Preface: I know this is a frequently spoken about topic, but I am new to the community and thought id ask here.

I got a razer kraken 7.1 v2 from my friend because he never uses it. The cushion and headstrap leather is flaking off and it sticks to everything and its gross, but the mic and audio both work just fine! I know i can get replacement cups but i dont know about the headrest part of it. I was wondering if razer would take it in to get it replaced or if i should just find some local electronic store to help me replace or fix it. Because at this point its extremely annoying to use but its also such a waste since the electronic part of it is perfectly usable. Any suggesstions or help would be greatly appreciated!

I'd contact Razer Support, maybe they'll have replacement earpads for it.
But also check eBay/Aliexpress etc. probably I've seen it somewhere, but don't remember if it was for kraken 7.1 v2.
I don't believe there is a way to avoid it. It's due to normal wear and tear, such as when phones are knocked around during normal use.

You could use a leather conditioner on the material, but given how far the tearing has progressed, it's doubtful that this will assist much. However, it may provide you extra time.
I just bought mine a few days ago and am having the same problems. Although the sound quality appears to be inferior to that of the original Hammerhead, I wanted to use the audio app to try and equalize it. There was no such luck. I couldn't connect it to my account either, despite the fact that my goods appears to be legitimate. I got it from an online store.

The situation is not good. I'm also considering buying this.

Thanks for sharing your opinion. It's really helpful for me.
