Razer Barracuda X Wireless Gaming & Mobile Headset, Black

I've been using the Razer Barracuda X for a while now, and I'm really impressed with them. The sound quality is clear and balanced, making them great for gaming, music, and videos. The noise cancellation does a good job of reducing background noise, helping me stay focused without completely blocking out my surroundings.One of my favorite features is the ability to switch between Bluetooth and the 2.4 GHz wireless connection. It makes the headset incredibly versatile and easy to use with different devices. They're also very comfortable, even during long gaming sessions, thanks to the lightweight design and soft ear cushions.Overall, I think these headphones offer excellent value for the price. If you're looking for a comfortable wireless headset with good sound quality and flexible connectivity, the Razer Barracuda X is a great choice.

I was looking for essentially the best bluetooth mic I could get for work. A boom mic would be the minimum requirement for me, because you need the mic physically close to your mouth, so it had to be some sort of gaming headset. After that, I looked for mic sound tests and all that.So, you'll watch reviews and hear soundtests for the mic, and you'll think it sounds kinda bad on bluetooth. Plus some of the negative reviews on Amazon would make you concerned on the build quality. Even using the USB C dongle, other headsets like the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro or the Hyperspeed are significantly better.Well, take this from an audiophile: I tried these first hand and they are great. From the build quality, the mic quality and ability to not pick up background noise, all the way to the sound quality on bluetooth. I was under the impression that I was going to settle for a mediocre mic, and thankfully that's not the case at all. This mic is up there with a desktop boom mic, and sounds better than my $150 Logi Pro X. Your voice comes across clear and crisp without background noise, even if you speak at a low volume.The default EQ preset is garbage, but download the EQ app and set the preset to music or do your own custom preset, and it definitely surpassed my expectations. They also feel super solid though I'll have to break them in for a bit. So far, I love them. I'm glad I didn't go for the more expensive BlackShark hyperspeed. If these ever break on me, I'm more likely to buy them again than not. Sound clarity / definition is definitely good, comparable to quality open-backs like Sennheiser's. Sadly Razer uses a trash EQ by default, but nothing that can't be fixed by the user.These can get "bust-your-eardrums" loud, if necessary. The thing itself is not uncomfortable and does not put a ton of pressure on your skull, but with time and use it gets gradually more comfortable.I love how well-built they are. They are lightweight, but not in a cheap way. Razer is slowly earning me as a loyal customer, this is my third device from them and it's a hit like the others. First two being the Kiyo Pro webcam and the Siren V2 X mic.One tip for Discord regardless of device or headset: Disable echo cancellation, It only causes problems.The auto call switching feature is a nice add-on, and the USB-C dongle works on your phone if you want, even with a case on, as long as it's not a very thick case.10/10, I hope Razer doesn't abandon this product line (at this price) and they continue to make newer / better iterations years down the line.EDIT: I ended up downloading Wavelet on my phone and using an AutoEQ profile specific to the 2022 Barracuda X. I couldn't be happier, sound clarity and quality improved a lot. (If you wanna do this and previously used the Razer app to set an EQ preset, go back to that app, connect the headset, and change it back to default. Otherwise the AutoEQ won't work properly).

First of all, this is a great headset. It is comfortable to wear, and works perfectly in Linux. I cannot speak of how it works on Windows, since I do not use Windows.The Type C connector on the headset is amazing. It allows charging no less than four times as fast as a type A port. (And a Micro USB is just a different connector on a Type A cable.)The 2.4 Ghz Type C connector is great too since Type C is the future of USB, and Type A will eventually be entirely replaced.Please do understand that 7.1 is not real. It can be emulated via Dolby, but *ONLY* on Windows. Dolby could spend a few hours and write a tiny package that would allow it to work on all systems, but they only care about Windows.The headset has two speakers. Not eight as 7.1 would require.There are some minor issues with this headset. First of all, the power button is not a switch. You have to press and hold it until the headset tells you it is on.Second, the headset automatically powers off after a time if nothing is playing through it. This is an idiotic mistake on the part of Razor. Imagine if you are playing a game, and have a loading screen that is longer than the autoshutoff time. Then you have to wast ~10 seconds to get it working again. (~5 to get it to turn on, then another ~5 before it actually begins working.Second, the position of the volume control wheel is awful. If you are laying down wearing it, with a pillow behind your head to keep your head at an angle to watch a film, every little movement will mess with the volume. Bad design Razor. Do better with the next model.And finally one more issue that I did find a workaround for.Every once in a while, it will simply fail to work. It will continue to try to pair and never manage it. The solution I found is to disconnect the connector and reconnect it. This is a pain if your PC is not right next to you. So my solution was to buy a Type C male to female extension cord. That way I can have the connector right next to me. And not have to get out of bed to fix it.Please note that I gave Noise Cancellation 4 stars, because I presume it works, but I have not even plugged in the microphone. I do not need it. So pay attention to other reviews if the microphone or the Noise Cancellation matters to you.

I bought these with pretty high expectations because it’s Razer, and I’ve always heard good things about the brand. I thought the sound quality was going to be amazing right out of the box, especially for gaming and streaming.After using them for a while, I’d say they do their job, but they’re not as impressive as I expected. The sound is decent and clear enough for everyday use, but if you’re looking for something with really strong bass or super detailed audio, this might feel a bit underwhelming.That being said, they’re actually pretty comfortable, which I really appreciate. I can wear them for long periods without them bothering me, and the battery life has been great so far. I also like that I can easily switch between devices, which is useful when I’m going from my setup to my phone.I’ve been using them for streaming and general use, and honestly, they’ve been reliable. I wouldn’t say they’re top-tier, but they’re a solid option if you’re just starting out and don’t want to spend too much.Overall, I think these are good as a beginner headset. Not the most powerful in terms of sound, but still practical and worth it for the price.

I’ve been daily driving the Razer Barracuda X for several weeks now, and it has completely solved a massive daily problem for me: how to edit videos or check audio on the couch without disturbing the rest of the living room. If you are looking for a highly versatile headset that balances performance with everyday household convenience, this is it.Here are a few reasons why this headset has earned a permanent spot in my daily workflow:The Killer Feature (Smart Switch): The dual-wireless connectivity is incredibly intuitive. I keep the USB-C dongle plugged directly into my tablet for editing, while the headset stays paired to my phone via Bluetooth. It handles both connections simultaneously. If a phone call comes in while I’m working, it automatically switches over. When I want to switch back or toggle between devices manually, a quick double-tap on the headset button does it instantly. It's completely hassle-free. All-Day "Dad Comfort": At only 250 grams, this headset is incredibly lightweight. Combined with the breathable FlowKnit fabric ear cups, you honestly forget you're wearing them. Unlike traditional leatherette cushions that trap heat, these stay cool and comfortable even during long, multi-hour editing or gaming sessions. Great Audio & Clean Mic: The sound profile is crisp and well-balanced for cutting video audio or jumping into a game. Plus, the detachable mic is a great touch. When my wife calls me during an audio test, the voice pickup is clear, making it perfect for quick calls or jumping on a gaming chat. The Bottom Line:Whether you are a creator trying to stay productive on the couch, a gamer looking to jump seamlessly between a console and a mobile phone, or just someone trying to keep the peace at home—this headset passes the test with flying colors. Highly recommended!

Okay so... so many of these reviews talk about this headset having great audio. People who LOVE audio even say its so good...I put these things on to set them up for my girl, played a youtube video and it literally sounded like a pair of airpods playing from across the room inside of a tin can. I was insulted at the audio quality. What the hell? I've owned several Razer headsets in my time and I've never had a single one sound so utterly trash. Immediate return.The device itself? It's cute AF, she loved it, and it feels lightweight and sturdy. Though I'm sure with a non-careful hand one might snap something if they set it down to hard or yank to much to pull it off their head. Use TWO hands people. Cmon. I've seen your reviews...Everything about this item is great, except the god awful sound quality when using bluetooth. I refuse to let her experience video games and music at this poor level of quality.THAT being said, when plugging in the audio jack, the quality was slightly improved, but unfortunately only coming out clear through 1 ear cup, and half as loud in the other one, and not so improved as to be worth wearing these over some standard issue call center headset... Hmm. Literally a pair of 2005 ipod earphones sounds better.I'm returning these ones and getting the exact same pair in hopes that perhaps it is just a defective model. I will update the review to let you all know.I'll also look into whether or not it is the software drivers, which, low key hard to update as these headphones do not work with Synapse.To be fair, I didn't try all that hard to update them due to the distaste I had from hearing the initial BT quality. I work with music and audio on hobby projects so yes I know about EQ apps and the like, but I wasn't even going to bother with this particular pair after hearing the audio jack quality.Frankly you shouldn't need a 3rd party EQ app to make things sound better. They should sound good on their own, and the EQ apps can serve to enhance them if you want. Hard to enhance garbage sound quality though..Really confusing when looking at all the glowing reviews for this product, so I'm holding out that there is hope for this purchase. We will see tonight when they show up. Razer is usually a good product.Will keep you appraised.*EDIT*2nd pair sound more like it did with the audio jack plugged in. which was just OK. By no means amazing or great. My air pods have better quality than these. Like I said though, they are super cute and lightweight, and they earcups are comfy. I'm just disappointed in the sound. First pair was certainly defective.

If you are wondering if this is a good headset, the answer is yes, and you should buy it. Keep reading if you want the details.I watched hours of YouTube reviews looking for the wireless headset that would strike a perfect balance between build, sound, and mic quality. My previous set was a Logitech G432 wired headset. It suffered from poor build quality (you could hear plastic creaking when you turn your head) and the normal wired-headset issues (restricted mobility, a cable that gets tangled etc).The Barracuda X is an amazing deal for the money.- Sound Quality: Great. I’m not an audiophile, I know literally nothing about music. So if you’re similar then you’ll love these. If you know a lot about sound and music you’ll probably think they are a little heavy on the bass, but still good. at least that’s what a lot of reviews said. If you’re an average joe like me you won’t care.- Mic Quality: Awesome. I know some reviews have complained this is a weak point but I’m telling you the mic quality is stellar for a wireless set. Of all the mic tests I listened to on YouTube this set was the best. It even sounded better than some $200 sets!- Build Quality: Great. There is no plastic creaking sound when you’re handling them or turning your head while wearing them. They feel very light but still “solidly” built. They don’t look like a gamer headset so you can take them on trips or public places without worrying about standing out or looking like a weirdo.- Comfort: Awesome. I have a small head and they fit amazing. Not too tight, not too loose.- Battery Life: the 50hr battery life is no joke. I have used them frequently (1-5hrs a day) after the first charge and have not needed to recharge them a week later.- Connectivity: I had no issues using the 2.5ghz, Bluetooth, or 3.5mm jack. The mic quality was best with the 2.5ghz, and suffered a bit with the Bluetooth, which is to be expected.Summary: If, like me, you are wading through a proverbial ocean of headset options and not sure which one is the best value, then just get these and you’ll be happy. This headset checks all the boxes.

Pros: The sound is really nice and feels very immersive to me. The bass isn't too cloudy and the treble isn't piercing.I have a smallish head so the base length fits well enough, but I always go a size up just in case. Because they're so lightweight, the earcups don't come off my ears too easily. Though it feels a bit cheap and plasticy (because it's plastic I think), it holds quite well. I've even managed to fall asleep on them with no damage, though still try to avoid it. Compared to the space q45 headphones from Soundcore, these are way better for the price, given the amount of connection options.The battery is... uh, I think they enchanted this battery. Out of the box, it was at like 80%, and nowadays it remains at a stable 50% throughout the day if I don't charge it. It's crazy how long it actually lasts. The latency is almost unnoticeable, but I'm not sure how much can be said when it comes to the mic.Cons: The switching between bluetooth and hyperspeed wireless is finicky. When it's connected via USB but in Bluetooth mode, any sound from that source overrides the Bluetooth by actively pausing the sound, if possible. Sometimes, when you're in hyperspeed wireless mode and you switch back to Bluetooth, the sound gets weird and stuttery, which is fixable by unplugging the wireless adapter and rebooting the headphones. The connection does produce faint clicky sounds when it's not playing anything on Bluetooth, but it's easy to get used to.The microphone is alright, though I do wish that there was an option to disable whatever noise-cancellation it does itself, and an option to use it as headphones without a mic when it's not plugged in. Maybe develop an attachment on top of the headphones that stores the mic; I'd gladly buy something like that.Keep in mind that there's no active noise cancellation, but I think it's somewhat passive. The volume knob is separate from the actual device volume, which is a good touch for any fine-tuning.If you're not keen on spending too much for a gaming headset, this is a nice option.

La verdad es que los compré para reuniones en MTeams, y funcionan excelente. Se escucha genial, son una ganga.

Los Razer Barracuda X han superado mis expectativas. Como gamer, siempre busco auriculares que no solo tengan buen sonido, sino que también sean cómodos para jugar durante horas. Y estos cumplen con creces.Primero, el sonido es impresionante. Los bajos son profundos, los agudos claros y, lo más importante, los detalles en los juegos se escuchan nítidos, lo que mejora muchísimo la experiencia de juego. Ya sea que esté jugando un título de acción o disfrutando de una partida multijugador, la calidad del sonido me hace sentir mucho más inmerso en el juego.En cuanto a comodidad, estos auriculares son perfectos. Son livianos, las almohadillas se sienten suaves y, lo mejor, no aprietan en la cabeza. Incluso después de jugar durante varias horas, no siento incomodidad, algo que para mí es fundamental. El ajuste es muy bueno y, gracias a su diseño inalámbrico, no tengo que preocuparme por cables molestos.La batería también es excelente, dura mucho tiempo con una sola carga, lo que es un plus si me olvido de cargarlo después de jugar. Además, el micrófono es claro y no recoge ruidos de fondo, lo cual es genial cuando juego con amigos.

Daha önce Razer Opus X kullandım güzel bir kulaklık idi. Şimdi ise hem telefon hem de PC platformu için bu kulaklığı buldum. HyperSpeed özelliği sayesinde ses gecikmesi yaşamıyorsunuz. Kablolu kulaklık da kullandığım için aradaki farkı anlayamadım. Alın aldırın diyebileceğim ürünlerden bir tanesi.

So happy with my new headphones sound fantastic and clear.

Dollar for dollar this is the most useful, convenient headset for everything except Xbox. The dual connectivity and other features included are actually incredible at this price point. It truly surprised me because it doesn’t sacrifice sound quality to allow for all these features. They kept it simple in the looks department, no gamery look or RGB which is very nice. The sports mesh ear cups are light and breathable, way better than anything pleather, it doesn’t get too hot. The wireless sound quality is perfect, don’t be put off by the 40mm drivers, they sound every bit as good if not better than other 50mm drivers (probably the TriForce tech, they sound so good, especially when you tweak the EQ). The unsung hero feature that I haven’t seen anyone post about yet is the Razer Audio app. You can connect the headset to the app and EQ it from your phone while in Bluetooth mode. The settings hold regardless whether in Bluetooth mode or 2.4 (seriously awesome). The strange thing about this headset is when plugged into 3.5mm, it actually sounds worse than when wireless. But, it’s good to have just in case you ever do run out of battery life, even if that would be tough because of the 40hrs per charge. This thing is definitely meant to be ran wireless. Truly, the biggest surprise than I’m still not really over yet is how they made the wireless setting sound better than when it’s wired… just baffling. This is you one-stop shop for a headset if you are looking for something wireless, multi use, and easy to use. Again, only market left out are Xbox players. If you have a PlayStation, Switch, use Microsoft Teams for work meetings, and like to listen to music, this is the holy grail of headsets.
