Very versatile headset
This headset can be used both in everyday situations, but also when gaming. I have used this headset when gaming, in the gym, doing chores and in many other situations, and this headset has not failed me.It comes with a detachable cardioid microphone, including a pop filter. The microphone sound quality isn’t the best, but it works well enough for people to understand you when recording your voice.The logo is sleekly engraved in the side of the earcups, as well as the top of the band, and looks very modest and not flashy. The 2.4ghz receiver has a very wide range, and it can go through 3 floors, maybe more. It has both Bluetooth (2022 ver.) and a wireless receiver for devices that don’t have Bluetooth or wireless connections. The receiver uses a USB-C male port, but if your device doesn’t have USB-C, it comes with a USB-C female to USB-A male ports.At this price point, I can guarantee that you will get your money’s worth.

You get more than what u pay for
Well, well another very good german product. Very comfy and good quality frame, sound and mic. Battery last very very long time. Memory foam pads are very impressive, no more sweaty ears. I was thinking about alienware 720h, but Iâm glad I have ordered these instead.

Constant static using wireless, do not buy.
Do not buy this headset. There’s a reason you can see them available for discounted price in perfect condition. Constant static in the right speaker while using 2.4G wireless or Bluetooth, others online have reported the same so it’s a QC manufacturer issue. Amazon should return their stock to Razer and not selling them on.This will be my first and last Razer product.

Bluetooth works well under Linux
So, these headphones are marketed by Razer as “7.1 surround”, but in reality they have two speakers in them, they’re stereo. The 7.1 is a clever audio trick that’s done by the Windows drivers. They make a silicone model of someone’s head, put two microphones inside the ears and then move sounds around the head to simulate things happening in different directions. Clever software analyses the slight delay and the change in “shape” of the sound due to the shape of the ears and the head. They then create a “convolver” model from it. So, the sound comes from behind – they use software to twiddle with the sound to make it /sound/ like it’s coming from behind, according to the model they built using the fake head in the lab.There are loads of these convolver models out there, and razer’s one is… pretty good… But the reality is that the headphone are still just two mid-range speakers. They don’t have the punchy bass to simulate some far-behind thumping noises, and they don’t have the very high treble to simulate some water dripping from above accurately enough.So, to say they’re 7.1 surround is like saying a ferrari can fly because you can technically load it up into a C130 and drop it out the back. Yes, technically, it’ll fly, but it just won’t be very good at it.So, when you plug these headphones in they’ll start to work just fine, but they’ll be stereo headphones. That’s what you get out of the box on Windows and Linux. A decent pair of stereo headphones. If you want “surround” you need to install the special surround-convolving software/drivers. But these only exist for Windows. If you want to do it on Linux, you need to enable the filter-chain for “sink-virtual-surround-7.1-hesuvi.conf”. But that convolver model is proprietary, so you need to go find the “.wav” file for a 7.1 model for it to convolve the stereo into surround properly.In short, getting it to be 5.1 or 7.1 is a faff on Linux. Doable with research, but a faff. Plus, you can only enable the filter chain for everything, not just the headphones.I did it, and I downloaded the best 7.1 hesuvi model I could find and played a bunch of games, and I have a sad revelation…. Playing the games in stereo was just as good. Adding the front/back element from the 7.1 surround just wasn’t clear enough on these stereo headphones. The drivers just can’t quite handle the clarity, they’re too muddy.So, other than that, the battery life is excellent, the BT stability is excellent, the controls are fair, the recharge time is good, and the sound quality is… middling to good.The only strange thing for me is that they support usb charging, but they don’t support being usb headphones. It would seem an obvious choice.. But no, they can be 3.5mm audio jack headphones when they’re switched off (i.e. you can’t even charge them when using them as standard headphones), they can be Bluetooth, and they can be 2.4GHz (with the dongle – more on this later), and can be charged when using Bluetooth/2.4Ghz.So, to the ‘dongle’. It does seem to work well, and has a long range. But the phones don’t seem to want to auto-connect to the dongle when they switch on. The dongle has a firmware bug (apparently) that means that you have to unplug it, and re-plug it whenever you want to re-connect the headphones after a sleep / reboot. That’s just silly. Plus the Bluetooth is really quite good anyway, so I’ve just given up on the dongle for now.But the biggest thing for me is that the dongle takes up a USB port, and the phones also can take up a USB port when charging. If the phones had been designed better, the USB cable would have allowed them to be usb headphones. If the dongle had been designed better, it’d have had a USB ‘in’ port on the back, so the phones could just piggyback on the same port as the dongle. It’s USB-C, so there should be more than enough current for the dongle AND the phones to work.I know these are midrange ‘phones, but there are some curious design choices and strange quirks that make me think Razer slightly took their eye off the ball with these, especially claiming them to be 7.1 headphones.As standard, wireless, stereo, bluetooth headphones, they get a straight five stars.As multi-mode, ‘gaming’ 7.1 2.4GHz headphones, they get about 3 stars.For Windows support, they get five stars.For Linux support, they get three.So, it all averages out to about 4 stars for me. Good, but could be better at this price point.

Ãrünü birçok kulaklık modelini araÅtırdıktan sonra satın aldım ancak çok uzun saatler kullanma Åansım olmadı.Genel olarak deÄerlendirecek olursam 10/9 diyebilirim. Kutusundan çıkan kablolar, paketleme vs çok baÅarılı. Ayrıca amazon da kısa sürede sorunsuz olarak teslimat saÄladı.Artıları:Kesintisiz eÅ zamanlı baÄlantı, bluetooth, kablolu/kablosuz kullanım, gayet yeterli baÄlantı mesafesi, 50 saatlik batarya süresi, hafif bir kulaklık olması, kulaklıÄının çıkarılabilir olması, ergonomik tasarım, kullanılan malzeme kalitesi gibi.Eksi yönü:-Müzik dinlemek amacıyla almak isteyenler varsa ses seviyesi biraz düÅük gelebilir ( kiÅiye göre deÄiÅebilen bir durum benim için yeterli bir müzik performansı sunuyor)-En önemli eksi yönü ise yine müzik performansı açısından; kumaÅ kulaklık pedleri olduÄu için yüksek ses seviyelerinde ses dıÅarıya duyulacak düzeyde çıkıyor örneÄin tren, otobüs seyahati gibi kapalı alanlarda ses dıÅarıdan duyulur.Ãzetle:Bana göre çok fonksiyonlu bir kulaklık olması en önemli artısı. Daha çok oyunculara hitap eden bir kulaklık diye düÅünüyorum ancak bunun yanında müzik performansı çoÄu kullanıcıyı tatmin eder bence.Mikrofonu 10/7,5 diyebilirim ses net gidiyor karÅıya.Ãrünü satın alacaksanız satın aldıktan sonra razer id ye kayıt yaptırmanız gerekiyor. Kayıt yaptırdıktan sonra 7.1 surround kurulumu için mail adresinize kod gelecektir. Bunun yanında Thx Spatial Audio uygulamasını da satın aldım ve kulaklıÄın performansı daha iyi oldu.Sonuç olarak kulaklıÄı tavsiye ederim. Kullanım amacınıza göre tercih edebilirsiniz ve kesinlikle almak istediÄiniz ürün/ürünlerin videolarını izlemenizi öneririm.

Got this Barracuda X as my first Razer headset and it works great on PS5. Out of the box sound is punchy. However EQ settings changed by connecting via Bluetooth to Razer Audio app on your phone, where you can adjust the EQ settings or create your own, and EQ stays saved on your headset. Switching between WIFI & Bluetooth can be done by pressing power but 3 times.I mostly play Warzone and footsteps are very clear, also the explosion have great bass.Previously I tested HyperX Cloud 3 wireless and there was no option to adjust EQ other than on PC.

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.
