The verdict

The Razer Barracuda X (2022) builds on the success of the Razer Barracuda X from 2021, this time with Bluetooth, longer battery life, and a better microphone. For only $99 USD, it's a deal for any multi-platform gamer seeking a reliable headset.

✓Liked: Lightweight, Good sound quality, Multiple connectivity options, Bluetooth 5.2

✕Could be better: Ear cups swivel in a strange way, Only SBC codec, no AAC or aptX, USB-C audio is quieter

Owners

How we verify owners

Nobody who owns the Razer Barracuda X 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.
