Razer has chosen a black-on-black color scheme this time around, which is suitably understated save for the large RGB badge that adorns either cup on the Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense. Of course, there’s no accounting for taste, especially when you consider the memory foam and leatherette construction, as well as the steel-reinforced headband. As a result of the lighting. Unsurprisingly for a premium Razer gaming headset, the Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense is also extremely comfortable for extended periods of time, with no pinching of the head or ear soreness that can occur with some cheaper gaming headsets made of less premium materials. The overall build quality is to be commended, being a significant step-up from the Razer Kraken Tournament Edition and the subsequent X line of budget models in the range, so if you’re looking for a long-lasting headset, the Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense definitely delivers. The haptic in-ear feedback, or HyperSense technology, is the Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense’s standout feature. This provides an adjustable level of physical responsive rumble that adapts to your games and music in real-time. I’ll preface my next point by saying that for almost three years, my daily driver headphones were the Skullcandy Crushers, one of the first and most popular headphone models to feature haptic feedback, and quite frankly, the sophistication of the HyperSense built into the Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense blows them out of the water. The Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense includes the same 50mm TriForce Titanium audio drivers found in many of the brand’s more recent gaming headsets, such as the excellent Razer BlackShark V2, and they sound just as good here. The sound prowess on display has a genuine sense of warmth, depth, and clarity, with faithful and accurate audio reproduction across the board. Headset microphones will never compete with the best gaming microphones, but the detachable cardioid microphone on the Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense does a good job of making you sound as clear and loud as you need to be.
