Choosing between the KZ ZSN Pro and the Razer Kraken V3 depends on your preferences and intended use. If you're on a budget and looking for earbuds that offer good overall sound quality, comfort, and are suitable for music and TV with a detachable cable, the KZ ZSN Pro is an excellent choice. However, they have poor mic quality and noise isolation, which may not be ideal for calls, meetings, or noisy environments. On the other hand, the Razer Kraken V3, while more expensive, provides headphones with better build quality and mic quality, making them suitable for gaming, as they include a boom mic and virtual surround sound. They also offer an immersive experience for TV and video but might not be the best for portability and use during exercise due to their size and weight. Neither option supports wireless connectivity or active noise cancelling, so if these features are important to you, you may want to consider other models. Give Feedback

"Undoubtedly the focus and the star of the show, the ZSN Pro’s bass is big, bold and bangin’. The amount of gusto in the low end should satisfy anyone who likes a large lick of bass and even certified bassheads will probably get a kick out of this."

"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."
