Razer, a San Francisco, California-based gaming device manufacturer, has announced the release of its new ultra-lightweight "Kraken X For Console" gaming headset in Japan.
Ultra-lightweight ergonomic build weighing only 250g
High-performance headsets tend to be heavier, with larger drivers and more cushioning.
However, the "Kraken X For Console" is designed with an ultra-light form factor and weighs only 250 grams.
In addition to being lightweight, the headset features soft memory foam cushions for eyeglass frames, soft headband padding, and clamp force for a secure and stable grip on the user's head, ensuring a comfortable fit.
The weight of the headset becomes a concern as playing time increases, but the "Kraken X For Console" allows for hours of comfortable play.
No Compromise on Features
While there may be concerns that the lightweight design will compromise the headset's inherent functionality, there is no need to worry about that.
The headset is equipped with a custom-tuned 40mm driver that can reproduce everything from powerful sounds to faint footsteps with clear sound quality.
The microphone is unidirectional. The microphone is unidirectional and can be flexibly bent to adjust to the user's preferred distance.
The unidirectional nature of the microphone means that it does not pick up ambient noise, allowing only the voice to be heard clearly.
A headset that also offers convenience
The controls for the "Kraken X For Console" are located on the left ear cup.
The volume slider and microphone mute button are concentrated in the lower part of the ear cup. This makes it easy to operate.
The 3.5mm 4-pole stereo mini headset jack allows for connection to a variety of devices as well as PCs.
Release Date and Price
"Kraken X For Console" will be available in Japan on Friday, July 26, 2019 for 6,800 JPY and can be pre-ordered at the Razer Store.
