Best praise vs top criticism for Razer Kraken
“Razer Kraken is a bad choice, they suck. You might want to go for something like the Coolermaster MH751, or the HyperX Cloud Alpha, or the SHP9500 with a modmic. ​ **Closed-back** means that the headphone's ear cups are closed completely at the back. So sound does not leak and it gives you isolation at the cost of soundstage. **Open-back** means that the headphone's cups are open at the back. So sound will leak. Advantage is that it gives you a wider soundstage and more natural sound.”
