The verdict

The Razer Barracuda Pro is a well built gaming headset with good sound quality and active noise canceling. The microphone quality and connectivity options are lacking, but if you can ignore those it's a great headset.

✓Liked: Good build quality, Sound quality, Active noise canceling, Two simultaneous connections

✕Could be better: No boom microphone, Limited support for consoles, No 3.5mm headphone jack

Owners

How we verify owners

Nobody who owns the Razer Barracuda Pro has written in yet.

Owner reviews are not paid for, not solicited from specific owners, and not rewritten by us: at most we proofread typos, which is shown on the review’s own page and which the author can undo. The commission SoundGuys may earn on this page comes from retail links, never from owner reviews.
