Pokemon's 30th anniversary kicks off on February 27. The biggest gaming accessory brands have yet to announce anything new to mark the occasion, but you can already pick up Razer's Pokemon Edition Kraken V4 X wired headset to celebrate. The pair is plastered with the adorable faces of Pikachu and Kanto starters Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur, and is down to a record low just in time for the big 3-0.

At Amazon's Woot, you can grab the Poke-pair for $69.99 (Woot), which marks the lowest price I've seen it at yet. Even at Amazon's own US storefront, the gaming headset is only as low as $80.99, and that's the cheapest it's ever been. As a wired pair, it's not the most premium headset around, but licensed tech tends to be pricier than the rest, so any cash off is a saving worth catching for Pokemon fans.

Razer Kraken V4 X Pokemon Edition | $99.99 $69.99 at Woot
Save $30 - This wired gaming headset is one of the more stripped-back from the Kraken line in terms of features. However, it still packs in Razer's iconic Triforce 40mm audio drivers found on more premium pairs, along with 7.1 surround sound, a retractable cardioid microphone, and is compatible with the PC, PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 and more thanks to its simple 3.5mm wired connectivity.

Buy it if:

✅ You play PC/Switch 2/PS5
✅ You're a Pokemon fan
✅ You grew up with Gen 1

Don't buy it if:

❌ You need Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless
❌ You prefer the Razer Gengar headset
❌ You want a more feature-full Kraken pair

UK: £91.98 at Amazon

Should you buy the Pokemon Edition Razer Kraken V4 X wired gaming headset?

If you're a huge Pokemon fan, this version of the Kraken V3 X is a valid choice. It's not the best-looking Pokemon accessory Razer has put out, as that award would go to the Gengar Edition Kraken Kitty V2 headset, which you can pick up for $139.99 at Razer US right now. But I appreciate that not everyone has the budget for a $140 headset, nor the urge to don a pair of large, purple ears on their head.

This is definitely a better option for those who want to show off their 30-year love of the franchise in a more subtle way. The yellow and black color palette gives off Pikachu vibes without calling too much attention to it. Personally, I prefer my officially licensed accessories to look obnoxiously in your face, but that's just me.

This is a wired headset, so you'd have to make do with the lack of Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz wireless support. If that's a deal breaker, the Razer Barracuda X Chroma and its $109.99 (Amazon US) price might be more your speed. Yet, with a simple 3.5mm wired connection, it does make the V4 X compatible with the Switch 2, so you can play Pokemon Legends Z-A and other games in the serieswith the official Pokemon product, which is optimally nerdy in the best possible way.

With any licensed tech, you typically pay more for the use of official imagery and art. But with this $30 off deal, it brings the price of this Poke-pair down from its full $99.99 MSRP to match that of Razer's non-flashy wired options, making it a no-brainer for Pokemon fans on a budget.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
