I live in these headphones
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging was amazing and beautiful.The instructions are clear and concise.
Overall headphones fit and wear beautifully.
The Razer Barracuda X has a unique version of connectivity. It does not use Bluetooth. It uses a USB C dongle that instantly connects.
I can switch that between my Galaxy, my PS4, my switch and my PC - just by moving the dongle to the new device.
(On the PC I also have to change the sound output in settings).
If I want to use it on my iPod I Can use the 3.5mm analog cable in wired mode.
The headphones controls are easy to understand and use- for volume and answering calls.
The surround sound is excellent, allowing me to get more kills in FPS matches
I use my headphones for music listening as well, and enjoy marathon Spotify sessions with excellent clarity and dynamic sound response.
The Bass is clear and the highs are solid.
The mic is awesome. It only picks me up, which is great.
My little sister is always busting in my room trying to say hello to my team or crack a joke about me getting sniped - They cant hear it.
They can hear me however- and that makes for better matches and more wins.

Great for gamers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Razer Barracuda X Wireless Gaming Headset a few weeks ago and the quality is awesome. My husband is an avid gamer and has tons of gaming accessories, he loves the quality of the Razer headphones. They are lightweight , comfortable and compatible with different video game platforms. The set up is very easy and gamer friendly. He loves Razer products.

Love these headphones!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always love Razer products so it’s no surprise how much I like these! Everything you need is in the box! Charger, mic, Bluetooth adapter and usb-c adapter, so no need to worry if they will connect to your device! This completely eliminates the issue of having to go back to the store to make your product work which is super annoying. I’m really happy with the sound quality of these headphones as well. The lay nice and flat like, which I think is a great design feature. Additionally, they are metal inside, (I included a pic) so these are very sturdy, and built to last, so you likely won’t need new headphones for a long time! These deserve 10 stars! I noticed their was a review left saying that you can’t see which side the mic works on, but you can! It’s labeled on the mic with a little symbol!

Nice sturdy headset
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gaming headset is very well made. My son has had many sets in the past and seems to have issues with longevity of them.
He's used them several weeks and they are sturdy enough to withstand his tossing around.
They fit well and feel good and comfortable on his head. The sound quality of both the speakers inside as well as the microphone is excellent.
Was easy to connect and wifi is clear.
They aren't however wonderful at noise cancellation but I'm not sure they are supposed to be and that doesn't cause issues at all.
He has already told his gamer friends all about them as well as me that he loves them very much... SO that is a WIN!!!
Thanks for a great product that does exactly as it is supposed to!

Good sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound and response time is very good…they fit great for both a tween and adult. The sound response is ideal for all games..the set up and connect is super easy especially for a tween who knows how’s to play games. They are also very comfortable to the ear area.

Surprisingly (!!!) good multi-purpose headset.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When it comes to Razer headphones, I can't say I've ever been a big fanboy. For a variety of comfort, sound, and sometimes even software support difficulties, I've tried and passed on several wired/wireless incarnations of the Kraken, Nari, and Blackshark. The Barracuda X, on the other hand, came out of nowhere to completely exceed my expectations and deliver some outstanding gaming and multimedia performance on both the PC and Switch, all while resolving some of the comfort issues that plagued some of their past outings. All of this was available without the need for Razer's Synapse client, which can be bloated and resource-intensive at times. To be honest, I didn't think the Barracuda X would be a keeper. But it was a surprise and must keep for gamers , Strongly recommend this headset to all gamers.

Amazing sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these headphones for my son, to use while he plays the Nintendo switch. I was looking for a wireless connection, without sacrificing quality sound. My son loves the ability to quickly connect the headphones, and I love the quiet room, while he playing!

Best wireless headphone I've purchases
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have bought these headphone because a friend has recommended the Razor brand for their audio. The battery life is phenomenal and it doesn't take too long to charge. The mic works great for it being a RAZOR mic

Great gaming headset
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago and have been using it everyday when I play video games such as call of duty. I love this headset because the sound is very loud and clear. My friends hear me clearly as well. The battery life is very long I only charged it twice so far. I love this headset!!

Love this headset!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Razer Barracuda X is an awesome value for a great quality, comfortable headset. Using with Android, Switch or PS4 is also pretty seamless.
I really loved the Barracuda X with my Switch - being able to use them wirelessly is a lot more flexible, and you can always use the included 3.5mm cable to plug them in if you need to charge at the same time. The microphone can be disconnected if you don’t plan on using it but, the sound quality is exceptional. As far as the microphone, people say they can hear me just fine, so i assume it works well too.
When playing competitive shooters, I was able to tell what direction gunfire and footsteps were coming from with them.

Great wireless headset.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This headset was easy to set up right out of the box. It has a good range, I was able to go downstairs and still connect. It has a long battery life and the sound quality is great for a wireless headset.

Great product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an awesome headset, easy to use, quick charging, long lasting charge, noise cancelling works well. Easy operation of buttons on headset. Multiple platform connectivity. Microphone is detachable. 3 part driver system for enhanced use, I really like the "flexibility" of headphones, and ear coverings are soft and don't hurt your ears after extended use.

Great Headset
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been looking for a new headset for my gaming needs, as my current PlayStation official started to die on me faster than expected. This headset, is by far much much better. Super simple setup, great sound, easy controls. Love that the USB-C can go in the front of the PS5, freeing up ports on the back. People I play with said I sound much better than I did using my older headset. Would highly recommend this headset. It’s definitely a top tier accessory.

Wonderful sound quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Razer Barracuda X gaming headphones have an incredible sound quality and are extremely comfortable. The foam on the earphones is thick and so comfortable that you forget you are using headphones. These headphones have a wide range of different uses from having the wireless connection ability to also having to separate plug in options! These also are very good at noise cancellation and I cannot hear things outside of the headphones. The only thing I noticed could be improved was the quality of the plastic, the buttons seemed a little cheap but the overall function of the headphones, the sound and the noise cancelling ability was very impressive! I would absolutely recommend these headphones if you’re a gamer or even just work from home and need something comfortable you can wear all day!

Great quality headphones with minor flaws!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't tried this brand up until this product was gifted to me for review. I am pleasantly surprised. We buy gaming headphones at least 2x a year since me and my husband are big gamers. Here is what i love about this product. The USB-C dongle works with PC, Android phones, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation. We can literally change it up and and this headphones multipurpose. As my husband uses while gaming, I can easily connect to my phone and listen to my e books which is perfect. It has a very strong audio performance. The sound is clear and crisp. It has a very clear microphone. We haven't had any issues. There is no lagging.
It is light and comfortable fit so I can take it out with me while walking and it doesn't give me any headaches. It is bundled up with lots of cables that are sturdy and tanglefree. One thing I wish it had was a headphone carrying case so we can take it to our trips. However you can still buy a cheap case that would work just as good. For the price tag these headphones are a dream come true. Also if you have a Playstation these headphones doesn't work without a wire. But you can still use it with a cord. Overall, I am really happy with the quality, sound and microphone. I would reccomed if you are looking for a solid headphones.

Good gaming headset!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros
Lightweight and comfortable - designed to be worn for hours.
Wireless - as one who uses a studio microphone having the ability to wear the headset away from the desk and still talk is a plus. In addition, the wireless range is great!
The detachable microphone is nice when you want to use a different mic, play solo, or just listen to music. It offers crisp treble frequencies.
Cons
Some difficulty noted in the lower frequencies but not a big deal.
Mic has some static at times - I recorded myself reading and noticed there was some static at times while I was talking. Not as crisp as I prefer but Overall great product!
