Razer Barracuda Wireless Gaming & Mobile Headset (PC, Playstation, Switch, Android, iOS): 2.4GHz Wireless + Bluetooth - Integrated Noise-Cancelling Mic - 50mm Drivers - 40 Hr Battery - Mercury White

Can't imagine myself without the freedom and comfort this headset gives. Sturdy but not heavy, doesn't pinch my ears while wearing over glasses or a mask, incredible quality of sound, long-lasting battery (mine goes three days without charging). Looks pretty. What more can you need? Better than my Logitech, Sony, Marshalls, and JBL.

These headphones are good looking, high quality, and overall great for the casual listener. I've had them for about a few years now, and they still look and work like brand new. Razer is a good brand for computer accessories like this, but I understand they are not *the* best objectively. The audio quality isn't that bass-y, so if you want bass or you are an audiophile then I'd look elsewhere. Also, they are comfortable but not comfortable enough to wear for hours on end. As someone who uses headphones every now and then, they work just fine and have lasted me a long time. Overall, worth the purchase if you're not a complete audiophile.

Bought this pair after my last headset was falling apart. Love how long the charge lasts, easy to connect and the quality is great. I don't use the THX sound because I think it sounds better without using it. Very comfortable and sleek looking.

My first disclaimer is that I got these on sale for $80. At that price point I'm very happy with my purchase, and going on almost a year now I'm still happy with them. I'll go down into the pros and cons of the Razer Barracuda below. Pros: - Really decent audio quality. Maybe not up to snuff as an audiophile's choice, but for a combination gaming-music pair of headphones it's kinda hard to beat. Couldn't tell you for certain what the sound signature of these headphones are for certain, but it feels as though they have a mild "pop headphone" listening experience, with a tad more emphasis on the lows than the highs. Granted, these aren't very bass heavy, but they don't sound so "flat" if you will. For some people the highs might be a *little* fatiguing as they can be a little grainy sometimes, so depending on the genre or track I might use some EQ to bring the highs down just a smidgen. - Amongst the most comfortable headphones I've worn. I have a bigger head, complete with big hair mind you, and I often have the issue of headphones clamping down too hard on my head, but these? I can wear these all day with no problem. The earpads go over my ears (as they should) and are plush enough to be worn without inducing an earache. They might get warm and make your ears sweat if the temperature starts to rise, but if you use these in an AC cooled room it's hardly a concern at all. - The battery life! I only have to charge these every couple of days or so, and that's with extended listening every single day. If you're upgrading from cheaper headphones I don't think you'll be disappointed with the battery life at all. - Passive noise cancelling. Sure, don't expect to block out the clatter of nearby dishes, loud cars, or bassy booms, but I should mention that when I have these on my partner has to text me from across the room to catch my attention because they can block out human voice pretty well. It blocks out sound to a decent extent, being closed ear headphones, and so long as you don't go in expecting ANC (because you shouldn't) then the muffling it will do to the world around you will be a nice bonus to your gaming and music listening. Mixed: - THX Spatial Audio... It's... interesting? Perhaps for gaming it might be helpful, but as more of a music listener than a gamer, I can guarantee you want to keep this off. It feels like it demolishes the audio quality of some songs, so I never have it on period. Maybe not every person will see it thag way, and some might prefer the weird simulated, artificial soundstage that THX Spatial audio can grant. - The build. These headphones look wonderful, and I suppose they feel good all things considering. However, I can't help but feel there's a missing satisfaction of pretty and distinct metal bits on the headphones. It's more a gripe than anything, but I suppose they don't look like the $180 pair of headphones they're supposed to be to me personally. A certain extra bit of flare would have been nice as they're quite plain and no frills. Again, this might not matter one bit to you. - The size. These are decently big headphones mind you. This isn't a problem for me in particular but if you want a pair of headphones you can feel confident taking with you out and about, these won't be for you. The ears do fold flat, but I would have rathered fixed ears personally since they're exclusively for at-home use in my situation. I can't see there being much use for the folding ears unless you intend to put them in a drawer or something if you're not using them. Cons: - The mic quality. The mic is... not bad...? But not good. Why isn't this in Mixed? Well, they're gaming headphones. The integrated "invisible" beam mics are convenient for the sake of not having a boom mic to worry about, but mic quality *noticeably suffers.* Your mates will be able to understand you most certainly, but I might imagine it's not gonna be the as clear as you might want. If mic quality is a very important part of the deal to you, then I'd suggest to look elsewhere. - The wireless connection. These use a little USB-C dongle to wirelessly connect your gaming peripheral of choice to these nice headphones on your head. The only problem is that this connection can end up being kinda dodgy, despite being right next to the dongle, I've found that getting up out of my chair and taking a few steps away can sometimes cause my music to go into full static for a second. It isn't horrible, but it just feels like if they have a dedicated dongle to connect to the computer and it doesn't really let you enjoy the wireless experience as much as you might be able to, then why not just use them wired instead? (Bear in mind these do come with a nice audio cable if you want to use them wired.) In conclusion I really like these headphones! In hindsight would I have gone with a different pair? Maybe, maybe not. Admittedly the only thing that enticed me was them being on sale. The funny thing is I only game very casually now and so this are almost exclusively music headphones to me and I'm quite happy with them. I'll make the shift to audiophile headphones in the future, but honestly, these are very much acceptable to handle all sorts of listening experiences. For gaming, music, movies, etc., it can really do it all. As for recommending this headset... If you're a casual gamer and/or just interested in the jack-of-all trades nature of this headset, then I say you should give it a shot, though I'd still say picking them up on sale is much preferred. In the end I think it's certainly worth mentioning that I bought them for gaming and I just wound up using them for music instead. A somewhat backwards but pleasant surprise haha. For the hardcore gamer looking for the perfect pair of gaming headphones? I think there's better gaming headsets out there at this price range surely. Unless this headset is on a *great sale* (50%+ off) and you've already got some sort of external mic to compensate for the lackluster beam mic quality I'd say it might still be worth a shot. Otherwise, don't bother and look elsewhere for a better dedicated pair of gaming headphones.

I have had these for about a year so here is a completely honest review from a guy that does not care a ton about sound quality, but just wanted a good bang for your buck. I purchased these for $75 in Feb 2023. The previous headphones I had were wired HyperX Cloud 2. I bought this headset because I wanted an all wireless and white set up. A year later, this is what I deal with on a semi-regular basis. - Constant disconnects, whenever I play a game, sometimes the headphones drop connection, and I have to turn the headset off and then power it back on. - Volume sticks, sometimes if I have them on for a while, the headset will be stuck at a constant volume regardless of what the volume is on the pc, even if it is muted. - Reinsert wireless adapter, if you turn your computer off every night and back on the next morning, you will likely have to crawl under your desk and disconnect and reconnect the USBC wireless adapter. This defeats the whole purpose of a wireless set up. - Mic bad quality, the mic is horrible quality, I didn't super care about mic quality, but sometimes when speaking my friends can't understand what I'm saying, it just sounds like a garbled robotic mess. - Sound quality is decent, when the headphones are working, the sound quality is excellent. The problem is random times it seems that certain pitches blow out the speakers and you hear the common cackling of the speakers. I really wanted to like these headphones, I have had many positive experiences with Razer keyboards, but I just can't in my good conscience recommend this headset. I personally would recommend you choose another product at this price point.
