I don't speak Dutch or German, but they're pretty close to the same. I own the Kraken 7.1 in the non-Chroma and they work quite well. They're comfortable once broken in, produce sound well in stereo or virtual surround, and have a very sensitive digital mic. The cord is plenty long enough and has a braided sheath. The cups also fold should you wish to transport them somewhere besides your neck. While some people have seemed to have issues with Synapse 2.0, I can't say that I have.

These also have a slightly larger frequency response range but it's unlikely you'd notice that audibly.

If you have the chance to try each out before buying, do so. If not... you're on your own. Either way, I believe you're getting a solid product.
