Razer Kraken Pro V2 Gaming Headset

The Kraken Pro V2 is a well built, great-sounding gaming headset at a price that seems just about right. It's much better than a bargain bin headset but won't necessarily blow your mind. The ear cushions are comfortable, even when worn over glasses, but tend to get hot, and the retractable mic is slick. They look kind of generic though, so I'd probably spring for the Chroma model since it has true 7.1 surround and fancy lighting for just $20 more.
