Kraken Kitty V2 and BlackShark V2 X Razer gaming headsets updated with new colorways
The Razer Kraken Kitty V2 has been a popular headset for streamers and content creators. While it's known for its trademark cat ears, color choices hampered customization. Razer has come to the rescue by reskinning the headset in white. The manufacturer also now offers the wireless Kraken Kitty V2 BT in black and white colorways. In related news, the BlackShark V2 X budget esports headset has a new look in white and quartz designs.
Streamers and celebrities have helped bring the Kraken Kitty V2 into the mainstream. The Razer RGB gaming headset sports adorable kitty ears but also flashes Chroma lighting that syncs with the brand's other gear. However, the corded headset is no slouch in the audio department. When used on PCs, gamers enjoy convincing surround sound that helps identify the position of enemies.
The new white colorway for the Kraken Kitty V2 may tempt buyers with snow-themed setups. Still, that clean look is somewhat compromised by a dangling wire. The Kraken Kitty V2 BT sheds any cords and pairs with PCs and smartphones with Bluetooth 5.2. On the other hand, its internal mics and added latency make it more suitable for mobile use. The new basic black option should open up the Kraken Kitty V2 BT to a new audience.
Gamers who are more interested in competitive shooters than broadcasting will gravitate toward the Razer BlackShark V2 X. It's one of the most affordable Razer gaming headset options but produces punchy sound with 50mm drivers. The BlackShark V2 X's HyperClear Cardioid mic is also one of the clearest in its price range. Now available in black and white, the wired headset connects to PCs or console controllers.
When Razer releases new collections, buyers often pay a premium for unique styles. In this case, the white Kraken Kitty V2 and black Kraken Kitty V2 BT cost the standard $99.99 at Razer stores and major retailers. Likewise, the BlackShark V2 X in white and quartz is often listed for $40 or less.
