Our Verdict
Razer BlackShark V2
Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense
Depending on your preferences, you may prefer either the Razer BlackShark V2 or the Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense. The BlackShark V2 are more comfortable, have a more immersive passive soundstage feature, and support a 1/8" TRRS connection as well as a USB-A connection. However, the V3 HyperSense have a haptic bass feature that can make your gaming experience more sensorial, their boom mic offers a better noise handling performance, and the headphones feel better-built.
