Designed with 4-in-1 Wireless USB-C Connectivity for PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and Android Devices, the Barracuda X promises immersive home gaming and seamless on-the-go audio.
Razer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers is proud to introduce the new Barracuda X Wireless Multi-platform Gaming and Mobile Headset. Designed for gaming on multiple devices at home or outdoors, it offers true versatility and freedom backed by long-lasting comfort, powerful drivers, and a crystal-clear mic. The Barracuda X is an all-purpose, 4-in-1 wireless gaming headset compatible with PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and Android devices.
Many modern wireless headsets are designed for use either at home or on-the-go, and switching between devices can be a time-consuming process, with unpairing and pairing over Bluetooth often leading to connection issues. The Barracuda X is conceptualized for ease of use and incredible versatility – its reliable ultra-low latency wireless connection combined with a sleek ergonomic design, powerful Razer TriForce drivers and a detachable, Discord-certified[1] Razer HyperClear Cardioid microphone makes the headset the perfect all-in-one-solution for multi-platform gaming.
“Many of the headsets out there that are marketed for multi-platform use can only achieve this using a wired connection,” says Alvin Cheung, Senior Vice President of Razer’s Peripherals Business Unit. “The Razer Barracuda X combines high-performance gaming features and true 4-in-1 wireless connectivity with the design and ease of use of lifestyle headphones. The result is a single, multi-purpose headset, ideal for all-day-long gaming no matter which platform you are using or where you are.”
One design to rule them all
The Barracuda X was developed from the ground-up as a versatile, multi-platform headset with a strong focus on style and comfort. Leveraging many years of engineering expertise, Razer has integrated their proprietary industry-leading audio technologies in a comfortable wireless gaming headset equally suited for indoor and outdoor use.
The Barracuda X has undergone an extensive design process, dictated by fit, comfort, and simplicity, resulting in a concave surface design for reduced bulk, clean lines, and a harmonious blend between yoke and ear cup, for a sleek, stylish look. The low-profile ear cups are angled to fit every ear shape and can be adjusted and swiveled for a personalized fit. With plush memory foam ear cushions, and a thick, soft, lightweight headband for a pressure-free fit, the Barracuda X weighs just 250g, delivering all-day comfort.
Effortless plug and play
The Barracuda X comes fully equipped with all necessary accessories for the ultimate out-of-the-box multi-device experience. At the heart of the multi-platform capability of this gaming headset is the Razer HyperSpeed Wireless USB-C Dongle. It enables the Barracuda X to seamlessly connect to a PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch or Android devices as a plug-and-play device, eliminating the need for Bluetooth pairing and software/driver downloads.
For situations where a USB-C connection isn’t available, the Barracuda X is supplied with a USB-C to USB-A adapter cable, ideal for PC or docked Nintendo Switch use. For further compatibility, a 4-pole, 3.5mm jack is also available when an analog connection is needed. The Barracuda X also comes with a USB-C to USB-A charging cable – a full charge lets the headset run for up to 20 hours of continuous use.
Fine-tuned for full fidelity
The Barracuda X features the latest in Razer’s audio technology. Using the Razer TriForce 40mm Drivers, the Barracuda X provides high-end audio performance for bright and clear audio, with individually tuned high, mid and low range frequencies for clearer trebles, a rich midrange and powerful bass, promising an immersive audio experience.
Featuring a detachable Razer HyperClear Cardioid Mic, the Razer Barracuda X supplies ultra-clear voice comms, regardless of the platform you’re gaming on. The microphone on the Barracuda X offers improved voice isolation excluding more ambient noise from the back and sides, increased sensitivity for greater low frequency response, and an optimized housing for added clarity and accurate voice pick-up.
The Barracuda X wireless gaming headset is the one headset to play them all, with versatility, a lightweight design and simple plug-and-play wireless connection for seamless 4-in-1 use across PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Android devices.
