As for the microphone quality, well, that's where it gets a bit iffy.

The in-game audio was clear and crisp and is very impressive for a headset that only costs $50.

The 7.1 surround sound also assisted me in getting out of some tight situations, as I could pinpoint my enemy's location by increasing volume and just listening intently. In Apex Legends and Overwatch, the Kraken X did a fantastic job of really immersing me into the game when I was faced with intense gaming scenarios. The games that showed how well-done the surround sound is would be Overwatch and Apex Legends. I used the Razer Kraken X in games such as Apex Legends, Overwatch, and League of Legends for extensive hours in each. The Razer Kraken X comes with 7.1 surround sound support, and I can say that the audio quality is very impressive - more than what I expected when I first plugged it in. Other than that, the Kraken X really doesn't have anything else going for it visually. Since the headset is completely black, the Razer symbols on both ear cups do look nice when they light up green when it's powered on. The overall design of the Razer Kraken X is also quite dull, and some could even say quite boring. This can especially be the case if you own a higher quality microphone and don't want to use the headsets in-built microphone. The microphone cannot be removed, and because of this, it can actually get quite annoying. As for the Kraken X microphone, this is where I'm going to have to knock a few points off the Kraken X's total score. These buttons are conveniently placed, and the mute microphone button has a nice satisfying click to it. The Razer Kraken X also comes with two features on the left ear cup - mute microphone button and a volume wheel.
