USB gaming headset. This headset adopts the comfortable form factor of the Razer
Kraken Pro, tested by numerous professional gamers to determine the optimal
ergonomics for extended gaming sessions.
The full potential of the Razer Kraken 7.1 is unleashed by its advanced 7.1 virtual
surround sound engine. Driven by Razer’s powerful Synapse 2.0 unified configuration
software, this highly customizable engine modulates sound to simulate a 360° surround
sound experience, allowing you to precisely pinpoint directional audio to know exactly
where your enemies are. The headset’s 40mm neodymium magnet drivers power a

gaming immersion.
Featuring a retractable microphone hidden in the left ear cup when not in use, the
Razer Kraken 7.1 maintains a sleek form factor, all while protecting the microphone
during transportation and storage. This flexible, omnidirectional digital microphone
comes equipped with an optimized algorithm, promising a pristine voice quality
unachievable through traditional analog microphones. Boasting an impressive signal-
to-noise ratio and an extended wideband frequency response, the digital microphone
ensures a clear, natural sounding voice reproduction with minimal noise.
