#pink headset

The Razer Quartz Collection is composed of various products ranging from microphones to mouses. Naturally, they are mostly in the color pink. Despite the numerous Quartz items available, I decided to settle on this particular product.

As of the time of writing, there are currently 4 Razer Quartz audio products including what I’m reviewing. I chose this because it satisfied my need for pink aesthetic, powerful sound system and adjustable styling.

Don’t turn down this product just because it’s meant for gaming. This is also great for educational purposes, office work, and other personal reasons. 

This is what the Razer Kraken promises to deliver:

7.1 Surround Sound

Unfortunately, since I am an Apple user, I am unable to test and try out the 7.1 surround sound. I hope Razer includes Apple users in the future in these kind of sound advantages.

Cooling Gel-Infused Oval Ear Cushions

I am unable to appreciate the “cooling gel” sensation. I cannot feel it and I think this is just a marketing ploy. However, the ear cushions are comfortable. I noticed that the Razer Kraken cushion’s material is the same as the Beats by Dr. Dre. I am worried because the leatherette cushion of my Beats crumbled overtime. I hope I don’t meet the same problem with my Razer Kraken.

Custom-tuned 50 MM Drivers

The sound system is immersive and superb. I could clearly hear every single audio detail. The tiny details I have not appreciated or taken note of before has come into my full attention since I can now discern them.

Retractable Unidirectional Microphone

The microphone is not only retractable but it is also flexible. Thanks to Razer’s tech, it can remove background noises. This is a plus for me since my professors will not be able to hear my cats’ endless meowing.

Hidden Indented Eyewear Channels

Ever since I started wearing glasses, headsets have become a total pain. Fortunately, the Razer Kraken does not let me encounter that kind of pain. My glasses fit perfectly and the cushions do not give me any kind of pressure.

The pink and gray color is aesthetically pleasing. The mixture and the choice of shades are definitely a hit for the pink lovers out there.

It also has a built-in mute button. This is absolutely perfect if you want to go on mute with just a simple touch.

The serial number of the item can be found outside the box and in the left ear cup. Removing the ear cup can be quite a daunting task at first but fret not, the cups are designed to semi-automatically return back to its shell with just a use of your finger. 

Be sure to register your Razer products via their website. Razer will ask for the serial and product number. The product number can be found at the back of the box.
