Razer Kraken
Score: 78/100
Logitech G733 White
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Logitech G733 White offers feather-light comfort, industry-leading battery endurance, and a feature-rich wireless experience with virtual surround and a Blue VO!CE mic, though it sacrifices passive isolation and some console functionality.
The 2019 Razer Kraken is a wired over-ear headset with a sturdy aluminum frame, 50 mm drivers and a retractable cardioid mic. It offers solid comfort and immersive 7.1 surround on Windows, but lacks ANC, has a bass-heavy signature and a non-detachable cable.
