Comfortable, high quality RAZER headphones, it turns out, are not just reserved for the domain of the big league game players. They're accessible to kids and teens, too -- not only for playing their favorite games but also for listening to music and movies. Whether at home or in the backseat on road trips there's a headset for everyone.

The RAZER Kraken Pro V2 Headset is optimized with the ideal balance of weight, performance, functionality and of course, comfort. Features include a 3.5mm combined audio jack and splitter cable to ensure seamless mic support on mobile devices as well as connectivity to any gaming setup as well as an analog volume control wheel.




Added to that, is a microphone that is fully retractable along with comfy over ear design for superior sound isolation and hours of comfortable wearing.  Delivering stereo sound, the RAZER Kraken Pro V2 Headset is compatible with PC/PS4/Mac/Xbox/Mobile devices.

Looking for an over the ear headset with an even higher level of coolness? Take a step up with the RAZER Kraken 7.1 V2 Digital USB Gaming Headset for a truly immersive surround audio experience with an even higher level of sound isolation. Also designed for hours of comfortable wearing, this model has a completely retractable mic as well as  gives the user the ability to customize audio channels to suit personal listening preferences. 



What's more is, thanks to ample 50mm audio drivers, sound is much richer and more defined. Best of all: kids and teens will love controlling the lighting effects which make the logo on the ear pieces change colors randomly to suit their individual style. Delivering 7.1 virtual surround sound, the RAZER Kraken 7.1 V2 Headset is compatible with PC and Mac. Available in Black.



Both of my college student sons thought these headphones were really awesome. So, depending on what you're looking for and how they will be used, either of these RAZER headsets would make a great gift for kids, teens, and young adults too.

Review Sing Movie Hit With Kids, Parents

Movies


Viewers of all ages will be singing your way home after seeing this brilliant family friendly movie during the holidays. Sing, the animation comedy family music feature film released in theaters December 21, 2016 by Universal Pictures, is brought to the big screen by Illumination. 


Sing Movie from Universal Pictures Opens for the Holidays


The new movie Sing is from the same talented creative dream team which wowed viewers in recent blockbusters such as The Secret Life of PetsDespicable Me, Despicable Me 2 and Minions, the second highest grossing animated movie ever.

There is a lovable animal character -- complete with human flaws and gifts -- for each of us to discover and relate to in Sing. Sitting in a Century City theater with my friends Denise Albert and Melissa Gerstein of The Moms, who invited a group of L.A. bloggers to an advanced screening of this film, I was immediately drawn in to the plot.

Shortly after the movie begins, if you are like me, you will also get pleasantly lost in the fabulous musical score that pairs with the screen action so eloquently voiced by an all-star cast of actors and actresses you'll immediately recognize.


Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon at SING premiere

The film stars Academy Award winners Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon. Joining them in other leading roles are Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Taron Egerton and Grammy Award-nominated Tori Kelly. This is the first collaboration between writer/director Garth Jennings (Son of Rambow) and Illumination founder/CEO Chris Meledandri.

Much like the animated hit movie Zootopia, Sing takes place in a human-like world where only animals live. As the film opens, we are introduced to Buster Moon (McConaughey), a koala who inherited an old theater from his family and that is now failing. 

Fearing that this family legacy will be lost forever, he jumps into high gear to produce the world's greatest animal singing competition, American Idol-style. Once word gets out that there's a singing contest to enter with a big money prize to win, hundreds of all types of animals show up to audition.

Competition is stiff and in the end Buster narrows it down to five contestants: Mike the mouse (MacFarlane), a con-man who also sings; Meena the elephant (Kelly), a super shy teen with the voice of an angel who is wrought with stage fright, Rosita the pig (Witherspoon), an overloaded mother tending to a litter of 25 kid piglets while her husband is out all day at work; Johnny the gorilla (Egerton), a gangster who is caught up in a family of felons and wants to turn honest; and Ash the porcupine (Johansson) a punk-rocker trying break free of her arrogant, controlling boyfriend to go solo.

As the mom of four kids born within a year including triplets as well as the wife of a busy doctor working long hours at the hospital while I had four in diapers at home, it was easy for me to see who I could most relate to: Rosita, the mommy piggy. Like her, though I love my kids what I really wanted to do was go out and work to use my gifts and have a fulfilling experience beyond being a mother.


Steve Wonder sings at the Sing premiere


Set to the tunes of more than 65 hit classical songs spanning many decades and music genres, from Frank Sinatra's My Way to The Beatles medleys Golden Slumbers and Carry That Weight performed by Jennifer Hudson to an original song Faith, by Stevie Wonder and Ariana Grande, each competitor as well as Buster face challenges along the way. 

This is a movie not only about the end result, Buster and the other characters learn, it's also the journey toward reaching for and realizing your dreams. An upbeat picture, this would be a wonderful way to enjoy some quality time with your children, and perhaps their grandparents, during Christmas and Hanukkah this year.



Sing is in theaters now nationwide. Keep up to date on all the latest news by following the film on the official site as well as on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
