When there are many different devices at human disposal, they all need some hardware that they can easily use. Fortunately, there is a very nice hardware compatibility between Xbox and PC, but the pleasure of capturing the same harmony between PC, PlayStation, Xbox and smartphones with a single hardware is really different. The Razer Kaira X is a headset that does exactly that and has a very nice performance for its price.
The Razer Kaira X is not a new headset, it’s been around a lot since it came out. So now I’m immersed in using the headset, so you wouldn’t believe it if I said the review was delayed, but something really close to that happened. I don’t want to try the Xbox performance of the headset, I don’t waste a lot of time until I find a borrowed Series S, then I forget about it, so we have come so far 🙂 But I’m glad I waited, because I think I experienced the headset on all possible platforms.
On the top of the model, which is compatible with all devices, PS5, PS4 and Xbox are written, you need to pay attention to it
Now that we’ve left this little confession behind, let’s go back to Kaira X. When you see the colors of the headset, you might get the idea that it’s designed for PlayStation 5. In any case, the box is PlayStation blue, not the traditional Razer green. The headset itself is also white-weighted, has black and blue details. However, contrary to the first impression, this headset is compatible not only with PlayStation, but also with Xbox One and Series, PC and mobile devices. Because it uses a 3.5mm jack as its port. Razer then went for two separate models, Kaira X for PlayStation and Kaira X for Xbox, I don’t know if these headphones are compatible with other devices, but at least for the Kaira X we have, there is no such incompatibility.
Kaira X has the comfort and adjustments you would expect from this kind of headset by design. I found the headband cushion a bit more comfortable than the Kraken, it didn’t bother at all, even with long use. The ear cushions are also incredibly comfortable, a soft-bodied fabric is used and you don’t even feel it wrap around your ear. In hot weather, artificial leather does not sweat as much as pillows. The size of the headphone parts can of course be adjusted, which allows you to adjust them to fit your head perfectly. The weight of the headset is also under 300 grams, which is a positive detail.
From my experience, I can say that Kaira X gives the best result on PC, I really like the volume. On PlayStation and Xbox, I felt like the sound was a little low, as if I wasn’t hearing as much volume as I do on PC. The main reason for this may be that on consoles we connect the headset through the gamepad. When you try the exact same headset on different devices, you can catch such differences more easily. However, this does not mean that the level is low on consoles, this is only the difference between PC and consoles. When I connected the headset directly to the phone, the sound was loud.
Kaira X;s microphone is not a dumb microphone, but it works. Obviously I would have liked the microphone to be removable, because then it would have been possible to use this headset with the phone outside as well. As it is, you don’t get on the bus with that protruding microphone and listen to music with Kaira X in your head. However, with the simplicity of its colors and the lack of chroma, it has a visuality that can be used just outside. I see the microphone incident as a missed opportunity.
Kaira X;s controls are not inlined, but on the left side of the headset. Here you will find the microphone on and off button and the volume adjustment button. Multimedia controls such as passing, stopping, and rewinding songs are not available. This shows that this headset is actually aimed at playing games, not multimedia (including watching TV shows, movies, etc.). Kaira X;s gaming performance is really nice, I didn’t find anything disturbing about the balance of bass and treble. The fact that it is wired means that there is no delay anyway.
As a result, for those who have a large number of devices at home, a quality headset that can definitely be preferred in daily use Kaira X. It can be found on shopping sites for prices between 900 – 1000 TL, which we can say is an acceptable price range for a Razer headset of this quality. Of course, if you are looking for a special headset only for PlayStation 5 or only Xbox Series, you can choose more expensive models, but if you are one of those who say that a headset is enough for a home like me, Kaira X will do a lot of work.
