Razer Reveals 3 New Pokémon-Inspired Gaming Headsets

Razer has released three new Pokémon-inspired gaming headsets as part of Pokémon’s 30th anniversary celebrations. These colorways are based on two of Razer's popular models: the Kraken V4 and the Blackshark V3 X Hyperspeed, each featuring a specific Pokémon design—Sylveon, Charizard, and Lucario.

The Razer Kraken V4 is receiving the Sylveon Edition treatment. This wired headset features a retractable mic, 7.1 surround sound, and customizable RGB with Razer Chroma. The Sylveon design emphasizes pastels, featuring an image of Sylveon on the headband and soft blue details on the earcups.

The Blackshark V3 X Hyperspeed headset is getting two new colorways based on Charizard and Lucario. This model is tuned for esports and is slightly higher-end than the Kraken V4. It weighs 270g (compared to the Kraken’s 300g) and boasts low-latency wireless connection via 2.4GHz HyperSpeed technology, along with up to 70 hours of battery life.

The Charizard edition is colored in black and red flames with orange lining, while the Lucario model features vibrant blue earcubs and ink-like illustrations.

These new peripherals are available directly from Razer and Target. Razer has previously collaborated on Pokémon-themed accessories, making this release a fitting announcement for the gaming giant’s 30th anniversary.
