FAQs
Does this headset require any software to function?
Basic audio functionality (sound and microphone) works plug-and-play. However, to customize the Razer Chroma RGB lighting effects and assign functions, you will need to download and install the Razer Synapse software.
Can I use this headset with my mobile phone?
Yes, the headset is compatible with most modern smartphones and tablets that feature a USB-C port for audio output. If your device uses a different port, you may need a USB-C to the appropriate adapter (not included).
How do I clean the earcups?
The memory foam earcups can be gently cleaned with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using any abrasive cleaners or soaking the cushions. Allow them to air dry completely before use.
Is the microphone detachable?
The microphone on the Razer Kraken V4 X is integrated and not detachable.
What is the length of the USB cable?
The headset comes with a USB-C to USB-A braided cable, typically around 1.8 meters (approximately 5.9 feet) in length, providing ample reach for most setups.
Can I adjust the volume and mute the microphone directly on the headset?
Yes, there are on-ear controls for volume adjustment and microphone muting located on the headset itself.
Troubleshooting
No audio output.
Ensure the headset is properly connected to the device. Check that the Razer Kraken V4 X is selected as the default audio output device in your system's sound settings. Try a different USB port or cable if available.
Microphone is not working or sounds muffled.
Verify that the microphone is unmuted and selected as the input device in your system's sound settings and within your application. Ensure the microphone arm is positioned correctly near your mouth. Check for any obstructions on the microphone grille.
Razer Chroma RGB lighting is not working.
Confirm that the headset is connected to a powered USB port. Ensure Razer Synapse software is installed and running, and that the lighting settings are enabled and configured correctly. Restart Synapse or your computer.
Distorted or low-quality audio.
Check the audio source for quality issues. Ensure the headset volume is not set to maximum, which can cause distortion. Try connecting to a different device to rule out device-specific problems.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Cross-platform compatibility via USB-C and USB-A.
Immersive audio experience with 40mm drivers.
Clear voice communication with cardioid microphone.
Comfortable for extended wear due to memory foam cushions.
Customizable Razer Chroma RGB lighting for aesthetic appeal.
Cons
Requires a wired connection, limiting freedom of movement.
RGB lighting may not be essential for all users and could impact battery life on some portable devices if powered externally.
Cardioid microphone, while good for voice, might pick up less ambient sound than omnidirectional mics if that's a specific user need.
