Great headset in my review

after my 3rd logitech headset going kaput, I wanted to try another headset and stick to the "gaming" aspect as I do enjoy the faux-surround. giving razer a shot, again, I do not regret this purchase.i use "movie" mode for games and it sounds very good. spatial awareness is precise, and I feel the THX spatial sound is a bit more "exact" and specific with its environmental sounds compared to using the DTS Headphone X: 2.0 which I find to be a good thing for what I play (Bf4, Bf1, R6, Battlefront…

Pros
  • Detachable Razer HyperClear Cardioid Mic: Tuned to suppress background noise for enhanced voice capture during gaming and can also be easily removed to make the headset more travel-friendly for mobile use
Cons
  • May not be ergonomic enough for all head sizes and shapes

TLDR: no sidetone, but a good headset overall.

I bought these as a replacement for my corsair void pro's that broke just over time.Pros: The sound is awesome. For the price, this headset bumps. Good bass, good voice from discord or team. The color is a nice matte white. The ear cushions are very comfy and the head band is as well. I can wear these for hours and not really feel them.Cons: there is no Sidetone. Meaning you cannot hear yourself and surroundings through the mic. Kind of an issue for me as no where does it say that it doesn't…

Pros
  • Razer Inc.
Cons
  • Battery life could be even better for a gaming headset

Not compatible with Razer Synapse

Bought this as a gift for my boyfriend and he seems to really like it. Most painful experience with this was coming to realize that it's not compatible with Razer Synapse. I was going mad trying to get it to recognize only to check their list of compatible products and this wasn't one of them. We did get the 7.1 surround sound to work with their other software though, so that was a win. We'll see how it holds up!

Pros
  • Accessories
Cons
  • Microphone quality may be lacking for voice chat in games

Excellent product: my feedback

I adore these headphones. They are exactly what I was looking for. Switching from my computer to my phone is very easy (just three quick button clicks to go back and forth). They are comfortable. And the microphone is removeable (in case you are just listening). The mute button is easy to click on and off.I know these are marketed for gaming, but I use these for conference calls. Active noise cancellation makes me nauseous, so I was looking for a high quality set of headphones that don't have…

Pros
  • Razer SmartSwitch Dual Wireless: The headset can instantly switch between high-speed 2.4GHz or Bluetooth mode for seamless audio as you hop between using your PC/console and phone respectively
Cons
  • Volume may not be loud enough in noisy environments

Great overall but there are a few flaws- update

All around it's a great headset; the noise cancellation and transparency mode are great and the battery life is amazing and the short time to charge is even better. The sound quality could see some improvement however it is still good enough for the price point. It's of great

Pros
  • With 2.4GHz wireless connectivity and Bluetooth, the Razer Barracuda X headset offers gamers complete wireless freedom. This means no more tangled cables, and the convenience of using the headset at a distance from the device
Cons
  • Sound leakage may be a problem for those around you

Good But Fragile best in my review

I had gotten these in May of 2022 and they worked great until I had accidentally dropped them off of my desk from about two feet up which in turn ended up breaking the power switch. Other than being kinda fragile they were good for what they were made for.

Pros
  • 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. (included)
Cons
  • Does not have advanced features like noise-canceling or 3D audio

Great headset for my opinion

I had a Razer Kraken headset before and this one is much better. I guess my head is small but this fits perfectly at the smallest size but the Kraken earcups were a bit low. The grip is much better on this one than on the Kraken which makes the noise cancellation much better. The Kraken would literally fall off my head if I looked up. It was a bit tight on the first day but now it feels perfectly comfortable. The earcups are very soft and comfortable and my ears do not touch inside. The only…

Pros
  • 50 Hours Battery Life with USB-C Charging: Designed with enough juice to power you through a full day of gaming and commuting
Cons
  • The user manual may not be clear and easy to follow
