    Worth the price tag.

    Sound quality is crisp and has some decent bass. Very light-weight and soft. Have had no issues with it so far after 2 years. It can’t dual Bluetooth and hyper speed wireless at the same time but you can switch between them.

    Rezer Barracuda X headphones

    I bought these for gaming on my laptop while connected to my theatre TV, the sound quality and volume are great, and they are lightweight, and very comfortable. I do get a little warm after a couple hours, But I run hot too. They are much more comfortable and cooler than the Plantronics over the ear headphones I replaced with them.

    Great to have while it's on sale!

    I used to rely on an direct, analog connection with my old headphones, believing that no Blutooth connection whatsoever could be smoother. The connectivity of these Barracuda headphones have proved me wrong immensely. The experience after switching has been seamless, arguably even smoother than I imagined. It's own Blutooth dongle has great connectivity, and can reach a few feet away from my room. The battery lasts long enough that I forget that it needs to be charged sometimes :P. Personally though, it did feel a little tight to wear at first, but I think I got used to it after a while. As for the microphone quality, I must confess that I have no opinions on it as I have no use for it's microphone myself. The quality it gives for the price nearly feels too generous compared to the much more expensive headphones. I absolutely recommend these headphones, especially whenever they're discounted!

    Pretty good

    Overall good sounds quality and pretty comfortable, only downside is it sometimes disconnects from my console like it won’t let me hear the sound even when it’s connected, but it usually comes back if i just disconnect and reconnect again.

    4/5 cheap defective plastic, but overall amazing

    Audio: Fantastic, especially for gaming competitively, better than my Steel Series Arctis 7 Pro Wireless in that regard, and they are also great everyday listeners as well. App: Has great EQ and features, no bugs. Microphone: excellent considering the price, it has good noise cancellation and does not make your voice sound weird or muffled. It is clear and accurate. Battery life: Absolutely fantastic, I use heavily, around several hours a day or some days, and I don't need to charge usually for several days or even a week+ Build Quality: Plastic is cheap, mine was defective, and I'm returning to razer for refund to purchase one of their aluminum higher priced headsets because I loved this one so much. Be careful with yours.
