If you're looking for versatility and wireless options, Earfun Wave Pro would be a great choice as they offer Bluetooth connectivity and support for high-quality LDAC codec, which is great for music listening. They also feature active noise cancellation, making them suitable for air travel and noisy environments. However, if you're on a tighter budget and prioritize gaming, the Razer Kraken with its excellent microphone quality may be the better pick, although they lack wireless capabilities and noise cancellation. Keep in mind the Earfun has a long battery life and is suited for calls and meetings, whereas the Razer Kraken is wired and could be more durable, but has poor built-in controls and lacks versatility for different situations like exercise or travel.

PC Gamer

Rob Dwiar | March 2019
"Generally the Kraken is a very comfortable headset and there’s nothing that really identifies it as anything else. All in, the Kraken performed exactly as I’d expect a premium, designated gaming headset to perform: performing well in game audio, though not quite with the same quality of those headsets further up the price scale."
