Razer has once again teamed up with The Pokémon Company International to expand the availability of the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 – Gengar Edition headset beyond its initial release in Asia, now making it accessible in the United States and other regions. This edition caters to fans of the ghost-type Pokémon Gengar, offering a unique way to express their love for the franchise.
Known for its creative collaborations, Razer has previously impressed with its Sanrio collection, and the Gengar Edition is no exception. The headset features a deep purple color scheme that perfectly matches Gengar’s character, with signature spikes that are both visible and non-intrusive. Functionality remains a priority, ensuring comfort for extended use, adaptability for different head sizes, and a balance between flair and distraction during work hours.
The Gengar Edition stands out with its durable design, making it suitable for activities like walking on an under-desk treadmill. The violet and indigo-colored shell and cushions are practical for maintaining cleanliness over time. However, the headset’s static mic and USB-only connectivity limit its versatility, particularly for those needing high-quality audio input for podcasting or hosting.
Despite these limitations, the Gengar Edition excels in sound quality, featuring TriForce 40mm Drivers for immersive audio clarity and 7.1 Surround Sound for accurate positional audio. While not perfect for every user’s needs, the headset’s design and sound quality make it a standout collaboration, reflecting Razer’s commitment to honoring both technical excellence and fan expectations.
The Razer Kraken Kitty V2 – Gengar Edition is now available for $139.99 USD.
