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.

Surprisingly good for $100
 Pros: The sound is really nice and feels very immersive to me. The bass isn’t too cloudy and the treble isn’t piercing.I have a smallish head so the base length fits well enough, but I always go a size up just in case. Because they’re so lightweight, the earcups don’t come off my ears too easily. Though it feels a bit cheap and plasticy (because it’s plastic I think), it holds quite well. I’ve even managed to fall asleep on them with no damage, though still try to avoid it. Compared to the space q45 headphones from Soundcore, these are way better for the price, given the amount of connection options.The battery is… uh, I think they enchanted this battery. Out of the box, it was at like 80%, and nowadays it remains at a stable 50% throughout the day if I don’t charge it. It’s crazy how long it actually lasts. The latency is almost unnoticeable, but I’m not sure how much can be said when it comes to the mic.Cons: The switching between bluetooth and hyperspeed wireless is finicky. When it’s connected via USB but in Bluetooth mode, any sound from that source overrides the Bluetooth by actively pausing the sound, if possible. Sometimes, when you’re in hyperspeed wireless mode and you switch back to Bluetooth, the sound gets weird and stuttery, which is fixable by unplugging the wireless adapter and rebooting the headphones. The connection does produce faint clicky sounds when it’s not playing anything on Bluetooth, but it’s easy to get used to.The microphone is alright, though I do wish that there was an option to disable whatever noise-cancellation it does itself, and an option to use it as headphones without a mic when it’s not plugged in. Maybe develop an attachment on top of the headphones that stores the mic; I’d gladly buy something like that.Keep in mind that there’s no active noise cancellation, but I think it’s somewhat passive. The volume knob is separate from the actual device volume, which is a good touch for any fine-tuning.If you’re not keen on spending too much for a gaming headset, this is a nice option.

Llevo ya 3 meses usándolos y debo de decir que son una excelente opción, los compré reacondicionados y viene con su caja original, cables y todo (ni siquiera te das cuenta que con reacondicionados), la baterÃa me dura bastante, sinceramente en una jornada de uso de 6 – 8 hrs no he tenido problemas con ellos, lo que si es que en jornadas largas puede que comience a ser un poco incómodo el traerlos puestos, en cuanto a sonido no tengo ninguna queja, los uso para jugar (CSGO, RB6, CoD, valorant, etc.) en donde el sonido es importante y escucho todo perfectamente y me encanta que se pueda ajustar el sonido desde los auriculares.Micrófono bastante decente, me escucho bien, no se escuchan los ruidos de al rededor, son bastante buenos si no tienes un micrófono a parte (como yo), además, solo son para platicar y dar call outs, también no hay que ser muy exigentes, los he usado alámbricos e inalámbricos y no he tenido ningún problema con ellos, también en el teléfono tienen una excelente conectividad bastante rápida he de decir el cambio de PC a teléfono y viceversa.En resumen, si, si los volverÃa a comprar.

Los audÃfonos son de buena calidad, gran sonido y el micrófono es bastante decente. El adaptador 2.4 funciona perfectamente y no existe latencia, aún conectado mediante bt no se nota un retraso.EspecÃficamente en el color rosa la espoja que tiene el micrófono al poco uso se despintó y se empezó a ver amarilla y no gris como venÃa originalmente.

Buena calidad y precio.

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

I’m deeply impressed by this product. I’m no audiophile, but do own multiple other nice headphones and office headsets.Construction quality seems great. Its all plastic (steel headband adjuster) but feels really solid. Matte finish. Considering the wireless connectivity and microphone and battery, they are impressively lightweight.The 2.4GHz usb-c dongle is critical here. I value low-latency video meetings so plain Bluetooth is not an option. (too much lag) But its also great to be able to take cell phone calls with them and also use for music-only via Bluetooth.Extremely comfortable. Like, wow. The ear cubs are exceptionally deep and large. I have large ears and fit easily within the cups such that all the clamping pressure is distributed on the skull/neck/jaw. Clamping force is medium. I have some lighter headsets, and some stronger ones. Riding a bike would be a stretch, but just sitting in the office I choose to stretch them out a bit to lessen the clamp.Audio is awesome. Bass heavy with sharp mids. They feel incredibly… spacious? Something about the physicality of the set makes the stereo separation beyond compare. It sounds really really good imo. And you can adjust with a THX or a third party app to make the EQ flatter if needed. External sound isolation is good too. I vastly preferred these for music compared to the Blackshark v2 X.Microphone is ok. Without adjustment I found the gain simply too high. But speaking softly, and turning the input level (on PC) down a bit, its pretty good. Very localized pickup. I also predominantly use these in MS Teams which has built-in noise suppression which I turn up to “High”. In un-altered side by side comparison to the “Blackshark v2 X USB”, the Blackshark is obviously lower and also clearer. Probably a better mic. But the Barracuda X will suffice for my workplace meetings and phone calls. (I have relatively high standards for this btw, 80% of headset mics are unacceptable imo) I somewhat miss having a rotating mic boom but having them detachable is the next best thing.Comes with all the cables you might need – all proprietary branded with integrated rubber straps. No carry case.They do not work with the Razer Synapse app (neither does the Blackshark X USB) which seems like a purposeful disabling for this “X” model. It does work with the Razer THX sound app but that has a $ cost and doesn’t control the microphone.For the price I think its a surprising high performing product. From the packaging to the included cables to the audio, comfort, mic, and connectivity, it all speaks of quality. Well done Razer.
