Unpacking. What is inside the Kraken V4 Pro box?
As usual in Razer, The Kraken V4 Pro box includes everything you need to enjoy the experience. That is to say outside the helmets themselves, which include a retractable microphone which differentiates it from other models, the control center with an OLED screen is included, which serves as a connection to the devices instead of the typical switch USB dongle (3.5 mm connectors)
All cables come in a bag of fabric that serves as a transport bag for helmets If we decide to make them travel to transport them in a backpack or suitcase. It is true that a rigid case would have been better, but we would then have a box of too large proportions.
How are the Kraken V4 Pro?
To get an idea, The Kraken V4 Pro has the characteristic design of the Kraken range of a life but updated and updated. Updates give it a more relaxed appearance and make them go through any shell and not a specific game. This is special in design with less wide and striking forms. And, although he has RGB on the sides, he can be disabled at any time so that he goes even more unnoticed if we do them on the street.
As for materials, He has a fairly generous tiara And very comfortable which practically does not show. This allows the distribution of the weight of being very well done and, with it, that you barely feel them when you take them and do not care at all.
Other fundamental elements are metal hinges, with a 90 ° turn capacity, or synthetic skin, which covers both the banner and the two headphones. This type of material seems to us the perfect choice, because, although we have tried them in winter, it does not generally give heat and does not allow us not to sweat while we use them.
Helmets have a series of buttons that allow us to control certain aspects. In the left helmet are both the day of the volume and the USB-C connection, the ignition button or a multifunctional button that we can configure. In addition, this is where the retractable microphone is.
In the law, on the other hand, the Sensa button, which allows you to change between three levels of intensity and another multifunctional which will allow us to choose the audio profiles when we change the environment, for example, from a game to a film.
As of Control center with OLED screen we find a small black box This allows us to connect to three different audio sources. In addition, its main function is to allow us to configure various aspects of the helmet without having to go through the synapse. To do this, we have a huge dial which will allow us to raise or reduce the different elements to configure, in addition to a button to change between the options.
Among the possibilities that count There is to increase and reduce volume, modify the sound profile, haptic response, different sounds, intensity or audio source. All this through its monochroma oled screen.
In short, although it does not offer as depth as synapse, Yes, this allows us to adjust a series of values to be able to adapt to the game at the time Without having to disconnect and connect the helmets to another device to adjust everything with the Razer application.
Sound and experience at the top of the best
Perhaps the most fundamental aspect: How are these Kraken V4 Pro? Like all other aspects, it has a spectacular premium configuration. The two headphones They incorporate 40 mm biocellulose triforce pilots, This allows the audio to feel warmer and more pleasant.
In addition, the sound profiles (which we can configure and modify) focus on different aspects depending on the support in which we are. SOIn games, it prioritizes elements such as stages or sounds in front of the greatest objective of balance that we find in the musical profile. On the other hand, in PC incorporated the sound of space Thank you spatial, with which he identifies where the sound and reproduces it comes from so that we listen to these elements only from his direction. Without a doubt, a spectacular immersion.
We have to add Haptic vibration incorporated with Razer Sensa. A characteristic that is only present in these cases and that It allows them to vibrate more or less according to the chosen mode and what we reproduce. And that includes any media, whether it is a film, a song or a game.
This vibration is independent of sounds and corresponds to each situation. In the games, there are not many that have already implemented Razer Sensa, but in which they do it, The experience increases. Especially because it complies with specific moments when it was confused, such as loading an attack or opening a trunk, adding new layers of sensations and immersion.
Opinion: Is the Kraken V4 Pro in your trouble?
The short and direct answer would be a resounding yes. Especially because These are headphones that carry the sound experience a little further. Even in the games that have not razer sensa (few have) playing with the Kraken V4 Pro, it is enjoying an enveloping, improved, clear and clean sound.
Either on video games, movies, music or any audiovisual content, Listening to these helmets is to appreciate them like never before. In addition, thanks to their large connection capacity with several devices, we can take advantage of it anywhere and the situation. This allows us to play our Steam library or any device while we are talking on the phone or discord on another device or listening to our favorite music from Spotify or any musical service.
And to all this, we must add elements such as RGB lighting, being able to configure and adapt the sound with the additional base or the inclusion of profiles and a large configuration from the Razer application. Everything to get an experience at the height of any situation. And, of course, the razer aforementioned Sensa HD, which adds a new experience to audio and as we think.
However, how could it be otherwise and perhaps the only point that will make more than one consider the purchase, is its price: $ 449. Practically like some of the new generation consoles and even more than others. But after a month of use and knowing everything it offers, we can say that this is one of the most complete and the best on the market. Its only but are already mentioned: that not all games take the support for Razer Sensa HD and that has no support for the Xbox series.
As an alternative to the price is the Kraken V4, without the pro, which seems just as good, but they have not razer sensa hd or the OLED screen control center. With these discounts, they remain in a large 199 $But part of the essence of a premium product designed to be used with the two options is lost.
