Reviews & Ratings
The Razer Barracuda X Wireless is a pleasant surprise: At 100 euros, it is pleasantly inexpensive, especially by Razer standards, and it is an all-rounder. Rarely before has there been a headphone / headset that can really be used with almost all systems: PC, Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4 and 5, every Android smartphone with a USB-C port, the iPad Pro...
- Good audio quality
- Simple, tasteful design
- Numerous connectivity options
- Lightweight and comfortable
- Excellent battery life
- Mic has to be very close for clear audio
Razer's Barracuda X offers excellent connectivity for multi-platform gamers, a tasteful and subtle design and admirable wireless sound quality. The microphone requires a little fiddling to get the best quality, and Xbox gamers will have to grab a cable to play along. Still, the lightweight Barracuda X offers excellent quality and flexibility for its price range.
- High wearing comfort
- Compatible with many devices
- high battery life
- Low-detail, bass-heavy sound
- Microphone transmits voices muffled
If you prefer to gamble without a cable, go for the Logitech G733. Although the sound quality of the G733 lagged behind some of its wired colleagues in the test, it is still a good choice due to its high wearing comfort and long battery life. The best performance for the money is delivered by the Corsair HS70 Pro, which with its very mediocre microphone is an alternative especially for solo gamers.
