Razer Unleashes the Kraken: Meet the Kraken V4 and V4 X Headsets

Razer™, a leading name in the gaming lifestyle, introduces its latest innovations: the Razer Kraken V4 and Razer Kraken V4 X gaming headsets. Continuing the legacy of the Razer Kraken line, which began over 12 years ago and has sold over 20 million units globally, these new headsets promise to elevate the gaming experience with cutting-edge features, striking lighting effects, and versatile connectivity.

Three Connectivity Options for Ultimate Flexibility
The Razer Kraken V4 offers Razer HyperSpeed Wireless, Bluetooth, and USB connections, ensuring seamless audio across a variety of devices, including PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and mobile phones.

Whether using ultra-fast 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, or a wired USB connection, gamers can expect uninterrupted gameplay and full immersion.

Advanced Microphone for Crystal-Clear Communication
The Kraken V4 features a retractable Razer™ HyperClear Super Wideband Microphone, inspired by the award-winning Razer BlackShark V2 Pro.

This next-gen mic captures exceptional voice detail with a broad frequency range, providing high-definition, professional-quality audio. When retracted, the mic stays flush with the earcups, maintaining a sleek and unobtrusive appearance.

Razer™ TriForce Titanium 40 mm Drivers
Equipped with Razer’s patented TriForce Titanium 40 mm Drivers, the Kraken V4 delivers exceptional audio clarity across highs, mids, and lows, avoiding muddiness and enhancing the gaming experience.

The innovative 3-part driver design ensures powerful, dynamic sound for a deeper level of immersion.

THX Spatial Audio for Superior Positional Sound
The Kraken V4 incorporates THX Spatial Audio, offering advanced 7.1 surround sound that provides realistic positional audio and optimizes game sound design. With a custom-tuned THX Game Profile for over 60 popular titles, gamers can experience a tailored auditory environment that enhances every detail of the action.

Game/Chat Balance for Precise Audio Control
An on-earcup game/chat balance button allows users to quickly adjust and control the volume mix between in-game audio and voice communications. This feature ensures gamers can manage audio levels effectively, avoiding overwhelming sounds during crucial gaming moments.

Dynamic 9-Zone Earcup Lighting
The Kraken V4 is the first Razer headset to feature 9-zone earcup lighting powered by Razer Chroma™ RGB. With 16.8 million colour options, users can create stunning lighting effects such as “Wheel,” “Starlight,” and “Fire,” previously unattainable with single-zone lighting.

Customization is available through Chroma Studio, compatible with over 300 games and 500 devices from more than 50 partners.

Introducing the Razer Kraken V4 X
Alongside the wireless Kraken V4, Razer introduces the Kraken V4 X, a wired RGB headset designed for comfort and immersive audio. It features Razer™ TriForce 40 mm Drivers for lifelike sound and a retractable Razer™ HyperClear Cardioid Mic for enhanced voice clarity.

Advanced 7.1 surround sound provides true-to-life acoustics, while hybrid fabric and leatherette memory foam cushions ensure long-lasting comfort and noise isolation. The convertible Type C & Type A cable offers multi-platform versatility, and Razer Chroma™ RGB provides extensive visual customization.
