WRONG PRODUCT - Not Hypersense Version - Looks similar to lower end Kraken X
This product1) Has no foam cushion at the end of Mic. Please check Razer Kraken Website and witness the evidence.2) Joint at Ear Cups has no Section: being marked as HYPER SENSE as in the actual model3) The make around earcups is no match with actual product: v3 Hypersense. It is exactly the same as Kraken v3 XDescription:-The lower end product of Razer Kraken v3 family is Kraken X which, I SUSPECT, has been sold at Amazon as Hypersense model.Even the top of Headphone being posted at Amazon as Hypersense model is quite different from the actual product being displayed at razer Website.Please do not sell wrong products in the name of expensive version.

The perfect midrange headphones
The Kraken V3 continues the trend of the previous generations but really nails it this time. The sound is beautiful, very impressive responsiveness across the range, whether its hearing every instrument of a song balanced amazingly or every detail of whats going on in a game, it effortlessly lets you experience it all. So haptics on headphones may seem potentially unnecessary, however, it's honestly a great experience. I can understand that to some people it might be a bit much if you are hyper sensitive to vibrations but even then the lowest setting might work for you, but for me it set to medium is the sweetspot. Feeling the bass in songs and the beat of drums makes it feel much more real, like you're actually there with all the noise pulsing through your body, and feeling the shockwave of explosions or the rumble of a car engine is definitely something to experience. I've briefly had to go back to another pair of headphones (simply to play games on another device and i didnt feel like setting up the kraken on it, even tho its basically instant if you already have razer synapse installed) and i found myself really missing the haptics even more so than the THX spacial audio which made my other headphones sound dull. To sum up about the haptics, they add an extra edge of immersion into whatever content you are experiencing and it's so satisfying but you'll miss it if you have to go without it for even a minute.Now the last of what i consider to be the three most important factors of a headset, comfort. Now, I'm not the biggest fan of round headphone cups, but honestly these are the most comfortable ones I've tried, it still feels strange to me (as I have mainly used rectangular for many years) but it's definitely comfortable the many hours I've had the kraken on. It doesnt make your ears overheat and the cups are soft yet supportive. Only issue I have is there's less clamping pressure than I'm used to and due to the circular shape, if i tilt my head completely down, the headphones slip and rest on the back of my ears, feeling as if they'll fall of with some average energy head shaking, but I may just be spoiled with my previous rectangular headphones which feel sturdy no matter what which made them feel more comfortable just because I could do anything and not worry about them falling off. I have the same issue with all round headphones I've tried, so if you don't have an issue with others, you wont with this because this is noticeably better than others to me.Overall, the Kraken V3 with hypersense is an absolutely amazing set of headphones, amazing quality, innovation in the amazingly tuned haptics, and decent price below what I'd consider matching level headphones from competitors. Of course they're not the best headphones in existence, as if you spend a couple to many times the price you're likely to get better clarity and surround sound from headphones with five or so speakers per ear, but you cant get much better in the same price range, if you can find anything better anyway.And to actually finish, in a place most people skip to read, best headphones for price, will probably last forever like my older Razer Electra V2. Only issue is its microphone is great for picking up voice no matter the surroundings, but it still sounds like "a high quality game chat", and is a bit worse than my electra, so perfect for game chat, mediocre for talking to friends or in meetings, and definitely wouldn't use for streaming or making content of any sort.

Not as good as I was hoping
I used to have a Razer Nari Ulitmate, which I prefered over this. However it stopped working due to a known software issue. This feels like a step down.Cons: The ear pads create a lot of rustling noise when moving, the mic does not retract.. either you have it on or you don't. It only has one channel, the Nari had a chat and a gaming channel which was useful. The height adjust isn't very stable and tends to slip on one side.Pros: However the sound quality is good, and I like it has a button to toggle the hypersense on and off.For the price, I expected better.

Not worth the money
I bought this as an upgrade from the v2 which is excellent. The v3 hypersense is simply a step backwards in major ways.First comfort, the materials used for this headset have been modified and replaced from the v2 with cheap plastic , the flexibility has been reduced and the ear cups are coated with a clearly cheaper material. The cups are also noticeably smaller than the previous version. As a result the headset becomes very uncomfortable after a short time, my ears were red hot after less than an hour.The haptic addition is nothing but a gimic, it adds nothing to the gaming experience and can become seriously annoying.The sound is the biggest disappointment, it feels muffled and takes significant custom settings to make it sound average. The v2 clarity was significantly better, I don't understand how razer can call this an improvement, the surround sound is terrible, locating other players in a game is ridiculously hard with this set.For the £129 price tag I think Razer has lost the plot there are far better sets on the market for less. After 5 years of buying razer products I'm done.

Do not buy!
There are mainly 2 problems with this product and I've replaced it once thinking it might have been a faulty headset but still have the same problem with the new one. First problem when plugged in I check my sound settings it comes up with two headphones for the same headset one called razor kraken v3 and THX spacial audio? I don't know which one to pick razor software tells be to make THX default but wen used it sounds like I'm being hacked by aliens or something horrible unable to use it then I use the razor kraken one and atleast I can hear things with this one and that leads me to the 2nd problem I keep getting crackling sounds? it's the reason I asked for a new pair thinking my first one might have been faulty but turns out even the new one has the same problem? Haptic is a really weird feature but one thing I can say if you are partially deaf like me (deaf in one ear) then I can help in a sort of way with the vibrations to the deaf ear not perfect but can help alittle. That being said I will be sending these headphone back aswell and looking for something different.
