this for games, music, movies and TV shows — or for none of the above.
As we’ve already talked about, the Razer Kraken V3 Pro’s haptic feedback is the most unusual thing about it. Apart from that, though, the Kraken V3 Pro is a customizable and versatile headset. With its wireless USB dongle, you can connect it to a PC, PS4, PS5 or docked Switch; with its 3.5 mm cable, you can connect it to a phone or Xbox controller. While the 3.5 mm sound quality isn’t as good, some expensive PC headsets choose to eschew this option entirely.
