![]() You can always just turn it off, but then it’s hard to see why you bother to shell out extra for the privilege when you could opt for the standard Kaira (though that comes with a mic you can’t detach) or the wired-only Kaira X. While it can enhance the experience in some games, in others it can be too much of a distracting gimmick that also leaches battery life. However, the haptics that are evidently a factor in its high price doesn’t always hit the mark. It works just as well on other platforms, though ironically, by requiring a USB-C port for its wireless dongle, that means PSVR2 owners would need another audio option. The Razer Kaira Pro is a terrific wireless headset that doesn’t just look a fine match for the PS5 it’s been designed for, but is one of the most comfortable headsets you can wear for long gaming sessions. We were able to switch from our phone to our Switch straight away, without having to fiddle with the Bluetooth Audio option on the Switch settings like we usually do. There’s also a neat quick connect function where it shows all the devices you’ve paired the headset too, letting you switch between audio sources quickly. It’s on this app where you can set the headset to ‘do not disturb’ when gaming in 2.4GHz, so if you do receive an incoming call the audio won’t automatically switch over to Bluetooth. You’ll be oblivious unless you’re also a streamer, but if you’d rather conserve the headset battery, you can just turn it off. Once the Razer Kaira Pro is paired to the app you can see your remaining battery percentage, and customise the headset’s RGB Chroma effects to colours of your choice: think pulsing with a breathing effect, keeping it static or flashing in beat to the audio. ![]() The equaliser does offer a few presets, and you can customise it yourself the layout will be fine for most users when compared to the overkill of Turtle Beach’s audio hub. Sound quality and noise cancellationĬompared to other audio apps we’ve used, Razer’s feels comparatively austere. It’s less of an issue for PS5 users now you can use the popular VOIP app via the console itself, though. That’s a feature you’ll find in (admittedly pricier) headsets such as the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro and potentially a deal breaker for Switch users trying to coordinate with Splatoon 3 teammates over Discord. ![]() The Kaira Pro can switch between wireless and Bluetooth fairly seamlessly, and even automatically switch to Bluetooth if you have an incoming call, it’s not able to output both at the same time. Arguably the head haptics in that headset are superior anyway. On the flipside, since PSVR2 also uses USB-C, and there’s only one of these ports on the PS5, you won’t be able to use the Razer Kaira Pro for VR gaming. ![]() Still, for those who do grow accustomed to its perks, the haptics do work – whether the audio is coming via the 2.4Ghz wireless dongle or Bluetooth, and also for non-PS5 platforms.Īs the dongle has a USB-C connection, you can get ultra-low latency audio on a Nintendo Switch in handheld mode or Steam Deck. When we keep the feature on, the low battery alert chimed well before the 30 hours of listening estimated by Razer. ![]() It’s also a huge factor towards draining the headset’s battery. ![]()
