good value, could be better
Out-of-the-box Razer Barracuda: Pros: - mic handles background noise pretty well - rf range works pretty far, even down/upstairs - decent noise isolation - price $70 Cons: - doesn't support audio mixing - switching between audio sources kind of annoying - headband could be narrower and curved flatter/rounder - earphones tend to pinch your head, removing the headset after a long session is like taking off a wig at the end of a day I'm looking for a lightweight wireless gaming headset with Bluetooth for both work (Mac) and gaming (PC, console, mobile). This does pretty much everything, but it still fits a little too large while also squeezing my head a little too much. I suppose this makes the noise isolation better, but that's not a priority for me. If the length and curvature of the headband could be adjusted, the weight might be distributed better and the headset might pinch less. I know the instructions say to gently bend the headband before first wearing, but that just makes the headset fit wider on top. Plus, I wouldn't want the headband to break quicker. Cycling through different audio channels using the single power button is a small inconvenience. Overall it's a great value, but less than ideal. I would love it if Razer made a different model that can fit smaller heads more comfortably and that supports dual device audio mixing. I am still deciding between the Barracuda and the Logitech G735, which does have audio mixing and fits better. I'll see which headset I reach for more often.
