How does these headsets compared to the Razer Kraken 7.1? Also, does it sound beast on the PS4?

I've found the sound quality to be fairly decent, especially for the price. Straight out of the box Krakens are slightly more comfortable, but the pressure on your ears 'loosens up' after a bit and these headphones are equally as comfortable. Haven't tried these on the PS4, but they work beautifully for PC. Hope this helps!

As a game developer, I use these headsets religiously. They are not the best quality, but compared to 90% of wired headsets near the same price range they are just as good. Only problems I have with the headset is the boom for the microphone. The elbow that attaches boom to the left headphone is made out of plastic and if dropped on that elbow it will break with ease. (I strength my headsets by attaching 38 gauge aluminum with some liquid steel adhesive, to the elbow join) I have used a number of these headsets and currently own three. Two for work and one for home. Being able to get up and get a drink or rush to a project meeting, without stressing about tripping over a cord or ripping the USB out is hard to beat. Hope this review helps, if you have any questions about the headset let me know and I'd be happy to answer them for you.

They're absolutely fantastic! I have a 7.1 Sony home theater (don't remember the model) setup but since I got these headsets, I almost used them exclusively for movies/games...it's like sitting in a theater by yourself!

Yes, they work perfectly on PS4. These are my go to, for most my devices, as I prefer earbuds most of the time. The plug into the PS4 and work just like the earbud/mic set the comes with your PS4. Also, just like any other headset for PS4 you can change the sound output to either voice chat only or all sound. Just hold the PS button until the menu pops up then change the sound settings. If you prefer earbuds for gaming, I thoroughly recommend these. I know this was an old question, still didn't have a definite answer though

Currently uses 5.1 but Sony is looking to enhancing to use the 7.1 capabilities in an update within the near future. Still an amazing sound once fine tuned for personal use between chat and game audio equality and the ever favorite no wires at all from the headset.

They work fine with the PS4, but there's no mic. I attached a ModMic and used an adapter to make it a fully functional gaming type headset. I've never used it with Skype, but the same comments about the mic apply (although you wouldn't need an adapter if you're skyping on a computer). You can get a cheap adapter on Amazon, but the ModMic isn't available on Amazon yet. There are also cheaper mic solutions on Amazon.

PS3 setup works perfectly on the PS4, the mic gain switch even works to make your mic louder!

Not that bad, at least for me. I usually don't listen music too loud, unless it has powerful bass and so far no one has complaint about loud music coming from the Razer Electra. Plus, they sound amazing even at high volume levels

Not sure about the Razer Kraken 7.1, but I tried my Logitech 930 5.1 wireless and they fit just fine. I bought the case for my new Audio Technica Pro Headphones to carry back and forth to work on my Harley and it works great I can't recommend them highly enough. Hope this helps...

I'm a little confused myself. There are people who say this headset is awesome. My question is, how the hell did they get it? I thought it's been already released but not for sale from Logitech website? Are they saying when the release date is?

Not sure. I can, however, tell you that the chat volume switching did not work for me on my PS4. The volume of the headset was also kind of low. I ended up returning mine and got an Afterglow headset that GameStop currently has on clearance. Check for these in your area. They are clearance priced down to $149.99.http://www.imgur.com/IH1P0m1.jpeg

razer kraken USB comes with a digital mic and you can use the surround software from razer (the pay version) which let you configure a bunch of options. This software had a lot of glitches like a year ago, but it have been improved, I use it with my kraken usb for csgo and gtaV and it works pretty well

I would say it is. directional sound feels very accurate when playing BF4. the headset at first doesnt output lots of bass but that setting can be changed in the sound options window. definitely worth its price if not more. to put into perspective, the sound (IMO) sounds far better than those beats headphones. I like dubstep and other bass heavy music and it just sounds superb for me. hope that helps.

They shouldn't be able to work on the PS4 you would want a headset that is usb capable also these are basically headphones only. Although they are the best sounding headphones that I have ever had. You will not be able to talk over skype with this product.

I do not own a ps4 or xbox one but somewhere I heard this was compatible with the ps4 since this headphone is equiped with 4 pole 3.5mm on the remote control but im not sure what audio is being output through that 3.5mm on the dualshock 4.

Comfort is good you just have to break them in first. They were tight on me out of the box but after a few nights of leaving them extended on a box that wasn't an issue. But comfort is really dependent on your opinion and preference. Sound is very good in my opinion these are better than the more pricey headsets out right now. The mixer is a bit of a pain to use though depending on what platform you'll be using these on. I got these for the PC and have to change some settings to get them to work properly. Lately I have been using them on the PS4 except the mixer will not work at all for me. Just the headset itself plugged into the controller works fine though.
