Description

40 mm drivers and a light frame for long sessions

The 40 mm drivers cover 20–20,000 Hz, the full range of human hearing. An impedance of 32 Ω means no separate amplifier is needed, and the headset plays loud enough from a phone or laptop. At 260 g it is light for a full-size headset, which you notice after a few hours of play.

Who this headset is for

The Barracuda X Chroma suits a player who wants one wireless headset for gaming as well as everyday listening and calls. The white Phantom White Edition is for anyone who prefers something other than the usual black. If you need active noise cancelling, look at other models.

Questions & answers

Does the Barracuda X Chroma work with PS5 and a phone?

Razer calls the model multi-platform and it connects over Bluetooth, but the manufacturer does not specify a list of compatible devices.

Does it have noise cancelling?

No, there is no active noise cancelling (ANC). The over-ear cushions only block outside sound passively.

Can I use the microphone in games and calls?

Yes. The microphone covers 100–10,000 Hz with a sensitivity of −42 ± 3 dB, which covers the range that matters for speech.
