Razer Intros Kraken V4 Pro Gaming Headset

Today we are thrilled to unveil the Razer Kraken V4 Pro at RazerCon 2024—a testament to more than 12 years of legacy with our iconic Kraken headset series, which has been a cornerstone in gaming audio. Joining the recently launched Kraken V4 and Kraken V4 X, the Kraken V4 Pro with its pioneering OLED Control Hub, brings a new dimension of audio immersion and control, pushing the limits of what an immersive wireless gaming headset can offer.

Engineered for Comprehensive Audio Control
Our journey in developing the Kraken V4 Pro was driven by a singular vision: to create a headset that not only provides unparalleled sound but also gives gamers complete control over their immersive gaming experience.
The centerpiece of this vision is the OLED Control Hub. Its design was inspired by audio amps and features an OLED display set at an ergonomic 20-degree angle. The Control Hub acts as a centralized command center directly at your fingertips, offering over 20 customization options. Manage audio and haptic settings, or home screen customization that includes the display of system metrics or even upload custom images and animations.

Next-Generation Audio Immersion with Razer Sensa HD Haptics
Razer takes haptic feedback beyond the norm with Sensa HD Haptics technology—offering an unparalleled ecosystem of full-body audio immersion that sets a new standard in gaming. Unlike anything else in the industry, Sensa HD Haptics enables synchronized cross-device haptic effects, turning every nuanced audio cue and gameplay action into precise, tangible sensations.

This technology is fully supported in major titles such as Hogwarts Legacy and the highly anticipated Silent Hill 2, significantly enhancing spatial awareness and the depth of gameplay. The inclusion of Sensa HD Haptics ensures that every whisper of wind or earth-shattering explosion is not just heard but profoundly felt, providing an unprecedented layer of immersion that brings you closer to the action than ever before.

The ear cushions, crafted from specialized memory foam and protein leather, are meticulously selected to optimize haptic conductivity, ensuring every vibration is felt with unprecedented intensity.


Pro-Grade Audio Drivers featuring THX Spatial Audio
Rounding out the Kraken V4 Pro's impressive feature set are the patented Razer TriForce Bio-Cellulose 40 mm drivers. These drivers have been upgraded to include a bio-cellulose diaphragm that enhances sound clarity while reducing distortion, delivering audio that's both rich in bass and sharp in acoustics across a wider range of frequencies.

With THX Spatial Audio, the Kraken V4 Pro offers advanced 7.1 surround sound, delivering realistic positional audio and expanding the soundstage. Additionally, with custom-tuned THX Game Profiles for over 60 popular titles, gamers can dive right into the action with tailored auditory settings that bring every detail to life.

Unmatched Versatility Across All Platforms
Understanding the diverse ecosystems gamers operate in today, we equipped the Kraken V4 Pro with multiple connectivity options. Whether you are gaming on a PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, or mobile device, the headset offers seamless integration. With Razer HyperSpeed Wireless for ultra-low-latency wireless audio, Bluetooth for on-the-go connectivity, USB Wired for an uninterrupted gaming, and a 3.5 mm jack for universal compatibility, the Kraken V4 Pro is truly a versatile headset designed to adapt to any setup.

The OLED Control Hub further enhances versatility by connecting up to three audio sources simultaneously through two USB-C ports and one 3.5 mm port, allowing for both 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth audio to be used concurrently, with instant source input switching to effortlessly toggle between devices like PC and PlayStation.

Crystal-Clear Communication
The Kraken V4 Pro also features the Razer HyperClear Super Wideband Mic, also found on the award-winning BlackShark V2 Pro 2023, present here as a retractable microphone that captures a wider frequency range, ensuring your voice is broadcast with crystal clarity.

This mic setup ensures that every command is delivered with precision, essential for coordinating with teammates in a competitive setting. In addition, the sleek, flush design of the retractable microphone adds to the convenience and styling of the headset.

Availability
Priced at $399.99, the Razer Kraken V4 Pro is now available and promises to be an essential tool for gamers seeking to elevate their audio experience with professional-grade sound and revolutionary control features.

I'll stick to my Shure Bluetooth headset, cheaper and sounds pretty good.

Broken Processor
All pretty standard for this price point even if it's on the more expensive side. I do like that you can have wireless and Bluetooth at same time it's been a game changer for me. But the lack of removable battery is a deal breaker I like never having to worry about battery with My Arcturus nova pro but I guess the RGB made that impossible. 399 is too expensive but I'd imagine you'd pick them up a lot cheaper on sale at some point. As long as the software is decent they will be ok but probably bass heavy like all headsets tend to bo.

The negative side of Razer headsets for me have been the build quality: too fragile, too much plastic

The good side imho they have tons of products for nearly all price points and they do the job fine for players.

I'm happy with my current setup but it's good that, at least at this price point, they offer clear demarcation points and features.
I sure hope this 400EUR headphone has good build quality and material tho
