There’s two ways to look at the build quality of the Kraken X. There is a basic settings menu where you can enable the software to start with Windows and change the language, but that is it in a nutshell. It guides you through a brief setup process where you have to select which audio output the 7.1 effect will be applied to, and then you can turn 7.1 on or off – that’s it. When it comes down to it, the software is very simple.
If you don’t have other Razer products that use Synapse, you won’t need to download it as well for the Kraken X, but it’s a shame it isn’t integrated as part as Synapse for those who might have a Razer keyboard, mouse or laptop. The first thing to note is the 7.1 Surround Sound download is separate to Synapse 3.
