Both audio products were ergonomically designed to give gamers the best combination of comfort over extensive use and phenomenal gaming audio, whether they\u2019re starting up an eight-hour guild raid or plugging into an MP3 player for tunes on the go.<\/p>\n<p>Just like the many popular Razer headsets before it, the Razer Kraken Pro gaming headset was field-tested by countless professional gamers and athletes to determine optimal weight for extended gaming sessions and snugness. Gamers won\u2019t find a more comfortable headset on the market, period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve made some comfortable headsets over the years, including the Orca and the Carcharias, but I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve ever developed something as ergonomically sound as the Razer Kraken,\u201d said Robert \u201cRazerGuy\u201d Krakoff, president of Razer USA. \u201cWe put the Razer Kraken through a meticulous design process and I fully believe we\u2019ve reached the pinnacle of comfort with this headset.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The left ear cup of the Razer Kraken Pro houses a fully retractable microphone boom that pulls out only when a gamer needs it, with a flexible design that allows the unidirectional mic to be adjusted to the best spot for giving strategic commands or making a quick call to a friend.<\/p>\n<p>The Razer Kraken Pro\u2019s large 40 mm neodymium magnet drivers are tuned for clear high- and mid-ranges, as well as deep bass for powerful lows. A closed ear cup design with plush circumaural padding creates superior sound isolation that allows gamers to focus on the missions at hand or have conversations uninterrupted by outside noise.<\/p>\n<p>Those looking for go-anywhere music and gaming headphones with a premium ergonomic design without a microphone need look no further than the Razer Kraken, constructed with a focus on durability to withstand the rigors of daily use, whether it is tuning out during a workday commute or providing the soundtrack on the slopes. Its lightweight design makes these headphones easy on the ears for hours on end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Razer Kraken Pro Gaming Headset<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Razer Carcharias has been said to be the most comfortable gaming headset in the world.
