"THE BEST XBOX HEADSET SHOWDOWN!!" Xbox Wireless Headset VS Razer Kaira Pro Headset

[@TheTechne]

What one did or would you pick?

[@logantaylor1834]

I have stealth 700s personally. Love 'em to bits

[@maxrockatansky5573]

I bought both and ended up keeping the Xbox headset. To me it was slightly more comfortable, sounded slightly better and was way easier to use, plus it was $50 less.

[@PawelUram]

I had Xbox Wireless Headset for 12 hours but returned them without hesitation. Feature wise, price, comfort - awesome, but I couldn't have stand the sound quality. Even with all recommended EQ settings and lowering bass to minimum, mid frequencies were still mudded with heavy bass - meaning all dialogs, environment sounds, background music sounded basically bad (you can feel rumble in the mids). This bass heavy characteristic seems nice in the beginning but gets ears tired really quickly. I have a feeling, that 40mm drivers when pumping a lot of bass, are lacking power to produce precise mids and highs. I prefer more balanced sound spectrum with punchy, warm, but not rumbling bass. This can be only delivered by 50mm+ drivers. I've never tested Kaira Pro, neither TB Stealth 700, but have compared XWH to other wired 50mm driver headsets. Out of the two: Kaira or Stealth - which one would you recommend for 'all-round' daily use, like gaming, movies, music, video-chat at work etc.? PS. Awesome channel Techne! Keep it up!

Thank you so much for this review… I’ve been looking at reviews for weeks and this one hit the spot for my decision, I picked the Kaira Pro and I was able to get them at $99. 😂 I rushed to the online store right after I finished the vid. Again, thank you. Keep it up.

I love the new wireless headsets. I have the Kaira and ill be putting it away and will not be using it anymore unless somehow my headset stops working. Kaira doesnt even compare, to be honest.

Are they better than the arctis 9x?

[@mistamaog]

I actually appreciate the Xbox Wireless Headset having a lot of bass because for one, a lot of gaming headsets lack bass. And two, with the built in EQ software, you can reduce the bass, get back a fuller sound but still not neglect the bass.

[@solar_playz]

What eq settings do you recommend for the Xbox wireless headset

[@Bbknuckles]

Right! You can always turn the bass down but most of the time you can never truly turn it up. At least to the point that actually sounds good. Xbox really outdid themselves with this headset (for its price range)

[@brandonroebuck504]

Gaming headsets lacking bass?Gaming headsets have primarily fallen into the bassaholic category with very few until recently prioritizing highs and soundstage

[@GunsNBudder]

XBox headset is AMAZING...BUT....forget about hearing footsteps in Warzone. Too bass-ey, zero highs and not much mid. You can hardly even hear ladders. Everyone has dead silence on. Edit for UPDATE: Just got the Kaira Pros. For Warzone, these are 10 times better than the Xbox headset. Not even a contest. Great, technical sound, highs, mids, imaging/direction, everything. Xbox headset is useless by comparison. Kaira Pros were an open-box buy on ebay for $65 and worth every single penny.

[@genefactor007]

Okay I just gotta say, as a dad, I simply adore how you always mention needing to be available in case your son's school call. Man I love that. I also enjoy how you review products. You never put a product down, even if you aren't that into them. Again, amazing video. In fact, I actually pre-ordered the Xbox Wireless headsets and is on my way to Best Buy to pick them up. Can't wait to check them out for myself. Oh, did you happen to do a comparison of the Xbox Wireless headsets to the Steel Series 7X? I actually own the 7X by Steel Series and, well, I suppose I'll be seeing which one I prefer. :)

[@TheTechne]

thank you so much! now I love the 7x as well, but it's missing the bluetooth feature, so kinda stinks at 150$ compared to these

[@neverfeartruth6460]

Good for you! How do you like them? I just found them at Walmart here in Canada after being sold out EVERYWHERE since launch! I grabbed them this morning for $99.99 cdn and they'll be here tomorrow! Let me know how you like them bro? Also just so you know I found out if you don't like the pleather ear pads on the Xbox One Wireless headset, the SteelSeries Arctis 7 ear pads are the exact same size so you can go on Amazon and search Steelseries Arctis 7 replacement ear pads and get different materials and texture ear pads for the Xbox One Wireless headset! How do you like them bro? Thanks!

You didn't mention how much louder the kaira pro headsets are in comparison. I returned the Xbox ones for that very season. They may sound good but clearly fall short in volume adjustment. I hated hearing external noises when playing with these on.

[@darkpoethd9913]

Playing The Village last night for the first time with my new Xbox Headset and the sound and surround really was very impressive and really added to the atmosphere of the game! The 3d separation was brilliant, I have created a custom eq setting and turned the base down and that used with Atmos is just perfect. I find my settings just perfect for every game :)

[@Dakan69]

My xbox wireless headset has been getting disconnected from the xbox once a day. Not a big deal but that shouldn't be happening - it's annoying. I wonder if it's because I have it bluetoothed to my phone at the same time while I'm gaming? I wonder if it can't handle that for very long. Also, I get weird robotic sounds once a while. Also everyone says my mic sounds worse than my last headset (Astro A10's). Have you had any issues with disconnects?

It’s funny to hear you talk about the mic’s and pick the kaira over Xbox. I’m watching the video on my iPad, and when you were talking with the kaira I had to turn my sound up to hear you clearly, it was a little muffled and much softer. Then when you switched to Xbox, I turned the sound down again because it was much clearer. So over this platform I’d have to say Xbox was the winner there.

[@tbroschat81]

No mention of the fact that the Microsoft headset cuts out constantly and has major issues, even as I'm commenting now last night I kept having to turn it off and back on again because it kept losing game audio... They sound great, when they work. Biggest POS I've ever bought from Microsoft.

[@walterheartwell2145]

I have to say I own the Razer and yes they are comfortable and loud but there are many glitches on the xbox for example the audio phasing in and out from time to time and the mic echoes. Also I had a bad hardware issue the ear cuff dettacached from the metal piece. If you are going for a pair of headphones get the xbox one

[@HuntersShorts]

Does this headset still connect to Xbox one and Xbox one s. Or is it specifically series (Kaira pro)

[@cerebrix]

Turtle Beach 700 Gen 2's are better than both. For 50 bucks over the MS wireless you get 50mm drivers, that slick smartphone app that allows you to adjust settings WHILE IN GAME ON YOUR PHONE (this is so understated. If you need to adjust anything with the EQ while a game is going on. You can't with the Microsoft or Razer cans. You have to exit the game, load up their respective app, make your adjustment, and then relaunch the game. Something you just don't have to do since TB was smart enough to put their app on your phone), A better mic than the Microsoft cans, ear cup foam that isolates amazingly with cooling gel and also having an adjustment for glasses wearers, and a mappable button for any feature on the headset. Man that's a ton of value for that 50 bucks. Don't sleep on these. They're damn good.

[@KarlGaff]

got my microsoft wireless headset, think the sound quality is really bad even with changing the EQ to tone the bass down. My son has the wireless Kaira not the pro & I think the sound out of that is a lot better! Both tested on xbox series X.

[@TheTechne]

would you agree the xbox has a bit fuller, more bass sound as well?

@@TheTechne Yes definitely but I think it drowns out too much detail from games, like even racing games. They sound so much better on the Kairo because of the detail! I think it all come down to personal preference doesn't it.

So the takeaway is that both headsets are incredibe, but different. I have the xbox headset and I freakin' love it! Although I think I fall more into the same usage scenario as you (predominantly Fallout 76, GTA O, Forza Horizon 5) but I might just have to pick up a Kaira (not pro) at some point just for the occasional competitive FPS as I do like COD Modern Warfare despite the fact that i absolutely suck at it. I'm kinda surprised the 50mm driver in the Kaira Pro is brighter though As a bit of a side note, I wonder how the xbox headset would perform with kaira earpads (and vica verca) as it looks like they should fit (and pads designed for SS Arctis fit both) as I know earpads have a definite impact on the sound characteristics

[@HW100]

@@g40chris I used two setups, Gen 4 Astro A50's and I used a Gen 4 A40 Mix Amp alongside Senheiser GSP 600's for my wired set as just prefer wired for chat when gaming with my mates, imo nothing could touch either of these sound wise, however, the whole point of them was to be able to mess with the EQ's as it made the Astro's really shine sound wise, without the EQ the A50's now sound really muddy/muffled and although the A40 amp still sounds the better out of the two it doesn't come close to these Kaira's, I have tried these on quite a few games now and would love to pick fault in them but I just cant, super comfortable, light, perfect connectivity and enough volume and Bass to make your ears ring if you need it and no complaints at all with the Mic from myself or my mates, not so with previous Razer's, a £90 headset that spanks a £300 headset and from Razer, my least favourite headsets up to now. There are a few negatives going around, but what headset doesnt have those. If Techne was in the UK I would have sent him the A50's to do a side by side against the Kaira's on the Series X , that would be an interesting one to say the least. I bet you Astro will be releasing a Series X A50 or similar fairly soon as the current ones are a bust on the Series X, I wouldn't recommend anyone buying them and it beats me that these still figure in some reviews as the best headset for the Series X. I will be picking up the Xbox Wireless as well as soon as available, why not? Oh and finally, Techne's settings for these are bang on for me personally and the perfect start settings for those who may want to tweek just a tiny bit.

@@HW100 it's under warranty, and have an RMA for it, but they don't send. Replacement they just refund you. My xbwh sounds a bit muddy...my hyperx cloudx were really nice and crisp in comparison but the mic went bad, people complained it buzzed...I couldn't hear anything was up which is why I picked up the xbwh... But I've got all the lows mids down and the last 2 middle and last 1 high...but not very clear, sometimes font even hear footsteps coming, and that's without people having deady, same in gulag. Was hoping the kaira sounded better... For £35 I'm tempted to pick up the hyperx cloudx again

Make a video comparing xbox wireless headset vs ps5 headset

[@AgentE1Games]

Can you do a video with the Xbox wireless headset vs the Artics 1 wireless for Xbox?

[@Aviationjay76]

I have both and the Xbox headset is the best

[@You_Wumbo]

If you own a Samsung, don't buy the kaira. The Bluetooth quality is absolutely trash

[@rodry912]

Nice vídeo!! 🤩🤩. I want to ask... If is just me .. but sometimes my Kaira pro make some weird noises, like some interference. 😁

[@CristianSavu]

Same is happening to me.

[@terrorbyte2642]

Great review, I think it’s the same with the Xbox set vs the Sony Pulse set. The Pulse are much more clear and precise at the mid/high range, but they don’t give you the immersive experience that the Xbox set does.

[@miltbottleboy]

Ain't watched it yet. But this is the comparison I was looking for 🤠

[@chazbot7]

I bought a kaira pro after watching a past video of yours however I’ve had an issue when in a party on Xbox even when I’m not speaking the mic ring in party chat is always on I’ve got the latest firmware update and I’ve tried everything on the razer app adjusting the frequency range of sounds being picked up, anyone else get this issue?

[@haydenc8452]

yep. The mic is wayy to sensitive. And there is no way to adjust it.... super annoying bc I love these otherwise.

[@syedgilani7108]

i like the mic of the xbox more. it sounds more clear to me

[@sugarray1345]

Microsoft Xbox headset or SteelSeries Arctis 7X for the Series X?

[@Preston-UNC]

Love the review! The Xbox headset better than the Steeleseries arctis 1 wireless? I'm still going strong with those, may be time for a new one

[@clawson32104]

The Arctis 1 Wireless are not versatile since they work wirelessly on everything (Xbox version) at least. I also prefer it's microphone

[@mysticmythgaming3145]

How do they compare to the turtle beach stealth 600 gen 2?

[@CDFortsonIII]

I downloaded Dirt 5 a couple nights ago. It’s a fun game. The sound is really good. My Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 that you recommended handle it very well.

Thanks for posting those time stamps for your audio settings. Made a world of difference on my Kaira Pros.
