The lack of Bluetooth also severely limits the headset's functionality. But the non-removable mic is a huge nuisance, since it will always be in your peripheral vision somewhere. The sound quality is fine, the fit is comfortable and the pairing is effortless. I ran the standard Kaira through similar tests to the Kaira Pro.

This bare-bones version of the Kaira Pro retains the Xbox wireless pairing and general design, but drops the Bluetooth, the removable mic and the extremely sensitive drivers. In addition to the $150 Razer Kaira Pro, the company has also put out the $100 Razer Kaira. This is not an uncommon omission in console-based headsets, but still makes the Kaira Pro feel fairly limited in comparison to something like the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro.
That means no surround sound, no equalization profiles and no mic volume options.

One thing to bear in mind is that the Kaira Pro doesn't work with the Razer Synapse software on PC. The mic is also about what you'd expect for a mid-range gaming headset: A little quiet on the pickup, but clear enough for everyday conversations. Pairing is effortless (just hit one button on the Xbox and another on the Kaira Pro), and battery life is passable: 15 hours with the earcup lights turned on, and up to 20 without them. The Bluetooth itself works fine, though, as does the built-in Xbox wireless functionality. You'll either have to turn off your Xbox manually every time you start up the headset, or invest in another pair of Bluetooth headphones. That's great if you want to boot up your Xbox alongside your Kaira Pro, but a royal pain if you just wanted to use the headset with another system.
Because of the way the Xbox wireless protocol is designed, every time you start up the Kaira Pro headset, your Xbox will start up as well. There is a significant problem with this setup, however, and there's no easy fix for it.

Historically, Xbox wireless headsets have been tough sells after all, do you really want to spend $150 on a headset that works only with a single console? (Or a $25 PC adapter.) By giving the Kaira Pro Bluetooth functionality, Razer ensured that the headset can also work with your PCs, mobile devices and streaming gadgets. The Razer Kaira Pro's Bluetooth functionality is theoretically one of the best things about the headset. The bass could have been stronger, as discussed, but the vocals and instruments all sounded clean, with no distortion or fuzziness. Speaking of music, the Kaira Pro did a fair job with tracks from Flogging Molly, Old Crow Medicine Show, The Rolling Stones and G.F. This is the case for most gaming headsets, to be fair, but it's always a little disappointing when you transition over to movies and music. My only complaint is that the bass was understated. The Kaira Pro also did a good job with the relentless chomping of Maneater, the intense karaoke of Yakuza 0 and the eerie score of Blasphemous, providing a robust and immediate soundscape across the board.
