There is a real sense of warmth, depth, and clarity to the sound prowess on display with faithful and accurate audio reproduction across the board. The Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense features 50mm TriForce Titanium audio drivers that have been present in many of the brand's more recent gaming headsets, such as the excellent Razer BlackShark V2, and these drivers sound every bit as good here, too. (Image credit: Razer) Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense review: performance I've never been a fan of touch functionality when editing on-the-fly audio preferences, so I'm happy Razer chose to go the tactile route here. The physical controls present on the back and underside of both cups are simple but get the job done well, as you can feel the differences easily between the volume slider, HyperSense toggle, and microphone mute button. Simply put, there's nothing else like it on the market right now from its competition, and it's a feature that aids immersion to no end that I just can't get enough of. I found that actively switching between medium and high worked most efficiently for games such as Deathloop and Far Cry 5, especially when you can physically feel the power of a shotgun blast tearing a man to shreds or a sniper round blitzing straight through an unaware guard's helmet, and frontal cortex, from far away. I personally didn't have this issue, and it's easily alleviated anyway due to a dedicated toggle button where you can set the strength, but it's something to keep in mind. This level of engrossment isn't going to be for everyone, and some gamers might find the maximum setting a little too intense. The overall build quality as a whole is to be commended, being a major step-up from the likes of the Razer Kraken Tournament Edition, and the subsequent X line of budget models in the range, so if you're after a long-lasting headset, the Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense definitely delivers on this front. Unsurprisingly from a premium Razer gaming headset, the Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense is exceedingly comfortable for long periods of time, too, without any pinching of the head, nor ear soreness that can build up in some cheaper gaming headsets made of less premium materials. Because of the lighting, I won't go for far as to call its overall aesthetics subtle, but it is one of the cleaner-looking headsets in the brand's line-up for sure. There's no accounting for taste, of course, but I think this is one of the more stylish gaming headsets that the company has ever put out, especially when considering the memory foam and leatherette construction combined with the steel-reinforced headband. This time around Razer has opted for a black-on-black color scheme which is suitably understated save for the large RGB badge that adorns either cup on the Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense.
