Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very comfortable, battery last a very long time. Extremely simple to connect and disconnect the mic.

Great product so far, I have been using it for work as I work from home and it has been exceptional in that regard. It holds strong through an 10 hour work day and then continues into night with gaming. And for gaming the different audio modes make it great for the high intensity and rapid sound response needed. I like it for music and movies too. Overall I am definitely satisfied, hopefully they hold up over time!

I love the look & the RGB. You can toggle between different listening modes depening on the use & the app is easy to use for PC & they’re pretty comfortable as well. My only issue would be that every so often when I enter discord the microphone doesn’t pick up & i’ll have to disconnect the USB drive out of my pc for it to work again.( the software does have updates so maybe this is something that can be patched?) Other than that a pretty solid mic all all around.

I have been using these daily for games and the audio is great. I do not however use the mic as I use a stand alone mic instead. So I can not comment on the mic. The audio is great and there is no delay that I can tell using the hyper-speed wireless connection. Bluetooth has a noticeable delay. Have to charge daily as it won't last more that 1.5 days of gaming over 3hours daily

[Employee of bestbuy] This was my very first experience with a Razer headset and I was enjoying it, until my friends invited to me a PS5 chat. Everything on my end sounds wonderful, their voices super clear and loud. However, my voice? I apparently sounded like I was put on speaker during a phone call. They understood what I was saying but the quality was way off. I checked my PC for a firmware update and there wasn't one. I then checked Discord on my PC to see if it was just the Playstation and same thing. That's very unfortunate. I was so excited for these, largely because of the convenience in the USB-C dongle itself. If you're in need of a headset solely for listening to game audio and/or music, then these will do the job just fine. If you need one to also chat with, look elsewhere.

I love this headset. Very comfortable and simple and the RGB lights on it make it even better!

Great product comfortable sounds great and easy to use as well.

I tried the top brand more expensive and was not satisfied but these oh man top about quality and the look awsome! If u haven’t tried them your missing out!!

Best headset I’ve ever used. Sound great and love the rgb lighting.

I've had the original Razer Barracuda X for a few years and have been impressed with its comfort, weight, durability, and sound quality especially considering the price point it released at. The new Barracuda X Chroma takes the improvements of the second generation model that came out in 2022 and refines everything, creating an overall great product that seems more reliable with the same light weight and good sound. And they added RGB, because why not! #Unboxing and first impressions# Out of the box, the Razer Barracuda X Chroma comes with a simple cloth bag to hold the headset, the detachable microphone, a nice feeling braided 60W USB-C cable, a USB-A to USB-C adapter, and the USB-C dongle for PC. It does come with the classic Razer stickers, of course. I was a little surprised that the Barracuda X Chroma no longer comes with an aux cable, but I suppose with the addition of regular bluetooth this is less necessary now. #Using the headset# The headset worked immediately upon connecting the dongle for my work laptop, personal laptop (a Windows on ARM laptop), and gaming desktop. While Synapse adds some additional control (including for the RGB lighting) the headset works fine without it so it's nice for jumping on work calls in a pinch. Sound quality seemed to be roughly the same as with my 2021 model of the Barracuda X. I'd consider the sound to be clean and usable for midrange and highs but for music the bass is lacking. Not something I noticed in games. The microphone sounds very clear and it comes with a nice foam cover for pop reduction. I also like that the mic has a pretty long arm that's flexible in all directions, giving you the ability to place it wherever sounds best. Also, since the mic is detachable you can completely remove it and store it out of the way if you are gaming on mobile or using a different mic. With Synapse 4/Chroma Studio you gain some additional customizability for the Barracuda X Chroma. You can customize the EQ, set sleep settings for battery life, and add the RGB lights to your gaming setup. I have several other razer chroma peripherals so it was nice to just add the Barracuda X Chroma to my desk setup and sync the effects to what my mouse pad and keyboard are doing. Razer also includes their 7.1 Surround software for free with the Barracuda X Chroma and I really like the effects this adds. For games that don't support Atmos or DTS:X the Razer Surround is great. You can also pay to upgrade it to THX surround, and I think this is worth the money for PC gamers. #Final thoughts# The Barracuda X Chroma takes almost all of the great features of the original Barracuda X and improves them, while adding RGB lighting. For a bit higher price than the original, you get the same comfort, improved flexibility with connecting to other devices, and some pretty cool RGB effects that can be synced with other Razer Chroma gear. This is a worthy upgrade from the previous models and a good headset even for gamers that aren't necessarily targeting the budget end of the spectrum.

The Razer Barracuda X Chroma features modern aesthetic with customizable RGB lighting. Weighing only about 280 grams with microphone attached, it’s lightweight, making it comfortable to wear during extended gaming sessions. The soft, plush ear cushions provide excellent comfort, and the clamping force is a little on the light side allowing hours of gaming without discomfort. When it comes to audio, the Barracuda X Chroma excels, at least for gaming. It delivers rich, immersive sound providing clear highs, a punchy midrange and deep lows. 7.1 surround sound capability is available by installing the Razer Synapse software. The wireless connectivity is good, offering a reliable range that allows for freedom of movement. With a battery life of up to 70 hours, you can enjoy long gaming sessions without worrying about recharging. The low-latency connection ensures that your audio syncs perfectly with your gameplay. The Barracuda offers both Bluetooth and 2.4 Ghz wireless via a USBC dongle, which comes with a USB A adapter. It doesn't offer simultaneous support, but there is a quick switch button allowing you to jump from wireless to Bluetooth and back quickly. It does not offer multi-point Bluetooth, so you can only connect to a single Bluetooth source at any given time. There is not 3.5mm support for wired playback. There is no active noise cancellation, but the closed back design does a reasonable job at keeping outside noise from being distracting. Controls are all located on the left earcup, and include volume controls and mic/sound balance controls. Mic monitoring is also available, allowing you to hear your own voice through the headset when you speak. The detachable microphone is a standout feature, providing clear voice quality. The quality is good enough to make it usable for both gaming and streaming. Razer’s Synapse software allows for extensive customization, from adjusting audio profiles to personalizing RGB lighting effects. Overall, the Razer Barracuda X Chroma Wireless Gaming Headset is an excellent choice for gamers looking for a combination of comfort, superior sound quality, and stylish design. Its lightweight build, impressive audio capabilities, and customizable features at a reasonable price make it a top contender in the mid-range market.

Very good, it works well and i cant complain at all.

Great headset! I like this headset alot, definitely would recommend

If you're looking for a versatile, high-performance gaming headset that can effortlessly transition from gaming to mobile use without missing a beat, the Razer Barracuda X Chroma is a great choice. Whether you're playing your favorite game at home or on the go, this headset offers an experience that is both immersive and practical. Here's a breakdown of why it stands out. Dual Wireless Connectivity: Gaming and Mobile, Simultaneously This feature allows you to seamlessly toggle between two devices at once — you can connect to your PC or console via Razer HyperSpeed (2.4 GHz) and, at the same time, be paired with your smartphone over Bluetooth. Whether you're gaming on your PC or listening to music on your phone, you won’t have to fumble around with reconnections. Simply toggle with ease and enjoy smooth, uninterrupted audio. Exceptional Comfort for Long Sessions The 285g lightweight design and memory foam ear cushions make the Barracuda X Chroma an incredibly comfortable headset, even during extended use. I can’t emphasize enough how easy it is to forget you’re wearing them — they’re that comfortable. For those of us who wear glasses, the swiveling earcups are a blessing, as they provide a snug fit without squeezing the arms of your glasses into your temples. After four hours of continuous wear, I didn’t feel any discomfort, which is rare for headsets at this price point. Stunning Sound Quality with Razer TriForce 40mm Drivers Audio performance is top-notch thanks to Razer's TriForce 40mm drivers. The patented design delivers crisp, balanced highs, mids, and lows, creating an immersive listening experience. Whether you're deep into a gaming session or enjoying some music, the clarity of the sound is impressive. The Music preset offers a balanced mix, with rich bass and clear treble, making it ideal for everything from rock to funk. The Movie preset enhances voice clarity and adds a little more depth to the bass, perfect for film and podcast lovers. I found the Game preset to be especially useful for multiplayer games, where voice clarity is crucial. It pushes the voices to the forefront while keeping the background music subtle, allowing you to hear every word without distractions. RGB Lighting and Battery Life One feature that may excite some and frustrate others is the RGB lighting powered by Razer Chroma. The headset offers 6-zone lighting with 16.8 million colors, which can be customized to match your personal style or sync with compatible games. However, while the lighting is visually striking, it does come at a cost — enabling the RGB lights drains battery life significantly. With the lights on, the battery lasts around 30 hours, but with them off, it extends to 70 hours. That said, the quick-charging capability is impressive, offering 6 hours of playtime with just a 15-minute charge. I’ve been using the headset for over a week and, despite heavy usage, the battery is still sitting at 62%, with the RGB lights off. Clear Communication with the Detachable Mic The Razer HyperClear Cardioid Mic is designed for crystal-clear voice capture, suppressing background noise so your teammates hear you loud and clear. The mic is detachable, making the headset more portable for on-the-go use. It’s nice to have the option of removing it when you’re just listening to music or watching a movie. Final Thoughts Overall, the Razer Barracuda X Chroma is a standout headset for those who need versatility without compromising on comfort or performance. Its ability to switch between gaming and mobile use via dual wireless connectivity, combined with long battery life, ergonomic design, and customizable sound, makes it a solid option for anyone looking for a headset that does it all. Whether you’re in a gaming marathon, listening to music, or commuting, this headset adapts to your needs with style and ease. Pros: - Seamless dual wireless connectivity (PC/Console + Bluetooth) - Impressive sound quality with customizable presets - Comfortable, lightweight design suitable for long wear - 70-hour battery life (with RGB off) and fast charging - Customizable RGB lighting and audio via the Razer app - Detachable mic for better portability Cons: - RGB lighting significantly drains battery life - Audio presets may not suit everyone’s tastes without adjustment If you're in the market for a headset that performs well in all scenarios and is as comfortable as it is functional, the Razer Barracuda X Chroma is definitely worth considering.

I struggle to find comfortable gaming headsets that I enjoy wearing for long periods of time but also perform well, last more than a year, and don't break the bank. The Razer Barracuda X Chroma headset checks all the boxes, and I love how comfortable they are. In the box is the headset, USB-C dongle, USB-C to USB-A adaptor, charging cable, and removable mic. Setup is simple, both with Android and on my Windows PC, for PC the application is Razer Synapse which allows for surround sound and RGB customization. You'll find similar functions on the Android Razer sound app as well. The headset can be paired via bluetooth and/or wireless dongle, and can seamlessly swap between the two inputs. This means I can swap between a 2.4 GHz wireless connection to my PC and a bluetooth connection to my phone to answer calls. You can also hardwire it for the absolute lowest latency connection, if that's your preference. I like the connection flexibility for both work and gaming, with the added benefit of the Do Not Disturb function in the app which ensures that I'm not interrupted by a call while gaming. As far as build, this is absolutely one of the most comfortable headsets I've used, regardless of price point. While it isn't the lightest weight at 0.75 lbs, the padding on the headband and ear cups are designed such that I don't experience any pressure points and the band provides just enough pressure to stay in place while not giving me a headache. The large ear cups are a mesh fabric covered foam that are both breathable and conforming to the shape of my head, meaning that they don't get sweaty even after hours of wear. The ear cups pivot about 30 degrees back and 90 degrees forward so they can lay flat if you want a speaker style option. All controls are on the left cup, starting with the SmartSwitch to swap between wireless and bluetooth, volume roller, power, usb-c charging point, multi-function (pairing / play / pause / sound mode / connection type/ skip) button, and lastly the removable mic. My preference is a flip to mute mic, so while it's not my favorite, I do like the adjustability to move the mic boom out of my way better than a rigid design. As far as sound, I can hear nuances such as footsteps and movement that others can't, even with higher end headsets. The clarity is good, low and high end of the sound range and depth also good, but the mid range sound does stand out as very good. In addition, the 7.1 surround sound feature is good enough that it isn't a gimmick, but I found that it lacks some of the audiophile level crispness that you get with the top of the line headsets. Note that the THX Spatial audio is not included, and it costs extra, however you can download a trial version to see if it's worth the extra, and is discounted with purchase of the headset. The upgrade will give you access to calibrate the positional accuracy of the sound as well as access to THX specific EQ presets and tools. The mic performance is very good, for video chat and phone calls the feedback is that my voice is clear and crisp, zero issues or lag with PC gaming either. The biggest plus is that the mic doesn't pick up the majority of background noise, and I don't get pickup from breathing, moving, etc that you do with some designs. Bottom line, it's a fun headset, the RGB lights are a nice touch, and can absolutely match your gaming rig profile, if desired. The sound is great for a mid level headset, which leads me to the fact that I want to give it 5 stars but I wish the audio had just a bit more crispness and depth at the each end of the range, or the THX surround was included. Overall, I think it's a solid pick, and one of the better deals you'll get in this price range. Looking across the trending headsets, you likely won't find an over the ear that is more comfortable than this one.

The Razer Barracuda X Chroma is a gaming headset that brings a solid feature set to a mid market wireless headset. It fits right in with a razor setup, but works fine standalone. Is it worth the Razer brand? First of all, inside the box is a decent setup. There is the headset, usb receiver, USB-C to A adapter, and boom mic. The initial build quality seems high. The headset is flexible and doesn’t creak or look cheap. The plastics seem durable, and there is a metal headband under the plastic. They due pick up grease/smudges easily. The USB-C native adapter is a win in my book, as we need more devices pushing this so manufacturers add more of these ports. The adapter keeps it realistic though - allowing a USB-A port to be used. I love the removable boom mic, as 90% of the time, I just want to have the mic off as I don’t use chat a lot in game. Plugging in the receiver, you’ll automatically be prompted to download Razer’s software suite. Say what you want, but synapse has come a long way. Feature wise, the software is awesome. The suite of apps that Razer installs feels rather bloated, however the interactions with Synapse for adjusting the EQ, lighting, or other feature of the headset was quite nice. Lighting controls can be basic or you can get the Razer Chroma app which lets you choose a lot of different features. Are RGB lights on a headset necessary, useful, or in any way helpful to your gaming experience? Nope! But they sure are fun. Sound wise the headset is fairly good. You’ll notice a very lifeless initial sound, but there are 4 presets for audio you can swap to easily. The difference between Music and Game is pretty big, so be sure to select the right EQ. The auto power off is configurable in the app, but defaults to 15 minutes. The phone app on iOS has many of the same features of the desktop app. You can change lighting, EQ, and more advanced settings. The app support is awesome. The wireless performed great and had decent range. There is no fancy head sensors for play/pause, but the overall receiver is solid. Bluetooth seemed to also have great range. There is a button dedicated to swapping the audio connection if you double tap. Single tapping this button swaps the EQ. Speaking of buttons, there are a plethora on this headset. You get a play/pause/power button, audio mute, audio volume, and the aforementioned audio button for EQ/source swap. It’s nice to see a full complement of buttons on a mid-market headset. Overall, for gaming, I found wearing it to be quite comfortable. It’s light, the fabric/memory foam padded ear cups are comfortable without being too hot. Again, the removable microphone is perfect for me, as it can be removed when not necessary. Overall I found the headset worthy of Razer’s name. The price for a wireless headset that also features a quick swap with bluetooth. I was able to use my phone successfully. I feel like for the price, you get a solid wireless headset. The value is probably if you have other razer accessories with RGB, so you can have everything match, but this is a competent headset.

Razer delivers a very nice looking RGB headset, with (removable) rotating (tilt/swivel) cloth ear cups that feel really good and sound really good. The strength or build quality of this headset is equally as good, I don't feel like it would break if I move things around quickly or oddly or if I happen to toss it on my desk during a rage quit, the headset seems to be just fine lol ;) pros Boasts 70 Hours of battery life (70hrs w/RGB off, 30 hrs w/RGB on) The Chroma RGB lighting looks great Provides a clear sounding microphone on the 2.4 wireless adapter Allows a choice between Bluetooth or wifi connection, or use both; letting you flip between two devices (think computer/phone calls) Razers pc software controls lighting effects, as well as mic and audio allowing for fine tuning This headset weighs in at a little over a 1/2 pound (285 grams) included in box: - usb a to c adapter usb-c charging cable (this is a solid cable included, probably some of the nicest I've seen w/things lately) - removable flexible mic w/removable filter Overall at the end of the day this is a headset for gaming, for me I feel it delivers great audio and people can hear me trash talk or cry softly with crystal clear audio from the mic. I feel like I can detect where sounds are coming from easily during FPS games which is really helpful. Watching a movie with these on also sounded really decent, though I must admit these will 98% of the time be used for gaming. If you are looking for a good headset with great RGB lighting and a good audio profile at a decent price; I would give these a shot in a heartbeat.

This is a huge step up for me for a headset. I didn’t realize how good they made these headphones now. This Razer Barracuda X Chroma is pretty sweet. Yeah I said pretty sweet, I’m old school. I guess I should be saying no cap? Anyway, I like the ease of setting it up and the performance is great! There’s a USB dongle to connect with your 2.4Ghz, or it can also connect via Bluetooth. There’s a corresponding button on the headset that switches between the 2 seamlessly. You can connect USB-C, or there’s a small type c to type a adapter that switches it to USB-A as well. All very small so a small footprint added to your device of choice. You turn on the headset with the power button on the side, and your off to the races. Pairs up extremely fast. The volume dial on the side is very reactive and works great. The sound is super clear with the Razer Triforce 40 mm audio drivers. Claims on the package that it sports a 70 hour battery life which is incredible. I’m not used to that, my old headphones last maybe 5-6 hours. I don’t know yet if the claim is true, but I’ve been playing steady now for 3 days straight and it’s still going strong. Mind you I only get to play a few hours at a time, but no complaints. There’s nothing marking L and R on the exterior of the headphones that I could see, however, the orientation of the removable mic makes it pretty clear how to put them on. I think it might be a little difficult to talk with the mic facing the back of your head. Nice swivel to these headphones for ease of wearing and taking off. I imagine it would fit any size head. I’m not too interested in the RGB 6-zone lighting on the ear-cup, but hey it’s a gaming accessory and that’s pretty standard. I guess if you’re on Twitch, or you’re streaming you want the cool effects? Not a decision factor for me, but if it is for you, these headphones are pretty cool. It comes with a nice little fabric drawstring bag for toting around. Although I don’t see how it would be very protective, it’s lighter than t-shirt material. If dropped in the bag I imagine you’d be mad other than it would protect from starches. There’s a 2 year warranty which means Razer stands by their product and they’re proud of it. There’s something to be said for that as most manufacturers only offer a 1 year warranty on their products. Oh I almost forgot, there are different audio modes you can set when using, and they’re available at the push of a button. Movie, voice, gaming, and custom I believe. To customize your own setting just download the Razer Synapse dashboard. I’m very please with these headphones and highly recommend them.

Lets start off by saying if you don't know Razer brand quality then your missing out. The Razer Barracuda X Chroma offers the same comfort and audio quality as its predecessor all with built in wireless capability. If you have never owned any kind of Razer brand, just know they are very well known for bringing you a good gaming experience all without breaking the bank. So at first glance your going to get everything you'd expect to receive from your typical wireless gaming headset. You get the standard 3.5mm connection for your boom mic, USB-C port for wireless charging(or wired audio), volume wheel and mic mute switch. This is a very identical version from its predecessor given the fact that this flagship is now wireless. The ear cup designs are your typical memory foam design which does a awesome job of creating a tight seal in order to keep out noise pollution all while allowing body heat to be proper be distributed outwards. The top of the headband is also padded allowing for hours of gameplay all without feeling the pressure of wearing a headset. This headset is designed all to be played with just about all gaming platforms out there and the added bluetooth feature even means that you could link this up to your phone should you choose to. The headset will work with Spatial audio however keep in mind it will require you to download the app and pay for the service. The 7.1 channel does a very nice job at offering surround sound but there were times when its accuracy felt a little off. What do i mean by this? Simply put when playing games like CoD (Call of Duty) foot steps could be heard from what sounded like my left flank however as i would prepare to meet my would be predator long and behold they would come from my right flank. Something i noticed and am not exactly sure if that's an issue on my end or with the headset but just something to take note of. The audio quality from games sounds amazing, and that's putting it mildly. Games like Monster Hunter or mmo's like Final Fantasy XiV sound awesome both with background music and direct gameplay sounds such as combat actions. There was no bleed through or signal loss at all while playing in wireless mode and wireless gameplay yielded me roughly about 15 hours of playtime before needing a charge. Here's what it comes down to. What makes this such a amazing headset is the quality you get based on its price point. Most headsets at this price point are mediocre and this is coming from someone who has always been on a budget and has tried to find that happy medium ground between price and audio quality. You get great comfort, long battery life, awesome mic and audio sounds and a wireless set up that can piggy back off just about anything via its built in Bluetooth. If you are in the market for a headset that offers good audio, chat and comfort all within a reasonable price, then this a must have headset.

I have been in the market for a new headset however it is always difficult to find comfortable ones with my glasses. I decided to try out Razer and have been very impressed so far with this headset! Right out of the unboxing I was very impressed how great the packaging material was and consideration was taken for the placements. The package wraps are so nice that I ended up saving a few of them to store the cord and dongles. It was nice to see right out of the box it was ready to plug n play. I use this headset for both PC and PS5 with the included dongles. The sound quality is very impressive! I use the Dolby Atmos for PC and was impressed with the sound emitting from the headset. The battery life was very impressive, it states 70 hours on the box however I always have the lights on so it runs around 50 hours. The reason I say it’s still impressive is that my old headset lasted for around 40 hours without any lights. The mic was crystal clear and my friends never had any problems listening to me. The biggest and most important was comfort and needless to say this was extremely comfortable even after 5 hours of constant play. As mentioned, I wear glasses and upon playing with this headset it never pushed my glasses inward or caused any discomfort. It rested great on my ears and head and I really like the adjustability. Overall, this was a very impressive headset and recommend trying this out for anyone who wears glasses.
