Pick-up pattern: UnidirectionalInstellenBij the first use, the headset have to be calibrated for the 7.1 surround sound. This is the program razer Synapse required. http://www.razerzone.com/…io/razer-kraken-71-chroma
The program works fine. There are multiple tabs present where the headphones can be set. There is a tab for the microphone, the sound, the equalizer, and there is a tab for the chroma features of the headset. Before this tabladen can be used, one can first the headset set to the correct 7.1 sound. This is being done where the sound can adjust so that each person has their own experience can have.
In the other settings, it is important to keep the Bass Boost off, This let the bass very much dominate. Additionally, one can have the noise level change of both the microphone and the equalizer is there for the “fine-tuning”of the headset.
Please use the headset is out-of-the-box is not the most pleasant headset to your head. The cups are pretty stiff and the headset, press fairly on the head. After a few hours, this is mostly gone, and the shells are a lot softer to the ear.
The microphone sits in the left auricle is hidden, and can, and has to be extended if this is going to be used. The microphone is easily bendable and is going to be reasonably easy to back into the auricle.
the sound is good and you can clearly hear the different angles where this is true. You can use it in shooters like CS:GO and BO III. For racing games, LoL and other genres, this is less effective. However, it gives a finer sound than a 2.1 composition.ConclusieDe razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma eiditie is a great headset that lends itself to plenty of games and applications. Where the sound quality is good and the microphone is great to use teamspeak and group discussions. You are clear to hear, and by means of a single button on the microphone itself you can mute.
The build quality is robust and sturdy and after a few hours the headset like a glove. The cups just sit around the ears, where there are quite a lot of noise is prevented. The Chroma effect on the sides is a nice feature that each game or app can be matched. whether this has added value; this is not the case. It is more of a cool gimmick.
The headset is on sale for a lwa 110 in the cheapest shop. safety 120 euro in the razer store. With the recent Razer action which a 50% discount was given, this is a sublime purchase the money more than worth. For the full price, this is a purchase that is certainly not worthy, but which one is not the best bang-for-buck.
