Our Verdict

Razer Kraken Pro V2

Astro A10

The Astro A10 are better-sounding gaming headphones than the Razer Kraken Pro V2. The Astro's overall sound profile is more neutral and won't be as boomy and cluttered as the Razer. They also perform more consistently across various users, which is good. On the other hand, the Razer have a PC Y-splitter included, and their style might appeal to more people considering you can retract their microphone inside the headphones.
