No bass would recommend to a kid but for an adult no

Mic is not that good and audio quality does not sound good

Can wireless really work as well as a wired headset? If you’re Razer, you’ll make sure these can. The set comes with a USB-C adapter operating on 2.4Ghz to ensure all the bandwidth you need is available. If you don’t have a spare C port, there’s also a USB-A converter included. To go portable, these also have a Bluetooth connection which sounds near (but not quite) as good. There’s no active noise cancellation, but they still do a decent job of blocking out ambient sounds. Razer includes a license for their virtual 7.1 audio software. I used the set up with Forza and while watching a movie. Both experiences left me totally immersed in what I was involved in. I have a nice widescreen curved monitor which fills my vision, so the headset added to the experience. The microphone is easily adjustable and picks up voice well while rejecting other background sounds. No concerns at all from those on the other side of the line! It wouldn't be a gaming set without lights. Razer’s app makes you create an account to use any of the features. There’s easy logins connected with popular social media apps, which makes linking your accounts with Razer easy. Setting up the lights can only be done if the headset is connected with the included dongle, but it works really well when it’s all put together. There’s a number of presets to choose from for different light shows. Razer also has a studio app, allowing for custom designs for your close ups. Razer’s family of gaming accessories continues to expand. The Barracuda Chroma X is a lightweight, wireless option which gives a little flair and a lot of functionality. If the software was a little friendlier, this would be an unqualified hit. I hope Razer makes the fixes which are needed so everyone can enjoy.

Stopped working after 2 months does not connect to my monitor or tv.

Cheap mic it really bad it other then that is pretty okay devics

I was pleasantly surprised by how nice this headset has been. In the past, all the wireless headsets with RGB lighting have had pretty middling battery life. I was impressed by how long the battery lasts on this headset, even with the lights on. Considering I have a tendency to forget to put everything on the charger on a daily basis, this has been really helpful with keeping my gaming sessions from getting disrupted. As far as other aspects of the headset go, I haven't come up with anything I particularly dislike. The microphone is decent quality, I've had no issues with signal dropping whether on Bluetooth or the USB adapter, and it's fairly comfortable and doesn't hurt my ears. The ear cups do a decent job at muffling external sound. One thing I found really interesting about this headset is that it doesn't seem to have it's own volume. Adjusting the volume wheel brings up the volume adjustment indicator on Windows, for instance. I've never really been a fan of having to keep track of multiple volume wheels, and I tend to reach for different ones depending on what I'm doing, so having them linked like that is really nice. Overall, I like this headset, and I would absolutely recommend it; especially for someone who prefers to have all the volume knobs linked together. That's just a really nice feature.

The Razer - Barracuda X Chroma Wireless Multi-Platform Gaming Headset is an absolutely fantastic wireless gaming headset. Razer does not sacrifice quality audio in any way on this new headset. Let's start with the ergonomics of this headset. The clamping force of the headset is just right. I even sometimes forget that I am wearing it while I am gaming that is how comfortable it is. The padding is nice and fits all sizes of ears, especially mine which are huge. Moving down to the connectivity. It is powered by a tiny wireless USB-C dongle, with the ability to adapt to USB-A if your device doesn't support USB-C. The design of the headset is sleek and professional. The microphone audio is pretty good for a wireless headset, by no means will it replace a dedicated studio mic but for game communications it is more than enough! The audio quality of the Barracuda X is fantastic. The power of the drivers in each ear had me actually needing to turn down the audio sometimes because it was too loud. The spatial awareness especially while playing an FPS game was incredible and helped me get even better situational awareness! All in all this is a a reliable choice for a new gaming headset and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for one!

I am going to assume that the good folks over at Razer have made no attempt at thinking about the size of the people who use their gear. I'm kidding. Still having flashbacks from their gaming controller. 😉 The headset feels pretty good. Played a few hours of Ghost Recon Breakpoint and didn't really notice them on my head after a while. They sound great and the mic is decent. No one complained about it. My old mic was hot garbage so it was noticeable when I was using a new one. These are built well, they don't feel like they were thrown together as a cash grab. The RGB is cool I guess. Not a selling point for me but I am sure it will be for others. I use these with my cellphone to listen to music and watch movies and I am impressed by the quality then as well. A EQ is always handy to have in a pinch to tweak them though. Battery life is good but I don't have the RGB on so battery life for those who like the lights will definitely vary. Overall I would recommend picking these up. They are lightweight and sound good.

I've been using the Razer Barracuda X Chroma for a week and the sound quality is pretty good for a gaming headset. The Razer TriForce drivers do deliver. They provide a well-balanced sound profile that's great for gaming but also holds up well for music and movies. The bass is pretty deep and driving without being too overwhelming. Explosions and gunshots have a satisfying bottom to them, but they don't drown out other important audio cues like footsteps or speech. In the midrange, voices come through clear and not tinny. The highs are detailed without being harsh, adding a nice high flavor to the overall sound. The sound isolation is decent for a gaming headset. It won't block out everything, but it does a good job of muffling background noise, helping you stay focused on your game or music. It doesn’t have active noise cancellation which i think should be included, even if it’s rudimentary, especially at this value level. More on this in a second. Music-wise, these headphones perform better than I expected. They handle different genres well, from bass-heavy dub and funk to more nuanced acoustic pieces. The sound signature is slightly V-shaped, which means the bass and treble are a bit emphasized compared to the mids. This makes for an exciting listen, especially for pop and rock tracks, but it’s not that good for me in contemporary orchestral, movie soundtracks, or classical. This can mean the more cinematic background music may make you crank up your volume. Audiophiles might find some more nitpicks, for most gamers and casual listeners, the Razer Barracuda X Chroma delivers a sound quality that's pretty good. Latency: not much latency at all over bluetooth wireless, but you can still “feel” it. If you want to decrease the latency, just use the 2.4 dongle that comes with the headset. I wish that Bluetooth was faster, but we live with it. I WISH that these headsets today would quit not including a 3.5 jack. Why not? It’s ancient and cheap technology that most people really really like! Ok, at the end of the day, if you are a Razer enthusiast or you want to be because of the LED color control through Synapse or the Chroma studio, this is your new headset. You don’t give up much to get really nice nice bling. Because I have a Razer Laptop, a Razer TB Dock, and a Razer mouse, it’d be crazy for me NOT to get these.

To say I have owned a lot of headsets would be like saying water is wet. I've owned more headsets than I can even recall, and gaming headsets chief among them, so impressing me is difficult in this area. Packaging: To start, packaging is as expected, it's standard razer green with an image of the headset. It includes the wireless dongle with an adapter for type-C to type-A USB for different platforms, a detachable mic, and a charging cable. Setup: Set up is staightforward, as it needs to be, since it's designed for use with many platforms. If you're using the headset with a phone you can connect via bluetooth and control the colors with the app. If you connect to your computer you can connect via bluetooth or the USB dongle and control the colors with Razer Synapse or Razer Audio. Use: The big thing they push with this is the ease of switching audio. There's a button on the side that switches it from 2.4GHz to Bluetooth and the capability of having both connected at once for 'convenience'. I'm not sure who out there does this but I don't and I don't know anyone that does, but I'm also not a console gamer, so maybe someone that switches between consoles or from PC to console would find that useful, I just don't. The audio quality itself is outstanding, the 7.1 audio inside the earcups gives you a true sense of positional awareness in games that can utilize it (I can tell when someone is coming from whichever direct in Counter-Strike... Yes it might be an older game, but it still helps). Setting the colors is easy and it ties into the entire Razer ecosystem, so syncing it up to the other Razer devices is seamless. I already had Razer Synapse on my PC due to using a Razer mouse and keyboard. I will say in the use that I don't love the detachable microphone, it's long and it gets in the way and it's one more piece that might get lost. Many of the headsets these days have fold up mics that wont get lost and dont feel like they are in the way. The audio from it is good, others say I sound clean through it, I just don't like the style. There is one confusing piece for me with this headset. Razer owns THX, yet this headset isn't THX certified, which feels like a miss for me. The THX name carries a lot of weight in the audio world and for them to not make their own device up to the certification seems off. That said it does have 7.1 audio built in the cups and it sounds great... Again just an oddity. Overall: It's not a bad headset, the audio from it is good, but I don't love the detachable mic and the missing THX is odd. That said, if you know what you're getting in to and the switchable audio connection is useful to you, then it's likely a good option.

Overall – I was not impressed with this, nothing really stood out as well as I would have expected something in this price range to have a key feature that separates it from the others, that said overall nothing I dislike but nothing that jumps out as better than others. Touch and feel – I will say these were very comfortable, the memory foam is a nice touch. They did feel solid however a bit concerned about the longevity of the band with constant use. Setup/Connections – they connect automatically to my PS and I was able to get them to connect to my computer with the USB dongle and phone via Bluetooth. All pretty much self-explanatory. Functionality – Let's start with the sound – it was OK nothing I can really point to to say I didn’t like but nothing that really stood out. I did have to make some adjustments in the app that helped. I would recommend using the computer app vs the mobile – there seemed to be more control in the computer app – that said it may be that they are in the mobile app just not as obvious. Next the mic – not much I can say – it’s crap – it's useable if it’s all you have but be ready for your friends to complain and housemates to tell you to stop streaming. Battery life – I charged it every night and found no issues with the battery life. Other – The lighted ear cup is kinda cool but really of little value in gameplay. Overall I would give this a 3-star rating again outside of the mic there’s nothing I really dislike just nothing I really like. I think at this price point there are better headsets available.

My son picked these out and he seems to be very happy with them. They look aesthetically pleasing and have a comfortable fit. He hasn’t had one complaint about them.

I was really excited to get these headphones because my last pair (different brand) are falling apart. I will say that I was impressed with the build quality of these right out of the box. They're lightweight but feel premium, with soft breathable ear cushions and the same material along the top where it rests on your head. Easy to adjust and the chroma lights are awesome. The head band has tons of flex, to the point where you can twist it and it won't break. That's a big plus for durability if you carry these around in a bag. Unfortunately, that's where my good experience with these ends. I did the initial setup with my PS5, and it connected to the dongle. I was able to hear everything (the audio is crisp) but the microphone wasn't working. I double checked that it was plugged in completely and correctly, and it was. I went into the PS5 settings and it said the mic was muted, but it wouldn't give me the option to un-mute it. Toggling the mute button on the headset also did nothing. So I downloaded the Razer Audio app on Android and paired the headset via bluetooth. That's when things got worse. Initially, I was able to change settings, play with the lights, etc. But the headset stays in BT pairing mode with a flashing blue light, even though it's paired. Pushing the Switch button did nothing to return it to the 2.4ghz dongle in my PS5. Stuck, I held down the power button and after about 10 seconds the headset powered off. Powering it back on, it connected to the PS5, but the audio was 100% volume and couldn't be adjusted by using the wheel on the left ear. The microphone still wouldn't work. I decided to try it with my PC instead and see if it was a PS5 issue. It connected, but I faced the same problem where the switch button wouldn't switch to BT. Holding it down for 3-4 seconds puts it in pairing mode, and it connected to my phone, but it wouldn't switch back to 2.4ghz until I held down power for almost 10 seconds and it powered off, then powered back on. Maybe it's just my unit that has a bug. I downloaded Razer Synapse on my PC to see if there was anything I was missing, but nothing changed. It's really frustrating to have a headset that won't connect properly and a microphone that won't work. Based on my experience, I can't recommend this. Hopefully there will be firmware updates or something to correct this. Other reviews seem to love it so maybe I just got a bad unit.

Love it but dosent work on xbox Need to program to a computer to use

Bought as a gift for my grandson. He absolutely loves them.

muffled mic in discord and sound in games don't bother with it i tried multiple different applications to fix it like synapse and all razer products doesn't work just buy a jack mic or a different Bluetooth headset.
