Razer RZ04-05180100-R3U1 Kraken V4 X Wired Gaming Headset

The Razer Kraken V4 X is a wired gaming headset built around Razer's patented TriForce 40mm driver design, which divides the driver into three sections to independently tune highs, mids, and lows. This engineering approach produces audio that maintains clarity across the frequency spectrum without the muddiness that can occur when a single diaphragm handles all ranges. Paired with software-enabled 7.1 surround sound on PC, the headset creates a spatial audio environment that helps gamers pinpoint directional cues in competitive titles and feel more immersed in cinematic single-player experiences.

The retractable HyperClear cardioid microphone uses a focused pickup pattern to capture voice clearly while rejecting background noise, and slides neatly into the earcup housing when not needed. Comfort is addressed through hybrid ear cushions that combine breathable fabric on the inner contact surface with leatherette on the outer portion for sound isolation, all filled with memory foam that conforms to different head shapes. The convertible USB cable with both Type-C and Type-A connectors makes this one of the more platform-flexible wired headsets available, working across PC, Mac, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and smartphones without requiring separate adapters. Razer Chroma RGB lighting on the earcups rounds out the package, offering full customization through Razer Synapse and synchronization with other Chroma-enabled peripherals.
