Razer Barracuda Wireless Gaming & Mobile Headset (PC, PlayStation, Switch 2, Android, iOS): 2.4GHz Wireless + Bluetooth - Integrated Noise-Cancelling Mic - 50mm Drivers - 40 Hr Battery - Quartz Pink

Great sound quality! You're able to use it while it's charging and even use it wired if you want! (If you want the least lag possible, you should use it wired, but I only notice the lag when playing Osu and not when I'm playing competitive shooters.) So it's definitely a good value for what you pay for. I wish the cord for wired listening was just a bit longer, but it's a comfortable length to move around at my desk since my PC sits very close to me. You can control the volume from the side and pause and play music by pressing the on/off button once quickly. The headphones turn facing upward so you can still hear your audio when you take them off (only if it's loud enough). It's not noise canceling, but it suppresses background noise very well. I don't hear much at all when their on, especially with game or music on. I do wish the ear cups were just slightly deeper, but the Barracuda X version does if that's what you're looking for. But that's not a downside for everyone. For me, I don't have any discomfort wearing them for long periods of time, even with them being shallow, because they are padded inside very nicely.

To write a fair review I'll start with all the good qualities first. Pros: 1) Sound quality is great on pc when THX audio is activated on the app. The surround sound is great. Okay, that's it, that's the only pro Cons : 1) mobile sound quality is bad. Bluetooth quality is not good. Why? Because of false advertising from Razer. Razer claims THX audio is on this device BUT it's NOT available on the mobile app for Apple or Android via Bluetooth. This is extremely misleading. You only get the all the functions of the headset on desktop with the USB c dongle 2) Build quality is terrible. I have not dropped the headset one time and I have two chips in the plastic. I believe the headset has quality control issues on the ear cups. The ear cups can swivel which can lead to the plastic slightly rubbing causing wear to happen. 3) Razer software is a corporate boardroom disaster. What do I mean? Their desktop app is filled with excess bloatware and advertising. Instantly trying to already advertise more Razer products before I even turned on the headset. It's truly awful. Turtle Beach and Steelseries apps are not like this. 4) Razer support. They dance around actually helping you. I have two tickets with them about the issues listed above. I've registered the headset on their app for their warranty which requires proof of purchase from Amazon. I've uploaded a jpeg of the receipt showing itemized details. I've uploaded the serial number and product number to my Razer profile. This is all required to successfully register the headset. The support reps constantly ask for uncorrelated information to dance around actually helping you. Such as asking for the serial number of their product. That information is in my profile with them. You provide it to them then they ask for proof of purchase. I said that's in my profile as well. Then the rep said a jpeg isn't good enough, they want a pdf instead even though they approved the jpeg image of the Amazon receipt. They close the tickets of you don't respond to their question in 48-72 hrs. And then you have to start all over. It's crazy. I'll never buy a Razer product ever again in my life. Too many other great companies out there and competition. Wasted money.

These headphones are good looking, high quality, and overall great for the casual listener. I've had them for about a few years now, and they still look and work like brand new. Razer is a good brand for computer accessories like this, but I understand they are not *the* best objectively. The audio quality isn't that bass-y, so if you want bass or you are an audiophile then I'd look elsewhere. Also, they are comfortable but not comfortable enough to wear for hours on end. As someone who uses headphones every now and then, they work just fine and have lasted me a long time. Overall, worth the purchase if you're not a complete audiophile.

I just want to preface that Razer products are great... until they are not. They are made cheaply so they NEVER last. I have owned well over a dozen other products... and they all eventually fail. Higher cost does not equal better quality... just more options or power. These headphones feel and perform wonderfully. Sound is great, all of the external features like volume dial and buttons work and feel great. Never had any issues there. I would say that the volume knob should be moved further up the edge of the cup as sometimes my shoulders drag the volume knob. The cup cushions feel great and prevents sweating from prolonged usage. Headband is comfortable and easily adjustable. Now to the bad. I have only owned them for around 8 months... and while pulling the head phones off of my head, (I was not rough with it) the edge of the casing around the band shattered. I don't mean a piece of the corner came off... I mean it damn near exploded into pieces. No idea why. It seems the backpart of the casing of the inner side of the headband below the padding... it somehow came loose and it binded up with the ear cup and shattered all of the corners off along with taking off a big chunk of the band. Not sure how in the heck this would happen unless whatever cheap glue (or lack thereof) finally gave out and you know the rest. I have yet to ever buy a headphone or pair of earbuds that will last more than about a year. Overall... these are great headphones when they are working and the band is not busy breaking to pieces unexplainably. I paid $130... so I had much higher expectations than them coming apart after 8 months. So use this info as you see fit... but treat them very gently and they may last longer than they did for me.

Recently got a gaming laptop so I decided to get a headset and mouse for it. Razer was what I landed on. It's a real hate and love relationship with Razer. I don't really like their software because the last time I tried logging into Synapse, it kept kicking me out and just not working. And Synapse is almost completely necessary to use Razer hardware to their fullest. Why did I come back though? Their products are always perfectly in between being cheap/affordable and ultra-quality/overpriced. I mean, $100 for a wireless headset that's both bluetooth and 2.4hz? I'll be honest and say I thought the Barracuda X (2.4hz Connection Only) was the only Barracuda they sold. Grabbed this the second I realized it was both and now I have 3 wireless headphones sitting in my room... Of the three, it's definitely the less quality sounding one but that's saying it without context. The best one I have is Sony's $350 WH1000XM4 (why cant you call it something normal Sony), followed by Corsair's HS70 Pro. Now, sure the HS70 Pro has a comparable price (Assuming they remain around $90-100 )and it might sound a bit better, but then you factor in the aspects of each of these headphones, price, comfort, features, the Barracuda comes out pretty good. If I stuck to my old headsets, I would need the Sony pair for my phone and I would need the Corsair pair for my laptop while on the go. With the Barracuda, I get rid of one extra pair of headphones. It's comfortable, sounds pretty good and fits my needs perfectly. Assuming Synapse doesn't start acting up again, I'm happy with what I have and I might make a full return to Razer products.

I needed multipurpose headset after my Steelseries Arctis 1 wired version finally choosed this one. No broken or scratches in box. Works well. Didnt need to use with analog cable. The dongle gives good quality sound. Looks cool and hasnt any problem. I just feel it tighter after my old one. Because of this it is hard to hear someone if near. REVISION after 8 months: - volume tuner is not working/ properly. - 2.4hz wifi dongle doesnt work properly. - it wotks with analog cable. But tuner is not working with it 100% - it feels tighter - voice quality is good, no problem. - bloetooth is working good - battery life is very good - not suitable for travel use. Heavy and very tight when hanging on neck. It is broken. Not durable material, i dont even know when and how it is broken. Earphone holder is very thin.

Edit!!! After purchasing the exact same headset, I can tell you that they absolutely got even CHEAPER plastics! Uploading new pictures to show the new headset that I received already broke in less than 2 months! I've fixed it again with the same method that I've used in the past, but will absolutely be looking for a different brand completely after this. Soooo disappointed in it. Especially after the first set performed so well! I'm looking at buying another gaming headset after owning this one for 3 years! I immediately already know I'm purchasing the same thing. Honestly it still works great, but the plastics get a bit brittle after this long. They're very comfortable still, even with glasses! That was the biggest hurdle I experienced with finding a headset. Something with soft ear pieces that wouldn't push my glasses into the sides of my head. 3 years and honestly they're still going strong. They can connect to both computer via usb dongle or any Bluetooth device. (computer, phone, etc) The mic is very clear to all my friends online. I actually have an audio interface with a phantom power suspended mic (very high dollar), and you can tell when I switch to the other mic, but my friends have told me it's only a slight difference. They're lightweight, and cordless which is always a win/win. Range on them seem pretty good as well. I game in the basement, and can walk out into the garage upstairs or even into the driveway of my house before experiencing any issues. Definitely reaches the bathroom without any issues and that's upstairs on the other side of the house. I did buy a 12ft long USB cord, plug the dongle into it, and put it on the other side of my gaming room to help extend the range a bit though. (put it at the bottom of the stairs, behind my couch). I've touched base on one "con" already with the plastics being brittle, which I've been just using "Mighty Putty" to fix and then letting it sit all night, then it's fine again, and honestly there's only one more small thing. The volume control on it seems a bit weird after about a year, if I had to guess on the timing. I try turning it down with the headset slider, and it'll turn it down, then back up, even with me only turning it down. It's really not a huge deal for me though, because when I turn it down on the computer, a slider pops up on my screen and I can click on that to turn it down just as easily, and with my phone, obviously, you can just use your side buttons to adjust the volume. Overall though, these have definitely stood the test of time as far as the speakers go. Both right, and left still work just fine. Plenty of sound for someone looking to listen to music, audiobooks, video calls, or even trying to hear footsteps in your favorite game. The noise deadening works great, but not TOO much. If your house is on fire, dogs barking, or wife/husband/significant other is yelling at you, you'll know it. 😉😉 Another quick note is that the adjustment for size on it works as it should. I have a bit of a small head and it fits me just fine. Wife wears it fine too. I don't have to adjust it at all for it to fit me and in fact, at the largest size, it would probably fit a giant.. Just sayin. They get to be very large if that's what you're trying to find. Like I said, after 3 years, and I'm now looking for a new headset, just strickly for anesthetics. (Tired of looking at the Mighty Putty haha) But tbh I'm seriously considering just buying the same headset again.

Too many negative reviews for these. Just need a little tweaking. Razer synapse 4 has been out for some time and is what you should use to run these headphones with THX Spatial Audio right in the app when the headphones are on and connected to 2.4ghz (not bluetooth) app won't pick them up then. Sound is clear and more robust than the Razer Barracuda X, thougth that is an excellent pair of headphones as well. Bluetooth does not seem to work with some games but does work well with streaming video and music. If you have the Standalone THX Spatial App installed from a previious headphone set, it is not necessary unless you are using bluetooth, (but again has trouble in some games with sounds) I found that not using bluetooth at all (never getting it paired at all works best (no disconnects without bluetooth) tends to want to change to bluetooth if not. Otherwise these sound magnificent on 2.4ghz THX Spatial Game Mode in Games and changing settings in the Razer Synapse 4 app if you are using for streaming video, movies, or music. Hope this helps. Razer makes excellent products, just this one needs just a little TLC to get them to fit your style.

Can't imagine myself without the freedom and comfort this headset gives. Sturdy but not heavy, doesn't pinch my ears while wearing over glasses or a mask, incredible quality of sound, long-lasting battery (mine goes three days without charging). Looks pretty. What more can you need? Better than my Logitech, Sony, Marshalls, and JBL.

El audio es excelente, la Opción para cambiar de 2.4 a Bluetooth es muy útil para pasar de la computadora al celular, la batería dura bastante, aproximadamente 32 horas, su construcción es muy buena pero se sienten frágiles, son muy cómodos y no generan calor, el diseño es elegante y discreto, no parecen audífonos gamer lo cual es bueno si quieres llevarlos a la calle para escuchar música, también se pueden conectar mediante cable 3.5mm y tienen un extensor para usb c, los recomiendo solo si el precio está en los $2,000 MXN o menos, de no ser así hay otras opciones de otras marcas

Bought this pair after my last headset was falling apart. Love how long the charge lasts, easy to connect and the quality is great. I don't use the THX sound because I think it sounds better without using it. Very comfortable and sleek looking.

Increíbles! De las mejores compras en headsets Buena calidad de construcción, súper buen audio, lo único que me gustaría que fuera mejor sería la batería y el multipunto pero me salieron en 1600 entonces no hay queja alguna

I've had these for all of 9 months and they are falling apart really badly. I have had to tape the things together... I haven't dropped them or anything and they are literally having pieces fall off. This is hands down the worst headset I've ever owned. Sound Quality is pretty mid and the mic is terrible on top of this. The only thing this headset has going for it is that its wireless. Battery Life is about the same as any other wireless headset. I reached out to Razer about getting it replaced and they said their warranty doesn't cover the product falling apart of its own crap build quality. DO NOT BUY!!!
