The earpads, however, have more than their fair share.

The padding on the headband itself is somewhat minimal, but the Ultimate is light enough that you’ll barely feel it. What makes the Kraken Ultimate an especially comfortable headset has to do with the padding. There’s almost no clamping force to speak of, which is fine by me since headsets with some clamping force can put unnecessary pressure on your head in the middle of long gaming sessions. Like most headsets, this can be extended on either side.

The earcups don’t swivel or tilt much, but the headband is bendable enough to easily adjust to users’ heads.
