Again, while not a deal-breaker, the difference was more noticeable after the impressive performance while playing on PlayStation. I had a similar problem playing Battlefield 2042, although the headset was still fantastic in terms of helping me locate the location of enemies. Playing Super Mario Odyessy on the Switch, the audio remained crisp and clear, but lacked the depth it offered up on PlayStation. The Kaira X had a bad habit of crackling for a couple of minutes every time I plugged it into my PC, although this didn’t seem to impede the overall audio. The music in Deathloop shined with this headset, delivering punchy bass that raised the tension in the moments before I was caught by an enemy.Ĭomparing this to other headsets that are specifically for the PlayStation, the Kaira X falls slightly behind the HyperX Cloud, only on the basis that the audio quality was noticeably less impressive when I moved away from the PS5. When playing through Deathloop, the Razer Kaira X headset was helpful for locating enemies, offering up great tonal balance. Razer HyperClear Cardioid microphone for great voice capture.

Razer TriForce 50mm drivers for impressive audio.But if you just want a basic gaming headset that looks and sounds great, then there’s still plenty to like here. There’s also no RGB lighting, which is a slight disappointment since this is often one of Razer’s strengths. You don’t even get 3D audio like the Sony Pulse 3D Headset.

There aren’t any special PS5 features you’re getting here compared to any other regular gaming headset. The Kaira X headset isn’t overflowing with helpful features, but considering the price and the audio quality – which we’ll cover later – I didn’t feel like I was missing out on much. This isn’t a deal breaker, but it’s something to keep in mind if you want a headset primarily for playing single-play games. This usually meant it was sitting in my peripheral version while I was gaming. It can’t be detached or even flipped up, so I found myself having to bend it up and away from me when it wasn’t in use. The main gripe I have with the Kaira X’s design is the mic.

The left earcup doesn’t have any controls, which made the headset far easier to navigate, once you’re used to only reaching for the right side.Ī 1.3m cable proved the perfect length, since it enabled the headset to be connected directly to a PS5 controller, or a Switch in portable mode, without feeling like it was in the way. There’s a volume roller and a switch for toggling the microphone, too. The right earcup of the Kaira X is home to both the microphone and the wired connector, neither of which you can disconnect. As such, I could wear this headset for hours on end without issue. The lightweight build does make the headset super-easy to wear for long periods of time, and it’s a fairly wide set, I never felt like the Kaira X was pushing into my head or down on my neck. While it isn’t exactly fragile, the plasticky build doesn’t feel as sturdy as the Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense, for example, due to a lack of metal reinforcement.

It’s sleek, but falls slightly short of the level of sturdiness delivered by Razer’s other headsets. The design of the Razer Kaira X is very similar to the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller, which makes perfect sense, seeing as this is primarily a PS5 headset. Uses 3.5mm audio jack for wired connection.Here’s how I got on with the Razer Kaira X headset. It’s been a great three weeks using this headset, especially considering its low price. This headset can’t be accused of favouritism: I’ve used it with my PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC, and I can confirm that it offers up amazing audio quality across all platforms, although the PS5 is where the Kaira X really shines. The Razer Kaira X is a wired headset designed for the PlayStation 5, but it still delivers cross-platform compatibility, thanks to the 3.5mm audio jack.
