Is it possible to love a thoroughly middling headset?

“Kaira” is a Greek word meaning “opportune moment,” and when the Kaira gaming headset series from Razer first launched in 2020, it was their biggest step yet into the Xbox ecosystem. They were clearly looking to capitalize on the relative dearth of Xbox Wireless products in the marketplace, and make a big splash launching alongside the new Series X and S systems.

I had the pleasure of reviewing the original Xbox version of the Kaira Pro headset and I loved it, and it seemed like only a matter of time until they launched it across all other platforms as well. It took longer than I expected, but Razer finally brought the Kaira to all gamers, starting with a fully compatible wired budget “X” model, and crowning the family with a beefed up version of the Pro for PlayStation 4 and 5.

This newest Kaira Pro for PlayStation sells for $199 (official site here). I didn’t pay that much for it. I watched it receive discount after discount at my local Best Buy, and finally sprang for it out of my own pocket at around $130. Razer didn’t ask me to write this, and I don’t use affiliate links in any of my stories as I think they’ve ruined online product criticism.
