It's braided, therefore hella sturdy, and it has a basic volume roller slash mic muter about a third of the way down the cord that I very much appreciate. On one hand, that's fine because I like the built-on cable. Unlike most other headsets I've used in the past, the input end of the cord is by no means detachable and therefore you're stuck with what it comes with. Cook, but you haphazardly missed your shot.

On the contrary, the Razer Kraken Pro V2 is an analog joint, wielding the forbidden powers of the 3.5mm auxiliary headphone cable Tim Cook once sought to kill. Fortunately, for Razer, the Kraken Pro V2 is as intransigent in those aspects as it is about delivering frequencies from its 50mm neodymium drivers, through its speakers, and into your ears. Oftentimes, comfort and design distinguish a gaming headset from its music-emitting counterpart.
That said, if output sound quality were of the utmost importance, I'd be here talking about headphones, not PC headsets for gaming. In some cases, the Kraken Pro V2 sounds even better than its closest rivals. However, it still comes in cheaper than the vast majority of its competitors while still offering roughly the same audio quality. At $79.99 / £69.00, its pricing suggests it belongs on the same playing field as the Turtle Beach Elite Atlas ($89.95 / £89.99) and the SteelSeries Arctis 5 ($99.99 / £89.47).
Although it was released over two years ago, the Razer Kraken Pro V2 feels like it emerged from the Razer of today – conscious of its widespread popularity outside of the traditional gamer-sphere – rather than the purely gaming focused Razer of the past.
