In terms of appearance, Razer Kraken Essential looks very impressive...

Criterias of choice

Unfortunately, not everyone is familiar with the rules for choosing high-quality headphones for a computer, phone and other gadgets. And in order to choose the best audio headset, you need to familiarize yourself with some of the criteria for these devices.

Frequency range

In the documents and on the box, there must be numbers from 20 to 20,000 Hz... This indicator is precisely the very range that the human ear perceives. Pay close attention to this indicator is necessary for those who wish to purchase a device with a focus on bass, for lovers of classical music and vocal performance.

Resistance

All headphones are divided into low impedance and high impedance products. For example, full-size designs with a reading of up to 100 ohms are considered low impedance. If we talk about the models of inserts, these are products with a resistance of up to 32 ohms. Designs with higher ratings are referred to as high-impedance devices.

Some argue that an additional amplifier is required for a high impedance audio headset. However, this statement is erroneous. To determine the volume of your favorite headphones, you need to pay attention to the voltage level issued by the port of the device.

Sensitivity

Quite often, this indicator is considered in relation to power. The increased sensitivity and low impedance in the headphones indicate a high output volume. However, with such indicators, there is a high probability that the user will encounter unnecessary noise.

Acoustic design

Today, headphones differ in acoustic parameters, or rather, they come without noise isolation, with partial noise isolation and complete noise isolation.

Models without noise isolation allow their owner to hear what is happening around him. In this case, people standing next to them will only perceive the music played through the headphones. Partially soundproofed models slightly suppress extraneous sounds. Fully noise-insulated design ensures that the user will not hear any extraneous noise while listening to music.

Brand name

The most important criterion for choosing a quality headphone is the manufacturer. Only specialized brands can offer the best products... For example, for gamers and esports athletes, Razer is the ideal option. For music lovers and fans to enjoy music tracks in high quality sound, Philips or Samsung headphones allow.

Connection type

For ease of use, modern people prefer to use wireless headphones. They are connected via Bluetooth technology or a radio channel. However, professional esports players opt for wired headphones. And the crux of the matter is not in the cost of the headset, which is much lower for models with cables, but in the quality and speed of sound and voice transmission.

How to connect?

It's easy to connect regular headphones to a computer or phone. Installing and setting up a Razer professional audio headset is another matter. For example, it is proposed to consider the Kraken 7.1 model.

  • First of all it is necessary connect the device to the computer.
  • For driver installation you need to download the installation file from the manufacturer's official website. The name of the site is present on the packaging of the device and in documents.
  • Next, the installation file is launched according to the instructions that pop-up on the monitor screen. Be sure to register with Razer Synapse 2.0. and sign in to your account.
  • Wait for the download to finish and software installation.
  • At the end of the installation, you must adjust the headphones. To do this, you need to change the standard parameters to the required indicators in each tab of the window that opens.

In the "calibration" tab, you will be able to adjust the surround sound. This process may seem very complicated, as it is carried out in 3 stages, but in fact there will be no problems. The main thing is to read the explanations for each pop-up step.

In the "audio" tab, you need to adjust the headset volume and bass settings, enable normalization and speech quality.

The "Microphone" tab will help you adjust the sound return, namely, adjust the microphone sensitivity, normalize the volume, increase clarity and remove extraneous noise.

The "mixer" tab will allow you to adjust the volume for different programs. In the “Equalizer” tab, filters are configured that set a certain timbre of the sound reproduced through the headset.

The final lighting tab gives headphone wearers an additional option to customize the indicator. In simple terms, the user can set a favorite color for the logo highlight.
