The sound quality required for headphones varies greatly depending on the purpose. For example, if you watch TV or watch videos, it will be easier to hear your voice, and if you listen to music, you will emphasize that you can play a wide range of frequencies from low to high. So where’s the point of PC gaming?

Good sound quality is the main reason to enjoy gaming music. Furthermore, in the case of interpersonal games such as FPS, it is possible to locate the enemy’s position from the direction of footsteps and gunfire, so it is important to support surround sound system. In addition, the microphone function for voice chat, which is critical for team play, is necessary, fits well, and doesn’t tire quickly even when used for a long time, and a little sound leakage that can be used even at night must also be the main requirements.

Thinking of it this way, in PC gaming, you’ll want a dedicated gaming headset that’s different from headphones for general use like for listening to music.

The “Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense” which was just announced a few days ago is one very complete product. This is a very attractive product from Razer with “HyperSense” which is attractive to “tactile” while having all the essential points of a gaming headset described above. Let’s discuss the following Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review.

razer kraken v3 hypersense review
Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review: The “Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense” is a gaming headset with a USB connection. Since this is a gaming headset, it also comes with a detachable microphone. The price on the direct selling site is USD 150 including tax.

Amazingly, it transmitted directly by vibration, not sound. You can use it in games, movies, music and online meetings. Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review.

The game controller has a vibrate function as a “tactile sensation” for some time. At first, it just vibrates, but it’s still enough to convey the feel of the gun and the impact of a crash, and without it the quality of the gaming experience is completely different.

Now, not only the simple vibration strength but also the texture can be reproduced, so it has developed so that you can feel not only the hard and soft feeling but also the heavy feeling.

HyperSense can be said to have implemented this on the headset. In particular, it is equipped with a vibration module that can express 20 to 200 Hz, and boosts bass that can be heard at the last minute.

There has been a subwoofer as a device that reproduces bass range than ever before, but the big difference is that while a subwoofer pursues sound reproduction to the last, HyperSense tries to convey it with the vibration itself, not with the sound.

At first, I thought it would vibrate around my ears like a vibrating smartphone, but this is a completely different matter. The vibrations that follow with the booming bass are very natural, and the sense of presence is enhanced. In addition, this vibration module operates independently on the left and right. When shooting from the right, only the right direction vibrates, so the three-dimensional effect when combined with the surround is outstanding.

Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review: Unlike simple vibes like “traditional touch technology” on the left, “HyperSense” on the right allows for rich expression.

If you’re looking for a closer experience, is it cinema sound? This is similar to the image of feeling sound pressure throughout the body, rather than listening to sound with the ear. Of course, HyperSense only reaches the ears, and certainly a bit of an exaggeration, but the experience is definitely on the same vector.

If you try to reproduce this with common audio equipment, it’s not hard to imagine that the vibrations caused by the bass will disturb the surroundings. Just because you can do it with just one headset, it’s worth the Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense.

Note that this particular function has a limited usage scene and is often only available in compatible apps. But don’t worry. HyperSense processes sound in real time on the headset side and automatically adds vibration, so there are no usage limitations. It can be used not only for gaming, but also for watching movies and music, even for online meetings. All you have to do is connect it to your PC via USB and plug it into your head.

The HyperSense setting is to switch between strong and weak. Vibration can be set in 4 steps, and every time you press the button on the bottom of the right ear cup, it changes in “off”, “low”, “medium” and “high” circles.

Since it can be specified with this button, it can be customized not only on PCs that don’t have “Synapse” installed, but also on game consoles such as PS, Switch, and Xbox.

Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review: The setting is “haptics power”. On/off switch and intensity can be changed

If you briefly introduce the feeling of changing power, the most effective is “high”. You can clearly see that this mode responds to low-pitched sounds, so this mode is suitable for people who want to feel the effect for a while. What I find excellent is the game with almost no BGM like FPS. If you want to experience the sound effects like shooting, it is recommended. However, because the vibration is strong, I’m afraid that the vibration will be slightly delayed from the sound.

“Medium” isn’t obvious, but it’s a well-balanced mode where you can feel the HyperSense effect strongly. The power that comes with SFX is considerable, especially as the scene changes, the sense of presence is quite good. You can not only enjoy the game in general, but also the strong music and watch movies with lots of action. When the vibrations weaken slightly, the delay is almost imperceptible, and you can feel pristine bass.

As I used to hear “low”, I didn’t feel any vibration at all. However, as the thickness of the bass changes noticeably, or rather the strength of the sound, the three-dimensional effect stands out. This is ideal for quiet movies and listening to music, where the feeling of immersion is reduced if you feel the vibrations badly. Basically, I use it on “medium”, and if I find it overkill, I find it better to set it to “low”.

The effect is related to volume in any mode. If you want to lower the volume, you can adjust the intensity to a high level without discomfort, so it’s a good idea to find and adjust the balance you like. If you are addicted, enjoying the same games, movies and music will feel very different.

The best performance as a gaming headset, THX Spatial Audio enhances the stereoscopic effect! Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review.

Of course, the appeal of the “Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense” is not only for HyperSense, but also for ordinary gaming headsets. We are particular about the most important sound quality. One of them is the adoption of “Razer TriForce Titanium 50 mm Driver”.

It is a single diaphragm that can be reproduced powerfully from low to high frequencies, and realizes natural sound reproduction with a slight decrease in certain frequency bands.

Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review: The titanium-coated diaphragm (diaphragm) can be seen through the center. It is lightweight and can reproduce high-speed response and very accurate sound.

Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review: With general speakers, it may sink at certain frequencies, but with the “Razer TriForce Titanium 50 mm Driver”, there is no drop in the wide frequency band and the expressive power is high.

In terms of realism, it supports virtual surround with THX Spatial Audio. Using this function, apart from left and right stereo, it is possible to recognize sound from a total of 7 directions, 3 directions forward and 2 directions backwards. Besides being useful for confirming the enemy’s position in fighting games, it is also interested in the film that plays a role in increasing the three-dimensional effect of the scene. Automatically selects the appropriate mode, making it easy to save automatic settings.

In addition, when listening to music, it may be recorded on a stereo premise, so it may feel strange around it. With Synapse, you can easily turn off THX Spatial Audio, so it’s a good idea to switch between the two for this purpose.

Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review: THX Spatial Audio Settings can be changed from Synapse’s “Mixer”. Not only on/off, but also the position of the 3D sound can be changed, and individual settings can be made for each program.

The equalizer function that allows you to listen to your favorite sound quality is also quite large. In particular, the “bass booster” which is good when you want to make a strong sound, the “sound normalization” which prevents sudden loud volume, and the “voice clarity” which is useful during chats are very effective. Since you can change how big each effect is, you can easily adjust it, even if you want to boost the bass a bit.

I personally like the “clarity of sound”. When this is activated, the human voice will sound slightly louder. I think it’s mainly for voice chat while gaming, but it’s also useful for watching videos with lots of conversation.

In addition, there is also an audio equalizer that allows you to freely adjust the strength of each frequency band. In addition to the defaults, games, movies, music and 4 presets, you can customize the sound to your liking.

Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review: The equalizer function can greatly change the sound quality, from changing the sound quality to amplifying the sound. Stick to your favorite sound

It’s not just the quality of the playback sound that you can see the commitment to. The sound quality of the microphone is also emphasized, and an equalizer function is also provided here.

Of particular interest is the function that prevents the microphone from picking up unnecessary sound. In addition to the pure “ambient sound blocking” function, it also has a function called “sound gate” which adjusts the microphone input volume and pushes the volume below a certain level. As a result, the sound of breathing and the sound of pressing keys when not talking is cancelled, making it useful not only for gaming but also for voice-participated online conferencing.

Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review: There are many functions that add extra sound and don’t bother the other party. It is possible to change the sound quality to make it easier to hear with the equalizer.

What makes me happy is that it has a microphone preview function, so you can hear what your microphone setup looks like now. Of course, in the end it was necessary to ask the other party to confirm, but I was grateful that I was able to work on the adjustments myself without asking someone to cooperate.

Buttons are set with emphasis on operation, Volume can be adjusted without looking for it by hand. Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review.

What I found convenient when I actually started using it is that it comes with buttons like volume. When you place your left hand on the ear cup, the volume buttons are positioned so that they are in the position of your thumb, so you can adjust them immediately without fumbling anymore.

Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review: The volume and microphone mute button is on the left. Beautiful position for quick operation with left thumb

If it’s in the middle of the cable, you’ll have to find it by hand, but it’s difficult to move the pointer to operate with a mouse from a PC. Above all, I am grateful when I watch videos and music away from the mouse and keyboard.

The microphone mute button is equipped just above the volume. It’s a switch that repeats up and down each time you press it, so it’s easier to tell if it’s off just by touching it with your finger.

The ear pads are soft. Due to its large size, it can cover the ears completely, so the burden on the ears is quite small. The pressure from the side is small, but the sound insulation is high, and you can enjoy it without worrying about sound leakage or external noise.

The headband has thick cushioning and a highly elastic fabric surface that fits snugly on the head. It’s made to not feel heavy.

Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review: The ear pads are designed to cover your ears completely. Because it has high cushioning and is soft, it doesn’t hurt your ears even if you wear it for a long time.

Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review: Beautiful balance, the cushioning of the headband is neither too soft nor too hard. The feeling of pressure in your head is minimal

The microphone is positioned so that it reaches the mouth, so that it suddenly stops when not in use. When using your PC while drinking or picking up candy, it’s a good idea to take it off. Since this is a simple pin jack type, it can be easily removed by simply pulling on it.

Of course, when you wear it, you can put it inside. There is a direction for the microphone, but the shape of the base is designed so that this direction is correct, so there are no errors.

USB cable, about 2 m. It’s a rather thick and stiff cable, but it doesn’t get tangled easily and can become a habit, so it doesn’t bother me too much.

Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review: Detachable microphone. The base of the socket is partially cut so that the microphone is pointed in the right direction.

This is a gem for anyone who wants a new experience with games, movies and music. Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Review.

The main appeal of “Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense” is HyperSense technology features, which allows you to have an engaging experience. I tried changing the strength and looking for my taste, but the impression changes greatly depending on the strength, so I can enjoy it for a while.

Conclusion
