A fix i found is by plugging in the dongle into a powered usb hub and disabling usb selective suspending in windows powerplan, legit solved my issue with the headset not connecting
That sounds legit
how did you suspend it? tutorial pls
giving this a try, hope it works. love the headset but sure is annoying needing to unplug/replug adapter every time it goes to sleep
Thank u so much, you solved my issue I tried and it worked.
Can You Show Us How To Disable It Pls
I am daily driving mine for a year now, besides breaking them a bit( some super glue fixed it) i had no issues with it other then when having both bluethooth and 2.4 connected i sometimes had to dissconet my bluetooth and reconnect the bluetooth to be able to switch back to 2.4.
best 100€ spent ever.
8/10 would recommend
Just bought em. Audio sounds terrible i tried using the dongle or bluetooth since i need the mic but it just sounds terrible do you have an idea? Maybe its a setup problem for me im not a techcnics guy
@@jasonruger7051 i got the same problem as you
@@jasonruger7051 explain terrible
I had that issue. How I fixed it is enabling the dongle as the default audio device, using their 7.1 surround app on boot up and turning on the headset before I turn on the PC. It's annoying but it's doable. I also don't have Bluetooth on my computer which may help
wait, what app did u use?
How to fix that problem on the mobile phone?
idk which barracuda x i use (2022 or not) but ppl ALWAYS say it cuts out weirdly or just plainly doesnt work
It's because you need to switch to wireless mode. You can switch it back and forth.
wym
I honestly haven't had any issues with my barracuda x other than finding a proper replacement for the detachable mic as it never seems to be in stock
2 years in I absolutely love them.
never again am i buying a razer headset spend 100$ just for it to stop working after the first month.
Bro mine never worked 😭😭
it worked for you for A WHOLE MONTH??? Mine broke in like 2 weeks
Thanks for huge heads up!
Do you know much the latency differs between the versions in 2.4GHz mode? Or are they same in that front?
I dont have the 2022 model anymore and i dont know how to test that 🥸
@@DanglishReviews thanks, no worries
Input lattency on hyper dongle is minimum to none on 2022 version. Again big thing that no one is know or talking about is SOFTWARE UPDATE for headset because you cannot do it on synapse or over a phone in app
hello, my headphones have sortof broken just beneath that spot and i cant get it back in. now it dangles all around everywhere. Can you give me a tip on how to fix? @@DanglishReviews
Dongle connected permanently do PC. Headset regardless if powered on after boot, before boot, after some time of inactivity, everything works always whenever I turn the headset on and boot up PC. I have set 7.1 surround software as default sound device and auto turn on the software using the 2.4 GHz dongle as the source device but it also works without the software (then 2.4 GHz dongle is default device). Headset trying to connect to bluetooth when detects PC off/sleep and immedietely switches back to 2.4 GHz when PC turned on/woken and no bluetooth device connected. Only way I was forced to use the button (three quick clicks) was when I had heapdhones paired with phone at the same time when PC was on with dongle connected.
In short summary, everything is working the same way as depicted on the website and box.
i don't know if this is a mistake in earlier releases of this headset, they dont do this anymore. this video almost made me not buy the not buy it, but im glad i bought it anyways.. what none talkes about is how to make this headset sound twice as good.. "Enable Dolby Atmos + Bassboost + Loudness Equalaztion." this makes the headsed twice as good in every aspect.
the dngle thing is an ongoing problem, tjek other people comments :)
Friends, I think I've found a solution, at least for myself! In my case, using a standard extension cord/adapter connected to the USB 2.0 port on my motherboard (on the back of the system unit) helped, I'm not 100% sure yet, but the problem has not yet manifested itself, even after restarting the PC everything immediately worked fine.
Still no problems
Unfortunately, today the problem returned for the first time: the headphones went to sleep and after waking up they could not connect to the dongle. I had to disconnect/connect the dongle.
Ive had mine for 2 months and it doesnt work anymore
Plug the dongle into system and Just search power plan then advance settings then under USB section " disable " it. ( it might be enable by default ) and boom u solved this issue !!! its a legit solution !!! its simple by disabling USB selective suspending in windows Power plan.
This is the same exact problem im having currently! however, my mic is super quiet now. I tried switching up settings and wiring it up, but it still quiet. idk what to do, i like this headset but its been no bueno so far.
Mine has been working forever but the Microphone don’t work
Me too bro , have u found a solution ?
@@Mamacitaa0_0 nope, I had to get a stand up microphone since it wouldn’t work
I have the same problem every time I restart my machine.
These were my first and last Razer product, my bro bought a set loved it and have had zero issues for 6+ months. I on the other hand have had 3 of them work good for a bit then turn on to blinking blue light and will do nothing else
6 months.... I had this PoS 6 months before the mic finally crapped out. Don't get me wrong, I was getting constant connection issues multiple times a day. Funny enough the mic issues go away as soon as you switch from the dongle to bluetooth.
This is by far the worst headset I got. Brand new headset and it’s so glitchy it barely worke
Friends, now it seems to me that the left earphone is playing louder than the right one. I'm thinking of switching to the 2021 version.
There is a firmware update available - did you try this? Both the headset and dongle on mine purchased today had a new versions available.
This happens i the PC automatically toggles power to usb. which it should, but its super annoying.
How is the headset these days?
Mine has large cracks around the hinge area. Never dropped or been carried in a backpack. only used for 4 months.
Did you fix it
It's funny bro because I had the headset for 2 years when I bought it when it first came out and I never had any issues until he two years later because I didn't take care of them and they still stuck up for me in 2024 they just recently broke because I didn't take care of them there was nothing wrong with them I had mine since day one since it launched I would say those are very good headphones I would say they're actually better than normal headphones headphones that you don't have to use the computer to adjust the sound or anything you know what I mean
Dang I was gonna buy this one but ig the hunt continues for the perfect headset
Which one you end up deciding?
me rn 😥still hunting
@@Yuzziixxany luck?
@@jaydeepap682 I got very fortunate and got the 2021 version since this problem he said is for the 2022 version and he switched to the 2021 and because they are still selling it where I'm at I got it 🤩 they are amazing!!!
Yo I've been looking for a budget wireless headset for close to a month now and f*ck me i still haven't found the one. Wish I was rich so I could afford Audeze maxwell or Sennheiser but i have to keep looking i guess
I just bought that headset and every time I put the mic in, I get bad sound. Can you help me?
Razer Barracuda (2021) here and yuck, the dongle have issue..windows say USB device not recognized wtf
My barracuda has one side scratchy audio it fixes itself but comes back now and then .. idk what to do its 2021 model
had the same problem when I got my first one... had to remove the dongle on and off to get the 2.4 connection to work.. sent it back for warranty then the 2nd one doesn't have anymore the problem. BIG L for those who bought their first copies.. huge frustration and blame it solely that they REFURBISH it and been saying it for RAZER but just pretends they don't do it.
The hyperspeed wireless on the 2022 model is terrible, constant disconnects, no auto reconnect, I have to also reconnect the dongle physically. I pretty much only use them with bluetooth now as it works way better for me.
Hi Simon, i have about 90~110$ Which wireless headset should I choose to play game FPS (most is PUBG)
i have a vid on my channel about it
@@DanglishReviews where is it bro
great short informative video
thanks
Next time im buying baseus headphones as smaller brands use things like standards and so that are not as big of a pain in the ass
I don't plan on using the USB dongle at all anyway. It will be bluetooth or wired so this isn't really a problem for me. Still, thank you for the information.
You will have this issue if your PC motherboard comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth inbuild. My motherboard has it, but I never enabled both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and dint even install any drivers for them. I use LAN cable for internet instead. I have been using the 2022 model since it came out and no issues so far.
So if I use this headphone in my Laptop will it work properly or not (I have never used LAN cable)
I found the fix. I do not get any connection issues if I plug it in a direct USB C port. Using USB A to C conversion creates the problem even with the provided extension cord.
You can also turn of powesave mode for ports directly - in power settings :)
@@DanglishReviews I always have that off, but it was still losing connection when I shut down my system. switching to USB-C direct port removed the need for touching it. I ordered a Cloud 3 already, will compare the qualities and keep the best one.
Funny story, I ended up picking up an used Virtuoso RGB XT for the same price and really enjoying it haha!
my sound gets pixelated on GAmes and not videos, and i cannont fix it , its making me mad.
I love having to unplug and plug back in the dongle every single time I turn them on.
:D
i got a barracuda x today and cannot connect it via bluetooth i assume it’s 2022 model
It does not have bluetooth
I have the same problem, but so far i do not have any other issue
Never buy razer , always got issue
Mine have no side tone
Well for me I'm always going to use the Bluetooth so it's fine with me
I regret my purchase, it's microphone sounds great, but it keeps disconnecting on my discord
so do you recommend this headset over hyperx cloud 2 or Logitech g733??
the solution is to plug it to power usb or set your usb power on
ye, go into powersettings and force it to not turn off when it wants too.
Eh, if thats the only issue i still wouldnt mind getting them
I have an issue with the little scroll to adjust volume, sometimes, when it gets to the top, it gets lower volume than a little bit before, in addition to that, sometimes y sounds louder in left side, even being the only side that sounds, and to fix it I have to literally hit the headphones in the little scroll against a hard surface, and on the left side of the headphones, also, sometimes bugs when connected both by wireless and bluetooth, and won't give sound in any of both.
as a person who uses a dongle on my Xbox controller this won't be an issue for me
Dose anyone know how to fix the mic lagging problem
i have this wierd problem which is ofc i think with my windows 11 so please tell me the fix if anyone has it. I bought these a few days ago, headset is awesome but the thing is , whenever i connect the dongle directly to laptop's usb c port, it works flawlessly, but when i use the given usb C to A extender , the laptop just say usb device malfunctioned error. But i tried connecting it to my 10 year old laptop with the extender, it works fine there. Any fix? generic youtube fixes for that windows error seems to do nothing. (note: it shows "Unknown USB device (Det Address Failed)" in device manager )
Ive been using the 2022 version since its release, approximately more than a year now. And the only issue i have is that my dongle doesnt connect to the headphones anymore, this could be due to my frequent dropping of the dongle but so far i havent had any issues at all. Connecting to bluetooth is functional, when the dongle was still alive it connects really fast with no problem, and the mic for me is really good considering its a $100 headphones. I have no regrets but i do have to admit the sound quality using bluetooth isnt as good as using the wire or the dongle.
correct even though i never connected to bluetooth on pc , even with usb dongle it does not auto connect after pc reboot next day ,,,,it also disconect in between gamiing with dongle attach
to old usb
Hi looking for a similliar shaped headset but it needs to be rainproof. I now use BlackSharks v2 and im happy with them, but i want one pair for outside use as well.
im having distortions what i will do
bought a new one.. same issue, hate it very much! except for PC everything is OK
exactly
And who batter? Barracuda x 2022, Barracuda x 2021, g535 and g733? Btw i love bass in music. I use 50% for music, and 50% for gaming and watching anime
its so hard, i'd say HyperX Cloud II or Baracuda X 2021 (of those ive tried)
depending on if you like foam or the fake leather pads..
Barracuda x 2022, or cloud 2. G535 is okay, very comfortable, but sound is a abit average, sounds better if u add bass boost in peace eq. but still not good as barravuda x or cloud 2.
02:41 the friend just found your video. Visiting your house soon :)
Hi, did you try disabling bluetooth on your pc and do you thing the mic is enough for ingame voice chat
and discord or should i get an external mic?
The problem is because the USB turns off devices it thinks it does not use Per default .. so it can be fixed in power setting by not letting it do that
@@DanglishReviews Okay, thank you, because for me they are both the same price and the bloutooth and longer battery life is a nice to have
Do you know where I could buy the old USB - C dongle for Razer Barracuda X (2021)?
aliexpress
I cant use 7.1 on win 11....
i think razer has an issue with their dongle, i have the basilisk mouse and i use the dongle to any usb 3.0 the connection has some issues. but with usb 2.0 port the connection issues went away. strange.
a little update on this, i just got the 2022 razer barracuda, and its the same issue. tried on usb2.0 port and works fine for games and media. But when i try it on usb3.0 ports, intermittent connection issues. tried this on pc and work laptop too. same issue.
Thanks for great video ❤ iam abaut to buy it do you recommend it for me?
And is there better choice for same price?
Iam looking for best build quality and build quality
Because I can't afford to buy another for like two years , at least, and I don't want it to break easily
look at Razer Blackshark V2 Pro (the old model) or HyperX Cloud II for better build quality or Logitech G Pro X (old model) they are all pro models, which have a new model.. and better build qual
@@DanglishReviews ok, what about wireless headset any recommend ?
that was what i was referring to, i'd never buy a wired headset
My only issues is when I use the microphone is I can still hear noises in the background when I listen to my recordings how do I know the microphone isn't broken
bro did you figure this out? im contimpleating sending it back its so annoying like i can hear my damn keyboard and stuff even though its meant to be noise cancelling and cant edit the mic at all cos its not able to be used with synapse which i think is so stupid
@@Adam-tx3vmdouble tap the mute button
LOL i am watching the video with the same headset
There is also a problem with the headphones turning off automatically after 15 seconds when there is no sound, which means that you have to turn them on again and again. I understand this option after e.g. 10 minutes, but not after 15 sec!!! I believe this makes these headphones useless. There are a lot of posts related to this on the RAZER forum, but no solution.
Still not found?
Is it better the 2021 model rather than 2022 model?
i use the old model
Huh, I read somewhere that the 22 version has a better mic than the 21.
I couldn't find a 22 in my country anywhere for a month, so I just ended up ordering the only 21 I could find.
If the only difference is BT and battery life, then I guess it's not that bad.
It might have a better mic, but I can not tell the difference in my tests :)
@@DanglishReviews Good to hear, cheers 😁
bro what about the latency for competitive games like valorant and csgo
Thats why Lightspeed or Hyperspeed is good, not bluetooth.
Not sure if you'll reply but is it good for creating/doing podcasts and livestreams?
The mic is not, no
@@DanglishReviews for audio work? Hearing?
If I'm using my headset TH-cam won't play, when I disconnect my headset TH-cam plays fine.
have you changed audio source to the headset :)
@@DanglishReviews yes, I figured out that Bluetooth and Dongle were conflicting so I removed Bluetooth, it works great now.
When you connect the headset with 3,5 klinke - will this turn off the bluetooth function of the headset? Or is bluetooth always on?
Dont think they have 3,5 mm
@@DanglishReviews of course they do have 3,5mm :D
I don't recommend buying it, I have it and these are totally flimsy, one simple drop and it broke off great material from the header. The sound and speed is good but the quality of the materials gives a lot to be desired.
i have another problem with this headset. the mic does not work using bluetooth (no matter if its the pc or the phone). i dont understand... help pls
Same happens to me
same
I'm planning to buy Razer barracuda x 2022 version next month, thanks for sharing this issue. But for me it's not a big problem. 😁
I would get the 2021 model :) but thats only my opinion 🥨
have u bought the barracuda x 2022 sir? i just bought mine and it keep disconnecting randomly, sometimes it reconnects by itself or i need to unplug and replug the dongle or turn ( a bit like simon's problem but mine happens in the middle of use )
@@varian002 Try installing Razer Audio on your phone, connect it via Bluetooth and change Stand-By mode from 15 minutes to never.
@@varian002 If the method above doesn't work :
1. change your PC's USB power plan
2. Try moving your wifi router away from the PC
3.Try turning off the bluetooth device or other wireless devices on your PC
4.Update drivers
5.Try plugging the Razer dongle into USB 2.0
6. If there is another USB device attached near the dongle (for example an external hard drive), try unplugging it first.
Good luck.
@@MyTechTaste i tried changing my usb power plan and it worked well so far! thank you for the help sir
Just got the delievery myself of 22 headsets will test and update here. Thankyou for the video, if possible can you share steps how i can reproduce this error to confirm on my headsets
Its just everyone i turn on my computer .. its not automatically connected
And eveytime i turn on the headset - not connected ..
The 2021 never loses connection, neither does all my other 2.4ghz-only headsets
@@DanglishReviewsGreetings, hope you doing well. After watching your video i bought 2022 razer barracuda X it working great but just a bug bothering me. Whenever I connect headset with my android phone (xiaomi redmi ) its mute button simply dont work as expected even on recorder app it register my voice after muting from headset correctly, even checked this on samsung phone. But strangley its working on iPad and on laptop if connected via bluetooth. Any suggestions for me or did you faced?
How to reproduce error:
Take any android phone and connect via bluetooth this headphone, open discord app and try to mute with ur headphone mute button.
Been using like for a year, for me the bluetooth problem was sometimes only but a volume wheel is my problem. i had to scroll up and down to fix it or it gonna hear just one side of the headset.
Did you resolve it? I have the same problem
I have an issue that my newly bought razer barracuda x headphones's microphone doesnt work. Pls help me fix this
U have to unplug and replug and turn it on and off, dont move the mic too much
Mine is perfectly fine all I had to do was put the usb piece in and change a few settings within the games I was playing and in pc settings. It’s all about the settings it is kinda confusing but I figured this out as soon as I got it. Don’t connect it as Bluetooth or connect it then remove the Bluetooth version off of your pc and you will be fine
Yea no, i have 10 headsets with a USB 2.4 GHz dongle that works plug and play, and this does not keep connection, you have to re-plug and connect everytime you want to game.
Some pc's (my coworker) does not have the problem, but it was on me and my sons computer. This can be down to how the motherboard or case treats the USB's as far as i have figured out, if the USB ports auto power off , then you have to reconnect the dongle everytime you reboot the computer, or just want to switch to using the headset after i has been powered off or on standby.
Maybe its windows 10 vs. windows 11 also.
Mine wont work anymore with PS5, just no recognition… its a mess
sad
Sound is ok and mic works. Build quality poor and will not stay connected to PC.
I have a USB Type C to 3.5mm jack adapter. Will it still work ?!
Yes.
Does the problem still persist or is it fixed by now?
Did you find the answer?
@@mdshkns I did not
i think its still here.
So i have a problem where my audio is cutting out with the dongle using USB-C and 3.0 port. Has anyone found a fix? I'm being sent a replacement but I don't know how much that'll help.
have you found a fix? i've been going through the same problems
asus rog strix go bt have same problem
This headphone absolutely sucks. Not even 8 months old and my headset stopped pairing with anything, and if it does, there is not sound at all. Only works wired. Flimsy build quality. Never buying another Razer product again all their shit is mediocre.
Dude i loved your videos about g733, g535, and also barracuda X 2022, after seeing this video, i assumed that the problem with the dongle is much come from pc users am i right? Ive planned to buy this headset next month for my ps5, is there any dongle issues for ps5? I was going to buy g535 but after seeing ur videos about barracuda X i just fallin in love with razer, please do u ever try barracuda x to the ps5?
i do not own a PS5 - the issue on PC can be solved with correct power mangement configuration of USB's my coworker have the Barracuda X 2022, and have no problems with it.
Hey man, did you buy the headset? If yes, did you faced this problem or any other problems?
Thank you!

There is only 2 models, currently.
U have to triple tap the power button to switch i dont get ur problem😂
And hold for 7 seconds for pairing
this is headset is absolute garbage. Got it for my bday and its steady has problems connecting to my PC and the audio quality consistently gets distorted. The charger does not stay in the headset securely either so you cant play and charge at the same time
Hi, I though of buying my very own first wireless headphone. But couldn't make desicion between Razer Barracuda X 2022 & JBL Tune 720 BT. Any suggestion?
If for pure sound quality (movies, music) I would always pick up JBL but honestly I like Razer design, sound quality in games (that 7.1 softwares gives nice sound depth). Maby I'm a little Razer fanboy and when using peripherals I prefer one brand for everything (headset, mouse, keyboard).

what about the hyperpeed dongle connection? do you have in issue using a single dongle for 3 razer devices?
right now i have 2 connected, with no issues at home. :) they are all paired, and Razer would not be able to sell them to esports, if they were bothering eachothers connections at LAN

Razer isn't what it once was. The quality has really gone downhill
the razer blackshark v2 pro 2023 are good though, everything else is trash and always has been.

i solve mine by pluggin it in my type c port. (gaming laptop) might be an interferrance with my other 2.4 dongle wireless keeb. its all fine now. non pro TIP: turn it on before the pc and i set my my default audio to the 7.1 surrounds on startup.
