These controls all work well, but they’re a little indistinct-the two dials feel identical, and so do all the buttons. There’s also a mic mute switch on the left headphone. This gaming headset sports a lot of on-ear controls, with dials to control headphone volume and game/chat mix, and buttons for power, Bluetooth, and pairing over Xbox Wireless. Even though the Razer Kaira Pro supports Razer Chroma, the only way to adjust the colored LED logos adorning the headphones is through an Xbox app, so you don’t even need to fuss with Razer Synapse. That’s pretty much the only thing to do before getting into a game. If you’re a PC gamer, you need an additional adapter for Xbox Wireless, but after pairing with that, the headset connects just as easily. Pair it with the console once, and it will automatically connect every time you turn it on. If you’re already knee-deep in Xbox land, this works just like any controller. Using the Razer Kaira Pro is pretty straightforward. The headset sports two microphones-a detachable one for gaming, and an internal one for Bluetooth. Gamers with glasses won’t find it as comfortable as something like velour, but it’s softer and more flexible than leatherette, and establishing a decent seal with it is pretty easy. The ear pads and headband cushion are made of memory foam covered in Razer’s flowknit mesh fabric, which manages heat very well (kind of like the Airweave fabric SteelSeries uses).

It’s made primarily of black, matte-textured plastic, with Razer’s typical bright green highlights. The Razer Kaira Pro is a wireless gaming headset for the Xbox Series S/X and platforms that support Xbox Wireless, as well as mobile. This gaming headset is designed to be a little less egregiously gamer in its aesthetic, without losing the features that define it, and in that, it’s largely pretty successful. The brushed metal circles of the Kraken, Nari, and Thresher are gone, replaced with a smoother, lower-profile design. Much like the Razer Opus and BlackShark V2, the Razer Kaira Pro shows Razer is serious about moving the look of its gaming headsets forward. Sure, it still lights up, but the Kaira Pro is definitely one of Razer’s more low-key headsets.
