Yo! Sound designer here. Love the video, super helpful. If you plan on doing other videos like this, I’d recommend your mic check add plosives to the test (hard Ps Ss Ts and Ks). Those sounds tend to pierce through lower quality mics and are my line to determine good vs bad mics. I’d also recommend gain matching your mics before testing (just passing the yellow bar at loudest) for consistency and to avoid clipping. I hope to see more of your videos soon! Definitely using this to determine my next gaming headset. Thank you
I hope you grow man legit the information and the clarity and organization you have on this video is amazing. Keep up the good work this video is well done 👍🏻
I think the point of the Barracuda non-Xs is the user definitely has a separate microphone at this price point. If you are on a budget then the mic on the Barracuda X is a must-have, but in a $159 range, you must have a pretty slick setup (a separate microphone) if you can afford this kind of headphones.
Ya. I just bought a Barracuda non-x for myself and my brother for Christmas. I have an actual quality mic I used on a podcast a few years ago and my bro got a decent one from a friend recently. If he wants better mic quality he can just switch to the dedicated mic.
@@joepiazza3756I mean apart from the mic I believe the X’s also have more battery autonomy. Even tho the non X are a bit more comfy on the top part, and prob a bit more durable, but they are also heavier The sound quality is also a bit better but I mean for a difference of, right now, almost the double I don’t think it’s worth to buy the non X over the X
There is a Blackshark Hyperspeed now that seemingly has all the same tech specs as the 2023 V2 Pro. Only difference i could see was a removable mic, on board profiles of some sort and slightly different materials for a massive $70 less.
Thanks, dude, I'm about to buy the Kraken V3 Hypersense mainly for work. I have kids screaming around me, and I believe their mic could decrease the background noise but still keep my voice ok without considerable distortion.
This is a good review. I've suddenly found myself needing to buy a second headphones for gaming. Went online to look (traveling abroad, so not using Amazon) and found so many choices on the Razer's. Needed help determining what Razer I have back home and what I can get now.
This was so helpful, great and entertaining. It helped me make a decision about which headset was right for me. I'm subscribing! Keep up the good work.
why is it a deal breaker tho? I have the v2 x for like 4 years now and live in a hot country yet its still perfectly comfortable and the build quality is fine, currently thinking of upgrading to a v2 or barracuda x.
Hello, I really impressed by how you review the headset, but i still have question about the headset. I want to ask about the audio quality of Razer Barracuda X and Barracuda, is it the difference in audio quality is like a night and day or is it just a small difference? I know this is already an old videos but i really hope you will reply this because I was wondering and wanted to buy a new headset. I really enjoyed your review videos. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The one problem I have with my Blackshark is the rails that allow the ear cups to slide for adjustment become very loose over time, this makes the cups slide to the maximum length possible causing an uncomfortable fit.
Thank you for this. I was thinking about upgrading my barracuda x after 2 years but this is the best headset for me. After 2 years battery is still good, surround sound for fps is great, mic is great, just overall awesome. It’s cheap too!
Excellent video! Just want to a that if you are interested in purchasing the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro there might be a version that does not have USB-C and Bluetooth.
I know this video is closer to a year old than it is current... but, I struggle to understand why Razer isn't tapping into two popular markets right now. They're not making a high end wired headset with open back to compete with offerings from Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, AudioTechnica or Corsair's Virtuoso Pro. This seems to the direction that a lot of people are going these days. I'm also surprised that Razer hasn't released a direct competitor to the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless.
i really enjoyed this video this made me make a decsion on which headset to get Barracuda X. and i agreed with you for the top 3 actually. but decided on the X since you said it's most comfortable and lightweight. That's what I look for hte most with headsets because i go 4-6 hours of gaming often and need to be comfortable. and is a good all-around with sound quality. i'm not a huge fan of bass so that's perfect for me. And o often use headphones while listening to music on my pc while gaming and it comes in pink which i love. and Detachable mic which i also like LOL. So that's the one I'm going for. 40-60 hours of life sounds good to me. don't need haptics. The mic sounds great to me so overall I'm going for that. Thanks for doing this video helped me a lot.
A very important thing that you didn't mention with the Baracuda X is that they aren't supported by Synapse and 2023 Model isn't supported by razer audio either So if you by them because you want to control everytging via one software, to bad. Also the 2023 apparently have a lot of technical issues
The only headset I’ve ever liked, has been the Razer Kraken 7.1 V2, because you can actually turn the surround sound off. No hearing footsteps in one part of my ear, makes me sick. I’ve bought so many over the years on eBay, and I’m scared eventually they’ll all be gone lol. Do any of the new ones allow you to this ? I feel like I’m owing my mind lol
I've been thinkng of upgrade my barracuda x. Which should I get barracuda or v2 pro wireless 2023. Also which has better audio in both for game and music
Hi! Im about the purchase this one but I got concern after watched review videos as there are several technical problem like turn off suddenly or RGB not working. Is this issue still persist? or Razer updated somehow? I would appriciate any comments, thanks!
@@semihyolcu6572 I didn’t have any problems with mine but I took them back today and exchanged them for the Steel Series Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset. I can use it wirelessly on the Xbox Series X and my PC!
I got the razer power up bundle a few years ago when I first started to get into computers it comes with a sort of in-between spec of the of the kraken v3x and the kraken v3 it has the full leather cups but the same drivers as the v3x it also has no rgb honestly not a bad deal when you consider I got it for about $80 and it also had a keyboard and a decent mouse the only thing I haven't upgraded over the years is the headset hence why I'm watching this video
Also I just wanna let everyone know, the only razer products I ever bought was the 2 limited time pewdiepie headsets they had. The pewdiepie kraken and the pewdiepie Nari ultimate. Thankfully the kraken v3 set of his still holds up to this day. The microphone is crap for some reason but it is sturdy and I still love it. As for the nari ultimate, I am heartbroken. I loved everything about that headset. But the fault in lies with razer as a company. They for 1 had gotten rid of the promotional headsets after only a year or 2 of my buying them. I know this because the USB connector on them broke. Now you would think they could just send me a replacement USB connector. And you'd be fucking wrong. The only thing they could offer me was a replacement of their NORMAL, non promotional, Nari ultimate headset. I hate how it looks now, and I'm extremely salty about the whole damn situation. Not only that but when I got the new headset I was having connection issues with the USB connector on that headset aswell. I'm very disappointed in razer as a company as a whole. HOWEVER, THE ONLY THING I CAN PRAISE THEM FOR IS THE METAL BUILD ON THE KRAKEN SETS. The metal frame really held up the durability end of the headsets. Now the material on the top is shot and the pewdiepie design is peeling off it. However they are still special to me and they are always my go to when I need a good headset. The leather ear cuffs suck btw. The leather cuffs don't hold up and the leather speckles off on ur face and hair over time.
hey great review i love all your reviews and this one was amazing but i was thinking of getting the razer kraken kitty v2 pro and didn't see it in the line up to which of the ones you did review does it compare?
My headband on a set of razer kraken headsets snapped in 2 when I accidentally sat on them. I ended up getting sennheiser gsp 500s and the sound quality was leagues better than the razer for about the same price I paid, especially for music. For gaming I'm more into sim racing than shooters and the engine noise was on a whole new level on the sennheisers. That said, I can't really vouch for their first person shooter performance because it's really not my thing.With them going for under $70 atm, it's hard to justify getting something else budget right now when they're superior in every way to the kraken other than you kind of look like a knob wearing them. 😝
To be honest razer going to be first company to have ANC and a beast mic by merging the barracuda pro and blackshark 2023. I will wait patiently till then.
I Had in the past the regular blackshark v2 for console and i still have the soundcard. Should i buy again the blackshark v2 kr the barracuda x and use them with the soundcard on my console?
Hi there excellent review specially the mic comparison is awesome!. I have a question you say the Kaira is best for consoles i m correct; So for the other models the review is only for how they sounds to pc? I ask that because i looking for Black shark v2 for my ps5 i playing only online multiplayer and warzone . Any suggestions will be awesome thank you!❤
I find that the Krakens and Kairas give you a certain sense of 'space' if you are running around and you want to hear footsteps go Kraken. if you want a good sense of directional attacks in vehicles, Kaira. If you want an MMO or movies BS, if you don't have the budget to go BS, get the Cuda, at least you can use them for work as well :)
From what I’ve researched it is the Sceptre Curved 32" FHD 1080p Gaming Monitor Up to 240Hz 1ms 99% sRGB AMD FreeSync Premium Build-in Speakers, HDMI x3 Displayport Machine Black (C325B-FWD240)
Honestly, this guy's is too underrated and I have been enjoying him since the kb reviews. Give him some love and support him.
Thank you!!!

This was epic. Honestly didn’t know about the hypersense. Really want to give that a shot.
Right as I was thinking the mic tests were great but it’d be great to hear them back to back…Boom, the man delivers. Great work.
This really helped me to decide. Thnx for the video.
What did you pick?
Your big effort in these long as s reviewd aren't unnoticed. Thank u sir! 👍👍

the Kraken X is a solid starter headset and the fact its super light weight u can wear it for legit 10 plus hours ( covid certified)
This was so helpful, great and entertaining. It helped me make a decision about which headset was right for me. I'm subscribing! Keep up the good work.
what a ton of info you went through. Thanks for walking all that info for us. Very helpful.
Best video I’ve watched for this category hands down
The blacksharks are so good, but the deal breaker is those helicopter style mounts. Don't know what i should do
why is it a deal breaker tho? I have the v2 x for like 4 years now and live in a hot country yet its still perfectly comfortable and the build quality is fine, currently thinking of upgrading to a v2 or barracuda x.
Fantastic video! Personally, I own the Blackshark v2 pro and the Kaira pro (for Xbox) and your reviews on them were spot on!
Hey man, been wanting to get the v2 pros for my Xbox but he didn’t explicitly mention that they’re compatible, would the dongle work for them ?
The v2 pro is terrible compared to v2 pro 2023

Kraken OG having the best Mic on the krakens is nutz
Just found your channel the other day. You make good stuff man. Keep it up!
Think I'm missing something. Nothing about the Kraken Ultimate? or the Nari Ultimate?
The BlackSharks are so great but I couldn't fix the constant audio drop out on wireless between 3 different devices.
Thank you for this. I was thinking about upgrading my barracuda x after 2 years but this is the best headset for me. After 2 years battery is still good, surround sound for fps is great, mic is great, just overall awesome. It’s cheap too!
you cant really say "EVERY" Razer headset. i am using a razer headset you missed. the Razer nari ultimate
Thanks a lot, it helped me on choosing the best one for me
very helpful coming from a streamer who is just starting out
Hope it goes well!
Razer Kraken Tournament in my opinion has one of the best sound quality and mic, for gaming headsets!
budget .blackshark v2x
value .barracuda x
console value .caira hyperspeed
audio quality (dc) .kraken v3 hypersens
THANK U FOR CHOOSING RAZER BARRACUDA X !!!
Thanks for the review. I need to get another wireless headset and in a good price range with a good mic. I think im try the barracuda x
Excellent video! Just want to a that if you are interested in purchasing the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro there might be a version that does not have USB-C and Bluetooth.
In other words, there is a 2020 edition and there is a 2023 edition.

How's pulling the trigger for the Barracuda X?
Could you in theory use a USB-A adapter to a 3.5mm adapter for Xbox? Or will that sacrifice sound/mic quality?
A very important thing that you didn't mention with the Baracuda X is that they aren't supported by Synapse and 2023 Model isn't supported by razer audio either
So if you by them because you want to control everytging via one software, to bad. Also the 2023 apparently have a lot of technical issues
Which one better btw Kaira Hyperspeed vs Barracuda X for PS5 .
Thanks.

Which one is the most durable kuz my Kraken v3 X snapped on me in 2 places.
Well yeah they snapped its the x variant
I play fps and hypersense is amazing specially battlefield , respect
Bruh this one video made me choose a headset easily rather then watching hundreds of them 🗿

Great video, I've owned a pair of og krakens. For 2 years. And I have been looking for a new headset. I'm thinking blackshark v2. 👍

Black shark v2 pro 2023

best video thanks
getting blackshark v2 x for 40$ at best buy jesus christ what a sale
The durability on the kairo pro is beyond garbage. Haptics died in 2 weeks. The battery life on bluetooth/2.4 is insanely low.
So what one should i get budget $100
he clearly said barracuda x
Ugh if the barracuda pro had a good mic I'd pay 350. Such a fumble.
Gone ballistic kind of reviews. Over the top
Pretty sure you forgot to mention blackshark v2 pro (2023) and hyperspeed
But still well done with the vid man pretty honest and solid keep it up
why no Nari series?
Thank you for this~!
Hi there excellent review specially the mic comparison is awesome!.
I have a question you say the Kaira is best for consoles i m correct;
So for the other models the review is only for how they sounds to pc?
I ask that because i looking for Black shark v2 for my ps5 i playing only online multiplayer and warzone .
Any suggestions will be awesome thank you!❤
I find that the Krakens and Kairas give you a certain sense of 'space' if you are running around and you want to hear footsteps go Kraken. if you want a good sense of directional attacks in vehicles, Kaira. If you want an MMO or movies BS, if you don't have the budget to go BS, get the Cuda, at least you can use them for work as well :)
