Our Verdict

Razer Kaira Pro Wireless

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal are more versatile headphones than the Razer Kaira Pro Wireless. The Bang & Olufsen offer better noise isolation thanks to their ANC feature, and the included audio cables offer full audio and microphone compatibility when plugged into PlayStation and Xbox controllers, although the headphones need to be turned on in order to use their TRRS cable. However, the Razer have a better microphone performance and a longer continuous battery life.
