over-ear headphones with their own set of features. The Earfun Wave Pro offers wireless connectivity with low latency and LDAC codec for high-resolution audio, making it suitable for various activities including listening to music, calls and meetings, and watching TV. On the other hand, the Razer Kraken V3, with its wired connection and virtual surround sound, might be preferred for gaming, though it lacks wireless convenience. The Earfun has better noise isolation and a very long battery life, but if you need your headphones for extended gaming sessions, the comfort and durability of the Kraken might be better suited for you. Both have good build quality and sound, but the Earfun stands out with its active noise cancelling, making it a great option for air travel and noisy environments. Choose Earfun for a versatile wireless experience with ANC and Razer for primarily wired gaming use with virtual surround. Give Feedback

"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."
