Listened to this vid with this headset. Got it today and am digging it so far! Comfortable even with my glasses too. Haven't tested the mic yet, but Im coming from cheap phone earbuds with mic so im sure ill be happy
if you have tested the mic, would you say it's similar to that tested in the video? I've seen other reviews and the mic doesn't sound as good as it does in this vid. Cheers
@goosewrld9320 I would say the video sounds better, but overall I'm happy with the mic and I'm still happy with the purchase! And I really like how nice the mic is to move around. It stays in place well
Yup, still relevant in 2023. ^_^ Good to know since I had this last year. Batteries do last for a long time. I have been using this pair of headphones on and off for work and personal use (roughly 15 hours a day) and I usually charge it twice a week only. Great and balanced sound, and the mic is better than my wireless (Bluetooth) Audio Technica earpods.

@@goosewrld9320 yup, pretty much. Voice is clear, with right balance of bass and treble, although I would have liked it if the audio was a bit "crispier".
Good to see these are still going great guns.. Couple of Qs: 1) As for mic quality - how does it do in suppressing background noises? Will it pickup kids in the background/ keyboards clicks/ other ppl chatter in the room? Q2: Also, how good a job the passing does in blocking out the sounds?
@@kyrios1120 not really. there has been an issue maybe once or twice where i couldn't connect the headphones so i just removed the usb and put it back in and it worked fine after
I've been looking for gaming bass headphones and ones with a better mic I have the 2nd gen Xbox headset and the short mic sucks, but the sound quality is amazing. I'll definitely be saving my money to get this.
My only question is how well they would fit in a travel case. I understand they are gaming headphones, allthough i would like to use them for music too😅. Do the sides adjust well? besides the flexibility of course hahah..

Just picked mine up about a week ago and I’m literally blown away by these. Best headset I’ve ever had by far. Literally everything about them is perfect the battery life is INSANE too I did not know about that when I bought them. I literally haven’t charged mine in like 4 days of constant use and their still at 48% 😂 it’s ridiculous
@@jhnplpj theres an app you download on your phone. you just pair it to the app and then you can see the battery percentage on your phone along with the EQ settings
they market this headset as a durable headset. I had it for two weeks and dropped it on the floor once and the power button proceeded to break making it completely flat with no click, still usable, but nearly impossible to switch modes considering you have to click it three times to switch modes other than that this is a great headset, but razor definitely needs to step it up on the quality of their products I mean come on now $130 and it breaks the first time I drop it
i can tell you for a fact that these are great headphones i have had these for around a year and a half and got these used from amazon for less than 50 bucks for some reason and they still are great headphones that i use on a day to day basis
Ok I have a question, I am looking to get this for work and gaming, however I spend a lot of time in meetings and on calls so I am kinda fussy about my mic quality, this doesn’t sound too bad but does anyone know if we can swap the mic out and if changing the mic will make the audio quality better
I bought this when it was released. I did a firmware update last month and the USB-C stopped working because the firmware was literally uninstalled and was not reinstalled (firmware updater says the firmware version is blank, just shows - Razer Support is not able to support me and all of the software they had me install to try reinstalling the firmware did not help and simply asked me to contact the seller (since I bought it from an online store) which is miles away.
@@seeum2098 I'm just using bluetooth because the dongle isn't even working anymore. Windows detects it as a generic device with no way to install drivers or firmware. It was a good run for a year, not a shitty experience and wouldn't recommend anymore. Getting the new Arctis Nova or Corsair's HS80
Does the barracuda x retain the gaming mode settings or reset after disconnect current connected device. for example. Connect to phone, turn on gaming mode. disconnect the phone and connect to switch. Does the gaming mode still turned on? ( Razer Audio Mobile Gaming Mode setting 1:13 )

Does this headphone mute mic button works everywhere like on USB mode and Bluetooth mode in all windows? I'm asking this because I've recently purchased cosmicbyte obreon headphone in which there is a mute button but it only works in Bluetooth mode and on top it does not work on android mobile apps like discord. So can anyone help me on this?
@@josetheg2318 Not sure what it could be for you. I apparently didn't have the mic fully connected. You have to make sure it's locked in when you attach it.
Had them for a week or so and so far they have been pretty janky....lads tell me they sound like shit and I cannot get the firmware update to work because it does not acknowledge the dongle is plugged in when I run the install
The plastic frame of this headset is not durable at all and would easily torn out even after short period of usage. For me I would spend more to purchase something more sturdy and durable.

These have a companion app and noise cancellation for the mic is a setting on it
i haven't tested any extra apps but as far as the mic comes raw it picks up quite a bit of noise from the background

first time watching your vid. but I am more impressed how ypur beard looks good hahaha
So you don't need any driver or software for the 7.1 surround sound?
im pretty sure you need the surround sound app on windows
If I connect the headset with 3,5 klinke, will this turn of bluetooth to save battery or is this function always on?

Did you buy it? I have the same question
@@symbollical2305 they’re good but now I use hyperX cloud 3. Both are good

Which Logitech headset are you talking about?
These better than hyper x Cloud 2?
And does this support 7.1??
it does indeed support 7.1 but as for better than the cloud 2 im not sure but those are the headphones im using rn and they are great
They are between the Cloud 2 and Alpha. I Will prefer the Barracuda X over the Alpha.
Would this be any good for the gym? (with the mic oc)😅
Great review thanks. What game/platform are you playing?
hes playing battelfield 2042
barracuda X 2022 or blackshark v2 pro 2020? only $12 price different in Indonesia

Is the mic worse when using AUx? Mine is a bit muffled when wired vs wireless
which headphone u end up buying

there's no two seperate mic and headphone jack for pc??
you need to buy an adapter /:
this is just a repost for the top 5 you did, sooo is it still worth it in 2023?
Does it support 7.1 surround sound when using with ps5?
yes

Barracuda x or blackshark v2? For music and gaming
Baracuda
i say barracuda
Please help me😢when I turn on a game on Steam through these headphones, the sound is completely muted or there is no sound at all, what should I do?
check that ur headphones are on and that the audio output is to the headphones
Win+G select your head phones

Barracuda x or nova 3 ?

No, but you can use a normal microphone that isn't from the headset and use the headset as headphones
hi! if u use the wire it comes with to connect it directly to your device the quality should be better! hope this helps
Is it the 2021 Version or 2022?
21 if only for gaming and if you don't need Bluetooth
Does it have lightspeed technology or that kind of thing like 2.4 Hz
2.4
is it ment for gaming?
yes

mic sucks friends always telling me they cant hear me. always cuts out when im talking
