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).

Great Headphones
Razer is renowned for being among some of the great gaming tech companies, and it shows in these headphones.Quality:First up, quality. The headphones have a sleek design. Theyâre not the most compact headphones you could get, but they are still slim enough to store or travel with.They have a comfortable fit, and enclose my ear within the soft foam muff and padded headband.The materials overall seem really sturdy, as in they should hold up for a great deal of time â you definitely get what you pay for, in a good way.Noise Cancellation:The headphones have pretty good noise cancellation in my opinion. With the volume up to 30-50%, itâs nearly impossible for me to hear a level speaking tone beyond them. When theyâre off/ sound is muted, I can hear beyond them a bit; albeit the outside world is still fairly muffled. May not be the top of the line in noise cancellation, but they still do a mighty fine job.Sound Quality:As aforementioned I keep my audio about 30-50% of the way depending on the game/ who I am playing with. These headphones have excellent sound performance that, to an everyday user and a connoisseur by no means, would argue are a close second on sound quality to any expensive headset (noise cancellation aside).Microphone (mic):The mic itself is (as far as Iâm aware) a good mic. It doesnât pick up the hum of background noise, or sound fuzzy â thanks to the padding around the mic itself. Though, because it doesnât pick up background noise it does need to be within about an inch or two of your mouth if youâre more soft spoken like myself (maybe not so much if youâre raging on it).One minor concern I do have would be the foam the microphone cover is made of. Itâs a very basic foam, so over a significant deal of time I do imagine it would take some wear and tear.One thing I do like though is that the mic is detachable. It fits into the headset pretty snug (though it took a moment to learn how to make sure I had it in all the way properly), so taking it out and replacing it shouldnât be a huge concern in terms of it fitting back in place in accordance to wear and tear. That said, you could easily use the headset to listen to music or watch tv in your day to day as well. Alternatively of course you could still leave the mic in and bend it out of the way.Battery Life:In terms of battery life, the headset holds a pretty decent charge. I believe Iâve gone like 3-4 days of using it for about 4-5 hours on average and still not needed a charge. I havenât tested itâs limits, but it seem to have a pretty decent battery life for those who like to have extended gaming sessions/ usage.That said, these headphones are wireless so if wireless & having to recharge headphones is not for you I wouldnât recommend them.Overall/ TLDR:The headphones are great quality, and rival more expensive headsets at a great price for the everyday user. They were certainly worth the buy 🙂

están muy padres, se los regalé a mi novio y le encantaron ya que no solo los usa para jugar, sino que gracias a que también tienen modo Bluetooth los puede usar para escuchar música en el gym, increÃble compra
by sara isabella
Llevo con estos audÃfonos aproximadamente 2 semanas y no tengo queja alguna, me tomo demasiado tiempo decidirme en comprarlos porque habÃa muchas opciones, el diseño es bueno y no molesta nada, el sonido también es bastante agradable tienen cancelación de sonido y buen volumen, la conectividad también es buena puedes usarlos de mucha formas los accesorios se ven de buena calidad, en cuanto a la baterÃa solo los he cargado 1 vez desde que los compre asà que si dura, la única desventaja es que no hay manera de saber el porcentaje de esta más que una luz que indica, en general estoy feliz con la compra.
by Iñaki
La verdad llevo casi un mes con los audÃfonos y los puedo recomendar al 100%. Soy un jugador casual de pc y la verdad me gusta mucho tanto el sonido como el micrófono. Pero lo que más me gustó fue su baterÃa, me duró aproximadamente 2 semanas de uso diario. Otro punto a destacar es lo fácil que puedes cambiar de 2.4 a bluetooth, esto sirve mucho para recibir llamadas o simplemente ponerte a ver TikToks en los que carga tu partida.

Buena calidad y precio.
by Nick
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
