The versatile connection is honestly my favorite part of the headset. I don’t really have a lot of money so having a $100 headset that can be used wirelessly almost anywhere with an option for Aux as a last resort is so good. If you are someone like me who doesn’t want to spend extra money for wireless gaming headset and wireless Bluetooth headset for phones, the Barracuda X is a great option.
Absolutely, especially considering the price point. May not have every feature under the sun but when you can connect it to basically any device you own, it's definitely a good option
Please help the 2.4 usb wireless dongle only works as a remote for playing music. But there is no sound receiving in my headphones. The sounds only comes out on my phone's speaker.
yeah this headset is really great for that multi connection at a low price. ive been juggling towards playing on a pc and mobile and its great to have a headset that can do both.
Yeah, it's because of the way these type of connections work. For example, Bluetooth compress the audio, which make the sound quality to drop and it can interfere with other devices and even with objects and walls and the range and the sound quality is reduced because of that. The USB-Type C dongle don't compress or at least these is a minimal compression which make the sound quality much better and it don't interfere with objects or walls; normally it will interfere also with other devices but this headphone have Razer™ HyperSpeed Wireless Technology which make the headphone to automatically switch between radio frequences as to not interfere with other devices (it will go to a frequence where there are less devices) so that make both a larger range of use (in distance) and a better sound quality. Lastly, the 3.5 mm jack (wired) don't compress and there are 0 interferences which make the sound to be unmodified and the best out of the other connectivity options.
I just bought mine like 4 days ago. and to be honest im not totally satisfied for the headset. but it works fine for me. its just it didnt reach my expectation about the item HERE'S THE CONS and PROS in my own personal test. PROS. 1. You can connect both 2.4ghz and bluetooth at the same time. note: make sure to check if the version you have has bluetooth. 2022 version has it but older version dosnt so if your planning to buy this. ask the seller firts about the connectivity of the headset. 2. Ear Cups can be swivel so you can use it as a casual headset anytime anywhere 3. battery life is amazing. im playing like 5 to 6 hours daily ( not straight ) and until now i still have 60% of my battery 4. you can use it to anything like anything you can think of. PC MOBILE CONSOLE TV etc. note: XBOX can be connected via 3.5mm jack other than that you can connect wirelessly 5. it has 7.1 surround sound 6. you can charge while playing using 2.4 ghz CONS. 1. Bluetooth and 2.4ghz is not simultanious like you can only hear 1 at a time but there is a smart switch that you can switch to bluetooth and 2.4ghz with a tripple tap and if you are on 2.4ghz and someone calls you in mobile phone. it will switch automatically to bluetooth for you to decide if you will answer the call or not. (social media calls or regular sim calls) 2. Bluetooth connectivity is not that loud unlike you use it on 2.4ghz or 3.5mm jack. its like if your using it in 2.4ghz with half volume thats the only thing you can hear in bluetooth full volume. 3. there is only an app to control the EQ in Mobile phone but nothing in PC. 4. Swivel is facing front. i dont like it. hahahaha. i was hoping it swivels backwards so that it still good looking on you while your not using it and just hang it on your neck. but no biggie for me. 5. it doest have built in mic. so if your trying to use it on a mobile phone or anything else. you need to attach the boom mic so that you can talk to someone whos calling you. not good when your traveling though 😅😅😅 6. Razer give me a ACTIVATION code for the 7.1 surround sound software for pc that will only works on WINDOWS 10 64bit. i installed it and damn i dont like it while playing. I was testing it in a VALORANT game and the gun shots from the front and the gun shot from behind sounds exactly the same. so if your playing on it you will be 100% confused where those gun shots came from. but dont worry just dont connect it via razer 7.1 surround sound software and jus connect it via sound settings on you pc or laptop then it will just work fine. i think the 7.1 surround software is only good for MOVIE STREAMING. 7. lastly. sometimes when you just open up you pc. it will not automatically connected to your headphone. sometimes you need to unplug and plug it again so that it will work just fine. for me this is not a problem coz im using it on my laptop. but for the PC gamers. i think this will find them annoying coz the pc itself is far from them unlike the laptop user. im not sure about it but i think it will. coz even in my laptop sometimes i get annoyed even the plug is just in front of me how much more for those pc games whos their system is below them or sometimes hidden. LAST WORDS : im still satisfied about it coz of the price to value itself. i travel a lot and fly everywhere and this headset will cover my travel time and even have more. its wireless. light weight. comfortable. and not so much gamy headset design for cassual use. still love the product. and i hope it will last.
@@andarwaly Yes. just connect it diretcly via USB DONGLE, Bluetooth or 3.5mm jack. the baracuda has a software to download called 7.1 surround. i try using it in game of valorant then i cant hear anything firing on the back so i didnt use it while in games. just connect it and dont use the software. 7.1 surround sound is good for movie streaming though
Nice review thanks! Never really been interested in RGB on headsets myself. Would you say that this is a good go-to option for about £100 or less? I haven't upgraded headset in years, so it's about time especially as Bluetooth means I could use it with my phone.
Hell yes, it's definitely worth it for the money. The sound is decent for a sub £100 headphone but the fact that you can use it 2.4ghz wireless for PC/Switch/PS4 or bluetooth for mobile phones with a long battery life makes it good value.
@@somestudent5253 what do you think of 2.4GHz wireless versus Bluetooth? I usually stick to 3.5mm with my pc, but I'd happily use 2.4GHz if it was just as stable. I've found Bluetooth to be a bit quirky on pc.
@@lukehill5739 i think nobody it using Bluetooth on gaming coz of its latency. if your using it in a game. then use the dongle. but only for music and other stuff. bluetooth is fine.
I own these lady’s and I must say they are definitely worth every dollar they fixed everything the dongle got moved from the centre the the side soo i doesn’t block the ports the headphones do fit a lil big this is the first gaming headset I’ve bought but I do love it
The new feature BLUETOOTH added should be reviewed on mobile phones (iOs, Android, Tab, Ipad). it's weird that Razer remodeled it with new feature and not talk about it. Just skip trough it. Make one video for mobile phones platform as well.
The Reviews are awesome, just found you out. I have some question about this, thank you so much Does the microphone work with bluetooth? And the clamping force compared to arctis 3 or hyper x stinger how is it? ( I have TMJ so most headset hurts my jaw)
Great review ❤, for the past week I've been searching online for my first ever wireless headphones, I've only used wired connection so far, and I've been considering earbuds and headphones, but i couldn't decide, because i play pubg on my ipad daily and i need a pair that has very low latency , otherwise they'll just end up useless, but I also watch plenty of movies and listen to music on my Samsung phone and windows laptop, so i couldn't make up my mind because i didn't know if any headphones were compatible with all my devices, then yesterday i found a headset which i thought was IT, the soundcore q45, i was really happy watching all TH-cam reviews, and planned to order them this week..but today i wanted to see more options and now i saw this video, they both have similar features and cost, now I'm back to square one lol. Sorry for the long comment, Maybe after telling you about my usages, can you give a recommendation? Finally, the dongle, can it be used on the ipad/ Samsung usb c, or is it just for the pc?
This is honestly the most underrated headphone in the world right now, which happen to be wireless. Truly the jack of all trades, albeit master of none.
Have finally decided because of this review! This is very informative and you're really helpful! Thank you!!!! I'm going to be using it more on meetings but will also be using it with gaming on Switch. There are times that I have impromptu meetings and can only answer via tablet so I think this is for me. Most wireless headset doesn't support Bluetooth for the price range I'm looking for which is a struggle
@Pau The Creator the sound and mic clarity is good, if you have the foam on the mic while using it, the person you're talking to doesn't hear the fan or other excess noise. The pc software on the pc is for surround sound, i think the eq adjustment is via phone app
Hi KitGuruTech, I have the Barracuda X 2021 version and when I plug the 2.4ghz dongle to my iPad PRO or my Galaxy Tab s8 and when I enable microphone on games like Call of Duty mobile, Discord, Apex Legends mobile, I only hear sound on the left side of the headset. But when mute the mic from the games it works normally and I can hear sound on both sides of the headset. Does the Barracuda X 2022 still have this issue when using the 2.4ghz dongle on the iPad PRO or Galaxy Tab s8 or any android phone on those games? Thank you.
yes it is. but its so hard i think to find for the replacement. i ordered my replacement in china. and im living in the philippines. the replacement that i ordered is thicker and in leather now. still on shipping at this point though. :))
hi i just had mine. i connected it to my iphone via bluetooth however the mic does not work in calls unless i attach the detachable mic. is that normal?
Is the mute button easly pressed in?Im disabled and game from my bed so im worried the mute button would be a problem when pressed against the pillow.If anyone could tell me if this would be an issue for me,I would really appreciate it.
Please help the 2.4 usb wireless dongle only works as a remote for playing music. But there is no sound receiving in my headphones. The sounds only comes out on my phone's speaker.
I bought it today and when I connected it to PS5, it didn't sound good with 90% of the volume. I heard that it produces high volume. Not expecting too much but for a 100$ headphones with 90% shouldn't give subtle with 90% high. Also note that I've kept the max with the vol wheel and ps5 headphones vol is 90. Is this expected or I got a faulty one?
RGB Ruins Good Builds........................ Every step towards its Well deserved (and hopefully painful) Death cant come quick enough. Well Done Razer.
Guys just got the barracuda X 2022. The manual has all the instruction but didnt mention or its not clear how to charge it. How do you charge it? Is it okay to use samsung fast charger phone or only charge it in PC?
So you can listen to your music on a smartphone via bluetooth without plugging in the 2.4ghz thingy? If thats the case this is literally the best design. All esports players usually play wired for competitive play so your coveres with the 3.5 no matter what, then you can detach the mic and wear them out n about. And you can leave the dongle at home? If thats true these are perfect. I somehow got 2021 model ones the other day, didnt realize theres no bluetooth, so their going back. Absolutely no reason a store should have 2021 models on the shelf still in november 2022.
Jack seems to have 3 channels so it should. On the jack, each black strip corresponds to one channel. Left, right, Mic. If you see one with two channels, it's a stereo without a mic. If you see a single one, it's an ancient mono sound aux.
How’s the feel of extended use with the cuff sitting on the glasses arm? I need to upgrade and my old pair of headphones would agitate the side of my head with cuff and glasses arm
As someone who's had the original Barracuda X, this makes me want to upgrade... the BT connectivity is clutch especially when playing with the Kishi.... but also, as someone who uses his Beats Studio Buds/Studio 3's... is there even a point in getting these?? The Switch OLED also uses Bluetooth audio...... I'm def intrigued.. great review also btw...
Got this headset about 5 days ago, i’ve had connectivity issues with the 2.4 ghz smart switch, not wanting to connect to my computer or the smart switch dongle, anyone else having issues or is it just my product?
i was at first, i was connecting the dongle to the top of my pc case because there is a connection there and windows 10 wouldnt pick it up. but then i plugged it into the back of the pc and it worked.
Have you seen the reviews where the tester its flexing all the way arround the headset? its super durable, the people who say they are fragile are people who dont take care of their things.
For anyone who has the headset can you switch from ipad/iphone/android bluetooth to 2.4ghz on pc if the phones/ipad is in a zoom meeting, messenger call etc? Mine won’t switch until I leave the meeting or calls
@@CommanderPanda thanks, i noted that on my unit the power button wobbles around and if you shake the headset it will cause a rattling noise. Razer had this problem even with the 2021 version...
Hi, did you find headphones that can do this? I need my headphones to handle PS5 audio and Discord mobile voice chat simultaneously, so I'm on the same boat with you :P
@@Emili0ch3 hahahaha. so unlucky theur my friend. me. i was thinkin what to buy for a headset for a month. until i came up with this item. im searching everywhere. like youtube and google. the only thing i ended up with is RAZER BARRACUDA X and STEELSERIES ARCTIS 9. but 80USD more for the ARCTIS 9. so i ended up with RAZER :)
Hi Mat, great review! I have two questions for you - 1) Do I need a Razer app to use those headphones or app is required only to set up eq on smartphone? 2) Is noise cancellation that good? I mean - can you hear what you are saying while wearing those? I have Philips PH805BK and it is anoying me a bit that I almost can't hear what I am saying, but mine has ANC and leather-ish ear pads. Greetings!
Hi, How is the latency when on BT and on gaming mode? And does it retain the gaming mode settings when you use it on other devices without the Razer app? Thank you
Ewww, loads of ads from you, not made by youtube with bad positioning. You were just trying to put there most ads possible, no meather how does it looks.

The mic sounds differently depending on what you use to connect, having it wired makes the mic quality at its best

How does it compare to Corsair HS85?
Does this works with RTX voice?
For anyone who has the headset can you switch from ipad/iphone/android bluetooth to 2.4ghz on pc if the phones/ipad is in a zoom meeting, messenger call etc?
Mine won’t switch until I leave the meeting or calls
what phone do you use to connect the headphone using bluetooth?
iphone
Does this light up?
great review!! dropped a like!
Own them
MY MIC DONT WORK????
does have Active noise cancellation?
No
Does your unit have a rattling noise when you shake your left earcup?
I’ll test later and let you know 👍🏻
@@CommanderPanda thanks, i noted that on my unit the power button wobbles around and if you shake the headset it will cause a rattling noise.
Razer had this problem even with the 2021 version...
@@PM995 There is a very slight rattle on the left ear cup
@@CommanderPanda thanks
does anyone know if this headset allows discord on mobile for voice chat, then game audio on the switch?
it cannot connect simultanious bro. you have to switch it everytime. 1 device on bluetooth and 1 device on 2.4 ghz.
@@JiGzAgRiiSiiBo thanks
Hi, did you find headphones that can do this? I need my headphones to handle PS5 audio and Discord mobile voice chat simultaneously, so I'm on the same boat with you :P
@@ropoles the more expensive arctis headsets do. arctis nova 7 wireless
@@iwishihadgoodinternet7766 Oh wow didn't even know those exist, they are so new :D thanks, I'll give them a thorough look.
Can I connect this to a smart TV?
2.4 Ghz: Over USB, if your TV supports it.
BT: if your TV supports it.
It depends on the TV.
so many headsets out now, was looking at a few of the corsair models. these seem pretty good - not many Razer products under £100!
I can't believe I just purchased the 2021 version -_-
i thinks its also cheaper now right? like as far as i know 2021 version is 79usd as of today and 2022 version is 99usd.
@@JiGzAgRiiSiiBo Yeah but for 20 bucks more I would preffer the 2022 version with twice the battery
@@ghostedsuicide Do you have the link? I got mines on 75
@@Emili0ch3 hahahaha. so unlucky theur my friend. me. i was thinkin what to buy for a headset for a month. until i came up with this item. im searching everywhere. like youtube and google. the only thing i ended up with is RAZER BARRACUDA X and STEELSERIES ARCTIS 9. but 80USD more for the ARCTIS 9. so i ended up with RAZER :)
Hi Mat, great review! I have two questions for you - 1) Do I need a Razer app to use those headphones or app is required only to set up eq on smartphone? 2) Is noise cancellation that good? I mean - can you hear what you are saying while wearing those? I have Philips PH805BK and it is anoying me a bit that I almost can't hear what I am saying, but mine has ANC and leather-ish ear pads. Greetings!
1. EQ, 2. It blocks 60-70% external noise
If I remove the mic, am I still able to talk with the headset? or the mic has to be installed?
Every Razer product I've ever owned, broke. Razer's service did not fix any of them.
Hi,
How is the latency when on BT and on gaming mode?
And does it retain the gaming mode settings when you use it on other devices without the Razer app?
Thank you
Gamemode should force you to 2.4Ghz to minimize latency. I believe that's the point of it. Completely shutting off BT.
Ewww, loads of ads from you, not made by youtube with bad positioning. You were just trying to put there most ads possible, no meather how does it looks.
I felt triggered so I left a dislike to feel better.
