Razer did it again & BETTER? Barracuda X Chroma Review

[@Alvenes]

Finally decent mic quality AND proper side tone. That is rare. I just hope the sidetone isn’t full of noise like the BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) that I returned for that reason only.

[@Sturmx]

Razer products look so good. In my experience they usually don't last very long. Cheap materials that look nice. Especially things that have come out recently.

[@ad6m.]

Same, I like how they stopped with the overgamery designs back in the day, and went for a more minimalist approach recently

[@Mike-pd6np]

They look great, but lately the build quality is terrible. I've got a razer kraken tournament edition that I got back in 2020, still working great and other than some wear on the headband and the fabric pealing off, it's still in great quality. The problem is synapse. That software is just.... awful.

[@Cryptid71]

I've been using the black shark V2 for years now. And I game 3 or 4 days a week so not really sure where you get that advice from but yeah

[@Sturmx]

@@Cryptid71 Well specifically that headset I've had break in my experience. The two bars connecting to the head part. The side of that just exploded one day. I've seen countless pictures of that same exact spot breaking as well.

[@ankitchauhancr7]

Why is synapse awful? ​@@Mike-pd6np

[@LemonCet]

does he come with the headset? Razer really stepped their game up

[@Ostius]

Holy Legos we need a tour of that room!

[@infernaltim]

Techne Jr about to take over this whole channel! 🙂

[@abdrielsoto2020]

Man it would have been great if the added a integrated mic like on the kaita pros.

[@Legion15243]

Hello, this sound better than Kraken v4? thanks

[@jamesstevens968]

Absolutely not razer kraken v4 pro wireless is razer s flagship headphones they have bigger drivers im not getting these new razer barracuda too cheap i will stick with my astro a50 gen5 they have better drivers one more week for my ps5 pro cant wait stay safe and happy gaming to all

[@kioko696]

Wish you compared it to the 2022 version

[@clawson32104]

How is the clamping force compared to the Kraken V4? I bought those to try and returned a few hours later. They were very comfortable but just loose for my small head. They slid all around and there was no way I could have kept them.

[@Mati-kun]

So a nice upgrade. I still use the first edition Baracuda X and and as far as I know the Chroma's arent avilable in my region yet.

[@5_i_v_e]

Are they going to release a Barracuda Pro Chroma?

[@TeeDubya44]

What do you think is Razer’s best Xbox compatible headset? I’ll be streaming with the headset mic.

[@antonioruiz9511]

These vs the steel series 5 ? Same price and pretty much same features. What would yall go with ?

[@RandomPerson-d7p]

Does it work on Xbox ?

[@boneknockgrit2695]

the sound quality is the same as barracuda x 2022 ?

[@natalioguerra96]

Techne which would you pick between logitech gprox2, asus delta 2, artcis nova 7 dont care the mic only pc gaming wireless

[@boxman888]

priced around like a steelseries arctis 5 wireless, similair features. which one is better ? not counting the microphone, im leaning arctis 5 because of the app and they look better to me.. gaming and media content on BT is what I use it for

[@armandarmi]

Arctis Nova 5

[@AllOfTheAboveHTML]

So I just got mine today and I'm super excited about it, love it. But for some reason it's refusing to show up on the chroma PC app. Shows up just fine on my phone. If I plug in the included dongle to my PC it shows up in chroma but tells me the device is switched off despite being on and connected to the PC.

[@AllOfTheAboveHTML]

Addendum: Turns out I am simply an idiot. It didn't mention it anywhere in the manual but there's a dedicated pairing mode for the dongle. Pressing the power button three - two times switches to this mode / from this mode between bluetooth.

[@zenbrixn]

How is the mic is it good ? Thinking about buying these

[@YoloVib3s]

Hows the wireless connection because I've had it with the Xbox wireless proprietary connection. keeps dropping out even with the dongle 2 ft from me

[@Cryptid71]

Is this on Xbox? Or is this only for PC?

[@lik3m4ik]

Please tell us at the beginning for wich Plattform it is.

[@palfotta]

I think Razer headsets are pretty bad / not so good soundqualitywise, but man those wireless micrphones are top tier.

[@Steramell]

so it's not thx spatial like blackshark v2 pro do. and why it's didn't have eq option on razer synapse

[@theerror9083]

Can it be used as a corded headset in any way? Can you use the charger port as a corded headset? Im looking for a wired + wireless razer headset nothing expensive.

[@crypticcelt3618]

Nice to see tiny techne joining in. Have you reviewed the philips fidelio for gaming? I just picked it up on Amazon for 90 bucks a few days ago. The sound WOW

[@TeeDubya44]

Can it connect straight to an Xbox or is the dongle required? I’m running out ports haha

[@HattrickClaudiuHKS]

@The Techne is it possible to use them wired? Without the USB wireless chip connected to the PC? Thanks!

[@nick_xd6812]

no he said no bro

[@alexrosario5601]

do review on the new refreshed microsoft xbox headset ! please !

[@vasilisfellouzis]

I cant get them to conect to the synapses

[@ad6m.]

Good review I guess this is their budget casual wireless headset if the kraken v4's is too expensive not a bad looking headset

[@marionotbros2]

As a fairly new father of a soon to be 1 year old boy, I cannot wait to introduce my son to gaming like you did to techne jr! So wholesome man

[@buzzingsniper38]

I personally just snagged the limited edition Xbox Wasabi Audeze Maxwells, can't wait for them to deliver

[@jamesstevens968]

Ha the audeze maxwell there a joke for gaming every day usage. ive had my audeze maxwell for 9 months haven't used them for 6 months they been sitting in my closet. There too too too heavy for every day usage especially if you play 6 to 8 hours every every day and there not even comfy there too bulky worse headphones ever im coming from the astro a50 gen5 razer kraken v4 pro wireless turtle beach stealth pro wireless corsair virtuoso max nova pro wireless turtle beach 700 gen3 . And my favorite headphones are the astro a50 gen5 and the nova pro wireless but I did order these . Can't wait for my ps5 pro got about a week to come in. Stay safe and happy gaming to all

[@thelastnatty8537]

You reviewed this before the razer kracken v4 pro?

[@Syveran777]

That's what I'm wondering??? There are no reviews for it and it's been out for weeks. Something doesn't feel right about it.

[@thelastnatty8537]

@Syveran777 yeah something’s fishy

[@jamesstevens968]

THAT'S WHY I returned them and the sound isn't all that good for ps5 they don't get very loud

[@Mark-mu4pj]

Great video dude it's a nice headset

[@ivancarmenates84]

well the old ones where too big for me at the minimun size, pritty weir because all other razer headset fix perfectly fine but the normal barracuda X were too big so these one wont work for me I belive unless I had a xxl size of the old ones if that exists

[@clawson32104]

I had the same issue with the Kraken V4 as they were too big even on the smallest setting. I typically use the Blackshark V2 Pro and they fit perfectly

[@Uputz]

I got these from Razer as well. Great feel.

[@jamesstevens968]

How do they sound for ps5

[@WOLFSPARTAN117]

Great video man, thanks for what you do

[@TheTechne]

@@WOLFSPARTAN117 🤝

[@gazzasteffs]

Do these work on xbox? Great informative video as usual btw 🤘🤘 my partner hates you btw because ive bought 3 new headsets in 6 months lol

[@Eldon.308]

That's one smart kiddo God bless 🙌

[@5_i_v_e]

Awesome review as always! Your son is awesome! 🙌🏽🔥🔥🙌🏽

[@Aerobrake]

Hello Techne JR

[@metalhead_trash]

W vid bro and nice seeing your son for once and his dope Lego collection

[@TheTechne]

@@metalhead_trash gosh that Lego collection 🤦‍♂️ 🤣

[@nlmbgio]

looking for a cheap wireless mouse just for regular tasks not gaming

[@michaelr1611]

Are you going to be doing the new Microsoft Xbox Wireless Headset?

[@janklimek9972]

Very nice review, as always. So to get it right - the sound is just good or very good? Evidently without some trembling or bass system in it, but compare to other Razer headsets, especially Kraken and BlackShark, how good is it? Thanks

[@jamesstevens968]

The sound is awful I returned mine these are made for kids or people on a budget or people that don't know good audio the only good thing about it is the chroma light but you cant see them anyway when you have them on your head the sound cuts in out when you use the app don't listen to techne he's a car sales man. My nova pro wireless blow them out of the water. Waiting for my ps5 pro got about a week yet stay safe and happy gaming to all.

[@caiuswolf7725]

Damn daddy

[@jamesstevens968]

These headphones are trash there made for kids or people on a budget or people that don't know good audio . I returned mine my nova pro wireless blow them out of the water the only good thing about the razer barracuda x chroma is the lights but you cant see it lights when you have them on your head anyways and the sound cuts in out when you do use the app. Techne I hope these are not your daily driver headphones because I think you should be able to know good audio stay safe and happy gaming to all.

[@KGB-FSB]

Looks and seems cheap.
