When you talk about cat ear headphones or headphones in general, you just couldn’t avoid talking about Razer and their Kraken Kitty. The Razer Kraken Kitty is the cat-eared representative of the notorious Razer Kraken Family.

Kraken Kitty gaming headphones connect via a USB-A type of connection. There's also a Bluetooth-ready variant if you're more of a wireless kind of person.

The earcups and cat ears of these headphones feature Razer Chroma LED lights. Razer Chroma is a proprietary RGB light system that features 16.8 million colors, patterns, and in-game lighting effects. You can easily customize this in the Chroma Studio, while additional interactive effects can be set in the Streamer Companion App.

The Kraken Kitty also features the THX Spatial Audio, as do the others in the family. This 7.1 surround sound system puts you right in the middle of the action. They also come with Razer's noise-cancelling HyperClear Cardioid Microphone. No more excuses about your teammates not being able to hear you.

Having said that, the Kraken Kitty lacks functionality, as it does not have the on-ear mute button found on other Kraken headphones. It is also noticeably big and heavy especially with the addition of the cat ears.
