#Razer bluetooth gaming headset pro
The Razer Kaira Pro goes up against the likes of the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 and the Xbox Wireless Headset as a Bluetooth and Xbox Wireless combo set, and you could certainly do worse. The foam-feeling cushions they put on this thing are a bit warm and even itchy across long sessions. It's loud and clear, but I think some users may find it to be a bit too loud, since it can pick up background noise pretty easily and feed it back to you.įinally, I wish they'd chosen literally any other fabric for those earcups. Since then, however, Razer has updated the app to include a mic monitoring toggle, although there's no way to control the volume. Razer's page for the Kaira Pro says that mic monitoring is present in this headset, but when I originally wrote this review, there was no way to actually turn it on without using a strange workaround. The Beoplay Portal Xbox headset, for example, doesn't even allow this functionality, due to the possibility of degrading the audio quality. I haven't really come across any headsets that have fully solved this problem yet, and it seems to be a limitation of the signal combination. If you use the Bluetooth audio simultaneously with the Xbox Wireless audio, i.e., using a laptop with Bluetooth for Discord, while using Xbox Wireless with your console for game sound, it degrades the signal quality. Speaking of distortion, it feels like the Kaira Pro suffers from another issue that seems prevalent in these types of headsets, which is interference. It's not awful by any means, but certainly noticeable if you're, like me, looking for it. Some bass-heavy games like Battlefield, with its explosions, or even Cyberpunk 2077 with its thundering electropunk soundtrack suffer a bit with this headset, which is uncharacteristic of Razer headsets in general. That's ultimately the problem with this feature set, baking Bluetooth seems to be quite costly, meaning savings end up getting made in other areas. Bass often came through distorted, lacking the clarity I would expect paying $150 for a headset. While the Kaira Pro performs adequately enough when it comes to audio, I did find that at higher volumes, even on the basic EQ preset, it struggled a bit with bass.
It certainly punches above the competition at this price point, without a doubt.
I also found myself pleasantly surprised by the microphone, which offers good quality audio to the listener, and is even somewhat passable for things like streaming and content creation. The headset uses metal on its connectors and inner headband, which should give it some strength and longevity. The foam and cushioning aren't the highest quality out there, and I do wish they'd given a bit more attention to those aspects as someone with sensitive skin, but it's not really a deal breaker. The headset itself is lightweight and comfortable to wear, even across long sessions. The device also has audio cues for when you're hitting the dial's limits or when you're using one of its pairing features. With dials on both sides for master volume and chat mix, alongside separate buttons for power, Bluetooth pairing, and Xbox pairing, navigating the different functions on-ear is easy and convenient.
