Hi Guys Apologies as this has probably been asked already although I haven't been able to find it following a quick search. As the newer Xbox controllers now also come with a 3.5mm jack I was trying to figure out if there are any benefits in buying the Kraken for Xbox over the standard Kraken's? I thought the control unit that comes with the Xbox version was essentially an adapter (with audio control of course) for the proprietary connector on the older controllers so is this headset just aimed at these legacy controllers or does it do more than that I'm just missing the point? Yeah thanks Franubis. I know the Kraken's connect through a single audio jack (plug) but also that there are two common standards in CITA (the one Xbox uses) and OMTP. Driver Dvb Skystar 3 Usb here. I realise that the difference is that the ground and microphone contacts are swapped around and that this can be corrected with an additional adapter but I was hoping someone on the forums would have tried it already it and could advise based on their experience. Also I still find it a little strange that most vendors seem to be pushing the Xbox headsets with the proprietary adapter only and make no mention that the standard anolog ones may work, obviously with certain controllers.
Although unless you've bought a new controller since the announcement around last summer you won't have one with a 3.5mm jack anyway so as you've already said they simply aren't as common.
The Razer Kraken Pro connects by 3.5mm (can connect to your phone). The Razer Kraken 7.1 Classic connects via USB. The main difference aside from how they connect is sound. The Razer Kraken Pro does not offer 7.1 surround sound, while the Razer Kraken 7.1 Classic offers virtual surround sound. But do keep in mind you can turn any headset into 7.1 surround sound using Razer Surround. The Holiday Ost Rapidshare Files. As for microphones, the Razer Kraken Pro (not 2012 version) features two microphones, and has in-line controls.
