Razer introduced today the Razer Kraken Ultimate, a gaming headset featuring THX Spatial Audio technology that delivers pinpoint positional accuracy greater than 7.1 surround sound.

The Razer Kraken Ultimate comes equipped with THX Spatial Audio technology – an advanced positional audio solution that delivers pinpoint accuracy and greater than 7.1 surround sound. Producing sound in a 360-degree sphere allows for better awareness during competitive gameplay, allowing you to locate sneaking enemies.

THX Spatial Audio optimizes the sound design and engineering of every game and delivers a natural listening experience by adjusting its virtual speakers to match the audio source’s actual distance and location in-game.

Featuring custom-tuned 50mm drivers, the Razer Kraken Ultimate produces detailed sound and punchy base. Tuned to deliver a more natural sound curve, the resulting audio is the most lifelike within the Kraken line.

The Kraken Ultimate features aluminum and steel construction with cooling gel-infused ear cushions. Cooling-gel cushions help reduce heat build-up and also contain hidden eyewear channels for gamers sporting corrective or blue-light glasses.

The Kraken Ultimate also features backlit earcups powered by Razer Chroma, supporting 16.8 million colors and a suite of lighting effects controlled from within Razer Synapse 3.

Razer also introduced today the Kraken X USB. The newest addition to the Kraken X family offers green earcup lighting and 7.1 virtual surround sound via its USB connection – all in a 275g lightweight design.
