The JBL Tune 710BT are a budget-friendly option and are wireless, which offers portability and convenience for listening on the go, and they boast a long battery life. They're suitable for music listening and have modest comfort but may not isolate noise as effectively as others. The Razer Kraken, on the other hand, has a boom mic that provides higher quality for calls and gaming, and it scores better in soundstage and imaging for an immersive gaming experience. They do however, lack wireless capabilities, which means less freedom of movement compared to the JBL Tune 710BT. Both are over-ear, closed-style headphones with similar build quality, but the Razer Kraken has a slight edge in comfort. Consider the JBL Tune 710BT for a more economical and wireless option with good music performance, or the Razer Kraken for better gaming, call quality, and immersion at a higher cost. Give Feedback

"We are facing headphones that are comfortable to use with a foldable and lightweight design, which is combined with 40mm dynamic drivers and a multipoint Bluetooth connection, which makes them versatile and a good option for day-to-day use, whether for listening music, podcasts, audiobooks, or videos."

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."
