If you're seeking premium sound quality, comfort, and active noise cancelling for diverse settings including air travel, the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95 could be worth the higher price. It offers excellent overall performance and features like wireless connectivity, a detachable cable, and an app with equalizer settings. However, for gaming, the Razer Kraken V3 may be a better fit with its lower price and integrated boom microphone, despite having no active noise cancelling or wireless options. The Razer headset also has virtual surround sound catered to immersive gameplay but isn't as travel-friendly or versatile for calls and music as the Beoplay H95. Give Feedback

Sam Smart | November 2022
"This Razer Kraken V3 is a great headset for gamers who want comfort, surround sound, and software customization for a reasonable price. It's primarily a headset for PC gamers since THX Spatial audio is only supported on Windows. If you want something more multifaceted for multiple systems, this won't be an ideal headset for you. Luckily, there are plenty of competent Kraken V3 alternatives available to you."
