The Kraken V3 Pro is a terrific, game experience-enhancing headset that mixes Razer's audio pedigree with some fancy new haptics. A couple of caveats hold it back from being a true world-beater, but this is a triumph of a headset for PC gamers.
Pricey for the addition of wireless and haptic feedback Hypersense feature
