Frequently asked questions about this product
Does 7.1 surround sound also work on PlayStation, Xbox or Switch?
7.1 is a software feature that is enabled on PC. On consoles and mobile devices, the headset plugs in via its jack and plays sound with nothing to install. So you get virtual positioning on a computer — useful for locating footsteps behind you or a shot from the side — and direct listening everywhere else.
How does the Razer Kraken X Lite connect, and to which devices?
Through a single 3.5 mm jack carrying both audio and mic, as on a laptop or a console controller. It is listed as compatible with PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and mobile: nothing to charge, nothing to pair, no installation.
Is it comfortable for glasses wearers over long sessions?
Yes, this has been worked on: the memory foam cushions include channels designed for glasses arms, and the headband is adjustable. At just 250 g on your head, pressure stays low even after several hours.
Will my teammates hear me properly with the built-in mic?
The mic is flexible, cardioid and unidirectional: it picks up what is in front of it and reduces sound coming from behind and the sides — PC fan, room noise. Its 100 Hz to 10 kHz frequency response covers the voice, and the boom bends to bring it closer to your mouth.
Does it need a sound card or an amplifier to drive it properly?
No. It plugs straight into the jack output of a PC, controller or phone: no installation, no additional accessory. Its stated specifications are an impedance of 32 ohms at 1 kHz and a sensitivity of 109 dB.
Can it also be used for music and films, or only for gaming?
Its 40 mm neodymium magnet drivers cover a range of 12 Hz to 28,000 Hz: music and films come through without difficulty. The cushions are oval, in leatherette, and the whole headset weighs just 250 g — enough to keep it on your head for a long time.
Is the headset new and under warranty?
Yes: the headset is new and sealed, reference RZ04-02950100-R381, supplied with its invoice, which serves as a 1-year warranty. All the technical specifications are set out in the datasheet (PDF).
50 hours of battery life and one-button switching between PC and phone: when a call comes in, you take it and then go back to the game without removing the headset.
•Up to 50 hours of battery life, USB-C charging
•SmartSwitch: 2.4 GHz link and Bluetooth connected at the same time
Only 240 g, closed earcups that cut room noise and a folding microphone: the esports format, with no battery to manage. The 7.1 surround on PC pinpoints every footstep.
Approved by professional players: the closed earcups and their thick pads form a seal that shuts out the hubbub, and 7.1 surround shows where each footstep comes from.
It plugs into a computer as easily as a tablet or a smartphone, with nothing to install. Rotating noise-cancelling microphone to wear on the left or the right, volume and mute on the cable.
A single plug to connect, to a computer as well as a phone or a tablet, with nothing to install. The noise-reducing microphone can be worn on the left or the right and lifts away when not in use.

Flip the microphone boom up and it mutes. Two wireless links to choose from: 2.4 GHz over the USB receiver for playing on PC, the other for Discord and mobile. More than 20 hours of battery life, 210 g.
The red light comes on as soon as you are on a call: your colleagues know not to interrupt you. Unidirectional boom microphone that folds up when not in use, and a 3.5 mm jack to connect a phone or tablet too.
Microsoft Teams certified, for calls and concentration in an open-plan office: noise-cancelling microphone, leatherette ear cushions that damp the background noise and an in-line controller for volume, calls and mute.
