Razer Kraken Green
Score: 73/100
Corsair Void RGB Elite White
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Void RGB Elite Wireless delivers solid 7.1-style sound, a comfortable over-ear design and decent battery life, but suffers from a loose fit and reliance on Corsair's iCUE software. It targets PC and PlayStation gamers who value RGB integration and a lag-free 2.4 GHz link.
The Razer Kraken (2019) is a wired, cross-platform gaming headset featuring a lightweight aluminum frame, 50 mm drivers and cooling-gel ear cushions for long-session comfort. It offers software-enabled 7.1 virtual surround on PC and a retractable cardioid microphone, but lacks active noise cancellation and a detachable cable.

Professional reviewers praise the Kraken's comfortable gel-infused cushions, solid aluminum construction and decent passive isolation, but criticize its reliance on the Synapse app for virtual surround and the absence of USB or ANC features. The microphone is deemed adequate but not standout, and the lack of a detachable cable is seen as a drawback for long-term durability.
Everyday users consistently highlight the headset's comfort, durability and good gaming sound, especially for positional audio in fast-paced titles. Common complaints revolve around bass-heavy tuning, software instability with Synapse, a non-detachable cable, and occasional warmth of the ear pads.
“the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn.”
“solid, if unremarkable”
“extremely loose fit”
Professional reviewers, such as SoundGuys, view the Void RGB Elite Wireless as a solid but unremarkable entry in the sub-$100 segment. They commend its accurate mic, lag-free wireless link, and sturdy build, but criticize the extremely loose fit, the necessity of the iCUE app for essential functions, and the absence of a physical battery indicator.
Everyday users praise the headset's comfort-especially for larger heads-its immersive sound quality, respectable battery endurance, eye-catching RGB lighting, and robust durability. Recurring complaints focus on a loose fit, occasional microphone mute beeping, the requirement to run iCUE for basic controls, and the headset's bulky size and weight.
