## Key points

- Cosplay Mode powers the headset’s lighting from a USB-C power bank.
- The $99 headset may be vulnerable to damage or theft at conventions.
- Its 315g weight could also be uncomfortable with a heavy wig.

## Summary

Razer’s Kraken Kitty V3 headset adds a “Cosplay Mode” that lets users power its illuminated cat ears from a USB-C power bank, making it possible to wear them away from a gaming setup. The writer welcomes the effort to serve cosplayers but advises caution at busy conventions, where expensive accessories could be damaged, lost or stolen.

The headset costs $99 and weighs 315g; it has 40mm TriForce drivers, a HyperClear cardioid microphone and lighting that can sync with other Razer devices through Chroma. The writer recommends it for gaming, streaming and smaller cosplay gatherings, but says cheaper costume-built headphones may be a safer choice for long convention days, especially with a heavy wig.
