Best Sub $100 Headset
If you are wondering if this is a good headset, the answer is yes, and you should buy it. Keep reading if you want the details.I watched hours of YouTube reviews looking for the wireless headset that would strike a perfect balance between build, sound, and mic quality. My previous set was a Logitech G432 wired headset. It suffered from poor build quality (you could hear plastic creaking when you turn your head) and the normal wired-headset issues (restricted mobility, a cable that gets tangled etc).The Barracuda X is an amazing deal for the money.- Sound Quality: Great. Iâm not an audiophile, I know literally nothing about music. So if youâre similar then youâll love these. If you know a lot about sound and music youâll probably think they are a little heavy on the bass, but still good. at least thatâs what a lot of reviews said. If youâre an average joe like me you wonât care.- Mic Quality: Awesome. I know some reviews have complained this is a weak point but Iâm telling you the mic quality is stellar for a wireless set. Of all the mic tests I listened to on YouTube this set was the best. It even sounded better than some $200 sets!- Build Quality: Great. There is no plastic creaking sound when youâre handling them or turning your head while wearing them. They feel very light but still âsolidlyâ built. They donât look like a gamer headset so you can take them on trips or public places without worrying about standing out or looking like a weirdo.- Comfort: Awesome. I have a small head and they fit amazing. Not too tight, not too loose.- Battery Life: the 50hr battery life is no joke. I have used them frequently (1-5hrs a day) after the first charge and have not needed to recharge them a week later.- Connectivity: I had no issues using the 2.5ghz, Bluetooth, or 3.5mm jack. The mic quality was best with the 2.5ghz, and suffered a bit with the Bluetooth, which is to be expected.Summary: If, like me, you are wading through a proverbial ocean of headset options and not sure which one is the best value, then just get these and youâll be happy. This headset checks all the boxes.

Way better than reviews make it out to be. No need to look elsewhere. Crazy good microphone.
I was looking for essentially the best bluetooth mic I could get for work. A boom mic would be the minimum requirement for me, because you need the mic physically close to your mouth, so it had to be some sort of gaming headset. After that, I looked for mic sound tests and all that.So, you’ll watch reviews and hear soundtests for the mic, and you’ll think it sounds kinda bad on bluetooth. Plus some of the negative reviews on Amazon would make you concerned on the build quality. Even using the USB C dongle, other headsets like the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro or the Hyperspeed are significantly better.Well, take this from an audiophile: I tried these first hand and they are great. From the build quality, the mic quality and ability to not pick up background noise, all the way to the sound quality on bluetooth. I was under the impression that I was going to settle for a mediocre mic, and thankfully that’s not the case at all. This mic is up there with a desktop boom mic, and sounds better than my $150 Logi Pro X. Your voice comes across clear and crisp without background noise, even if you speak at a low volume.The default EQ preset is garbage, but download the EQ app and set the preset to music or do your own custom preset, and it definitely surpassed my expectations. They also feel super solid though I’ll have to break them in for a bit. So far, I love them. I’m glad I didn’t go for the more expensive BlackShark hyperspeed. If these ever break on me, I’m more likely to buy them again than not. Sound clarity / definition is definitely good, comparable to quality open-backs like Sennheiser’s. Sadly Razer uses a trash EQ by default, but nothing that can’t be fixed by the user.These can get “bust-your-eardrums” loud, if necessary. The thing itself is not uncomfortable and does not put a ton of pressure on your skull, but with time and use it gets gradually more comfortable.I love how well-built they are. They are lightweight, but not in a cheap way. Razer is slowly earning me as a loyal customer, this is my third device from them and it’s a hit like the others. First two being the Kiyo Pro webcam and the Siren V2 X mic.One tip for Discord regardless of device or headset: Disable echo cancellation, It only causes problems.The auto call switching feature is a nice add-on, and the USB-C dongle works on your phone if you want, even with a case on, as long as it’s not a very thick case.10/10, I hope Razer doesn’t abandon this product line (at this price) and they continue to make newer / better iterations years down the line.EDIT: I ended up downloading Wavelet on my phone and using an AutoEQ profile specific to the 2022 Barracuda X. I couldn’t be happier, sound clarity and quality improved a lot. (If you wanna do this and previously used the Razer app to set an EQ preset, go back to that app, connect the headset, and change it back to default. Otherwise the AutoEQ won’t work properly).

Pese a que son de plástico son resistentes, cómodos y se ven de calidad, no son muy pesados, (yo paso 8hrs con ellos) y no me cansan en extremo; hasta ahora no he tenido quejas del micrófono y el volumen es adecuado. El sonido es nÃtido y agradable (los uso para trabajo asà que no puedo opinar mucho en juego) pero incluso la música se siente prÃstina. La pila dura bastante y me gusta que pueda cambiarse entre la entrada C, entrada 3.5 y el bluetooth, viene con todos sus accesorios y personalmente el color me gusta. La cancelación de ruido pasiva no es tan buena en un entorno ruidoso pero sirve bien en condiciones normales. En general me gustan y han cumplido con su función, no son tan calurosos pero después de un rato es notorio que tampoco son taaaan frescos. Supongo que eso depende de cada persona, en general no están mal pero me parece que por un precio como el que tienen podrÃan ofrecer algo más.

El audio es excelente, la Opción para cambiar de 2.4 a Bluetooth es muy útil para pasar de la computadora al celular, la baterÃa dura bastante, aproximadamente 32 horas, su construcción es muy buena pero se sienten frágiles, son muy cómodos y no generan calor, el diseño es elegante y discreto, no parecen audÃfonos gamer lo cual es bueno si quieres llevarlos a la calle para escuchar música, también se pueden conectar mediante cable 3.5mm y tienen un extensor para usb c, los recomiendo solo si el precio está en los $2,000 MXN o menos, de no ser asà hay otras opciones de otras marcas

Dollar for dollar this is the most useful, convenient headset for everything except Xbox. The dual connectivity and other features included are actually incredible at this price point. It truly surprised me because it doesnât sacrifice sound quality to allow for all these features. They kept it simple in the looks department, no gamery look or RGB which is very nice. The sports mesh ear cups are light and breathable, way better than anything pleather, it doesnât get too hot. The wireless sound quality is perfect, donât be put off by the 40mm drivers, they sound every bit as good if not better than other 50mm drivers (probably the TriForce tech, they sound so good, especially when you tweak the EQ). The unsung hero feature that I havenât seen anyone post about yet is the Razer Audio app. You can connect the headset to the app and EQ it from your phone while in Bluetooth mode. The settings hold regardless whether in Bluetooth mode or 2.4 (seriously awesome). The strange thing about this headset is when plugged into 3.5mm, it actually sounds worse than when wireless. But, itâs good to have just in case you ever do run out of battery life, even if that would be tough because of the 40hrs per charge. This thing is definitely meant to be ran wireless. Truly, the biggest surprise than Iâm still not really over yet is how they made the wireless setting sound better than when itâs wired⦠just baffling. This is you one-stop shop for a headset if you are looking for something wireless, multi use, and easy to use. Again, only market left out are Xbox players. If you have a PlayStation, Switch, use Microsoft Teams for work meetings, and like to listen to music, this is the holy grail of headsets.
