Our Verdict
Razer Kaira Pro Wireless
Xbox Wireless Headset
The Razer Kaira Pro Wireless are better wireless gaming headphones for Xbox consoles than the Xbox Wireless Headset. The Razer are better-built, have a better overall performing boom mic, and have significantly lower Xbox Wireless latency. However, the Xbox can also be used wired with their USB-A to USB-C cable for full audio and microphone compatibility.
