The Razer Kraken X is a great Gaming Headset for its $39 asking price.

The Sennheiser GSP 350, however, is merely passable at its $95 price point. If you're considering buying a Gaming Headset in the $90 range, you might want to check out some of its competitors.

The Razer Kraken X has done remarkably well in a large number of roundups done by reliable sources that perform their own hands-on testing, such as Android Central, SoundGuys, Tom's Guide, PC Gamer, and Digital Camera World. It earned numerous awards - "Best budget option" from Android Central, "Best Super Cheap Option" from SoundGuys, and "The best cheap gaming headset for serious sound" from Tom's Guide.

Taking a look at the Sennheiser GSP 350, it got featured in roundups from two reliable sources that conduct their own testing - PCWorld and Wirecutter (NYTimes) - but it fell short of earning a top spot in either.

We conducted an analysis of all of the review data that we could find on these two products. First, we focused on sources that tested and rated both of them, like PCWorld, and learned that they all showed a preference for the Sennheiser GSP 350.

Then we took a look at the highest review scores that these two Gaming Headsets received. We found that the Razer Kraken X managed to earn a rating of 9 from Android Central, whereas the Sennheiser GSP 350 got its highest, 8, score from reviewers at PCWorld.

Lastly, in order to better compare them to the rest of their competition, we averaged out their review scores. The Sennheiser GSP 350 managed to get 8.0 out of 10 - considerably better than the 7.2 review average of Gaming Headsets in general - whereas the Razer Kraken X earned 7.2 points.

It should be said that doing a direct Razer Kraken X vs. Sennheiser GSP 350 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.
