I tried these on multiple computers and the mic is horrible.

Good product so far, seems to hold up was a decent price

Razer Barracuda Pro is quite unique in the gaming world as it is a product targeted for gamers who want to have a versatile wireless headset that they can use for both gaming and general listening. An all-rounder. The headset has a sleek design akin to premium pairs by major audio brands. No flashy gaming LED lights, which is a good thing for a versatile headset. They are a bit heavy, however the quality of material is nice and most importantly they are still comfortable to use even in long gaming session. Battery hours is fantastic. You can use the headset for days without needing them to charge. We can’t charge the headset while using them at the same time but that’s not a problem because they are rated at 40 hours of battery use to make them survive even the longest gaming session. In terms of features, the pair offer almost everything you can find in a premium headset such as ANC, USB-C, and they offer wireless connectivity through proprietary 2.4Ghz wireless technology and Bluetooth. The option to connect the headset through 2.4Ghz wireless tech is a big deal because you can use your PC’s Bluetooth connectivity for other peripherals such as game pad and phone without experiencing any degradation of audio quality while playing games. The headset also has built-in THX spatial audio encoding meaning this headset is ready for spatial audio gaming. The sound quality is excellent so the 50mm driver as expected does not disappoint. The headset produce balanced sound profile that is leaning towards studio headset, which may or may not work for you. If your favorite genre is EDM, this pair may sound a bit lacking in the bass department. Other types of music should sound nice and movies produce clear dialogues. The pair can compete in the sound department with other headsets offered from most premium brands, which makes this headset very appealing for general purpose. In the past, you might want to have separate headsets for gaming and general listening. This headset can do them all. The THX Achromatic Audio Amplifier seems to be doing good job in producing the gaming sound profile. So, you’d be getting the best of two worlds: gaming and general listening. How well this headset performs for gaming would however depend largely on what type of gamer you are. If you play mainly AAA games and don’t use in game voice chat much, this headset will be great for you. There’s no detachable boom mic. While the mic is not bad but surely, it’s not their forte. So why five stars? It’s clear from the beginning that this is a product intended to be a versatile headset for gamers. Many headsets that I own do not have a boom mic and the mic sound quality is what to be expected for that kind of headset. So, if you’re a gamer who wants to have versatile wireless headset that you want to use for long gaming sessions and general listening, this is a great pair for you. But if you’re a streamer or a gamer who uses in game voice chat a lot, you may want to consider other options.

Sound quality is good but the plastic material is fragile.

Worst headphones ever………………………………………………………….,………. .

The Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) Technology is awesome. It really really works. It is true that you get what you pay for.

Signal between the dongle and headset, would fail plenty of times. Microphone would not sound good if signal was lost and regained.

It was difficult to evaluate these as simply a gaming headset or just for listening to music. Thankfully, they perform well doing both, but I have my personal reservations in just how well they do either. Let me start by saying that the ANC works surprisingly well with this headset, as it cuts out about 95% of any background noise once it is turned on, leaving your audio listening experience quite clean and clear. They are not perfect, but they perform well for a “gaming” headset in this aspect. I have tried to listen to an extensive range of music across a variety of genres and have found the audio listening experience to be clean and with sufficient bass for most musical types, but for those attempting to blow out their eardrums with bass, I could not get much more performance beyond their natural sound. If you are a “bass head” then you may need to look elsewhere as I couldn’t seem to turn it up much higher, with either the “Bass Boost” setting under Razer Synapse, or adjusting the EQ. The treble and mid-range frequencies on the Razer Barracuda Pro are exceptionally clean and crisp and sound great. For gaming, I do not typically use a microphone, but I have used this headset for video meetings and the other person had no issues with hearing me clearly or understanding anything I said. Otherwise, these sounded as well as some of my wired headphones for clarity. These sound far more precise and cleaner than previous Razer headsets I have used and have a clean sound range from low to high frequencies. I was not disappointed when gaming with these but, I was not blown away either. They just sounded like I thought they should sound for my personal tastes. I have used these on Windows 11 with the 2.4GHz “dongle” as well as solely as a Bluetooth connection. The latter connection does not show up in Razer Synapse on a PC, just with the dongle. So, you may not be able to adjust some of the enhanced features of the Razer Barracuda Pro without using the dongle. I did not find that changing the EQ settings did a whole lot to change the sound for the better, or sometimes at all. The sound enhancements in the Synapse software did not seem to respond at all, which I think is a a configuration problem on my end. I would not typically recommend BT noise cancelling headphones by themselves for gaming, but Razer has a viable product in the Barracuda Pro if you are looking for clean and precise sound quality and a gaming headset with a well performing mic. Not perfect, but close.

Best head set on the market!! This head set has chnaged gaming for me!

The Razer Barracuda Pro wireless headset offers excellent sound quality, very good comfort, and excellent noise reduction in a hybrid headset product primarily designed for gaming, but well suited for music, travel, and general headset/headphone use. Unfortunately, it omits a couple things that would make it much for useful as a hybrid product. In the box is the headset, a very nice fitted carrying case, the 2.4Ghz USB-C transceiver, a USB-A to USB-C charging cable, and a USB-A to USB-C extension cable for the transceiver. The headset is very well packaged, and everything is very well made. The headset has several controls fitted to the earcups. On the left earcup is the USB-C charging port, power/pairing button, volume dial, and microphone mute button. On the right earcup is a multifunction button. Pressing this button twice quickly switches between the 2.4Ghz hyper-speed wireless connection and Bluetooth, allowing one to quickly switch between phone calls and the PC. Pressing it once switches ANC modes, cycling from "ANC Off", "Ambient", and "ANC On". The ANC is very effective. I can play games or listen to music in the same room while my wife watches TV with no issues. Overall, I really like this headset, and feel that the features it offers make it a good value. There are two things missing that I believe would take my overall rating from 'Good" to "Excellent". The headset lacks a 3.5mm aux jack. I'm sure that was a conscious design choice, but it makes it impossible to use the headset for travel on certain airlines if you wish to use their installed in-flight entertainment options. Second, for gaming, a removable directional boom microphone to enhance clarity of voice communication would be a welcome addition, but if neither of these issue bother you, this is a great headset for most use cases.

Difficult set up (3 Hours), terrible sound quality, and terrible value for how much they cost. Definitely would NOT recommend to anyone looking for a wireless gaming headset. Find something else, you've been warned.

Lasted 8 months. Razor engineers thought it would be a good idea to place a metal swivel between pressed plastic. Returned with best buys awesome warranty and purchased a set of steel series headphones.

Feels cheap, but the biggest issue is the whine. I turned on the one I purchased and it made a high pitched whine - so loud I didn't even put the headset on. I am fairly sure this is something wrong with the noise canceling. A firmware update did not fix it. Will be returning.

Broke after few months. Do not buy these headphones.

Sound quality on this device is awful, I think it came broken because it sounds really bad, I have an old Razer blackshark headphones and they sound way better than this one.

I generally don't wear headsets a lot as I mostly game single player but they are nice to have even when not in a game just to wear to listen to music and sound effects from your PC. And on the rare occasion I do get online for multiplayer I want a headset that works with minimal tweaking and that allows others to hear me clearly. Razer has done a very good job with the Barracuda Pro in regards to the simplicity and ease of use with which you can get this headset working. Opening up the box for the first time shows a really nice, minimalistic approach, think Apple products, to a headset that is easy to setup and get going. Once you install the Razer software Synapse you should then use it to check for a firmware upgrade, of which mine did require one. Be aware the process is going to take longer than you think, even with a superfast computer (I used this headset with a brand new Alienware AMD computer that is very speedy) but that's ok, don't disconnect anything and let it do it's thing. Once the firmware was updated then I was able to start using the headset and the first thing I noticed was the ABSOLUTE comfort of these on your head. First of all they feel very soft and overall plush I think would be the best word to describe them. Then you notice how light they are but how good of a job they do covering your entire ear and sealing out much noise. The overall sound is quite clear and even the bass on a thumping track sounds good and not muddied up. In games the directional sound is very good and helps you track where enemies are in the game better than hearing it from a stereo speaker set. I played for nearly a week online and although I did not ask anyone how clearly they could hear me (or not) I can safely say that not a single person said anything about the quality of the mic on the Barracuda Pro. So despite the many professional reviews claiming the mic on this is not as good because it's inside of the headset rather than an external directional mic, well I call nonsense. It may not be as good of sound as other headsets, this is true, but it cannot be all that bad if in a week of gaming not a single person said anything about it. Now as for battery life, I used this thing a lot and it seemed to last a long time. I admit I am not the best when it comes to tracking battery life, and that is mostly because I always put my items on charge when I am done with them so they are usually never exhausted, but I do know that I never once had this thing die unexpectedly on me or get the perception the batteries don't last long enough. I never had the batteries run down even to the point where the thing warning beeped at me in fact. So I cannot say exactly how long the headset lasts without recharging but it certainly doesn't seem to be an issue from my use. All in all I believe Razer has a huge winner here on its hands with the Razer Barracuda Pro. The aesthetics are very good and look "gamer-like" enough but not too much so, this headset could easily pass for regular headphones rather than a gaming headset. The sound quality is fantastic, even at high volumes and to me, most importantly, the thing is super comfortable and not heavy on your head. I would also like to point out these are pretty "cool" as in your head does not get hot and sweaty. If these were at all bulky or hot I can assure you I would have gotten sweaty at some point but thankfully I never did. I would definitely recommend this headset, despite the somewhat high price point I think you are getting a clear cut, top tier, fantastic headset in the Barracuda Pro. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
