Our Verdict

ROCCAT Elo 7.1 Air Wireless

ROCCAT Syn Pro Air Wireless

The ROCCAT Elo 7.1 Air Wireless are better for wireless gaming than the ROCCAT Syn Pro Air Wireless. The Elo 7.1 Air's boom mic has a much better recording quality, and they deliver somewhat lower latency over non-Bluetooth wireless. They also have onboard channel mixing controls. On the other hand, the Syn Pro Air lack channel mixing but have onboard mic monitoring controls. Their continuous battery life is much longer, and they have a more casual look that some may prefer.
