If gaming and watching TV are your main activities, the Razer Kraken V3 has good sound quality and is built for gaming, with virtual surround sound and a boom mic for clear communication. However, for outdoor activities or if you need awareness of your surroundings, the Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones are better, as they're sweatproof, dustproof, and allow you to hear ambient noise. The Youthwhisper are budget-friendly but offer poorer sound quality compared to the Razer, which might be important if you prioritize audio immersion. The Razer's wired connection can limit mobility, while the Youthwhisper's wireless design offers more freedom of movement. Give Feedback

Soundguys

Sam Smart | November 2022
"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."

They're lightweight and compact, so they won't get in the way when wearing them while exercising. Plus, they have a built-in microphone so you can take calls during your workout without having to stop and fumble with your phone. The sound quality is great for this style of headphones, and it has many other cool features."
