It carries a steep price, and it expects you to put in some EQ work before you hit that sweet spot, yet the payoff has been worth it during my time with it. The physical comfort has been a pleasant surprise, especially with the clear effort put into reducing ear fatigue—even across multi-hour sessions.

As a gamer and online broadcaster, this headset allows me to immerse myself in gameplay for hours. So the new Razer Sensa haptic feedback is exciting because you can feel the gameplay as you're listening.

Overall, it's a fairly comfortable headset, though it is on the heavier side at 394 g. For context, the BlackShark V3 Pro weighs in at 373 g on its own and 387 g with a detachable mic. Out of the box, the V4 Pro has a fairly balanced sound to me. Now, I just got done reviewing the BlackShark V3 Pro and the tuning on that really emphasizes the upper mids and highs.

Everything changed the moment I put it on. The OLED control hub greeted me with endless options. Over 20 ways to personalize my audio, haptics, and look. I could finally make my setup truly mine. Switching between PC, console, and phone. Effortless dual USBC ports and 3.5 mm input. I connected up to three devices at once. No more fumbling with cables or settings. And then the haptics took over.

And then you also have Razer Senset HD haptics, which is the reason why I got this headset. So that's the headset. And then here's the Bluetooth microphone. or the attach microphone and it's up to however you want to kind of form it. USB type-C, power button, volume, and a mutant button. And the other side is two more buttons. And that's it. And then here's the controlled ro volume.

I like this one a lot. It's lightweight, but it doesn't fold, which bothers me, but that's a video for another time or for the past if you want to look at those videos. But I like these because they're lightweight. This is a different type of beast.

I used the Razer Kraken V4 Pro for all my daily work, play, and music over the course of three weeks. Alongside work meetings and Spotify sessions, I tested the headset across Doom Eternal, CS:2, Apex Legends, Hogwarts Legacy, Snowrunner, and Silent Hill 2 on PC as well as Horizon Forbidden West, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Doom Eternal on PS5.

The Kraken V4 Pro pushes the envelope with haptic tech and a premium feature set, but it’s not for everyone. If you're the kind of gamer who wants deeper immersion and doesn’t mind paying top dollar to get it, this headset delivers. Just know what you’re buying: a bold step into the future of game audio, not a budget all-rounder.
