The sound of the competition… being crushed.

We’ve brought the Krakens to new heights by introducing THX Spatial Audio that creates realistic sounds in a 360-degree sphere around you. Basically, this means that you’ll hear your enemies coming no matter where they’re from. Combined with custom-tuned 50 mm drivers, the new Kraken TE unlocks a whole new world of sound.

Full Audio Control… need we say more?

  • Game/Chat Balance
  • Bass Controls
  • THX Spatial Audio Toggle
  • Mic Mute
  • Volume Controls

All of these at your fingertips.

Play comfortably for hours on end.

The new ear cushions comes infused with cooling gel to keep you cool in any firefight. It’s soft leatherette material and plushy cushion provides comfort and added sound isolation, so you can enjoy gaming for hours on end without discomfort.

Latest software update killed the THX channel, have restarted the USB module and various other things but the channel doesn't work.


Go to the Synapse -> Razer USB Audio Controller -> Mixer (Where all the "apps" are like Chrome, VLC Player, some of your games etc) -> scroll down a bit and press the "set default" -button.

This cured the problem I was having:

-My problem was that when I chose "THX Spatial - Synapse" from the Sound Settings in Windows 10 there was no sound, no in Youtube, not in games etc. Sounds were only working when I chose "Razer Audio Controller - Game" but then the THX Surround feature was disabled. It was quite huge difference in FPS games like Battlefield etc.

After I found this fix from Google, THX Spatial Synapse -setting began to work immediately!!

I wear quite thick glasses and after a while getting use to the new headset, it feels really good. Try to adjust the headset.

jea idk it better today, but the sound is just clearly worse than the kraken 7.1 v2 even after playing with the EQ and every avilaible setting for hours, which i didnt have to do with the 7.1 v2 which sounded amazing out fo the box and only got better when working with synapse 2.0 EQ, synapse 3.0 really feels worse to use for me.

Cant comment about the sound as I use mine only for casual FPS gaming like Battlefield and stuff. I'm not a HiFi guy what comes to the quality of the sound, I'm only interested about the "situational awareness" (foot steps etc.) in these FPS games.

But yeah, after like 2 weeks of ownership now I can use this Kraken TE for hours in my head without any issues with my eyeglasses.

and i fixed it XD, literally just used the 3.5mm jack plugged it into my PC and used synapse 2 Surround pro, and now it sounds like the kraken 7.1 v2 or even better, seems like the dingle worsens the audio, or synapse 3 just has worse audio enhancement software

I love the multiple control options on the hardware and via synapse for this Kraken TE, thank God its there in Black. I bought the black stealth. :smile_:

The only thing i feel missing is the RGB razer logo like in the Kraken V2 :frown_:

Hey guys, yesterday i bought my first Razer product, a Kraken Tournament Edition headset. After looking trough some reviews qith mixed opinions i went for it. I wanted it mostly for my PC where i SimRace. Coming from a PS4 GOLD headset, i was shocked how dull and muddy the audio quality is with the Kraken. The THX option even makes the things worse.
Somehow the drivers cannot reproduce some parts of the range, and the result is - a heavy bass (when pushed higher), muddy middles and detached highs. The EQ does not help a lot. Trying the headset with Assetto Corsa Competitione was a bad experience, where the audio is very dull and it;s like you have a cloth covering the speakers. THX was disastrous in this game, made the things even worse.

The headset itself is great, i like how it fit's me, i like the built quality, but sound quality is really low for that price tag. Is there a way i can enhance it ? I really want to find a good balance and keep the headset.

Did you try to contact Razer support, your headset may have some issues, they could change it or help you fix this.
My bad for english mistakes but i try my best.

Hi
Habe folgendes Problem. Wenn ich mein Kraken mit dem THX Adapter anschließe, an meinem Blade habe ich keine Soundprobleme. Schliesse ich es aber über Klinke an, habe ich so einen Misch Masch Sound. Der Ton wird sporadisch lauter oder leiser. Einige Töne werden einfach ausgeblendet und einige Hintergrund Geräusche hervor gehoben.
Was habe ich gemacht? Dolby ausgeschaltet und auch deinstalliert. Dann habe ich zwar nicht das Problem aber dafür klingt der Ton aus dem Lautsprecher des Blade grauenvoll.
Also habe ich den Raumklang deaktiviert und auch diesen Windows Sonic System deaktiviert aber da ändert sich nichts. In Synapse habe ich keine Änderungsoptionen gefunden.
Jemand einen Tipp wie ich normalen Sound aus den Kraken Tournament bekomme, wenn ich diese via Klinke anschliesse?

Hi
Have the following problem. When I connect my kraken with the THX adapter, I don't have any sound problems with my blade. But if I connect it via jack, I have such a mix-mash sound. The sound becomes sporadic louder or quieter. Some sounds are simply hidden and some background sounds are highlighted.
What did I do? Dolby turned off and also uninstalled. Then I don't have the problem but the sound from the blade's loudspeaker sounds horrible.
So I deactivated the room sound and also deactivated this Windows Sonic System, but nothing changes. I didn't find any change options in Synapse.
Someone get a tip like I get normal sound from the Kraken Tournament when I connect it via jack?

I won a pair of these from the November #Razerquest and couldn't wait to get them, so being the holiday season I went out and bought a pair as they where on sale! I LOVE THEM, i've been using my Astro A40's for years and wanted something new I thought I wanted wireless but I didn't like any of the wireless setups other than the Steel Series ones that come with 2 batteries that you can swap out as the headset dies (reminds me of the old Triton Warheads for the 360 my favorite i ever used on the 360).

Setting them up was a breeze, audio is way louder than on the A40's with the old mix amp, and they cancel way more outside noise (I have a 3 year old that plays/watches TV in the room with me while i game who usually is loud enough to make me miss footsteps....then die)

SO now that I have a pair already and I just received my notification they have been shipped I think I'm going to give them away during one of my streams. Its gonna make someone else super excited and happy to have such an amazing headset, especially if they don't already have one!
