I sometimes feel a bit embarrassed to admit that I absolutely adore the Razer Kraken Kitty V3 Pro and the rest of the best gaming headsets out there with cat-ears. There's a weird stigma attached to them that, because they're cute, means they mustn't be an actually decent pair of cups, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
While I try not let that embarrassment get to me, what does get to me is their price, as this pair in particular is $179.99, which is a hefty sum to pay for a wireless headset with the brand's older 40mm TriForce Titanium audio drivers. That's why I love that they're down to just $129.99 at Amazon today, as it cuts a huge $50 off their full price and makes them far more purr-fectly reasonable for those like me, who love all things cute and high in quality.
Should you buy the Razer Kraken Kitty V3 Pro gaming headset?
If you've been aching for one of those cat-ear headsets, then by all means, this should be the one you get - especially now it's down to $129.99 today. This is the first of Razer's Kraken Kitty line-up to include not just Bluetooth, but also 2.4GHz wireless into the mix, which makes it better suited for those who play on everything from the PS5 to the Nintendo Switch 2.
As the Sony console doesn't natively support Bluetooth, the best PS5 headsets all require having some form of wireless 2.4GHz dongle, which you get with this pair. Previous Kraken Kitty headsets, such as the Kraken Kitty V2 BT, relied on Bluetooth only, so you'd have needed to grab an adapter to make it PS5-friendly. Not to mention, having that low-latency 2.4GHz connectivity makes setup easier for the PS5 and pretty much everything, as you just need to pop the dongle in a spare USB port and you're golden.
Switch 2 players will need to have it hooked up to the handheld's dock, but you can switch to Bluetooth if you're a handheld mode preferer like I am. No matter your platform of choice, Razer's signature 40mm Razer TriForce Titanium audio drivers sound sublime. During my review, I tested everything from Marvel Rivals to Repo, and the soundstages sounded equally as clear and balanced. Yet, PC players are going to have a better time with the sound of the Kraken Kitty V3 Pro.
PC players will have access to THX Spatial Audio, which is particularly incredible to have at your disposal for online games. Every creek of the Headman Manor map in Repo sounded utterly terrifying with the spatial audio tech, and even my friends' screams and cries sounded as if they were going off all around me. Even if you prefer single-player games, this will elevate the immersion of everything you play.
During testing, I also managed to customize the RGB cat-ear lighting to my own voice, which resulted in some particularly hilarious Repo moments. Your screams become less terrifying when your gaming office lights up pink each and every time you open your mouth. You can, of course, turn this off, and you'll reach closer to that optimum 70-hour battery life. But I will warn you that after grabbing this headset, you'll find it impossible not to want to have the cat-eyes glowing at every opportunity.
If you're on the hunt for a cat-ear headset, the Razer Kraken Kitty V3 Pro is the one I'd recommend, especially as it's current $129.99 deal price. Unfortunately, it's just the white version that's this cheap today, so you'll need to keep a closer eye on the pink version if you're chasing after that even cuter, pink aesthetic.
I've also rounded up the best PC headsets for gaming, the best Nintendo Switch headsets, and the best Xbox Series X headsets if you're not a cat person.
