First of all, I should say that I am not an expert in sound, frequencies, and other technical terms; I mainly got them with the idea of listening to music in good quality, at least much better compared to some 20-euro headphones I had a few years ago. I am fully satisfied for as long as they lasted. I got them in the summer of 2020, I've had them for 4 years, the faux leather has completely worn off, all the black parts are gone, and the cushions are bare, but that wasn't a problem for me. They have fallen numerous times, and only recently did the adjustment for the length on the left headphone completely loosen, but with a little fix, I secured it at a specific length. To be honest, I can't tell if the sound quality has diminished since I wore them daily for four years. I definitely didn't feel them gradually as tight on my head as they were when I got them, and as a result, the sound comes across a bit more distant; I have to press them a little against my ears if I want to listen louder, although that doesn't mean they don't produce clear and loud sound if I increase the volume more. I would have kept them even longer because they suited my simple acoustic needs perfectly, but the left cushion has come off its place and seems to have torn. I know I can get new cushions, but to be honest, it's time to change them since my acoustic needs are no longer limited to just daily entertainment. In conclusion, very nice headphones, booming sound and clear for the usage I mentioned, and with the application of Razer's seven-channel sound, you get a very unique listening experience that will definitely impress you when you hear it for the first time, as the sound is directional, and if you crank up the volume on your favorite track (especially I recommend those 8D audio videos to enjoy them to the fullest), you'll feel like you're at the center of the band-orchestra, and the instruments and voices will be swirling around you. Plus, if you have them loud, you'll think you're making noise, as if the music is coming from an amplifier, while in reality, very little sound will be heard outside. Of course... I don't recommend being on public transport with them at max volume because it's very likely that people will start looking your way XD. For indoor use with only a door as soundproofing, they are perfect. Very affordable as well since you can now find them for 30 euros, and the only complaint is the quality of the construction regarding durability; they are only plastic and need to be handled carefully to avoid dropping them from a great height. However, from my desk, they have survived countless falls. But at this price, don’t expect too much.
Very good headphones for their price. You can relatively easily hear the footsteps of opponents in games like (Valorant, CS, Warzone, Fortnite, Rainbow Six, etc.). The headphones have very satisfactory sound and bass as well as a very decent microphone. At the same time, they are good for music as they are quite bass-based, which is not unnoticeably bad. The only negative is the build quality as Razer has to make some "sacrifices" to provide good sound and microphone at such a price. I have had the headphones since before the first lockdown (2019-2020) and at the beginning of July 2024 , they started to crack due to the build quality and because they are not very well balanced since on one side where the microphone is, it is slightly heavier, which is not noticeable to the user but is enough to cause cracking over time(I also never used the 7.1 from the razer software). That's it :D.
Very good headphones for their price and the build quality is decent. If you hit them because they get lost, it's logical for them to break. I just had an issue with the 7.1 surround sound because my computer has Windows 11 and this is only compatible with Windows 10
I have had the headphones for two years and more, the sound quality is just fine as is the microphone. The only thing I would like is better material quality for the ear cushions. The truth is that I didn't take care of them much but still.
I bought 2 pairs. We use them for wireless shortwave. Our requirements for the headphones are lower compared to gamers, but we need a good microphone, and really, along with the adapter for each device, the sound of the microphone is amazing. Compared to the expensive Heil ones that cost 350 euros, the performance is almost the same, with the difference that the Heil pro 7 costs 310 euros more.
Another advantage is that they don't have a mute switch and volume potentiometer. These break and collect dust all the time. Anything less in the signal chain will have fewer problems.
Lightweight.
After a while, the ear sweats, but you have better isolation.
Crazy value for money. Recommended.
For the money, they are worth it! We're talking about Razer! Very good quality and both the sound and the microphone are excellent for 30 euros! I recommend them again and I critique the product for the 30 euros it costs! Finally, the photos that some people have showing that they broke easily are just nonsense; they probably just threw them away after using them, and of course, at some point, they will break or the material will wear out
After 4 years they are completely useless. Imagine that I have replaced these headphones twice because the left earphone broke and came out completely. Very good sound and bass, but terrible construction quality!
I had it for about six months and suddenly the right speaker from the headphones or whatever it is called was not working, it just stopped without even having the volume too loud, we are talking about it being at 30 and I checked the drivers and everything, nothing was wrong, what can I say
psst...you who want to buy headphones, get something else...I bought them by chance without reading reviews because my previous ones broke, I open the package and everything is beautifully and neatly packaged with stickers, bags that reseal with scratch stickers, light, beautiful, I put them on and immediately play music videos to listen to... and I realize in seconds that they have no bass...no way, no, it's not possible, I look at the package and it says to sign up, download the app and unlock the full potential of the headphones...what are you talking about, bad headphones I buy, put them on and listen, what do I need to unlock, the 7.1 surround sound and THX SOUND only for $9.99...are you kidding me, micro-transactions on headphones that someone wants to play a game and listen to some music from YouTube????? I try to do it, it says enter the serial number & package number, I copy them as the sticker writes them and it tells me wrong code because "o" can be "0" and "1" can be "I" you're kidding me...I never managed to activate it...as if I'm a 2-year-old who can't distinguish numbers, I don't recommend it solely because of the lack of bass, I got disappointed...that's it!
In December 2019, I bought these headphones due to their low price. Their sound was satisfactory, however, their build quality was terrible. After about a year, they broke even though I took great care of them. Because I needed headphones immediately, I decided to buy the same ones again, thinking that I had received a defective pair. Ultimately, after 1.5 years of use, it turned out that I was wrong as they broke again! Don't fall into this trap.
3 years owner here. I used them for so many years on Playstation 4 Pro. Until I switched to PC, it doesn't even recognize them and I don't know why. Overall, they are excellent and have not shown any signs of wear
The only thing worth mentioning is the microphone and the convenience on the head because they fit well. I do not recommend them as they have extremely poor sound and no bass at all
Very good sound quality - microphone
Very poor build quality especially for their price
The photos are clear...
After a year, they started falling apart...
I have had them for 3 years and they have held up very well, and I see some people saying that they are terrible after 8 months, if you hit them on the table because you lost the game, that's what happens
They are good headphones, lightweight, with good sound and a very good microphone. The only negative is that they have an expiration date as they are entirely made of plastic. I have bought them twice and both times they broke at the same point after about 1.5 to 2 years...

Very high-quality sound, especially for gaming. You can tell where the sound is coming from, for example, footsteps, due to the "3D" sound. It does NOT have buttons, regardless of what the picture shows. If you want the exact same headphones with buttons, then get the Kraken X, that's their only difference
After 3 years, the faux leather has peeled off and leaves pieces everywhere. I have used them less than 10 times in total. They have just been sitting in the drawer all this time.

Just broke the comb on its own, without even forcing it. Never again Razer.
I received these specific headphones as a birthday gift, and as a Razer fan, I found them to be a very nice addition. For a budget option, what you pay is what you get, and I wouldn't say they were terrible in terms of sound performance. Unfortunately, the budget cost has sacrificed the most important thing of all: durability.
The Kraken X Lite is completely made of plastic, and unfortunately not of very high quality that many have mentioned. Especially when we talk about the plastic between the speakers and the headband. Apart from the low-quality material, they are also thin, which puts them at a great risk of breaking. And after a year of use, the plastic broke. The speakers of the headphones were working fine, but I couldn't adjust how much I would open them, and I had to use the cable that carried the sound to hold them, which besides being a temporary solution, also caused some damage to the cable itself. Especially for a big name brand like Razer, it is beyond unacceptable.
In conclusion, it may be a budget choice, but I find it difficult to recommend it to others. It's better to invest for a better headset with a stronger durability than buy this.
I saw many negative reviews but I thought that they simply didn't handle them properly, dropping them or throwing them against the wall. Overall, the bass is very weak, similar to earbuds that you can get for 2€ from some Chinese brand. I thought that because they are lightweight, they wouldn't be tiring for many hours of use, but after an hour, you want to take a break from the headphones to rest. I had headphones for 20€ that were a thousand times better, but of course, after a year and countless times of dropping them, they broke. Don't buy these, you can find something similar for 15€ or get something better for the 35€ they cost.
Although it shows it in the photos, it does not have a sound button and you have to do it from the PS every time you want to increase or decrease the volume.
After 3 years of use, these headphones have reached the end of their life for me. I bought them in July 2020 and now it's July 2023. They are budget headphones but with good sound, relatively good microphone, satisfactory for music and long gaming sessions. But yes, the build materials, as everyone above mentioned, are truly unacceptable. Already in the first 1.5 years, I noticed small cracks in the areas where the headphones adjust, and luckily I took care of them. But time passed and the leather started to deteriorate (a common issue with most Razer headphones in the Kraken series), and today the headrest broke with minimal pressure. They are good for their price, they will last for 3 years if you take care of them, but unfortunately, they are very prone to breaking. In my personal opinion, go for something better, even if it's used, for the same price, otherwise, treat them like your own eyes
I've had it for 9 months with approximately 3-8 hours of usage per day.
It doesn't have as strong bass or sound quality for music compared to other €80 headphones,
but for gaming with relaxed music in the background it's perfect, especially for long periods of time.
I had no issues with the microphone, it works great.
What disappointed me is that the plastic at the right adjustment point has cracked and is ready to break,
even though I've never hit it.
