Review on 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 by Cardell Haynes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good option - but could use a little more

It took me almost three hours searching through all options of headphones for gaming. Turns out these are also a good set of media headphones since the microphone can be disconnected. The mic is clear and good, even though I connect and disconnect it often, and if you don’t want to be heard, it also has a mute button to switch between game chat to silent playing. The soft pads make long consumption sessions enjoyable unlike leather cushions where the ears get hot and the pressure makes wearing for long periods of time almost intolerable. The fast wireless receiver makes gaming and media consumption through a laptop/computer seem almost wired-like. The extra for me is the option of having Bluetooth; not only does it have Bluetooth, but it comes with the Razer Audio app. The app allows to customize equalization to the user’s preference, and the changes are saved for the next time the headphones are connected. This is a good gaming headset that also doubles as a good set of wireless headphones for travel (probably not unless you’re on a plane because they do not have noise cancellation)There are a few things that would make these a bit better headset:1. A Razer Audio app for pc for continuity EQ wise and to also monitor battery life while gaming/media streaming.2. If noise cancellation would be an option, I would appreciate an extra set of closed ear pads to change from comfortable gaming sessions to air travel, noise isolated, silent media streaming trips.For the price, there is nothing as versatile as this headset.

Pros
  • The 50mm drivers on these headphones deliver an immersive audio experience that will enhance your gaming experience. The sound quality is crisp, clear, and detailed, so you can pick up on every detail in the game, giving you an edge over your opponents
Cons
  • The headset is a bit heavier than it needs to be
