Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the Kraken 2019 for its comfort‑focused aluminum frame, cooling‑gel cushions and expansive 12 Hz‑28 kHz driver range, delivering immersive audio for extended gaming. However, they criticize its overt gaming aesthetic, lower sensitivity compared to the V2, and the absence of wireless or advanced features, positioning it as a solid but no‑frills wired option.
What Users Say
Everyday users echo the comfort and noise‑isolation benefits, especially praising the lightweight feel for long sessions and the convenience of a universal 3.5 mm jack. Common complaints revolve around the headset’s bulky size for smaller heads and its bold gaming look, which some find conspicuous in non‑gaming environments.
Common Complaints
The headset’s relatively large physical dimensions, its aggressive gaming aesthetic that draws attention, and a lower microphone sensitivity compared to newer models are the most frequently mentioned issues.
How It Compares
vs. Razer Kraken V2
Advantages
Disadvantages
Choose the V2 if you need louder output and don’t mind extra weight; choose the 2019 for lighter comfort and better frequency range.
vs. Sennheiser GSP 600
Advantages
Disadvantages
The GSP 600 suits users seeking premium audio and build quality, while the Kraken 2019 is better for those prioritizing lightweight comfort.
vs. Razer Kraken V3 X
Advantages
Disadvantages
Opt for the V3 X if you prefer a lighter, USB‑only headset; stick with the 2019 model for analog compatibility and the aluminum frame.
