Razer Barracuda PRO Review - DON'T CHOOSE WRONG!

[@AcaciusBanger]

Lol is it worth it though cause I'm getting a separate microphone anyways

[@Tyler-rf5sg]

I am not justifying razer and their pricing or how they launched this, but after buying the regular barracuda and watching videos on the other two, I think I fully understand the line better than most people I fully believe the X is for if you prioritize gaming over music (hence the boom mic) the regular is for a nice hybrid between gaming and music and I believe the pro is solely for music/lifestyle, with the ability to game on the side. Maybe someone who wants a work headsets for music and walking in the city, and then does a little bit of gaming at night after work

[@JediPoncho-ou4kc]

Exactly. Some of us prefer to hear our music noise cancelled, wireless, and have the bass options this headset provides. In fact, this headset is better than beats studio one, which costed 300$ just a couple years ago! People are not taking this headset into proper consideration. I easily think this is the best for people like me.

[@ray21926]

It’s nice to hear they increased the range. That was a major issue for me and the black shark v2

[@ieonful]

Here is another important tip for everyone who bought the headset. I wasn't very happy with the sound quality at first, so I turned off THX Spatial Audio completely. I use Dolby Atmos for Headphones for all my headsets. This is easy to download from Windows and offers the best sound quality in my opinion. The difference is really huge. It costs money but it's worth it.

[@Matthew-nl9kd]

Personally I'm more of a fan of DTS Headphone X, I found Dolby to boost the bass while DTS keeps the original sound signature. But I'd recommend making use of the free trials to try them both out first :) Either way they're great because you then own the license for life and can use it for any headphones, and on other PCs even as long as you keep the same Windows account.

[@ieonful]

@@Matthew-nl9kd Hey I just tested DTS and It's more detailed overall. I just bought it, thank you for the hint.

[@OliverKnights1]

I think I broke my Dolby Atmos, mine didn't cost me anything lmao. Never did

[@zackman1156]

I mean I like the idea of these. ANC for travel. Non flashy design with no boom mic for the office but still a gaming headset. Fits my lifestyle perfectly

[@xuxon24]

I feel that there really is a market to seize in the 200 to 300 range to offer this hybrid style headphones but no removable mic is bad, that mic sounded terrible.

[@clintdevlin7026]

I'm waiting/hoping on his review for the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. Seems to do everything this does plus more and better. At least that's how it seems to be so far

[@kacperolszowski1331]

Tbh not having a boom mic can be a could thing, personally that was the reason that I chose barracuda over other headphones. I absolutely hate boom mics and integrated one in barracuda is tolerable for discord calls

[@nivity]

There is 1 clear usage of ANC + 2.4ghz for me at home. I live near a park, during the summer there are so many live gigs, concerts etc. And the bass sounds traveling etc is maddening. I noticed ANC is the 1 thing that basically removes 90% of it all. However, there are like zero ANC headphones with 2.4ghz usb connection, all BT which is horrible when connected to PC. Delay feast. So in that regard I am tempted to try the razer for next summer, or if other models comes out with ANC + 2.4ghz. This summer I used normal BT ANC headphones but the delay was annoying af when connected to my pc (a BT5 dongle). Here's to more 2.4ghz headphones with ANC in 2023!

[@celestialstreams3629]

I'm wearing the barracuda pro right now, while they're charging. straight out of the box they had a charge and I've had them plugged in since.

[@Dionyzos]

I don't wanna buy seperate headphones for lifestyle and gaming so I like this new trend. I'd prefer Sony or Bose to include gaming features though as I prefer those headphones in general. Give me Sony's XM5s with 2,4GHz wireless and a removable microphone, maybe even swappable batteries like Steelseries does and I'm sold.

[@nunpho]

samesies. if im splashing out on headphones i want them for more than just gaming

[@SparkRattle]

I completely agree. The ones I have now are also used for work. Sure, I look like a sci-fi cosplayer in conference calls but the bosses don't seem to mind. I find that I have to use software like Nvidia Broadcast to effectively remove background noise in the mic though. Most gaming headsets nowadays skip the ANC on the mic which makes it a bit of a chore to properly setup and tune the first time. Most Gaming headset ANC is aimned towards making the sound quality clear and the mic is rudementary. But once you have it down, yeah, it's nice. :D

[@roboticvenom1935]

[@UnimatrixYoutube]

Just when you think mic quality of wireless headsets can't get any worse. What a joke. Also, no charging on a gaming headset whilst using it is an absolutely no go. Thanks for the review though! There were several Reddit posts on the Razer subreddit lately from people who managed to get their hands on one of these because a retailer screwed up (I believe it was Bestbuy), so I was very curious about a review.

[@frozengamer3030]

You can buy the new steelseries wired headsets for the price they are asking.

[@SLiX-thatguy11m-]

I'm likely just to switch my current Barracuda X for the new one, but the Pro and regular seem to fit my needs more. I have a dedicated mic so no need for a attached boom mic, and I've honestly just been waiting for BT (available also in the new X line) so I can bring it on the go to replace my QC35

[@Sparky_007]

[@HisNameIsRobertPaulson01]

If I'm going to spend $250 for a pair of decent audio quality headphones, should I even consider the Razer Pro? I don't care about a mic at all. I just want good sound quality headphones that I will use for gaming, music, and movies.

[@garretts431]

yeah why not? if youre looking for all 3 types of listening why not go with the pro? i bought these and waiting for the delivery - i game and listen to music, and im not an audiophile either. i just want something that will sound good when i blast the other team or blast my music. im not looking for technicality.

[@VaultTecAi]

I recently got the mid tier barracuda for 65 on amazon so a hell of a deal, my stealth 600 gen 2 are just complete trash on PC so these will be a step up. I like the no boom mic but for me its because of my kid. My kid has chewed on two of my mics before just trashing them lol one came back to life after drying out for a day or two but after hearing a few sound test and also being someone who hasn't had nor do I care too much about sounding the best I think they will be good. Im fortunate my type c ports are out of the way of any other ports as well. Love the aesthetic as I am moving back over to razer after being disappointed with logis software for mouse and headset.

[@SparkRattle]

Corsair has never disappointed me in terms of mic performance, even the VOID RGB Elite. Although I did have to pair it with Nvidia Broadcast to get the mic to tune out the ambient noise coming in through the mic.

[@unbiasOrbit]

I love the mic quality of the Corsair Virtuoso, but that headset hurts my head cause it's so heavy.. now I'm using the Razer blackshark V2 and it's perfect for me!

[@SparkRattle]

@@unbiasOrbit I'm probably in the minority that don't mind the heavier headsets. Probably because of my bigger build, I'm not sure. But I do understand that Corsair's designs really are heavier than many in the market. I love them to bits but that weight is the most common detrator I hear from anything corsair offers. I'm debating if it's the battery or the metal frame though since they seem to often use aluminum parts in their construction. Razer often goes for lighter materials though and seem to have a good balance over all. If anything, my sole complaint with Razer is the leather ear cups. I have a rather acidic sweat so it degrades the leather in a matter of months and forces me to get new cups ever few months or so. Wish they had more microfiber offerings (which I think they do offer but not often enough) Edit: I hit the save button too early. Hahaha!

[@unbiasOrbit]

@@SparkRattle As someone who has owned the Corsair Virtuoso, I can confirm that the metal construction is the main reason why it's heavy. I like everything about the headset. But I've found myself not able to keep the headset on for long periods of time due to the discomforts I felt on top of my head (it feels like someone is pressing their knuckles on my head). I also agree with the leather earcups part. That's why I got the Razer Blackshark V2, because they don't use leather earcups. And I also like the more neutral sound of the headset, it doesn't sound too much like a gaming headset with over exaggerated bass. Been loving it ever since I bought it!

[@beliveinurself]

You're going to need to grab a measurement rig. The B&K is overkill... but even a cheap setup would be a huge improvement. Tired of these manufacturers getting away with selling crap just because RTINGS hasn't measured their particular model.

[@JoeNokers]

most people shopping for gaming headsets won't look at frequency response graphs anyway. That audience will just buy a modmic or desktop mic and their headphone of choice.

[@beliveinurself]

@@JoeNokers I don’t necessarily agree. LTT has a lot of clout. If they started reporting FR and showing how it deviated from the scientific target, this will have a strong flow on. The water cooler effect can be very powerful

[@Tantuhard]

The only thing that I got from this video is that that corsair headset was pretty dope :)

[@roddybrod]

Surprised you brought out the clouds instead of the HS80 when referencing a top-end wirelesss mic. The mic on this razer thing is way too poor for me to play with buds. Currently using Razer Opus for ANC for media consumption and Corsair HS70 for gaming but would love to only have one. Hoping to see the Arctis Nova Pro on the channel!

[@ugzz]

I'd pair the pro with a modmic, but have to take that cost into consideration for sure. But that pro mic quality is straight up unacceptable / useless. Also, I haven't tested 2.4ghz for audio quality, but even the best bluetooth with the best bluetooth receiver sounds worse than wired to my ears, but that's more for audiophile grade comparisons. For gaming, it's more than enough.

[@ivancarmenates84]

I have both the BlackShark V2 Pro and the Barracuda X and man first time my impression is that the Barracuda X sounds much better than the BlackShark Pro. The bass is more powerful and firm in out of the box and even voice is more warm. With The Black Shark v2 pro the bass is more soften. In some scenarios the BS V2 Pro specially if you turn on the THX will sound interesting and not bad in general but I'm still impress and I even enjoy more the music on the Barracuda X which is 99 vs 199 on the BS V2 Pro.

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS.. The ANC on this headset is a GOD SEND!! OMG!! So, I have a new neighbor that moved in recently. Now my room window happens to be facing directly on their back yard. And typically, that would not be an issue BUT these guys are hard core partiers!! Almost every 2 days they throw a party and at least once a week rent out a live mariachi band. The sound level is almost concert level!!! Now this wont be an issue during the day hours when im at work.. BUT THEY PARTY FROM 6pm until 8am every time!!! And they really don't turn their music down. This headsets ANC had saved me from nights of no sleep. I understand that the ANC on this is not perfect or not as good as the SONY AND BOSE.. BUT It does help take off the edge. I recently taped up some sound proofing foam to cover my entire window and with the ANC headset on its almost quiet!! Now i know people will be like i should of bought the bose QC35 But I needed the 2.4hgz light speed bc i did not want the bluethooth latency for both gaming and watching movies. And i also like how this is a hybrid headset where i can actually take it outside without looking like a clown. So, this headset gives you best of both worlds.

[@drcapz]

I was really hoping the mic on this headset would be better. I’m in the market for a “hybrid” headset for gaming/work, however, do not want a boom mic for the sake of having the headphones look less “gaming”. Are there any sub $500 headsets you would recommend?? Cheers!

[@SquidGains]

Last couple years Razer products have generally been a disappointment. From putting those awful optical mouse switches on their new mice and keyboard, it's made everything feel cheaper and downgraded the feel aspect of their devices. It was a bummer when I bought the newer versions Deathadder and Huntsman only to realize that these optical switches are a no go. Really hard to get a feel for the actuation on optical even though they try to mimic the mechanical feel, it doesn't work at all. Opticals are some combination of mushy and crunchy I tried most of Razers new optical mice and ended up going back to a mechanical mouse. Same went for keyboards. Really hope they don't exclude making mechanical products going forward.. Idk if optical switches are cheaper to produce or what because I've heard very little positive about them from a consumer standpoint.

[@rdmz135]

Optical switches are great wym. No cancerous double clicking like on other mice *cough* gpw *cough*

At least I get to try different stuff out I suppose but yeah, I won't be buying anything optical going forward.

I've been using the arctis nova pro wireless and have been loving those anc helps for me with having multiple 3d printers near my desk.

Used Sennheiser HD800 + modmic = endgame?

[@Keepit10011]

One day headphones and a VR headset will be one thing.

[@zahidshabir4038]

On my headset I never run out of battery life I almost always have my headset on charging when I am home all day and am not using it and then take it off charging when I wear them I have the Corsar HS80 which is the best headset I personally have ever used

[@MinecraftersVL]

I would go the pro route with the wireless modmic

Can we get an update video for early 2023 on best wireless gaming headset please thank you

[@skreeog]

ANC is good for fan noise and keyboard clacks.

[@itsdeonlol]

The Pro looks nice!

[@tomgjonaj9965]

Alienware’s newest AW920H seems like one of the Best gaming headsets right now

[@roboticvenom1935]

how??

[@fupse]

Original 40hrs, new 50hrs, double the battery life?

[@MJTbreww]

I definitely need a new headset, going my by Mouse and keyboard I know razer is... yeah. What would be considered the “best” headset? Also a musician so being good for both is a bonus!

PC38X By Sennheiser

[@MacVerick]

Razor headsets are not even close to the quality of their other products. Get a JBL Quantum headset instead. Much better sound AND best quality of headsets on the market.

[@mustafa.f9665]

Best to go with a fnatic react or a coolermaster headset for which i don't remember the specific model number though, all i know is that coolermaster model is a takstar just like hyperx so you're gonna get some good set of cans. You could go with phillips shp9500 is you can get it

[@beliveinurself]

PC38X is the best. If you want closed back, the MH752 is well regarded (I own both). I personally also enjoy the H6PRO (closed). It doesn't sound as good as the two above, but comfort is *chef's kiss*.

[@MJTbreww]

Thanks for the responses :) I’ve been running Hyperx Cloud 2’s and they’ve been okay, nothing special but no complaints besides comfort to me and the volume slider and mic starting to break

[@rouge29]

Does this also have the plastic quality issue? Cracking randomly
