Razer Kraken Pro V2: Razer Kraken Pro V2 Quartz Edition headset wiring and TRRS jack wiring

Fri, 21 Jun 2024 05:34:24 -0700

I have a set of Razer Kraken Pro V2 Quartz Edition headset I am trying to repair. I looked online and found that the TRRS replacement jack with a small cable piece on it, may not be a normal (Apple) style jack, but it has a Ground, Mic, Right, and then left on the end. This is the jack, 4 Pack Replacement 3.5mm Male Plug to Bare Wire Open End Headset TRRS Cord 4 Pole 1/8" Jack Stereo Audio Cable for Headphone Microphone Repair Cable 3.5mm Plug Connector for Earphone (12in) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DR4... Wires are colored, bottom to top black, green, white, and red. The information on Amazon states, that PIN 1 - red wire is the left channel, PIN 2 - white wire is the right channel, PIN 3 - green wire is mic, and PIN 4 - black wire is ground. The headset wires are colored, yellow, white, gold, red, and green. I do not have the original jack, to know what colors went to what.

I put the wires on where it said to online, but now the audio sounds like it is in a tunnel and at low volume. If I lower the balance on either side to zero, the volume goes up and it sounds normal. I found that it said the black wire off the jack would go to the yellow and gold wires on the headset. Green wire off the jack to white on the headset. White from the jack, to red on the headset. And red on the jack to green on the headset.

Update: I forgot to say, I only replaced the jack itself not the entire cable.

I tried getting the information from Razer, but that went nowhere. Why is the audio messed up and is the wires I connected correctly together?

There is nothing on your website for answers either.

Razer Kraken: Correct Wire Colours to fit wire to power connector?

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 14:49:00 -0700

Razer Kraken Tournament Edition

Hello - my son is trying to fix his Razer Kraken headphone jack - and has come to me (mum - insert horror emoji here ) to help identify the wire colours. I’ve attached a photo, we don’t have the tools we need to check the wires by playing a sound and the old jack (it’s not USB) doesn’t give us access to the original wires/ my son cut them off too soon (I’m not sure). One way or another, I’m faced with 4 wires:

Red

Copper

Yellow

Green

And I don’t know which of these wires we need to solder to which part of the jack ….

Youtube has been helpful - but not helpful enough.

Really hoping you amazing people can help!

Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma: Damaged wiring near the speaker, Device keeps disconnecting

Hi. I think may have yanked the cable because it seems my kraken keeps disconnecting. Its the usb version so the cable goes inside the left speaker. Any suitable repair guides for this? Much appreciated.

Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma: Best way to replace the cable?

Thu, 18 Feb 2021 17:39:05 -0700

Hi! The last 2-3 pairs of these headphones I always have the same issue. A broken wire. From cats, from yanks, to many things. I am finally changing to a pair of wireless headphones from Steelseries but I wanna still try to fix these as a backup (Or if I think I did a good enough job maybe even resell) The first 2-3 inches of wire coming from the headset itself is where the broken wire is. So I can’t simply splice and repair as I think the entire wire is loose from the board. But I can’t seem to open the area where the wire is hiding. Any ideas? Google is not giving me any answers.
