Razer vs Steelseries

[smekera]

Hello,I wanted to ask which headset is better:the Razer Kraken Pro or Steelseries Siberia V2.I am going to use one of these two headsets for music and gaming.Thank you!

Steelseries Siberia V2 imo.

I agree with bigcyco1. Steelseries>Razer IMHO. I have had bad experience with all of my Razer products (no joke) including headset, mouse, keyboard, and even mousepad. Everything broke within 3 months, and the mousepad attracted way to much and was hard to clean...but maybe that is just me. 0 problems with my 8 month old Logitech G930/G700s, if you want to take that brand into consideration. I know this really sounds like fanboying, but I might just have the worst luck when it comes to peripherals.

Personally I really like Razer products and have had no problems, but each to their own I suppose

i would say stay away from the siberia v2. it may be that i am, unlucky but i had to deal with their support (which was abysmal) on two seperate occasions because of the microphone dying. the first time the static coming through the mic was so loud that my teammates would often mute me. the second time after a week of rolling the mic into the earcup it would only work if pulled out very slightly and no one could hear me. between each problem it took me over a month to rectify the issue. that said if you get a good one they are excellent while functional. i since broke my boycott and got a Sensei mouse and am very happy. i would say go with the kraken for peace of mind. also i have loved all my razer products- blackwidow ultimate + nostromo. very good products imo

And can someone tell me which has better sound quality because in specs the Siberia should have better sound but I read that the Razer's are with better bass and more comfortable.

you definitely cant get any more comfortable than the v2. i wear glasses and even i forgot i was wearing then after ten minutes. as far as the sound is concerned it is superb for a gaming headset. the only issue was the mic
