Using A 3.5mm Audio Jack

The most common method is connecting your Razer Kraken to your PC using a 3.5mm audio jack. Using this method offers a fast and effortless way to begin.

  3. Once your headset is connected, adjust the audio settings in your PC’s or your game’s audio settings.
Tip: You can always customize audio settings, such as volume and microphone, to suit your personal preferences.

Using Razer Synapse

Razer Synapse is a software application developed by Razer that allows you to customize your Razer Kraken headset settings. Additionally, it allows you to connect your headset to your computer using a USB cable. Many members of our team use this software as it not only provides customization but connectivity features as well.

Follow these steps to connect Razer Kraken to your PC using Razer Synapse:

  1. Download and install the Razer Synapse Software from the official Razer website and create an account.
  2. Connect your Razer Kraken headset to your PC using a USB cable. The Razer Synapse software should automatically detect the headset.
  3. Once your headset is connected, you can customize your audio and microphone settings, like the EQ Settings and microphone sensitivity, and even enable virtual surround sound.

Using A Wireless Connection

From the Razer Kraken series, the Razer Kraken V3 Pro supports wireless connection. You can connect it to your PC using a dongle. 

Follow these steps to connect the Razer Kraken wirelessly:

  1. If your Razer Kraken headset comes with a transmitter or dongle, it means that it can be connected wirelessly. 
  2. Insert the wireless transmitter or dongle into an available USB port on your PC. Wait for your PC to detect the transmitter.
  3. Press and hold the power button on your Razer Kraken headset to turn it on. Your headset will automatically connect to the dongle.
  4. Once your headset is connected, configure the audio settings as per your preferences.
WARNING: If the headphones are not connecting, there might be something wrong with the dongle, or it may be damaged. In this case, contact Razer support.

Using A Bluetooth Connection

If you own a Razer Kraken headset that supports Bluetooth connectivity (like Razer Kraken BT Kitty Edition), you can connect it to your PC using Bluetooth. 

Follow the instructions below to use the Razer Kraken via Bluetooth:

  1. First, ensure that your PC has Bluetooth enabled. To check that, go to Settings > choose Bluetooth & other devices > toggle the Bluetooth switch to On.
  2. Put your Razer Kraken headset into Pairing Mode by pressing and holding the power button until the LED indicator light starts flashing rapidly.
  3. Navigate to your PC’s Bluetooth Settings > select Add Bluetooth or other device > click on Bluetooth and give your computer time to detect your headset. Once it appears in the list, select it and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the pairing process.
Tip: After connecting your headset, adjusting the audio settings in either your PC’s sound settings or your game’s audio settings might be necessary. You can customize the volume, microphone, and other audio settings based on your preferences.
