Razer Kaira Pro Wireless for Xbox vs SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless

The features on this headset are absolutely amazing, and I truly love it. Again, the Bluetooth, I love, you all know I need. If you don't need it, aga...

You can also use the headset on its own over Bluetooth, by powering it on and holding the Bluetooth button down until it flashes. It can handle audio sent simultaneously both by the transmitter and the connected Bluetooth device, so you can keep your phone on hand while gaming. It also works standalone without the transmitter in Bluetooth mode, or wired with the included cable.

If you prioritize a longer continuous battery life or are looking for a more neutral sound profile out of the box, go for the SteelSeries, but try the Razer if you want headphones that you can pair with your phone and Xbox simultaneously.

Most of their models share the same ski-goggle-inspired headband design, which features an elastic strap inside a frame that's fixed in place. This design is quite comfortable if your head fits within the rigid frame, but if it doesn't, there's not much you can do. It can also be tricky to get the tension on the elastic strap just right - how tightly they seal affects their bass performance, so depending on how they fit, they can sound different to different people. SteelSeries provides sound customization options in their companion software to help you find a sound profile that works for you, and some of their more premium models even have an onboard EQ

The second pair seemed ok at first, and was already updated when I got it. Mic was alright in party's but supposedly a little quiet according to my friends. But then I tried to play a game (Battlefield 4, 5 and 1, COD, and Cyberpunk to name a few main games I play) And of course I encountered a similar problem. Audio cut outs mainly, during certain sounds, important sounds, like explosions, bass and most every other loud sound

I currently use the Steelseries Arctis Pro (no game dac) and I also have some Sony WH-XM3s and Galaxy Buds for on-the-go listening. Budget is preferably under 150$, but I am willing to stretch it a bit if it means significant improvement to sound. I mostly listen to various genres of rock, 70s/80s pop and a little bit of rap.

He says it's comfortable, easy to use and works just perfectly. Definitely would recommend.

While they're very comfortable, they have one huge setback. They're not noise cancelling. I thought that noise cancelling ear muffs were industry standard, because of how important that is to immersing yourself in the game. I can hear my brother on the Xbox in the other room, my dogs barking downstairs, my mom listening to podcasts and my dad walk through the door

Doesn't hold a significant battery charge. Could do with a battery upgrade. Does not connect reliably to the Xbox series X each time I use it. When it does connect it works very well

Hands down one of the best features of this headset is having 2 batteries. I would say each battery nets you between 7-10 hours of battery life depending on the usage. Swapping batteries is incredibly easy and takes about 10 seconds due to the magnetic coverings on the cans. Another great feature of this headset

I’ve been using this headset for about 6 months - it certainly gets the job done and the sound quality in general is pretty good, but I’ve had three consistent issues with it that make me hesitant to recommend it for the price. First: the headset needs firmware updates out of the box, but you can only run the update on Windows. Not an issue for most, but for me this was a problem. Second: I’ve had consistent connectivity issues since day one

Due to the above experience that I still consider highly preventable if the design around the earphone support was more secured, reinforced, and possibly double or even triple ensured to not have the earphone ever get loose, I'm now watching for structural sturdiness in the next gaming headset. At this point, high on my list is Logitech G PRO X Wireless Gaming Headset with Blue Voice. While it's missing the DAC battery swap out, it does have other features that I like, and out of most other wireless headsets, its design looks sturdy and resilient against earphone coming off loose due to chafing/grinding and breaking of cheap or low-quality plastic. There are other gaming headsets that I wouldn't even consider because their design looks very prone to earphones eventually coming off, just like with this Arctis Pro Wireless one
