Review on Renewed Razer Barracuda X Wireless Gaming Headset with Multi-Platform Compatibility and Lightweight Ergonomic Design by Micha Szymaski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

In general, the reviewers over-praised them a little. This is not the ultimate dream. However, you can’t get it for comparable money, everything else will be better in some ways, worse in some ways. I needed an awesome microphone with good passive noise cancellation for work calls. I received it. The ears in them sweat like in any closed headphones, no more and no less. You can get tired from landing on your head, they are pressed quite strongly. Not a disaster, but you won't walk in them all day. Of the alternatives, you might want to consider the Razer Blackshark v2 pro (they have a built-in equalizer). Of the much more expensive - Jabra Evolve2 75 and 85, those are really magical in every way. But 3-4 times more expensive. ate after 2 months of use: they are too good to give them 4 stars. I ate to 5. I use it every day, no complaints.

Pros
  • Omnivorous. Almost. Indeed, you can connect even to a smartphone (any! It would be Type-C and OTG), even to a laptop, even to a set-top box. Though without a wire though 3.5mm a cable. Cool microphone! Directly smooth, not cutting idle low frequencies. If you close your eyes to bass or apply an equalizer, the middle and highs play very well, without distortions! In white, the look is just awesome! Matte plastic. Very pleasant to the touch. Exactly the same as the Razer ProClick / Mini mouse.
Cons
  • In wireless mode, the microphone is noticeably quieter than in wired mode. You will indeed be heard *a little* quieter than the rest. The wires have a slight microphone effect. But only light. There is no bluetooth. The volume of the wireless when connected to a laptop and connected to a smartphone via OTG is different. Playing with a smartphone is much quieter. In the subway, this volume is not enough. When connected by wire, the sound of the headphones changes dramatically - it becomes very very bass. Lovers of listening to music will be frankly annoyed. That is, yes, it is sometimes cool to hear the bass in melodies where it is initially quiet, but the price for this is that the bass will stick out in those works where it was not supposed to be at all. However, this can be corrected with an equalizer. As a result, the sound will not be audiophile, but quite acceptable.
