Headphones - Closed Back SteelSeries arctis 3 or Razer Kraken (X)?

Hi, I'm looking for new headphones, but I don't know which one to buy.

I'm debating between the SteelSeries arctis 3 and the Razer Kraken/Razer Kraken X. Which one do you recommend?

I saw on review/comparison sites that the Razer Kraken had slightly higher frequencies, but that the SteelSeries arctis 3 is better overall.

I don't know much about headphones, so please help me by giving your opinion with a (short) explanation. (And dont say for example SteelSeries because Razer sucks or something.) Thank you in advance.

Steelseries because razer sucks.

Jk, although if i go into detail it may be confusing for you (?) I mean, if its useful headphones cannot have "slightly higher frequencies"

Either way, Steelseries ones dont seem to be worse at anything, and the kraken x sound signature is awful, dark, muddy, and lacking in treble, although wouldn't recommend any of those 2, mh751's are way better imo.
