    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.

    Excellent quality headphones with clear mic! My son uses it for PC gaming and loves it. He also loves the white color - we don’t see many headphones in white! The wireless option is convenient as well - we have had no issues with connection.

    I’ve been really enjoying the headphone so much. The wireless connection is super reliable across my PC, Switch, and even my phone. The sound is crisp with nice bass, and the headset feels light enough to wear for hours. The Mercury color looks clean and modern, and the battery life hasn’t let me down. It’s become my go-to headset for both gaming and casual listening.

    I bought these several months ago and have used them several times a week when gaming, chatting on Discord, and watching movies. One of my favorite parts about this headset is the ability to put it on and walk around the house without being restricted by cables. The range is decent! Also, the sound quality is nice and crisp. For a gaming headset, I can hear everything I need to without any crackling or other strange noises. Bluetooth headphones don’t have the best rep but these are really good! They’re also comfortable and not too heavy on the head. So, they can worn for a several hours without causing irritation. Battery life is also great. I have to charge my controller more often than I have to charge this headset. Overall, very happy with this compared to aome previous headsets I’ve had! Also, pleased because it’s my first bluetooth gaming headset and it hasn’t disappointed yet!

    Great headphones! I was worried about the weight using them for 3-4 hours a day in meetings but they don't feel heavy or bother my ears even with eyeglasses. My only complaint is the noise canceling isn't great, people on the other end mention hearing background noises. Another great performance is battery life, they have auto-shut off and I've gone 2 full weeks w/out charging, with probably 40 hours used, and they're still at 50% charge.

    I will never use another headset. This thing works on every single system I own, including my S22 ultra. The dongle for that works amazing. The battery life is great, the sound it great, and even the included mic works well. Bought a second one to keep as a backup. Better than my A40's. Don't pass them up.

    Razer once again takes the gaming audio experience to new heights with the Barracuda X 2022 Edition Wireless Gaming Headset. Designed to cater to a wide range of gaming platforms, including PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, and mobile devices, this headset combines sleek aesthetics with impressive functionality. One standout feature of the Barracuda X is its wireless capability, providing gamers with the freedom to move without the constraints of cables. The connectivity is reliable, and the headset seamlessly pairs with various devices, delivering a lag-free gaming experience. The inclusion of a USB-C wireless dongle ensures compatibility with a range of platforms, making it a versatile option for gamers with multiple systems. The design of the headset is both stylish and comfortable. The Mercury color variant adds a touch of sophistication, while the lightweight construction ensures extended gaming sessions remain fatigue-free. The plush ear cushions provide a snug fit, effectively isolating external noise and enhancing the immersive gaming experience. Sound quality is where the Barracuda X truly shines. Equipped with Razer's TriForce 40mm drivers, the headset delivers crisp highs, punchy mids, and deep lows, offering a well-rounded audio profile for gaming, music, and movies. The THX Spatial Audio support further enhances the sense of immersion, providing gamers with a competitive edge by accurately pinpointing directional audio cues. The headset's versatility is complemented by its compatibility with a detachable, unidirectional microphone. While it may not rival dedicated studio microphones, it performs admirably for in-game communication, delivering clear voice reproduction without unnecessary background noise. Battery life is another strong suit of the Barracuda X. With up to 20 hours of usage on a single charge, gamers can enjoy extended sessions without constantly worrying about battery levels. The quick charging feature is a welcome addition, providing a substantial amount of playtime with just a short charging period. While the Barracuda X 2022 Edition offers an impressive array of features, it does come with a few minor drawbacks. The lack of customizable RGB lighting, a signature feature in many Razer products, may disappoint some users. Additionally, the on-ear controls, while functional, could be more intuitive. In conclusion, the Razer Barracuda X 2022 Edition is a stellar wireless gaming headset that successfully combines style, comfort, and versatility. Its broad platform compatibility, top-notch audio quality, and extended battery life make it a compelling choice for gamers looking for a multi-platform solution. While it may lack some of the bells and whistles found in higher-end models, the Barracuda X offers an excellent balance of performance and affordability, making it a solid investment for gamers on the go.

    It’s a great headset and the mic quality is extremely smooth. It is also good at canceling out background noise. I had this same headset in pink with my Xbox but my son got ahold of it and broke it, so I repurchased this exact same headset in white after I bought my PC. The Bluetooth connection is nice. I honestly haven’t had to charge my headset yet since charging it when I first got it, which I should probably do so soon lol. Overall, it’s a great headset. The ONLY issue (which isn’t even really an issue) is that every time I use the headset it shows everyone I’m in a party with that I’m speaking even when it’s muted. There’s no sound or anything, but my gamer tag displays in the chat box even if I’m muted. I’m not sure if this is a setting issue or what, but I had this issue with both my headsets on both my Xbox and my PC. However, as long as it’s just a visual defect in the party and it’s not echoing or anything, I don’t really care. Still, it’s great!

    This is the first wireless headset that I have had and man let me tell you, it is freaking awesome! I love Razer and this is a very good budget headset. I love the ability to be able to switch from my gaming PC to my phone bluetooth in a second, maybe two and then boom I am on the go or on a phone call ect. The noise canceling on these is very impressive, it sits very comfortably on my head and snug to my ears without hurting. It took a minute to get used to the firm snug since my previous headset (Razer kraken X) is several years old and is no longer snug. I was playing Hogwarts Legacy and I heard sounds that I didn't even know where in the game! These things are so very good and then setting up the 7.1 surround sound on my PC was even better! I have loved Razer and this furthers that. Another nice touch is that the mic is removable so you can use them as headphones or a gaming headset. I also use these for work on occasion and they work amazingly. 10/10 would recommend for immersion and blocking out whatever outside noise you want to escape from
