Razer Makes AirPods Max???
These are really high quality headphones, that in my opinion, fair better than the actual AirPods Max. They are very comfortable, the ANC seems to have a perfect air tight seal and bluetooth works flawlessly when connecting to devices. The headset comes with a leather covered hardshell carrying case, a long USB-C cable, USB-A to USB-C adapter cable, as well as a USB-C dongle to plug-n-play with a second device to prevent having to pair and re-pair between devices. A 100% recommend to anyone wanting perfect sound with a professional, yet comfortably aesthetically pleasing design.

S’Good
Really dig it. Super light and easy flexibility between my desktop and mobile audio are what sells this for me. I like the taxer client audio apps and options for microphone adjustment. This was a major step up from my previous headset hardware, the Corsair Virtuoso.

Not worth for money
I initially enjoy using these headphones. They are comfortable, noise cancelling features worked great and no major issues. They did, however, disconnect constantly from the hyperspeed wireless and bluetooth connections. Sound would be staticky randomly throughout the day. Even after contacting Razer, no solution was found. The real nail in the coffin was that after only 5 months of regular use, cracks started to appear (see images). Not worth it, save your money.

My Most Favorite “Gaming” Headphones
My Most Favorite “Gaming” Headphones The Razer Barracuda Pro has surprised me in an unexpected way. It is an excellent pair of everyday headphones for music, movie and video streaming. Calling these gaming headphones would be cheating of its versatility. Using the Razer Audio App (available on Android and iOS), I am able to customize ANC levels and set my own custom equalizer settings. Controls-wise, the volume wheel is a very satisfying way to adjust volume rather than the typical push buttons. There aren’t dedicated next/previous track buttons, but you’ll be able to find them repurposed using the power button (two clicks to next track, three clicks to previous). Normally not found on dedicated headphones, a mic mute button is present, although this could be a nuisance if you accidentally enable it. Finally, there is the ANC On/Off and Ambient button. Holy cow….I was super impressed with the ANC. The other thing that impressed me is the Ambient bypass mode. With the 2 available mics on the headset, I am able to hear every sound in total clarity while I listen to music or watch streaming content. That means I can have a normal conversation with others while I have these on while my ears are sealed from the outside world, which is pretty impressive. Battery life is ample at around 40 hours between charges. The Barracuda Pros are super comfortable to wear, although they are on the larger side of your typical headset, or wireless headphones for that matter. They adjust like other headsets where the headband can be adjusted for that perfect fit. Although they are larger, they are lightweight and don’t cause any hot spots or pressure on my head while wearing. I honestly have no complaints when it comes to comfort with these. The only, only time I wouldn’t want to wear these is during a gym workout as I think they’re a little on the bulky side and the cushions are probably not much of an antimicrobial, moisture-wicking material. If I had one complaint about comfort, it would be that the headphone cups pivot away from the body, so you can't rest the earcups on your chest when resting them around your neck. For all the good that this thing produces, I had to take a star off for that for what seems to be an overlooked design decision. From a gaming perspective, they do not disappoint at all. Playing CyberPunk 2077, walking around Corpo Plaza felt like I was standing there, hearing all the city night life, people walking and talking, cars driving by and honking horns (especially when I crossed in front of them). With THX Spatial Audio enabled for game mode, I was particularly impressed when I heard the monorail up above me pass from my rear to my front. CyberPunk 2077 is one of those games that fully supports THX, and the Barracudas take full advantage of it. Again, what completely blew my mind is the ANC performance. My home has large air purifiers running 24/7 at a medium to high setting, and they can be heard all day, almost like white noise machines. When ANC is activated, the white noise is completely eliminated, and it's like a deafening experience, like the vacuum of space. It’s so good that I start to feel nauseous not hearing anything when no content is playing through the headphones. This is next-level ANC that rivals those of the big name ANC players at a lower cost. Having ANC on enhances all use cases from listening to music, watching a movie or gaming. The headphones appear to have 2 different mics that pick up noise, and even beamform to further negate the ambient noise around you. The Razer Synapse software is something I have gotten used to over time and I find it easy to configure the Barracudas. Like the Audio App, you’ll be able to set ANC levels and adjust equalizer settings. Only on Synapse will you be able to turn on THX, and you can allow Synapse to choose the THX profile for whatever you may be doing (Music, Movie, Gaming modes). Likewise you’ll only be able to set microphone settings, including ANC for microphone use, so that your listeners don’t hear the ambient noise coming from your room. It’s worth noting that ANC does affect your voice a bit, like ANC is also cutting off some of your voice at times, so that’s why there is a low and high setting to choose from depending on how noisy it is. Lastly, a really big selling point is its ease of connectivity. Other than the most obvious way of using them (via direct USB cable), these Barracudas have two wireless modes: Bluetooth 5.2 and Hyperspeed Wireless 2.4GHz dongle. What makes that special is that you can connect your mobile phone via Bluetooth, and you can connect your PC via the dongle, at the same time! There is no need to unpair/pair when switching between the two. With a simple double tap of the ANC button, you can easily swap between connections, no problem, and the Barracudas will always be ready to use in either case. Fantastic. There is a lot of talk about how these are not good at all or may sound terrible and various other reasons; I have yet to encounter these situations. It is worth noting that Razer has sent at least 3 firmware updates since I first took ownership of them. So the reports may be true in regards to their performance initially, but I think they worked out the kinks and will continue to work out the kinks with every new bug or discrepancy found. And while I agree with the masses that some of their products are on the pricey side, these headphones exude quality, sport a timeless design and deliver on sound performance. I recommend these headphones to anyone looking for their one and only everyday pair of headphones.
