The Razer Kraken is a closed-back, over-ear headphone that is wired and does not support wireless use, which makes it less portable but could be preferred for its stability and absence of latency issues, possibly beneficial for gaming and consistent connection. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 are wireless earbuds with active noise cancelling and high-quality AptX Adaptive codec support, offering portability and a more immersive experience, particularly useful during travel or exercise. However, wireless earbuds can be pricier and have potential latency drawbacks for gaming or synchronous video content. The choice between these largely depends on whether you prioritize sound isolation and mobility (Sennheiser), or a more affordable price and wired stability (Razer Kraken). Keep in mind that the built-in microphone quality and virtual surround capabilities also differ, with the Sennheisers likely offering a significant step up in microphone quality due to their more recent release and focus on high-quality audio performance.

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."

"With the Momentum True Wireless 3, Sennheiser cements itself yet again as one of the go-to brands for wireless sound quality. It has a fun and engaging sound signature that has great bass and a great stage, accomplishing what only some of the best Bluetooth earphones can, and that’s clarity."
