Manufacturer Razer has introduced the Kaira Pro. It is a gaming headset aimed at satisfying Xbox players. The strongest competitor here is the Arctis 9X. MeinMMO shows you what the Kaira Pro can do.
What is the Kaira Pro? The gaming headset was officially introduced by Razer today. It is a headset primarily aimed at Xbox players.
What is cool about the headset? The Kaira Pro offers Dual-Wireless. This means you can connect to mobile devices for calls, music, MeinMMO Podcasts, and VoIP chat via Bluetooth while listening to game audio with a lossless 2.4 GHz connection.
Update 11.11.2020: MeinMMO has now tested the Kaira Pro. What we like about Razer’s headset and what buyers need to consider can be found in our review.
Razer’s Kaira Pro is reportedly better than SteelSeries Arctis 9X according to specs
In terms of functionality, Razer’s Kaira Pro can best be compared to the SteelSeries Arctis 9X. Both are high-quality gaming headsets that are particularly interesting for Xbox players. Also, because both devices offer the Dual-Wireless feature, the two devices are well comparable.
What is the SteelSeries Arctis 9X? This is a high-end headset that received very good reviews. For instance, WindowsCentral concludes:
[The Arctis 9X] is a fantastic headset with excellent sound and incredible comfort, but what really makes it shine is the ease of use and compatibility with both the Microsoft console and Windows.
You can find both the Arctis 9X and the Kaira Pro in the Xbox headset ranking list by MeinMMO.
Why might the Kaira Pro be better? When comparing the specs of both headsets, you’ll find that the theoretical values generally favor the Kaira Pro. The Kaira Pro offers …
- slightly extended frequencies compared to the Arctis 9X
- better Bluetooth (5.0 vs 4.1)
- and larger sound drivers (50 mm vs 40 mm). “40 mm” drivers do not necessarily have to be worse than 50 mm. It all depends on the manufacturer and their sound optimization.
What else stands out in the comparison? The headset band on the Kaira Pro is more closed than on the Arctis 9X. This could potentially be a problem for larger heads.
Concerning the drivers, it remains to be seen until the first tests are available. The Arctis 9X from SteelSeries remains a strong headset for gamers, even with Razer’s competition.
