If you prioritize versatility and value in your workspace, the JLab Go Work Wireless might be a better choice with its excellent mic quality for calls and meetings, active noise cancelling for concentration, and a detachable boom mic that can be folded away. These headphones also offer very good comfort for extended wear and are suitable for air travel. However, if your focus is on gaming or watching TV, the Razer Kraken V3, while somewhat more expensive, provides good audio for these activities alongside virtual surround sound to enhance your experience. It does not have wireless capabilities or active noise cancelling, which makes it less adaptable for travel or noisy environments. Give Feedback

The JLab Go Work Wireless has excellent build quality, while the Razer Kraken V3 has very good build quality.
"If you are going to criticise the JLab Go Work, it would be for the cables, which are to some extent too short for their intended use, and for its rather harsh treble reproduction above moderate volume levels in music mode. However, the call quality during telephone calls and video conferences in voice mode via wireless and via cable is impeccable. This handy Bluetooth headset also scores points with its excellent battery life and support for multipoint connections."
"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."
