Hey everyone, I've been eyeing the regular V4 for a while, but where I live it costs $250 which feels like way too much. So I started looking at the V4X for $120 instead. Is the difference between them actually noticeable?

The main thing I care about is positional audio since I play a lot of PUBG. Funny thing is, I originally wanted the regular V4 because I thought it had haptic feedback for games like Hogwarts Legacy — turns out that's only on the Pro version, lol. And on top of that they don't even sell the Pro here, so now I'm kind of lost on which one to go with, the V4X or the regular V4.

I asked an AI which one it recommended, and it told me that the Kraken V4 X was better and that I should buy the THX Spatial if I wanted it, since with the 50% discount it would cost me 10%. I honestly have no idea about this since I've never used this technology.

Go with the wired Kraken V4 X for $120. The regular V4 costs $130 more mainly just to make it wireless, which isn't worth it. 

The Kraken V4 X comes with standard 7.1 Surround Sound out of the box:https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/614

If you are buying this strictly for PUBG, I'd actually recommend skipping the THX Spatial Audio and saving your $10. PUBG already has its own 3D audio engine which will collide with THX Spatial Audio. 

Neither headset has haptics anyway, so you aren't missing out there! 😁
