The one tiny fault is that you really can't use the haptics in co-op gaming where you're talking to your friends and teammates. In essence, it builds on what the Nair Ultimate offered, and has refined the execution of it, as well as added some flexibility on board with the ability to change between four strengths of feedback (including 'off'). It can also be surprisingly nuanced too with further away rumbles being lighter on the head, rather than close-up gunfire from your own weapon.

The rumble of gunfire is particularly immersive, and when you turn the haptics up to their full power, it really is something else to behold. The success is that it offers incredible extra immersion levels into any games you play. And, in short, it is a great success - bar one tiny fault. This will likely be the major selling point for players looking for a premium,m headset that offers something different, and it's going to be a great unique selling point for the headset generally. Where else to start the performance run down than the haptics.

Razer Kaira Pro for PlayStation review: performance There's nothing worse than extra bits on headsets, particularly when you're not using them. This added connectivity is a bonus, and being able to flip between games audio, and taking phone calls is a nice bit of flexibility.Īnd lastly, the mic is one of Razer's new super-dooper HyperClear Supercardioid microphones, and is detachable for when you're not communicating with friends and teammates, which is excellent. It's worth noting that the headset also features dual connectivity - in that you can connect wirelessly to the dongle, and also pair it to a phone via Bluetooth, meaning you can take calls while at play seamlessly. The controls are spread across the two cups with the left one housing the power button, volume dial, and mic mute button while the right cup has the multi-function button, the game/chat audio mix dial, and the hypersense haptics control button - more on that below.

(Turning them off will get you some more juice out of your battery, too.)

These are nice little touches that are on by default, but can easily be controlled by a PC or via the Razer audio or Chroma apps. On the outside of the cups are the controls and, everyone will be glad to hear, the RGB logos.

Inside the cups are 50mm drivers Razer's new line of TriForce Titanium that have featured across Razer's headsets of the last couple of years, and that have proven pedigree and downright quality. The Kaira Pro for PlayStation is not the only Kaira for Sony's consoles: the Kaira X is an excellent wired headset which is the entry-level model while the Kaira for PlayStation is the middle headset, offering wireless connectivity, but not offering the haptics that the Pro does. A little more stiffness and stability would even this out, for sure. This doesn't relate to any structural instability, but it is very annoying especially when you have a controller in the other hand, or are trying to put them back in a drawer neatly, place them on something, or just take them off and put them on with one hand. The exception to the solid build would be that the cups swing around as they see fit when you pick up the headset. The metal ratchet gives confidence in both being able to hold the slot and fit you've selected but also that it could take a knock or two at this traditional weak point on a headset. These also house the sliders for getting your fit just right. This colour scheme is only punctuated by the metallic brackets that sit where the headband meets earcups on either side. It's a sleek design overall, and the black and white combo makes for a killer look. The Kaira Pro for PlayStation, unsurprisingly, keeps its form and aesthetics right in line with the other Kaira models that have come before. Razer Kaira Pro for PlayStation: design and features
