Razer Targets Audiophiles with $300 Kraken Forged Edition

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 08:00 AM PST

These aren't your ordinary headphones

Razer isn't usually associated with audiophile-quality headphones. Most Razer products are clad in an array of gamer-friendly green and black. The California-based company is trying to break into the premium headphone space with its new top-of-the-line headphones: the Razer Kraken Forged Edition.

It looks like Razer isn't straying too far from its core philosophy of "For Gamers, By Gamers" with its new "ultra-premium" headphones. Steering clear of neutral, analytical sound, the headphones are packing 40mm "bass-heavy" drivers. Combine the huge drivers with closed ear cups and bass heads should be pleased. Top it all off with the relatively low 32 Ω impedance and the headphones shouldn't require a dedicated amplifier to sound good.

Razer Kraken Forged Edition

Hand-assembled and clad in an aircraft-grade aluminium, the Kraken Forged Edition headphones look as beefy and powerful as they probably sound. Leatherette pads line the ear cups with an adjustable headband and a foldable design that weighs 390 grams. The package also comes with a swappable cable with an in-line microphone for VOIP.

They'll be available in December for $300. Only time will tell whether the Kraken Forged Edition is worth the $240 premium over the $60 Kraken headphones.
