Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Wireless RGB Headset: Chroma RGB – Bluetooth 5.2-40 mm Drivers – 40 Hr Battery w/Type C Charging – Hello Kitty & Friends Edition by Razer

I love it, its authentic

This headset is everything I wanted and more. The Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT is not just adorable with its glowing kitty ears and quartz pink color, it’s also super functional. It connects easily through Bluetooth, and I’ve had zero issues with lag or disconnects.

The sound quality is seriously impressive. Music, games, and videos all sound rich and clear, and the 40mm drivers deliver great depth. The mic quality is just as good. My friends say my voice sounds super clear, even when there’s background noise, which makes it great for both gaming and calls.

Comfort-wise, it’s lightweight and soft on the ears. I’ve worn it for hours without any pressure or discomfort. The overall build quality feels solid and well made, and the RGB lighting is such a cute bonus.

For everything it offers, the value for money is definitely there. If you want something that’s stylish, reliable, and performs well, this headset is 100% worth it.

I primarily chose these headphones because they’re cute but I’ve been really impressed with the quality! My ears get sore after hours of wearing AirPods so I wanted to get something more comfortable and these definitely deliver. I can wear them all day while I work and hours of the evening while gaming or reading. They were easy to connect to multiple devices including my iPhone, my MacBook Air, my surface, my switch, and my tv. The sound quality is great and I haven’t had any issues listening to music, books, or games. They do a decent job of blocking out sound, but you’re not getting full sound elimination with these. The app is easy to set up if you want to customize the light settings. Overall I’m really happy with them!

Sound quality is terrible – connectivity issues out the gate. You wouldn’t be able to play games with this headset because of the sound cutting in and out. Unfortunately it is super cute, just stick with wired headsets from Razer.

Let me just come right out and say that overall, after just one night of chilling on Discord, these headphones knock Yowu out of the water in very general areas. Because of my past experiences, I’ll be comparing the two so you get an overall idea of what you’re getting here.

Pros:

-Lighter than Yowu Headphones. Starting with a weird point, I know. This doesn’t sound like it is a problem, until your head feels top-heavy when putting on a pair of Yowu Cat Headphones. Lighter gear is usually a sign of poor quality when it comes to electronics, but in this case, Razer nailed it. They comfortably cuff the ears, sit nice and soft on the head. By comparison, Yowu’s are a bit snug starting out, and HEFTY compared to other headphones, often feeling like theyre clamped onto your head, even with the headband fully extended. This fixes itself overtime through wear and tear, but the weight on you head and neck never changes.You will feel the weight of the Yowu headphones as you move your head around, trust me. You will not have this problem with Razer’s Kitty headphones.

-Sound Quality is… okay. It hits highs and mid range sounds pretty well, and even some lows, but I’m not gonna lie, I’m unsure if the so-so bass tones are the headphones, or my hearing. The sound overall is still pretty crisp though, external sound is dampened pretty nicely (not completely, which is fine) with a few default settings in the app to adjust your flavor of sound (I’ll come back to this in a bit.). Voices so far are crisp and clear on both ends of a Discord call, but I’ll put this through more rigorous testing and come back with my findings.

-The lighting choices and lighting modes are pretty awesome. Hands down, I had a smoother, more responsive experience with the app and adjusting color settings than I ever got out of Yowu. And that’s before the app for Yowu became entirely unusable! With Razer, it’s a super simple, almost XBox-styled affair where you can pair and name your device, choose when your headphones save battery by shutting the lights off, pick your colors, etc, etc. It’s simple, concise, works fine for what it does, and does it better. Period.

-Looks simplistic and sleek, but not so cheap that you worry about snapping the headphones in half by accidentally rolling on top of them in bed. Yes, I have been scarred by cheapo headphones, no, I’m totally not traumatized.

Cons:

-Minimal in-line (in this case, on earphone cuff) controls. This may seem like a weird complaint off the bat, but with Yowu, I had a power button, volume up/down, a pause/call button, and Lighting controls all right there in 4 buttons. It took a tiny bit of learning, but it’s simple and intuitive, and despite the app currently rotting on the Google Playstore, your Lighting effects were all right there and still available at your fingertips. These headphones don’t have this sadly. The power button and the pause/call/lights, I think? Button are all the same button. Which is a shame, but a minor complaint. The option to switch colors without the need of the app would be nice, and then maybe we could use the app for lighting patterns and more complicated displays? My point here is that not everything needs to be done through the app, simple in-line controls do the job just fine.

-The brightness of the lighting can be… slightly lacking? It’s either that or I’m just used to Yowu’s unforgivingly bright lights. Over the 3-ish years I’ve had them, I have legitimately used my Yowu headphones as a secondary flashlight during power outages. I don’t know if I’ll be able to do the same with these, and while my eyes will probably thank me later, right now I already miss using my headphones to grab a midnight snack in the dark lol

-Pairing feels… unresponsive? Easily misinterpreted? Let me explain what I mean. With most devices, it’s pretty clear from small light patterns alone when the device you’re pairing with is, well, ready to be paired with. Weirdly, it doesn’t feel Razer did this. Instead, I think it relies on a short voice over that tells you various things about the headphones, like “Connected”, or “Disconnected”. This is usually fine, but I think for me, a better visual indicator of when you’re trying to connect would be nice.

-The Multifunctional Power Button doesn’t allow for separate controls for lighting and music/calls. Cycling back to the simplicity of just having a button for that, I’d like to again point out that despite HAVING an app that no longer functions, Yowu allowed for lighting control and the cycling of lighting modes, like breathing, rainbow, flashing, and static, all through button presses. With Razer, if you want lighting control, the app is mandatory, not optional.

Uncategorized Notes:

-I’m unsure about how I feel about the volume wheel vs volume buttons. See, in this regard, Razer was pretty smart and made sure that the volume wheel softly ticks, indicating individual increments in volume, instead of sliding around. While I like this feature so far, as it pretty nicely prevents the user from accidentally blasting their eardrums out by holding down the wrong button, I’ll see how I feel about this after about a month, then come back to update. Again, sometimes the simplicity of buttons makes for a better experience, but I’m willing to keep an open mind about this.
