Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sound quality is mid at best. Very snug fit...avoid if you have a melon on your shoulders.

Headset has poor design. Broke within two weeks and sound quality wasn’t really any good.

I can hear thru the headset but people cannot hear me.

Poor sound quality, uncomfortable battery doesn't last long

As for compatibility when using the mic (think fortnite)These say nintendo Switch right on the box next to Xbox PC and Playstation... these only work for everything but Nintendo switches. The dongle and mic included did not work the headphones look great and they charge as supposed to

Very poor sound quality sounding tinny and far away.

Connection on these is not good. Always cuts out and has static sound when I use wireless

Sound was good but battery life was really bad 1 day max.

I the headset, but it doesn't place nice with iOS and Mac OS and Zoom or Teams running on Mac OS. Guess I will have to dive into the instructions. Based on the packaging, I expected more of a plug and play experience.

Nowhere on the box or description does it mention you need to create an account on their website to even use the surround sound. Garbage company and software. Go with logitech instead.

Sound quality is awful compared to my Xbox headset, gives a major headache and return policy so short you don’t even get a good chance to test them. Would not recommend

Mic stopped working at day 16 so I could not return it. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! Flimsy mute button that will break and make your mic not work.

they sound crappy, they broke in one day, fit wasnt good, they mic doesnt sound good either

excellent comfort. excellent sound quality and isolation. i havent gotten any complaints from others on voice calls about the microphone quality when i asked about it, so i assume it's pretty good. very intuitive to set up. it took me a few minutes to figure out how to plug the microphone in correctly and toggle it on/off, but i didnt look at the manual before trying it, so i'd say it was fairly intuitive overall. i havent run the batteries dry to determine the total battery life, but so far it lasts a full day and then some. the 2.4GHz dongle plugging it at a right angle instead of sticking straight out is appreciated, since my previous headset died from the USB plug breaking off of the dongle from being jostled too much. i greatly appreciate the versatility of being able to use the headset with 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, and a 3.5mm audio cable, since my previous headset only supported 2.4GHz and is now useless without a working dongle.

I brought this headset for my child for his nintendo switch, it would connect but the mic would not work. We had to return to the cord headset.

The bluetooth is a hasle to connect and also the bluetooth will disconnect in and out. Do not get for pc gaming bad headphone

Very bad software. Very dumb controls. Very poor signal. Do not buy. I'm telling you.

The mic does its job well for casual voice chat and in-game comms. It actually sounds quite different depending on whether I’m wired or wireless, although that could be the fault of my onboard audio. It’s much quieter and a bit thin when wireless but has a dead silent noise floor. I can boost the gain a ton and still get no noise even with a fan running. When it’s wired my voice sounds louder and more full but with some constant background noise beneath it. If you switch frequently you might have to accommodate for that in your settings. The sound of the headphones strikes me as a bit too warm. I find myself needing to turn the volume down when I listen to anything bass-heavy or it wears me out. They’re solidly “good enough” for a gaming headset though. There’s a Razer mobile app with a custom EQ you can tweak at least. It's hard to speak on build quality while it's new but there's a lot of plastic so I'd treat it with care. The buttons feel tactile and good to press. Swiveling earcups are nice but I find myself worrying about the extra moving parts it introduces at the joints. They clamp a bit tight and the manual recommends stretching it apart gently before wearing it to reduce stress on the headband, but it’s not an exercise that inspires confidence. I do appreciate the detachable mic though. As far as general usability goes the range is great, latency is low, and the battery life is amazing. It worked for me on Linux (Mint) out of the box, but if I leave the dongle plugged in while I boot Pulse doesn’t seem to bother to make my audio jacks usable for whatever reason. Also the 7.1 surround sound stuff is a Windows-only exe if you care about that. Other than that I tend to get stuck in bluetooth mode when I try to do stuff with the app on my phone, and can’t switch back to my PC until I turn bluetooth off on my phone to force a disconnect. Overall I’d say it gets the important stuff right but with a lot of minor nitpicks and quirks to deal with. It’s my first wireless headset and more than anything else the freedom that it provides has been great. At this price I just wish they could tighten up all the small details a little better.

They have a lot of connection issues. I switched back to my old wired headset

The Razer Barracuda X headset enters the market as a slightly more premium option, offering an enticing blend of features at an accessible price point. Combining Razer's renowned build quality and audio performance, the Barracuda X aims to carve a niche in the mid-tier gaming headset market. In this review, we'll explore its design, audio capabilities, comfort, and the trade-offs it brings, including its limited noise cancellation, to help you determine if it's the right fit for you. Audio Quality: Razer is known for producing headsets that prioritize audio quality, and the Barracuda X doesn't disappoint. With impressive soundstage and clarity, this headset elevates your gaming experience by allowing you to pinpoint enemy footsteps and immerse yourself in the virtual world. The audio profile caters to both gaming and multimedia consumption, delivering solid bass and balanced highs. Whether you're engaging in intense battles or enjoying your favorite tunes, the Barracuda X provides a noteworthy auditory experience that surpasses the baseline. Comfort and Design: The Barracuda X maintains Razer's commitment to ergonomic designs, ensuring hours of comfort during extended gaming sessions. The memory foam padding on the ear cups and headband, along with the lightweight construction, contribute to an enjoyable wear experience. The design is sleek and minimalist, with the Razer logo adding a touch of gaming aesthetics. The detachable microphone further emphasizes the headset's versatility, allowing you to transition between gaming and daily tasks effortlessly. Value Proposition: One of the key selling points of the Barracuda X is its value proposition. While priced slightly above typical budget headsets, the additional investment pays off with enhanced audio quality and overall build. Razer's attention to detail and commitment to durability are evident, making this headset a compelling option for those seeking a step up from entry-level models without delving into the high-end range. Noise Cancellation Consideration: One area where the Barracuda X falls a bit short is noise cancellation. While it offers a reasonable level of passive noise isolation thanks to its snug fit and padded ear cups, the active noise cancellation is notably limited compared to some pricier competitors. This means that ambient sounds, especially in louder environments, might seep through to your listening experience. However, if you're primarily using the headset in a quieter setting, this might not pose a significant issue. Recommendation: In conclusion, the Razer Barracuda X headset strikes an appealing balance between affordability and performance. Its remarkable audio quality, ergonomic design, and overall build make it a strong contender in its price range. While the noise cancellation might not be its standout feature, the Barracuda X compensates with its other strengths. If you're willing to trade off some noise isolation for exceptional audio and comfort, the Barracuda X comes highly recommended as a versatile and budget-friendly gaming headset.
