The verdict
The Razer Kaira is a pared-back version of the Razer Kaira Pro that keeps most of its strengths, like a good microphone and comfortable build, and its most unfortunate weakness.
✓Liked: Xbox Wireless means no dongle with the console, Good mic, Battery life, Comfortable
✕Could be better: Boosted bass, Xbox Wireless means the headset is bad on other platforms
