The HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II is a better gaming headset than the Razer Kraken Pro V2. The HyperX is one of the better-built and most comfortable gaming headsets we've reviewed so far. It offers great value for the price and has a better sound quality than the Kraken.
The SteelSeries Arctis 1 are slightly better wired gaming headphones than the Razer Kraken X. The Arctis have a much better-balanced sound profile and leak less audio. On the other hand, the Razer feel slightly better-built and more durable, and feel much more stable on the head.
The Kraken X is hardly perfect, due to its unimpressive music performance and unremovable mic. But for $50, it's an extremely solid headset, providing good in-game sound and a comfortable fit for hours on end. Its design is attractive and much more restrained than some of Razer's other audio peripherals.
From his custom Origin PC to his Ghost gaming mice, almost everything in his studio is a PewDiePie special edition. But one product that's most prominent in almost all his videos are his Razer headphones. As his channel was beginning to become more popular, it's easy to see he's been using mostly Razer products.

If you want to switch up the lighting, you'll need to install the Razer Chroma RGB app for Android and iOS — separate from the Razer Audio app that's used for EQ adjustments and customizing the touch controls. Static: the RGB lighting will stay on whichever color you choose.
As the Razer Hammerhead true wireless earbuds use a Bluetooth connection, you don't just have to use them with smartphone games, either, but with PC and PS4 games as well.
The Razer Hammerhead USB-C powered active noise cancellation (ANC) in-ears deliver the noise cancellation capabilities of larger headsets without the bulk.
So, assuming the battery case has a full charge when you set out for the day, you're looking at 15 hours of battery life (though the buds take as long as 1.5 hours to fully recharge).

The Hammerhead Duo sounds fairly good for games, and good enough for music. The device works with pretty much any system, thanks to its 3.5-mm audio jack and decently long cord. But finding a comfortable fit isn't that easy, and the earbud set is a little light on extra features.
Will this work with PS4? HyperX CloudX headset works equally well on PlayStation 4 platforms. Connect headset main cord straight to PS4 game controller 3.5mm audio jack. Use headset inline audio controls to adjust headphone sound levels and mute/activate the mic.
While Razer considers its $69.99 Hammerhead Pro V2 a gaming headset, it doesn't quite fit the familiar mold. Most gaming headsets are simply over- or on-ear headphones with boom microphones.
