I’ve never really been one for novelty headsets, but have always appreciated Razer’s Kraken Kitty range, but with the new Gengar edition, I’m finally on board.
The headset originally launched in Asia and was super popular, and it’s now available in Australia retailing at $229 exclusively at JB Hi-Fi as well as New Zealand, the US and other regions.
The headset is unapologetically Gengar from the box to every single part of the headset. Naturally, the headset features Gengar’s iconic hair/spikes that sit atop of the headset band with a thick rubber material that really gives them a good amount of height to stand out.
The headset itself is a dark purple with lighter purple accents on the inner headband and sides of the cushion cups, and inside of the cups have a red lining with Gengar’s original graphic in the inside which is a nice little touch. If that wasn’t enough for you, the headset also has a transparent Gengar on each side of the cup which lights up when paired with Razer Synapse. The default colour is obviously purple and in my opinion adds the finishing touch to the headset.
When it comes to the Kraken Kitty V2 itself, it’s a wired headset that takes advantage of Razer’s TriForce 40mm drivers which offer crisp highs and deep rumbly lows which are obviously perfect for gaming, and it also offers 7.1 surround sound as well, so not only is this a headset with style, but it offers incredible audio quality as well.
The headset itself is super comfortable offering great noise isolation and there’s a Razer HyperClear Cardioid Microphone as well which is designed to highlight voices whilst cutting out background noises.
The Razer Kraken Kitty V2 Gengar Headset follows in the footsteps of the recently released Pokemon Kanto range which I’m still not over, and provides a great contrast to the vibrant colourful nature of that collaboration, which you can find more about HERE.
As a reminder, the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 Gengar Headset is available at JB Hi-Fi for $229 HERE.
