Taking a look at the ASUS ROG Strix Fusion 700 (2018), it got featured in roundups from two reliable sources that conduct their own testing - Techradar and Expert Reviews - but it fell short of earning a top spot in either.

It should be said that doing a direct Razer Kraken X vs. ASUS ROG Strix Fusion 700 (2018) comparison might not be entirely fair due to the difference in their prices - some sources don't put much weight on value for money and thus tend to give better review scores to more expensive products.
