Un casque parfait pour nous gamers. Le casque léger avec une très bonne connectivité que ça soit en 2.4 Hz ou en bluetooth, le passage entre les deux modes est très facile et permet de le connecter à son PC comme à son téléphone. Le son est de très bonne qualité, le micro amovible est parfait. Le design sobre sans RGB fait de ce casque un excellent casque pour son pc comme pour aller dans la rue sans se faire remarquer. Seul bémol, le son THX n’est disponible qu’après un abonnement.

Tengo unos cuantos headset en mi casa. Y sinceramente andaba buscando algo para reemplazar uno de los setups que venía usando (AKG K701s + ModMic Wireless). Y básicamente si lo comparo con este setup, he pasado de tener sonido Hi-Fi con cables, a tener sonido de calidad buena sin ningún cableado.
Ventajas:
1) 2.4Ghz Wireless (latencia baja, tipo 15ms. porque los Bluetooth tienen mucha latencia salvo que la calidad se degrade muchísimo y se escuche todo “feo” ) es prácticamente como usar cable.
2) Micrófono ajustable y a 2 o 3 cm de distancia de la boca. Puedes tener ruido de fondo pero si estás hablando te siguen escuchando bastante claro ya que el micrófono se encuentra cerca. Además es desmontable.
3) Como 40 o 50 horas de batería (y se apagan solos si no se están usando por un tiempo. Se puede cambiar el tiempo de apagado por inactividad, yo le he puesto 5 minutos).
4) Muy livianos y cómodos (para lo que son).
5) Buena calidad música. 8/10. (10/10 sería algo Hi-Fi con cable, amplificador, open-back, etc.).
6) No parecen ser muy cerrados. (prácticamente no incrementan la percepción de uno en escuchar su propia respiración) y esto es muy bueno.
7) Para ser cascos Gamer son bastantes discretos. Se pueden comparar con unos Bose o Sony negros de tamaño similar.
Desventajas:
– La única desventaja es que para mi siguen siendo mas grandes de lo que andaba buscando, me hubiesen gustado unos headset que tengan el tamaño de los Jabra Elite 75, pero que tengan la baja latencia (en duplex) y calidad de estos Razer.
Uso: Interior solamente; Música, Microsoft Teams, Gaming, Discord.
Tip adicional: descargar el app “Razer Audio” en el movil y ajustar el EQ para que suenen mejor. Yo estoy usando este ajuste de “GadgetryTech” y suenan muy bien:
This is the 2022 model with Bluetooth function added and nothing much compared to previous gen. which is 8k. Amazon’s retail is 13k however it’s the same 2022 model is available on offline market for 10k. Hope this helps someone.

**Title: Impressive Performance, Few Quirks**
I recently purchased the Razer Barracuda X 2022 and have been thoroughly impressed with its performance and versatility. This headset offers a range of features that cater to various user needs, making it a worthy consideration for gamers and casual users alike.
**Pros:** – **Lightweight and Minimalist Design:** The Barracuda X is incredibly light and has a sleek, minimalist design that doesn’t compromise on comfort. – **Versatile Connectivity:** I love the flexibility of using it via Bluetooth, 2.4GHz dongle, or wired connection, catering to different devices and situations. – **Exceptional Battery Life:** The battery life is outstanding, lasting a month with regular 2-hour use and charging swiftly within 3 hours. Plus, the ability to use it while charging is a significant convenience. – **Useful Accessories:** The included accessories are a thoughtful addition, enhancing the overall user experience. – **Immersive 7.1 Surround Sound:** The 7.1 surround sound feature provides a crisp and immersive audio experience, enhancing gaming and multimedia enjoyment. – **Smart Power Management:** The automatic power-off feature after 10 minutes of inactivity is a great battery-saving addition, ensuring extended usage between charges.
**Cons:** – **Pricing Concerns:** The headset might seem a bit pricey if not purchased at a discounted price. – **Microphone Quality:** While functional, the microphone’s performance could be improved for clearer voice capture. – **Lack of Pouch:** A pouch for storage would have been a nice addition to protect the headset from scratches and minor damages. – **Scratch-Prone Surface:** The matte black finish is prone to scratches, necessitating careful handling to maintain its appearance. – **Wired Connectivity Limitation:** The headset’s wired connectivity relies on a 3.5mm jack, which might be inconvenient for users preferring USB Type-C connections. – **Complex 7.1 Surround Activation:** Setting up the 7.1 surround sound can be a bit cumbersome, requiring additional steps like Having to make a Razer ID, registering your headphones using serial number and then you get a redeem code that you the. use to open the 7.1 surround sound App On PC.
In summary, the Razer Barracuda X 2022 delivers impressive performance, especially considering its lightweight design, versatile connectivity options, and excellent battery life. While it has its quirks, such as the microphone quality and complex 7.1 surround setup, it offers a compelling audio experience for users willing to overlook these minor drawbacks. With careful handling, this headset proves to be a valuable addition to any gamer or multimedia enthusiast’s arsenal.

Nach ein paar Monaten Gebrauch kann ich sagen dieses Headset ist, insbesondere für den Preis, extrem gut. Benutze es als normale Kopfhörer für den Alltag aber auch für Gaming. Der sound ist wirklich gut und selbst ohne noise canceling hört man fast nichts von der Außenwelt. Wie immer bei Razer etwas schwacher Bass aber das kann man ja problemlos per equalizer beheben. Auch an Lautstärke kann dieses headset einiges. Es hat vom gerät getrennte Lautstärke Einstellungen. Mit handy auf voller Lautstärke und Kopfhörer auf circa 1/3 kriegt man eine angenehme Lautstärke. Mikrofon klingt auch gut (wurde mir zumindest so mitgeteilt). Und das beste, die Akkulaufzeit. Vor 1 1/2 Monaten ein mal voll geladen und seitdem durchschnittlich eine Stunde täglich im Gebrauch und ich musste sie immernoch nicht wieder aufladen. Bin momentan bei 30% Akku noch.
Ein kleines Problem gibt es leider, die Verbindung ist ab und zu mal etwas instabil. Tritt aber nur an einem spezifischen Ort auf, dementsprechend könnte es auch daran liegen

If you are planning to buy for PS5 or Xbox this review is for you. I bought this and checked with my PS5 and the audio is too low for the volume. I’ve set max in Barracuda and in the console it was 100% and many of them would think it’d blow the ear drum but it doesn’t. It feels like the vol is set at 50-60%. Also tried with the Razer audio app, it didn’t improve much when it comes to wireless connectivity. Even when I connected with 3.5mm, the vol was increased a bit where I have to reduce the console volume to 90-95%. I agree it’s improved but it’s not the max volume that it should have been. Coming to the Bluetooth part, it works well and with the volume of 35-40% (except OnePlus where I’ve to keep 75-80% for normal use. Not sure who is fault here OnePlus or Razer whereas other Bluetooth headphones works properly) was sufficient for normal indoors and increasing it above 85-90% causes fatigue. I expect the same or at least not too much extreme lime fatigue in the console which is via Wireless connectivity. Looks like wireless drivers are poor compared to Bluetooth. Do not buy this if you’re planning to get for multiplatform. If you’re a lover of this brand, get a wired headset for your console and luckily if you’ve a 3.5mm for your phone, it suits well.

The headphone is fantastic. Works really well with the free 7.1 surround sound software from Razer. At 1st you might think the volume is low but if you connect the 7.1 surround software and change the sound device to 7.1 then 50% volume would be enough. I use 7.1 for music & movies & the typical profile for games as FPS footsteps are messed up on 7.1 What’s the but about? I got a defective extender cable and I figured that out through a day of testing but when I contacted Amazon & Razer after 7 days for RMA they said to contact each other & that loop never ended. Razer should improve its RMA in India. Now I have only one option which is to connect the dongle to the PC directly. If the headphone is not defective on delivery then it’s really good value for money for 9k. Hope it was helpful.

Articulo con buena calidad de audio, bien empacado y con todos los cables que necesites para conectar. La carga de este dispositivo es increíble, 3 días de uso y sigue al 50%.
La cuerina que tiene en la parte de arriba de las diademas se despega con facilidad, por lo que hay que pegarlo luego.

Been using these for a month now.
Pros: 1) very comfortable, even for extended prolonged use. Not heavy on the head/neck. No pressure on the ears.. 2) good battery life. It helps to have a headset that you don’t have to charge daily. It also turns itself off to save battery in case not paired which is a standard function but helps to prolong already long battery time. 3) quality of accessories and cables received is quite good. 4) decent sound quality and noise cancelling mic.. Although not 100% like a Jabra but the mic does a decent job of ensuring my voice is highlighted against background noise.
Cons: 1) takes too long to full charge. I have to keep it overnight sometimes. When battery is low, it keeps interrupting with ‘low battery please charge’ message repeatedly even when I’m on a call. 2) dual connectivity was my main reason to purchase this.. I wanted a headset to take office calls from both my Laptop via dongle and also via Bluetooth on my cell, having a function to seamlessly switch back & forth between 2 devices. Problem faced is that when connected to laptop via dongle on teams/zoom call, if I get a voice call on cell which I answer by bluetooth, the headset switches to call on cell correctly instead of having both audios coming in.. However after my cell call is done, headset does not automatically pair back to the laptop via dongle.. I have to restart the headset to repair with laptop and resume Teams/zoom call. This is a big issue that needs fixing..
