Before trying the Razer Kaira Hyperspeed, I was already familiar with the Razer brand: the Razer Kraken Kitty Edition BT is part of my everyday life and my favorite choice in the environment. gaming, in my professional environment—whether it’s video editing or just listening to something in the background while I work—or even while traveling on the train. I’ve always preferred over-ear headphones and was looking forward to trying something from a slightly higher end of the range. Is the Kaira Hyperspeed range worth it? I’ll tell you in this analysis of the Razer Kaira Hyperspeed for Xbox.
In terms of appearance, we have a headband-type gaming headset to match our Xbox Series X, in green and black colors, and with a cardioid microphone incorporated into its design. This really turns out ergonomic and we can adjust not only the height of the speakers, but also their rotation; this allows us to adapt it better to the head and, in my case, I have found headphones that I can use for hours without feeling any kind of pressure or discomfort, even when I am wearing the glasses.

Another aspect to highlight within this ergonomics are the speaker protectors. While in my Kraken Kitty Edition I end up noticing sweat around my ears with some discomfort when I use them for a long time, with the Kaira Hyperspeed this does not happen or occurs to a lesser extent, something that is welcome now that summer is here. This is due to the material of the speakers of the Razer Kaira Hyperspeed is cloth, while in the Kraken Kitty Edition it is made of synthetic leather. This material, in addition to improving the transfer of temperature in our ears, provides a better duration than those made of leather, although it can negatively affect the insulation.
Upon receiving them, we are presented with the headphones with a device that connects via USB-C or via a USB 3.0 adapter to our consoles, PC or mobile and with their respective cables and adapters. This device has already been used in other Razer brand headphones and has the technology 2.4GHz Razer Hyperspeed Wireless, which allows a comfortable and direct connection with our Xbox or PC and also guarantees a much more stable connection than Bluetooth. This provides us with minimal latency and considerably improves sound quality, both in input and output.
In addition, our device has two modes: USB and Xbox, recommending the second when we are going to use our Razer Kaira Hyperspeed on Xbox consoles (Xbox Series X|S or One X). It connects via USB-C, but as we mentioned before, the headphones come with an adapter cable that will allow us to connect this device to USB-A, facilitating its versatility and allowing us to use it on any console, PC or mobile phone.
I tested the headset with Xbox Series X, other consoles, and PCs within scope gaming and I confess that I did not perceive a considerable difference. On every platform I’ve played the Kaira Hyperspeed on, I’ve enjoyed absolute immersion and perfect isolationhighly recommended for an intense game in which you do not want to be bothered by anything or anyone.
Using the Razer Kaira Hyperspeed on Xbox
Within the Xbox catalog, I decided that there was no better candidate to test these headphones than hellblade and, of course, I was not wrong.
Both the voices, as well as the sound effects and music were heard perfectly and gave us the perfect isolation. For a game like this, which relies so much on binaural listening, it was very important to feel that the voices were on our side – and to be able to distinguish which of our sides. The Razer Kaira Hyperspeed achieve this effect and we can fully immerse ourselves in the experience; We won’t lose any sound detail, something very relevant in titles like Hellblade.
I’ve had the opportunity to test them in other titles that I play frequently and, although binaural listening is not given as much importance in these, the use of headphones helps me to immerse myself much more in the experience and – something that in the personal I value a lot—enjoy the soundtracks and dialogues without the bother of external noises. I didn’t even know when they knocked on the door of the house… although, well, that in certain cases may not be ideal, so you have been warned.
Using the Razer Kaira Hyperspeed on other devices
When it comes to using it on PC and other consoles, I haven’t noticed a big difference in sound quality and latency. In all cases I used the Razer Hyperspeed Wireless connection and the experience was great.
Beyond the environment gamingin which I recommend the use of these headphones, also I highlight its usefulness for other purposes: In my case, in video editing, the Kaira Hyperspeed have turned out to be great co-workers and their great isolation capacity greatly facilitates my concentration at work.

If I had to name one device that I haven’t found all that appealing, it would be mobile. Not so much because of the connection —in which it is more natural to resort to Bluetooth, which means lower quality—, but because of the design; Being accompanied by a microphone, I don’t see myself using them to go out on the street or during a train ride. Its design is more homemade and I consider that in these cases it is more convenient to resort to in ear or ones like the Kraken Kitty BT, which do not have a microphone.
conclusions
My conclusion is that the Razer Kaira Hyperspeed are a great choice for both the environment gaming like a professional environment in video or sound editing areas. The ease of connection and quality of the Razer Hyperspeed Wireless makes them my preferred option when playing games, working or chatting on Discord, since they are very comfortable and I can wear them for hours without discomfort. Besides, the duration of its battery assures us more than 30 hours of operation, so it is another good reason to recommend it to people who spend long hours playing or want to use it in long sessions in other multimedia environments.
They are headphones for home and professional use that I recommend to those who want to enjoy Xbox video games to the fullest, although if you simply want them to listen to music or watch TikToks on your commute to work, I would choose a cheaper option among the options from Razer for over-ear headphones.
