Razer Barracuda X Wireless Gaming & Mobile Headset (PC, PlayStation, Switch 2, Android, iOS): 2.4GHz Wireless + Bluetooth - Lightweight - 40mm Drivers - Detachable Mic - 50 Hr Battery - Black

So happy with my new headphones sound fantastic and clear.

I was looking for essentially the best bluetooth mic I could get for work. A boom mic would be the minimum requirement for me, because you need the mic physically close to your mouth, so it had to be some sort of gaming headset. After that, I looked for mic sound tests and all that. So, you'll watch reviews and hear soundtests for the mic, and you'll think it sounds kinda bad on bluetooth. Plus some of the negative reviews on Amazon would make you concerned on the build quality. Even using the USB C dongle, other headsets like the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro or the Hyperspeed are significantly better. Well, take this from an audiophile: I tried these first hand and they are great. From the build quality, the mic quality and ability to not pick up background noise, all the way to the sound quality on bluetooth. I was under the impression that I was going to settle for a mediocre mic, and thankfully that's not the case at all. This mic is up there with a desktop boom mic, and sounds better than my $150 Logi Pro X. Your voice comes across clear and crisp without background noise, even if you speak at a low volume. The default EQ preset is garbage, but download the EQ app and set the preset to music or do your own custom preset, and it definitely surpassed my expectations. They also feel super solid though I'll have to break them in for a bit. So far, I love them. I'm glad I didn't go for the more expensive BlackShark hyperspeed. If these ever break on me, I'm more likely to buy them again than not. Sound clarity / definition is definitely good, comparable to quality open-backs like Sennheiser's. Sadly Razer uses a trash EQ by default, but nothing that can't be fixed by the user. These can get "bust-your-eardrums" loud, if necessary. The thing itself is not uncomfortable and does not put a ton of pressure on your skull, but with time and use it gets gradually more comfortable. I love how well-built they are. They are lightweight, but not in a cheap way. Razer is slowly earning me as a loyal customer, this is my third device from them and it's a hit like the others. First two being the Kiyo Pro webcam and the Siren V2 X mic. One tip for Discord regardless of device or headset: Disable echo cancellation, It only causes problems. The auto call switching feature is a nice add-on, and the USB-C dongle works on your phone if you want, even with a case on, as long as it's not a very thick case. 10/10, I hope Razer doesn't abandon this product line (at this price) and they continue to make newer / better iterations years down the line. EDIT: I ended up downloading Wavelet on my phone and using an AutoEQ profile specific to the 2022 Barracuda X. I couldn't be happier, sound clarity and quality improved a lot. (If you wanna do this and previously used the Razer app to set an EQ preset, go back to that app, connect the headset, and change it back to default. Otherwise the AutoEQ won't work properly).

Por el precio te entrega un producto de excelente calidad, contiene Bluetooth, un receptor 2,4Hz que puedes conectar con un extensor incluido y también tiene conexión Jack 3.5mm. La calidad de audio es buena, no la mejor que eh probado pero por el precio te dan más de lo que compras, 100% satisfecho. Nota: no tienen cancelación de ruido activa, pero las almohadillas cumplen bien su trabajo.

Item was broken. No easy way to return. Requires customer to pay for and print return label. Avoid at all costs

I'm deeply impressed by this product. I'm no audiophile, but do own multiple other nice headphones and office headsets. Construction quality seems great. Its all plastic (steel headband adjuster) but feels really solid. Matte finish. Considering the wireless connectivity and microphone and battery, they are impressively lightweight. The 2.4GHz usb-c dongle is critical here. I value low-latency video meetings so plain Bluetooth is not an option. (too much lag) But its also great to be able to take cell phone calls with them and also use for music-only via Bluetooth. Extremely comfortable. Like, wow. The ear cubs are exceptionally deep and large. I have large ears and fit easily within the cups such that all the clamping pressure is distributed on the skull/neck/jaw. Clamping force is medium. I have some lighter headsets, and some stronger ones. Riding a bike would be a stretch, but just sitting in the office I choose to stretch them out a bit to lessen the clamp. Audio is awesome. Bass heavy with sharp mids. They feel incredibly... spacious? Something about the physicality of the set makes the stereo separation beyond compare. It sounds really really good imo. And you can adjust with a THX or a third party app to make the EQ flatter if needed. External sound isolation is good too. I vastly preferred these for music compared to the Blackshark v2 X. Microphone is ok. Without adjustment I found the gain simply too high. But speaking softly, and turning the input level (on PC) down a bit, its pretty good. Very localized pickup. I also predominantly use these in MS Teams which has built-in noise suppression which I turn up to "High". In un-altered side by side comparison to the "Blackshark v2 X USB", the Blackshark is obviously lower and also clearer. Probably a better mic. But the Barracuda X will suffice for my workplace meetings and phone calls. (I have relatively high standards for this btw, 80% of headset mics are unacceptable imo) I somewhat miss having a rotating mic boom but having them detachable is the next best thing. Comes with all the cables you might need - all proprietary branded with integrated rubber straps. No carry case. They do not work with the Razer Synapse app (neither does the Blackshark X USB) which seems like a purposeful disabling for this "X" model. It does work with the Razer THX sound app but that has a $ cost and doesn't control the microphone. For the price I think its a surprising high performing product. From the packaging to the included cables to the audio, comfort, mic, and connectivity, it all speaks of quality. Well done Razer.
