This was my very first experience with a Razer headset and I was enjoying it, until my friends invited to me a PS5 chat. Everything on my end sounds wonderful, their voices super clear and loud. However, my voice? I apparently sounded like I was put on speaker during a phone call. They understood what I was saying but the quality was way off.
I checked my PC for a firmware update and there wasn’t one. I then checked Discord on my PC to see if it was just the Playstation and same thing. That’s very unfortunate.
I was so excited for these, largely because of the convenience in the USB-C dongle itself.
If you’re in need of a headset solely for listening to game audio and/or music, then these will do the job just fine. If you need one to also chat with, look elsewhere.

I have been in the market for a new headset however it is always difficult to find comfortable ones with my glasses. I decided to try out Razer and have been very impressed so far with this headset! Right out of the unboxing I was very impressed how great the packaging material was and consideration was taken for the placements. The package wraps are so nice that I ended up saving a few of them to store the cord and dongles. It was nice to see right out of the box it was ready to plug n play. I use this headset for both PC and PS5 with the included dongles. The sound quality is very impressive! I use the Dolby Atmos for PC and was impressed with the sound emitting from the headset. The battery life was very impressive, it states 70 hours on the box however I always have the lights on so it runs around 50 hours. The reason I say it’s still impressive is that my old headset lasted for around 40 hours without any lights. The mic was crystal clear and my friends never had any problems listening to me. The biggest and most important was comfort and needless to say this was extremely comfortable even after 5 hours of constant play. As mentioned, I wear glasses and upon playing with this headset it never pushed my glasses inward or caused any discomfort. It rested great on my ears and head and I really like the adjustability. Overall, this was a very impressive headset and recommend trying this out for anyone who wears glasses.

The Razer Barracuda X Chroma is a fantastic gaming headset. The sound quality is clear and immersive, making games more enjoyable. It’s also very comfortable to wear for long periods, thanks to its lightweight design and soft ear cushions.
The Chroma RGB lighting adds a nice touch of style, and the customization options are great. The wireless connectivity is reliable, with no noticeable lag, and the battery life is impressive.
Overall, the Razer Barracuda X Chroma is a great investment for any gamer looking for a high-quality, comfortable, and stylish headset. Highly recommended!

Lets start off by saying if you don’t know Razer brand quality then your missing out. The Razer Barracuda X Chroma offers the same comfort and audio quality as its predecessor all with built in wireless capability. If you have never owned any kind of Razer brand, just know they are very well known for bringing you a good gaming experience all without breaking the bank.
So at first glance your going to get everything you’d expect to receive from your typical wireless gaming headset. You get the standard 3.5mm connection for your boom mic, USB-C port for wireless charging(or wired audio), volume wheel and mic mute switch. This is a very identical version from its predecessor given the fact that this flagship is now wireless. The ear cup designs are your typical memory foam design which does a awesome job of creating a tight seal in order to keep out noise pollution all while allowing body heat to be proper be distributed outwards. The top of the headband is also padded allowing for hours of gameplay all without feeling the pressure of wearing a headset. This headset is designed all to be played with just about all gaming platforms out there and the added bluetooth feature even means that you could link this up to your phone should you choose to. The headset will work with Spatial audio however keep in mind it will require you to download the app and pay for the service. The 7.1 channel does a very nice job at offering surround sound but there were times when its accuracy felt a little off. What do i mean by this? Simply put when playing games like CoD (Call of Duty) foot steps could be heard from what sounded like my left flank however as i would prepare to meet my would be predator long and behold they would come from my right flank. Something i noticed and am not exactly sure if that’s an issue on my end or with the headset but just something to take note of. The audio quality from games sounds amazing, and that’s putting it mildly. Games like Monster Hunter or mmo’s like Final Fantasy XiV sound awesome both with background music and direct gameplay sounds such as combat actions. There was no bleed through or signal loss at all while playing in wireless mode and wireless gameplay yielded me roughly about 15 hours of playtime before needing a charge.
Here’s what it comes down to. What makes this such a amazing headset is the quality you get based on its price point. Most headsets at this price point are mediocre and this is coming from someone who has always been on a budget and has tried to find that happy medium ground between price and audio quality. You get great comfort, long battery life, awesome mic and audio sounds and a wireless set up that can piggy back off just about anything via its built in Bluetooth. If you are in the market for a headset that offers good audio, chat and comfort all within a reasonable price, then this a must have headset.

I’ve had the original Razer Barracuda X for a few years and have been impressed with its comfort, weight, durability, and sound quality especially considering the price point it released at. The new Barracuda X Chroma takes the improvements of the second generation model that came out in 2022 and refines everything, creating an overall great product that seems more reliable with the same light weight and good sound. And they added RGB, because why not!
#Unboxing and first impressions#
Out of the box, the Razer Barracuda X Chroma comes with a simple cloth bag to hold the headset, the detachable microphone, a nice feeling braided 60W USB-C cable, a USB-A to USB-C adapter, and the USB-C dongle for PC. It does come with the classic Razer stickers, of course. I was a little surprised that the Barracuda X Chroma no longer comes with an aux cable, but I suppose with the addition of regular bluetooth this is less necessary now.
#Using the headset#
The headset worked immediately upon connecting the dongle for my work laptop, personal laptop (a Windows on ARM laptop), and gaming desktop. While Synapse adds some additional control (including for the RGB lighting) the headset works fine without it so it’s nice for jumping on work calls in a pinch.
Sound quality seemed to be roughly the same as with my 2021 model of the Barracuda X. I’d consider the sound to be clean and usable for midrange and highs but for music the bass is lacking. Not something I noticed in games. The microphone sounds very clear and it comes with a nice foam cover for pop reduction. I also like that the mic has a pretty long arm that’s flexible in all directions, giving you the ability to place it wherever sounds best. Also, since the mic is detachable you can completely remove it and store it out of the way if you are gaming on mobile or using a different mic.
With Synapse 4/Chroma Studio you gain some additional customizability for the Barracuda X Chroma. You can customize the EQ, set sleep settings for battery life, and add the RGB lights to your gaming setup. I have several other razer chroma peripherals so it was nice to just add the Barracuda X Chroma to my desk setup and sync the effects to what my mouse pad and keyboard are doing.
Razer also includes their 7.1 Surround software for free with the Barracuda X Chroma and I really like the effects this adds. For games that don’t support Atmos or DTS:X the Razer Surround is great. You can also pay to upgrade it to THX surround, and I think this is worth the money for PC gamers.
#Final thoughts#
The Barracuda X Chroma takes almost all of the great features of the original Barracuda X and improves them, while adding RGB lighting. For a bit higher price than the original, you get the same comfort, improved flexibility with connecting to other devices, and some pretty cool RGB effects that can be synced with other Razer Chroma gear. This is a worthy upgrade from the previous models and a good headset even for gamers that aren’t necessarily targeting the budget end of the spectrum.

Razer delivers a very nice looking RGB headset, with (removable) rotating (tilt/swivel) cloth ear cups that feel really good and sound really good.
The strength or build quality of this headset is equally as good, I don’t feel like it would break if I move things around quickly or oddly or if I happen to toss it on my desk during a rage quit, the headset seems to be just fine lol 😉
pros
Boasts 70 Hours of battery life (70hrs w/RGB off, 30 hrs w/RGB on)
The Chroma RGB lighting looks great
Provides a clear sounding microphone on the 2.4 wireless adapter
Allows a choice between Bluetooth or wifi connection, or use both; letting you flip between two devices (think computer/phone calls)
Razers pc software controls lighting effects, as well as mic and audio allowing for fine tuning
This headset weighs in at a little over a 1/2 pound (285 grams)
included in box:
– usb a to c adapter
usb-c charging cable (this is a solid cable included, probably some of the nicest I’ve seen w/things lately)
– removable flexible mic w/removable filter
Overall at the end of the day this is a headset for gaming, for me I feel it delivers great audio and people can hear me trash talk or cry softly with crystal clear audio from the mic. I feel like I can detect where sounds are coming from easily during FPS games which is really helpful. Watching a movie with these on also sounded really decent, though I must admit these will 98% of the time be used for gaming.
If you are looking for a good headset with great RGB lighting and a good audio profile at a decent price; I would give these a shot in a heartbeat.

I love this headset. Very comfortable and simple and the RGB lights on it make it even better!

Got these to let my daughter use when she is gaming on her laptop so she can not only hear better but also chat with her friends. I first had to test them out on my gaming PC and make sure they were good enough though. They charged quickly and so far after using them the last week they seem to hold a fairly good charge through multiple hours of gaming. The audio comes across crisp and clean not a lot of bass while gaming though.
I was able to quickly connect them using the included dongle and also via Bluetooth to my PC. One thing I noticed when watching movies or playing games when connected via Bluetooth is it seems to click or pull every so many seconds which tends to be a little annoying. When connected to the dongle I do not notice this clicking or disconnecting of the audio.
Pros
– Comfortable to wear for long hours
– Fairly good job of cancelling outside noise
– Charge quickly and have good battery life
– Comes with pouch to keep them in
Cons
– Feel a bit cheap compared to my other Astro or Turtle Beach headsets
– Razer axiom software didn’t immediately recognize them and still haven’t gotten it to see them to synch up to my keyboard and speaker lights
– Removable microphone that just plugs in to the 3.5mm port on the headset
– Sound quality is good but not great and didn’t feel like it was as immersive as my other gaming headsets
Overall they are a nice budget friendly pair of gaming headphones and if you like the Razer line of gaming peripherals you will probably be happy with them.
