Razer Kraken
Score: 72/100
Corsair VOID RGB ELITE
Score: 74/100Rankings
The VOID RGB ELITE Wireless delivers immersive 7.1 surround sound and low-latency wireless connectivity, but its heft and reduced battery endurance with RGB are notable drawbacks. Best suited for PC and console gamers who prioritize audio immersion over ultra-lightweight design.
The Razer Kraken (2019) is a wired headset with an aluminum frame, 50 mm drivers and cooling-gel ear cushions, providing solid sound and comfort for budget-conscious gamers. It misses wireless features, RGB lighting and has a bulky design. It fits users who want a universal 3.5 mm headset with a sturdy frame.

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.
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.
Professional reviewers consider the VOID RGB ELITE Wireless a solid mid-range option that delivers immersive 7.1 sound, comfortable ergonomics, and reliable low-latency wireless, but they caution that its weight and variable battery life may limit its appeal for marathon gamers.
Everyday users generally enjoy the headset's sound immersion, comfort, and wireless freedom, while repeatedly expressing concerns about its heft and reduced battery endurance when RGB features are active.
