Razer , the world leader in lifestyle gaming, in an official release announced to the world the brand new Razer Kraken Pro V2 and Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 gaming headsets. These two restylings introduce numerous updates to the original design , so as to meet the growing demands of eSports athletes and gaming enthusiasts.

The enhanced audio performance in the Razer Kraken V2 headphones revolves around two custom 50mm drivers. They are wider than those of the previous generation, and offer a wider and perfectly balanced frequency range between game audio and team communications . Additionally, the Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 features an advanced 7.1 virtual surround sound system that allows for complete customization of each individual player’s exact positional audio.

The Razer Kraken V2 headphones are built with a new aluminum unibody structure, more resistant and flexible than other materials commonly used for this type of peripheral. It has long been tested to withstand falls, extreme bending and all kinds of “mistreatment”. The result is a durable and resilient headset that’s perfect for professional gaming.

The headband has been designed for balanced weight distribution and low locking force for maximum comfort during long gaming sessions. The earpads are wider, softer and more insulating than before. They are then easily replaceable, with the possibility of choosing between oval shapes, to be purchased separately, or circular ones. In addition, they are equipped with special in-mold channels that allow gamers who wear glasses to wear headphones without causing any discomfort even during long gaming sessions.

The microphones of the Razer Kraken Pro V2 and Kraken 7.1 V2 offer a one-way recording pattern and a convenient retractable design. Exclusive to the Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 is the noise-canceling digital microphone, activated via Razer Synapse, which allows gamers to eliminate clatter during LAN events to ensure crisp and clear communication with teammates.

On this characteristic,  Min-Liang Tan , co-founder and CEO of Razer , expressed himself as follows
