RAZER Kraken V3 HyperSense Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2021-11-22

The Kraken V3 HyperSense shares a lot of features with the Nari Ultimate we have reviewed back in 2020, but we have found the haptic feedback to be more balanced, while with the wired version we do not need to keep charging so quickly (Nari Ultimate Lucio Edition needed a full recharge at every 8 hours). The microphone has been improved noticeably, while the vibration effect modes can be switched with accessing the hardware button, without the need of accessing Synapse software at all.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

Kraken is one of the most known headset series from Razer and recently they have released V3. The wired versions include a V3 vanilla but also a V3 HyperSense, which is equipped with haptic drivers in each earcup to enhance immersion even more. Both models come with THX Spatial Audio but also the Razer HyperClear Cardioid microphone, also in charge of suppressing the extra background noise.

 

Razer is shipping the Kraken V3 HyperSense inside a medium-sized cardboard enclosure with the signature color scheme; on the top cover we will learn of the 50mm TriForce drivers, THX support but also of the HyperSense feature. Of course, here we will get the list of compatible platforms (PC, Mac, Playstation) but also the fact that it features Razer Chroma RGB:

 

 

 

On the side of the box, Razer does give the user a better insight on the included haptic technology and the fact that it works without installing any software; the on-headset intensity control is all that it needs!

 

 

 

Moving on, we do have the full list of technical specifications, the box contents but also system requirements:

 

 

 

A more in-depth view of the headset can be spotted on the back, with extra details:

 

 

 

After unsealing the box and lifting the top cover, we will get to see that the main product is held secure inside black sponge material:

 

 

 

Regarding documentation, we will find a small product description written by the one and only Min-Liang Tan:

 

 

 

The user manual will help the user on the initial setup with explanations and lots of drawings:

 

 

 

The Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense is a wired headset, sporting an all-black color scheme; there is another model available from the same series, the Pro, which adds the wireless option but besides that it is mainly the same. The cups are closed in the back and the microphone is fully detachable, not integrated as we have seen with many units from SteelSeries:

 

 

 

The exterior of the cups does come with an RGB-enabled segment in the middle, while on the outside we will spot a dotted layout. This design is quite subtle and pleasant to the eye:

 

 

 

On the outside headband frame, we will not the HyperSense feature highlighted by the manufacturer:
