Kraken V3 PRO Charging issue

I was worried you were going to say that! Is nothing any better at all? What are you going to do now?

Yeah after what i read on the internet i was worried as well. It is exactly the same, and razer support this time is horrible. After all the reference they are going from scratch...i dont get it. So i opened new case, i am literally afraid that due to this charging issue i cannot leave it as it charge over and over again. This can harm battery and start fire, im not gonna risk it in my household. Now i think they will not allow me to return it and im gonna be stuck with it...

Got my RMA today finished and delivered.... it did not solve anything. I highly suspect it is a problem of FW in terms of charging issues, maybe also the poor audio balance

I can't seem to get this headset charged up completely. I'm using the included cable on a 5V 2.4A USB port. Charged overnight and this morning the LED is still blinking.

On a related note, the Synapse app only shows a tiny battery representing the charged state. How about a percentage (%) indicator?

I've notified our Support Team and shared this post. Thanks for kick-starting this thread.

Same issues with charging, but I'm in the process of RMAing right now for different issues.

After testing out the haptics, I realized that if I switch haptics while listening to any media the haptics go wonky and the headphones start rattling really badly. The only way to fix this is if you stop the music, turn the haptics off, then back on again to the desired level, THEN start the music/media again.

I've tested this on two different PC's and tried both 3.5mm and USB dongle, same results.

It's really a shame because they sound great in general. I'm worried these are being held back by very poor QA and proper testing; this is Razer's only and last chance for me personally. As a side note, being able to see your headphone's percentage is a must, and being able to switch haptics using the haptics button on the headphones must work as intended for $220 (with tax). Cheers

Yeah same issue here and I've seen reports of this on a few reddit posts. I'm thinking this and the battery issue can probably be fixed with firmware udpates. I'm going to keep mine for awhile and see how it goes.

Having the same problem. Won't charge fully. Another issue is when I've disconnected the charger cable the battery icon still goes up and down as if it's charging, but it knows it's not plugged in any more, as the lightning symbol disappears when disconnected.

It also gave me issues with Synapse. That got corrupted after a Warzone crash and I had a hell of a time getting it sorted. It seems this headset has issues. If they don't sort it out in the next version of Synapse, I may have to send them back, as they're too buggy for me at that price point.

The THX Audio is also not very good IMHO. Very tinny and the audio cues are off somehow. My Nari Essential headset seemed to be better (albeit massive). So, altogether Razer has some work to do.

Got mine RMA'd today, or to be precise, received number and prepaid label for DHL and already sent them back to replace the device. I am sad as overall they are great if i wont count also synapse issues.

No percentage indicator in the app yet. I reached out to Razer Support two weeks ago about this, and they said it's not available. They couldn't or wouldn't tell me if it was coming soon in an update or not. I hope it does soon. I hate not knowing the battery percentage! Spent almost $200 for it and this feature not available! I have the new wireless keyboard and the wireless ultimate mouse, both of these have the battery indicator, so not sure why the headset wouldn't...

My question is can we charge this headset using our phone charger or any wall charger, what is the maximum and minimum power charging requirements? I cant seem to find this information anywhere. Would be nice if I can charge headset using my phone charger so it charges faster then using a 5V 2.4A USB Port on the PC.
