I know that Kraken line that have USB connection, have two types. Plug (as described on this guide) and 5-pin Welded wire.
Anyone knows what Kraken models have the Plug wire? and if the Kraken V2 7.1 have the same kind of wire of this guide?
Thank you!
i found a replacement USB Charging cable For Razer Kraken BT Kitty Edition/Ultimate Edition Headphone
I want to know what that little white box is called. My headphones broke at the join on the ear. So I’ve cut the worn wire & made the wire shorter, I bodge jobbed the connector and it works for a week but I need the proper connector…. my standard white connector is too big. (I think JST brand)
Any ideas?
