KRAKEN V3 HYPERSENSE WIRED USB GAMING HEADSET
If you’re familiar with Razer, you’ll know that HyperSense, the brand’s intelligent haptics ecosystem, is particularly special. So, when we saw that Razer’s Kraken V3 headset had a HyperSense model, we knew it would quickly become an audio favourite of ours.
What does it mean to have a headset powered by haptic technology? Imagine being able to feel what you hear – rumbling explosions, whizzing bullets, the ground shifting beneath your feet. It’s similar to when your game controller used to shake in your hands and you got the fright of your life when a monster appeared … but this time it’s in your head. That said, it isn’t an overwhelming experience – the Kraken V3 HyperSense headset is all about multisensory gaming that feels natural. Each ear cup is fitted with cutting-edge haptic drivers that convert audio cues into vibrations, and what’s particularly impressive is that this isn’t something that requires additional drivers or complex installation. This is intelligent audio processing that works across games, music, and movies. This technology is for anyone who’s looking for a much more immersive audio experience, which is advanced even further by the 7.1 surround sound and true-to-life acoustics. Sure, the device might be wired, but when you experience the haptic feedback, you’ll realise that slight compromise is worth it.
