Two weeks ago, I heard over Skype that I would be reviewing the Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 gaming headset. I mention this because, at the time, I was wearing the original green Razer Kraken Pro, a headset that has served me well for many years.

Sturdier aluminum chassis; Finally ditches the streetpunk look of its predecessors; Better audio than the old Kraken, especially after EQ adjustments;

Bulky looking; Out-of-the-box audio is flat and lifeless; No volume controls;
