Where are the differences?
Let's compare the two Razer branded gaming headsets and take a closer look at the differences between the Kraken V3 X* and Kraken X*.
What year are the headsets from?
The release year is of course important when comparing two headsets. After all, the release date has an influence on the state of the art and usually also affects the price. The Razer Kraken V3 X is from the year 2021 and thus newer than the Razer Kraken X. This one is from the year 2019. Which puts 2 years between the two gaming headsets.
Connection options
Let's start with the connectivity options from Razer Kraken V3 X and Razer Kraken X. Both give you the option to be wired. A wired connection reduces connection problems and interference, which is an advantage. In return, the cable can possibly interfere.
Radio offers the disadvantage that there can be interference in the verdinbung. In addition, with radio you are usually dependent on a battery, which can also go flat during use. Neither the Razer Kraken V3 X nor the Razer Kraken X can be connected wirelessly. So a wireless connection is not possible. However, often the wireless headsets also offer the additional option to connect the headset via cable.
Cable
With a length of 1,8 m the Razer Kraken V3 X* has a longer cable. The cable length of the Razer Kraken X is 1,5 m. With a USB sound card additional cable can be added.
Audio
Both gaming headsets have a driver of 40 mm and thus do not differ. The bigger the driver, the better and louder low frequencies can be reproduced. However, it depends on more factors and can therefore only be taken as a small benchmark.
The frequency range starts at 12 Hz for both models. The end is at 28000 Hz for both. What is really important here is the range between 50 Hz and 10,000 Hz, which is covered by just about every headset nowadays.
The higher the impedance, the more power a speaker can produce. Also the sound becomes clearer. With a value of 32 Ω both models are equal here.
Both gaming headsets have the option for 7.1 surround sound.
Microphone
Of course, both headsets have a microphone built in, which is also adjustable. The microphone is not detachable on either model.
Neither of them has noise suppression. To suppress keystrokes or mouse clicks for the others this is handy.

Which headset has more features?
Finally, let's take a look at the equipment. Here, some models have lighting. This is where the two headsets differ. Only the Razer Kraken V3 X has an illumination. However, this does not necessarily make the Razer Kraken X worse, since it only has optical effects.
Furthermore, some headsets have freely programmable buttons, as is also known from gaming mice or keyboards. But you have to do without this for the Razer Kraken V3 X and Razer Kraken X.
