The Razer Kaira Pro Wireless are wireless gaming headphones that come in Xbox and PlayStation variants. They're comfortable, well-built, and have low audio latency. They're also Bluetooth-compatible and have a companion app with plenty of configuration options, including a graphic EQ to fine-tune their boomy, somewhat imbalanced default sound profile, and a customizable RGB lighting scheme. Unfortunately, they block out very little ambient noise and are quite bulky. Still, if you're looking for versatile wireless gaming headphones that can also cope with day-to-day use, these are a good choice.
Our Verdict
The Razer Kaira Pro are fair for neutral sound. These headphones struggle to deliver audio consistently. Their out-of-the-box sound profile is also somewhat unbalanced, with a boomy bass range, cluttered and muddy mids, and an underemphasized, uneven treble range. Thankfully, their companion app has audio presets as well as a graphic EQ to help you adjust their sound profile to your liking.
- Companion app with many configuration features.
- Middling frequency response consistency.
The Razer Kaira Pro are alright for commuting and traveling. While they're bulky and do little to filter out the rumble of bus engines, they're Bluetooth-compatible, which should allow you to connect to your phone without the use of a dongle. They have low Bluetooth latency with mobile iOS devices, which is good if you like to watch videos on your way into the office. They're also comfortable enough to wear for extended periods and have a near 20-hour battery life, so they should last throughout long trips.
- Great build quality.
- Low Bluetooth latency with iOS devices.
- Bulky design.
- Sub-par noise isolation capability.
The Razer Kaira Pro are okay for sports and fitness, though this isn't their intended use. They're quite bulky and aren't likely to stay in place during intense workouts, but their wireless design eliminates the risk of an audio cable snagging on something and yanking the headphones from your head. They feel sturdy enough to take some minor drops and bumps and have a control scheme that places all essential functions within easy reach.
- Great build quality.
- Bulky design.
The Razer Kaira Pro are a fair choice for office use. They don't block out that much background chatter and leak some audio. On the upside, you can connect them to your PC via Bluetooth, their roughly 20 hours of battery life should easily get you through a couple of days at work, and they feel quite comfortable, even throughout extended listening sessions. You can also remove their boom mic to give them a more casual look.
- Comfortable fit.
- Sub-par noise isolation capability.

- Great overall microphone performance.
- Low non-Bluetooth latency with compatible devices.
- Middling frequency response consistency.
The Razer Kaira Pro are wireless-only and can't be used on a wired connection.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The Razer Kaira Pro are only available in one color: 'Black'. That said, you can pick up these headphones with either PlayStation or Xbox compatibility. We tested the Xbox variant and you can see its label here. Another pair of headphones, simply designated the Razer Kaira, are similarly-designed to the Razer Kaira Pro, but don't have RGB lighting and aren't Bluetooth-compatible. We can't confirm if the headphones perform similarly overall.
If you come across a differently-configured variant, let us know in the forums so we can update our review.

The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Wireless and Razer Kaira Pro Wireless are very well-matched, so you may prefer one over the other depending on minor differences.

Meanwhile, the Razer are comfier, have a superior boom microphone, leak less audio, and have slightly longer battery life. They also have lower non-Bluetooth latency.
