Razer’s Kraken gets 7.1 V2 makeover with 50mm drivers and unibody aluminum frame

Esports pros have a new headset to consider.

Razer has updated its Kraken audio headset in a pair of V2 models featuring a ton of new features targeted at competitive gamers. The Kraken Pro V2 is available for preorder now at $80, and it comes with a better microphone for communication, 50mm drivers for more robust sound, and updated aluminum-body design. The Kraken 7.1 V2, however, is a beefed up version of the Kraken with surround-sound support and an active noise-canceling microphone. The 7.1 is going on sale soon for $100. Both versions of the Kraken V2 will ship worldwide in October.
