Razer’s Kaira Pro is a feature-packed headset for the new Xbox consoles

Razer has announced two wireless gaming headsets that are available starting today, and they'Ra ready-made specifically for the new Xbox Series X, Series S and Xbox One consoles. The $150 Kaira Pro and the $100 Kaira borrow the same drivers from the Blackshark V2 series of headsets, and add some new features to make some models alluring for their respective monetary value points.

Start with what you'll find on some headsets, Razer finally made the saltation to USB-C charging. I as wel genuinely like that for each one Kaira model has swiveling ear cups, making them easier to pack away in a bag, OR just breathe on your chest of drawers in between matches. These are also surprisingly comfortable — non quite as very much like the barely-on that point HyperX Cloud Deuce Wireless, but definitely up to for using them for a few hours without stopping. Like strange Xbox-exclusive headsets, these feature a button to wirelessly pair them with your console (Beaver State to a PC with the Xbox radio adapter surgery Bluetooth). They also have a ordained gritty and chew the fat audio mixing telephone dial, which you won't retrieve on many headsets out in that respect.

What gives the Kaira Pro its refer and $50 price increase are 2 features: Bluetooth 5.0 and RGB backlighting on Razer's trinity-headed snake logotype planted on all capitulum cup. The RGB backlighting is obvious, but the Bluetooth lets you connect to a phone additionally to your Xbox, so you can play Game Lapse on Android or take calls away from home, like you power with a regular lot of headphones. This pattern likewise features built-in microphones, so you won't have to stamping ground to victimization the large, clastic cardioid mic for making calls. The green particularisation on the Kaira Pro mightiness be too bold for me to be seen wearing them publicly, but at to the lowest degree they aren't much bulkier than many finished-pinna headphones on the securities industry.

Something that's fres here that you'll get to experience with either headset pose is the Razer Headset Setup app for Xbox (also available on PC via the Microsoft Salt away). Instead of relying connected Razer Synapse 3 computer software, like Razer does for all of its other accessories, this app lets you customize the EQ, microphone, and RGB preferences. IT's a low-frills app that does exactly what it sets out to manage.

In that respect are certainly more affordable options than the Kaira Pro from like Astro with its A20 Gen 2 and LucidSound's LS15X. Corsair's likewise-priced HS75 XB is a gradation ahead in damage of sound performance, but lacks a few of the Kaira Pro's features. Whether your heart and soul is place on the Sir Thomas More characteristic-jammed Kaira In favour of or the Kaira, both offer a good deal of treasure for the price.
