However that's not to say gaming is its only function - the Kraken X is just as versatile as a regular headset, with the added benefit that you could use it with a games console if you wanted to. Razer products are targeted squarely at gamers, and the Kraken X is no exception. This can create a wider, airier sound profile, but it also means others around you can hear the audio leakage. Open-back earcups will have a vented exterior casing to allow some sound to escape. Closed back are more common in the reference headphone market, as they help to further isolate sound. Then there's the choice between open-back and closed-back earcups. It's a more comfortable solution, and also creates a seal around each ear to seal out background noise - a feature called noise isolation, or passive noise reduction. Over-ear cups - also called circumaural - solve this by adding a thicker perimeter ring of padding around the cup so it sits around your ear, rather than on it. These earcups rest flat on the surface of your ear, which can be fine for shorter periods, but could cause fatigue after a while. On-ear headphones are less common in the studio sector. For this reason studio headphones don't tend to use an in-ear, earbud design, and instead are generally classified as 'on-ear' or 'over-ear'. When you're spending long periods in front of a computer, comfortable earcups are a must. More expensive headphones may have the option to unplug the headphone cord from the earcup, so you can swap it out for shorter, longer, straight or coiled cables.
This ensures the best possible audio fidelity with no risk of degradation or dropout due to wireless interference. Most of the headphones on this list use a traditional corded connection to your device, usually via a good old 3.5mm headphone jack. On this list we're only recommending low impedance models to ensure maximum device compatibility. High impedance headphones are designed for use with a dedicated headphone amp or pro studio equipment, otherwise they can sound too quiet. Headphones with a low impedance (below 50 ohms) are easy to drive and don't require additional sound amplification above and beyond what your laptop can produce. Measured in ohms, and symbolized as Ω, this quantifies how easily the speaker drivers are to 'drive' - vibrate - sound waves into your ear. Most boast an even wider response range though, which at the low/bass end can be beneficial, as while you may not be able to hear these frequencies, it is possible to feel them. The human ear can usually hear a range from 20Hz up to 20,000Hz (or 20kHz), so a pair of headphones that at least covers this range is a must.
This conveys the breadth of tones that the headphone drivers are able to produce, from the lowest bass notes to the highest treble frequencies.
