While I was jazzed about the novelty of getting 7.1 audio in a pair of $50 headphones – and analog ones at that – I’d describe the overall effect as subtle. I found that the headphones are, frankly, a little disappointing. I also felt that extended gunfire, with its high end pop, fatigued my ears to the point that I needed to take breaks from the action lest I get a headache from the mix that the Kraken X was sending to my ears. But for the meat of the game, the headphones sounded too bright, with not nearly enough punch both in the bass and midrange. Sound was adequate, and especially solid for in-game dialog and voiceover. Plugging into my old standby, Wolfenstein, I found that the headphones are, frankly, a little disappointing. The analog cable allows it to work with the PC, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, and even your smartphone, assuming you still have a headphone jack. The Kraken X is a multi-platform headphone.

(There’s a card in the box which has an install code for the software.) There’s not much to see here – install it, activate it, and then choose the output device that the headphones are connected to.

It’s only available on Windows 10 64-bit PCs, and to enable the surround, you need to install Razer’s 7.1 sound utility. But perhaps the most surprising feature is that it supports 7.1 surround sound – after a fashion. The Kraken X is an analog device, so it doesn’t come with any sort of audio command center. It’s serviceable, but a removable microphone would be less distracting (this one was almost always in my peripheral vision).
The microphone isn’t removable either – it’s a flexible stalk that you can position as needed, or bend out of the way when you don’t need to talk. Razer includes a Y-splitter which doubles your run length to about 9 feet in total, which is surely more than enough for most rigs. But before you worry that won’t be long enough, keep in mind that for most PCs, you’ll probably need to split the audio into separate headphone and mic jacks. Moreover, another cost-conscious decision is that nothing here is removable. Perhaps Razer’s biggest concession to the price point is what’s under the hood the cans are powered by 40mm drivers, which is pretty typical in this price range. The controls are around back where they’re easy to find by feel, and the volume dial turns smoothly, neither stiff nor sloppy. The left earcup is where all the action is – you’ll find the audio cable, integrated microphone, volume control, and mute button. Given how lightweight this headset is, any more padding might be overkill. But while you won’t find breathable mesh fabric or stitched leather on board, the headband is (very) lightly padded on the top, and the earcups have generously thick memory foam. Headphones in this price range generally tend to skimp on comfort features. The headband extensions have numbered detents so it’s easy to keep the two earcups symmetrically extended. Available in any color that rhymes with black, the top of the headband is etched with the Razer name, and the cups encircle the Razer logo with a snazzy honeycomb pattern. Though it’s all plastic from stem to stern, the Kraken X looks great (though I have a fondness for understated aesthetics, so your mileage may vary). Razer even warns you about this in the quick-start guide. Even the headband and earcup assembly are plastic, which suggests you shouldn’t go crazy with stretching it when you slip it onto your head. No doubt, the molded all-plastic construction helps un-tip the scales. The regular Kraken are 0.71 pounds, so it's a big difference. The first thing you’ll notice is how incredibly lightweight it is – 8.8 ounces, or just a hair over half a pound. Trimmed, slimmed, and reduced, the Kraken X is a lighter and cheaper headset that retains the overall aesthetics of its bigger brother.
