Our Verdict
Razer Kaira Pro Wireless
Razer Kaira X
The Razer Kaira Pro Wireless and the Razer Kaira X have different strengths and depending on your usage, you may prefer either one. While both headphones are comfortable and have great mic performances, the Kaira Pro are wireless headphones that are better built and have companion software that offers a graphic EQ and presets. They also support Bluetooth. However, the Kaira X are wired headphones with a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer.
