the whole point of the headset is that it doesn't connect to razer synapse a) it makes the experience simpler for the user b) the headphones are able to be cheaper because razer doesn't need to pay developers to make a synapse thing for them
What a crybaby. Wireless dongles for headset can be stowed away on the earcup itself. You can tuck the dongle inside the earcup foam gaps while charging. Basic. Being resourceful in how you use and utilize your gadget is your responsibility. Not Razer's. Second, do you even know why a dongle is required for gaming compared to Bluetooth? It's latency. It took me years and almost a dozen of wireless Bluetooth headset and earbuds (Sony, Apple Airpods Pro, Sennheiser, you name it) and all have latency. Timing and audio-video sync is paramount for movie and gaming immersion. But for casuals, I understand how you can enjoy delayed jump (tight platformers)/supers and audio cues (fighting games)/gun (fps) sounds. If I want a Bluetooth one, you shouldn't even look at Razer in the first place. You are not the target market for this headset. For latency itself, wide gaming compatibility and the neutral look (detachable mic), this is a good headset.
How do they perform in music? I know they are for playing but I really appreciate the good quality of the music. Since due to their aesthetics they lend themselves to day-to-day use such as going to work.
You get 50% discount on THX Audio when you register them then the spatial sound is great, and the EQ also becomes available, so you can configure them as you like
Switch has supported bluetooth as long as ive had it, and its been longer than a year? Or at least ive been primarily using my bluetooth headphones for longer than 2 years.🤔
What I'm hearing is since I already have THX Spatial installed on my PC, I already have a Siren X and ditch the mic anyway, and use wired 3.5mm over wireless, these will work perfect me 🤔
@Codygamer360 7:22 A badly designed mic would be quiet or distorted but wouldn't have those grating electronic sounds. Sometimes products break in manufacturing or during shipping in a way that isn't a fault of how the product is designed per se. Offering replacements for rare problems like this is cheaper for the manufacturer and consumer than checking every headset. Could also be that his sound card is broken or something. He isn't reviewing the microphone in that section, he is reviewing the quality control of the company or his audio interface which isn't mentioned as a goal of the video
I used this headset like 4 times since purchasing them. Went to use it today for the 5th time and the right ear phone is much lower than the left. Idk why this just happened all of a sudden. Very tragic. Trying to fix them now. Trying to use them on PS5 and just can't find a way to adjust them.
Imo a dongel isnt bad had the corsair void pro and am using the hyperx cloud 2 rn. 😅i actually think the connectivity of it is really good you can use it on basicly anything phone pc switch very nice all the other had dongels and they where usb so no phone or switch connectivity( I should add it's the Kingston version of hypercloud the old one not the ruined hp version)
My personal opinion is, you can configure this using 3rd party EQ software for this Barracuda X. And since it has 4 hybrid mode (PC, Mobile, Switches, Playstation) for person like me who loves to play hybridly, It is 100% useful for my needs. People like me who loves to play Casual games and keeping a low profile gaming set definietly worth to buy. But those who're loved shooting games that need surronds sound 7.1 i recommend you to not buy wireless headphones, but wired headphones instead such as Razer Kraken Tournament Edition or Razer Blackshark V2/V2 X. Wireless sometimes aren't perfect as they are when comes to competitive things, keep them simple and casual as it is.
They are designed to play, not to listen to music or podcasts, although it is true that they are not perfect, I consider that you complain a lot and want to demand the best of the best from headphones that only cost 99.99, which in my opinion is acceptable for a low profile headphone without RGB that I can use not only for gaming but also for everyday work etc. For me, that is a great added value.
Its a PoS that doesn't last long.... even replacement headsets have the same issues... The microphone issue is a legit problem with hundreds of people having the same issue.
You set your expectations too high for a $99 product. I just bought the product and I think it is a miracle that it offers such features at this price. The microphone volume is a little low, but I think it's okay, it works very well.. I think Barracuda X can be preferred instead of buying HS70 at this price. If you want to have driver support, it is most logical to choose the 2022 model, but the Razer THX surround does the job. (for a certain fee). The only thing I can't understand is why did you release 2022 version and now give driver support Razer?
2 years later…i purchased this headset today and i’m returning it tomorrow. for 99, it sounds like complete doo doo. i was using a 50 pair of anker headphones until now and it sounded the same if not slightly better
Bad review overall. While you present yourself as an audiofile your own video has a poor sound qualiry. Volume diference while you move your head, no pop filter before the mic that makes all the Ps, Bs just be an huge disruption. Overperformed voiceover that sounds just fake and annoying. You might say okay just another hater but how is it possible that you failed to record anything with this headset? All the other reviews shows that this mic quality isn't the best but it works! And the cherry on top... Dongle is small and you might loose it while showing it with Nintendo Switch. There is no bluetooth connectivity with Switch so PLEASE tell me what better option do you see in connecting your headset to this console?! Random bluetooth connector that is a bit bigger and less possible to lose? Or a jack 3.5 to usb c adapter that will be connected to the cable that you will carry with? Poor work but hopefully somebody will get tricked to use your affiliate links that are so much more important to promote more than acrtual tests of the product. For anybody being interested in this headset please look somewhere else for an actual test because here you won't find anything besides the poor and unprofessional opinion.
I bet he doesn't even know what he's talking about. How does he even compare an Opus X (dedicated to mobile gaming) to this Razer Barracuda X (multi-platform gaming) headset.
To those saying the mic is broken... there are plenty of reviews with similar experiences with this mic. Even when working as designed, the mic is terrible.
So, you really thought it was a good idea to subject your viewers to like 2 full minutes of the most annoying soundscape imaginable without it even being representative of the product cause you mixed it like that on purpose and acted like it was a mic check for a bit? Wow, maybe think again some time.
What did you think about the Razer Barracuda X? Do you disagree with my take? Would love to hear your thoughts!
They sound like garbage. My earpods are better then them. Dont buy guys. Straight back to amazon
JUst bought it and the right speaker doesn't work. Anyone have this issue
can you connect these to android phones without dongle?
Please reply @techsummittv
the whole point of the headset is that it doesn't connect to razer synapse
a) it makes the experience simpler for the user
b) the headphones are able to be cheaper because razer doesn't need to pay developers to make a synapse thing for them
I have a Viper and a Black widow, I've never used synapse. I don't see any problem here

How they compare with the Hyper x Cloud Flight ?
woah that mic is defective
I think your product is defective, hence I don't think this is a valid review. But don't get me wrong, I think ur review details etc are very good.
If we're being honest here, he probably didn't even download the razer drivers for the surround sound.
How do they perform in music? I know they are for playing but I really appreciate the good quality of the music. Since due to their aesthetics they lend themselves to day-to-day use such as going to work.
I ordered a pair of these on Amazon and the left ear cup doesn’t work on it from when I had it
You get 50% discount on THX Audio when you register them then the spatial sound is great, and the EQ also becomes available, so you can configure them as you like
yo my man you fr? bc i bought a the “steelsieris version” of these and the audio is horrible with no way to fix, if you’re fr i’m buyin these
Switch has supported bluetooth as long as ive had it, and its been longer than a year? Or at least ive been primarily using my bluetooth headphones for longer than 2 years.🤔
hi when i connect my razer to my iphone the mic does not seem to work for calls. is that normal?
I have the wireless ones but every time I hook the mic up the headset audio goes away.
What I'm hearing is since I already have THX Spatial installed on my PC, I already have a Siren X and ditch the mic anyway, and use wired 3.5mm over wireless, these will work perfect me 🤔
The mic is clearly broken

bro what about the latency of this headphone for competitive games for (valorant and csgo)
the sound quality is soo bad but no latency
you just didnt mic all the way in or properly
I used this headset like 4 times since purchasing them. Went to use it today for the 5th time and the right ear phone is much lower than the left. Idk why this just happened all of a sudden. Very tragic. Trying to fix them now. Trying to use them on PS5 and just can't find a way to adjust them.
I challenge you to do a full in depth review on the Barracuda X 2022
Tech Summit do these work with the Xbox One X console?
My mic isnt working it works in warzone but nothing else
Man, you edit your videos, why include 1 minute of suffering?
Imo a dongel isnt bad had the corsair void pro and am using the hyperx cloud 2 rn. 😅i actually think the connectivity of it is really good you can use it on basicly anything phone pc switch very nice all the other had dongels and they where usb so no phone or switch connectivity( I should add it's the Kingston version of hypercloud the old one not the ruined hp version)

When I tested these out at target the surround sound was very good to me so ya
Hi, what if I buy a Type C adapter and plug the flash into it and plug it into the iPhone charging port, will it work?
Idk man i am trying to figure it out did you figure it?
commenting for future reference, I am also searching for this
.
.
My is my mic not working ?
How is the mic in discord calls?
yeah that’s what i wanna know, i’m not gettin them if i can’t talk in a call with them
Works fine, clear sound and no leakage
Its a PoS that doesn't last long.... even replacement headsets have the same issues... The microphone issue is a legit problem with hundreds of people having the same issue.

why tf u talking like that💀💀💀
These headphones have so much potential. In future versions i mean. Add Bluetooth, OPTIONAL synapse support, and maybe a bit more they would be great
In my opinion, you are complaining too much for things that could easily be resolved. You also got a broken microphone as my friend's is very clear.
Bad review overall. While you present yourself as an audiofile your own video has a poor sound qualiry. Volume diference while you move your head, no pop filter before the mic that makes all the Ps, Bs just be an huge disruption. Overperformed voiceover that sounds just fake and annoying.

How does he even compare an Opus X (dedicated to mobile gaming) to this Razer Barracuda X (multi-platform gaming) headset.
I personally hate the RGB look on just about everything
The sound quality of it is sooooooooooo bad I was using hyber x cload alpha for 4 years and it's still good
your asking too much for a $100 headphone
I've had them for 30 minutes. They sound like crap compared to my turlte beaches. Lack range and Power.
To those saying the mic is broken... there are plenty of reviews with similar experiences with this mic. Even when working as designed, the mic is terrible.
am getin tis for 60$ so i think it aint a bad choice
Why do you talk like that
They are really bad for gaming I can’t tell where the enemies are at all
So, you really thought it was a good idea to subject your viewers to like 2 full minutes of the most annoying soundscape imaginable without it even being representative of the product cause you mixed it like that on purpose and acted like it was a mic check for a bit? Wow, maybe think again some time.
Your room reminds me of persona and danganronpa hahaha
in serbia where i am from, these headphones cost $ 150
Dammn feela bad
