[@seanstuart5264]

anxiety every time you stretch the headsets out but appreciate you for doing it.

[@JoseOnTheAir]

I picked mine up 4 weeks ago for my travel bag. Very good for gaming (and even for supporting my work while remote and needing to take teams calls and VOIP calls). The fact that it can do Bluetooth and USB sold me. Very impressed for $100!

[@liob4o]

How good does the Bluetooth work, can you for example speak and listen when playing a shooter and not lose the sound quality?

[@hannah.]

@@liob4o i think it switches between the two not combining them, edit: i got them a bit ago, they do switch between

[@thelowkeyspy]

are they good for music ?

[@hannah.]

@@thelowkeyspy yes

[@thelowkeyspy]

@@hannah. are the regular barcudda better ? I was told that they have better designed speakers

[@FcoEnriquePerez]

My man I cannot tell you how great and helpful your reviews are, I've been looking trough your videos deciding to what headset I want to upgrade (having some particular requirements like wireless + wired functionality and detachable mic) and every time you clear ALL my doubts, best reviews, everything tested and explained!

[@Dashkova28]

The microphone sounds so good when connected with 3.5 mm jack, then comes second is 2.4 gHz quality, the last is Bluetooth one. With 3.5 mm, microphone quality sounds like podcast condenser mic.

[@markchristopherbahalla4595]

Using Barracuda X 2022 right now while watching this Techne.. Sound with bass is sooooo solid..

[@CaliLifeStyle8o5]

When you make custom eq on the app does it carry over if you use the headset on consol?

[@cappinskii]

@@CaliLifeStyle8o5 no it doesn't

[@umairx25]

hows the mic?

[@dave1123]

Thinking of buying this.. and I have been waiting for the review... The Bluetooth connection is what I have been looking for since most budget 100usd headset I have been seeing being reviewed only has a dongle and the wire

[@helenlol2]

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MICROPHONE TESTS!! I was searching for all of the connection related mic tests and i couldnt find any ! thank u for this !

[@nkpscho]

Great video, I was thinking about getting the logitech g535, but this seem so cozy and the microphone through the dongle sounded amazing. Thanks for the review

[@massimoboschet9309]

Great review, thank you very much! I've particularly appreciated the mic tests! But does it get the voice even when you unplug the detachable mic?

[@OohzyJohnDow]

man.. never seen anything from you. Was just looking for a vid on this headset due to multi use (work, music and quest2) and I found myself really enjoying your style. ON TOP you sold me on this headset with clear feedback.

[@ilhanbayramoglu2811]

Which headset should I look for if I wanna hear foot steps? In warzone, or battlefield or call of duty multiplayer

[@SlimYetzkie]

I got the barracuda x 2022 last month and guess what they're the best for 100$ so comfortable the design is very nice, sound quality is good and so the mic. If you're looking for a budget headphones then barracuda x 2022 is the best for you no doubt. 🙌

[@kioko696]

How's the bluetooth latency?

[@sgod4538]

Which Software are u using? my Sound is shit right now since i cant connect with the Razer Synapse :x

Hows the mic on the dongle compared to the Corsair hs80?

I hate why Razer Barracuda X doesn't have access to Synapse EQ. They sound so good and solid.

[@DanielTooKenYip]

What would you recommend for competitive gaming headset? Especially first person.

[@CherryMonaVT]

Thank u for the review I love it the explaining, the testing everything I was thinking about it when I saw them and with this review Im thinking of buying them I just got a little anxiety because I have the razor kitty headphones in pink and after sometime they started to randomly disconnect by every movement I did which made me sad I really loved the headphones and I'm scared those do the same so after they came out do they do that or did razor fix that issue?

[@khosomujeeb]

Is it good for mobile gaming ? And does it come in other colors ? Please do help me i am buying one.

[@ajlazo89]

How did you guys fixed the issue with the dongle not working? Tyia

[@cristianmunoz6226]

so... what happened with blackshark? wich one its better? this one? or blackshark? sound quality, confort?

[@nunuros]

Your review is the most concise clear of all. Now my decision time. Buy this. Thank you very much

[@yummycow7]

You should do a review on the new wireless Astro A30’s !! The price is very reasonable , only thing in question is the sound quality + mic

[@emalfaro2218]

Is this compatible with iphones? And how is its gaming sound performance? Specially fps games like call of duty mobile?

[@ha5shart770]

The better (atleast in my opinion) dongle shape and bluetooth honestly make this one of the best product revision of all time, and for the same price as the older models it's must buy for budget consumers. Sorry Steelseries Arctis 1, but in the opinion of this consumer. You've been dethroned I may be wrong but this mic quality also sounds a good bit better? May be the placebo effect

[@umairx25]

How would you say the mic compares to the Corsair HS80?

[@troybertram9496]

@@umairx25 hs80 mic is unbeatable

[@DarrylZuk]

Between these and the Arctis Nova 7's, do you think the Nova's are worth the extra $80? I play Fortnite and COD with friends, but not super competitively.

[@TheTechne]

80$ shewwwwww, I would prefer the Nova's, but to say they are worth 80$ more is hard

[@thelowkeyspy]

are these good for music as well?

[@JeanPH1L]

Could you please test the sound quality in gaming multiplayer games using mic through bluetooth if it degrades because of compression

[@06kikas3]

Glad I found this video, almost got the corsair hs80(wired) but this are just superior. Edit: sadly my store only had the 2021 version for 110, so didn’t get the headset

[@gustavogamez8373]

between these ones and the blackshark v2 pro 2020 version wich one would you pick? same price on both, am thinking of these mainly because baterry life and connection with my phone but idk if its worth it

[@Kaiseriin]

I really want to upgrade mine but what am I going to do with the old one? :(

[@MariiAmariii]

I need headphones lol. Uhh maybe sell them or give them to someone

Hello Techne! Greetings from portugal, which one is better this 2022 version or the nova 7x? Thank for your videos big fan over here!

[@maciejkruczek5079]

I absolutely loved it out the box with the old version. Returned them only due to lack of sidetone. Does the new 2022 have sidetone please?

[@kuberpathak5170]

Could u suggest me a best gaming headphone near 70$ considering the aspects build quality,comfort and sound?

[@daywalkr5999]

Does it work over USB-C too? Or is the USB Port just for charging?

[@MarshmallowLover24]

just got mine and tried charging it for 12 hours already. It clearly said on the manual that if it's fully charged, it should be a solid green light but it never happened to me. Is this a common issue of this headset? I also tried downloading the app in play store and it says that it's already at 100%. help please😢

[@weroliera]

Late cause all the steelseries reviews. I have this headset and the 7x+ which I exchanged twice cause of annoying creek sound from the terrible design. This barracuda x has zero creek or squeak and are lighter. I only use the 7x+ when my razer are charging

[@ZtoNikolov]

This razer 2022 its good for play Valorant, CS, PubG?

[@ajigosu9093]

What would you recommend, hs80 rgb wireless or barracuda x 2022? Downside of the hs80 is that it has no BT feature.

[@extr3meshock]

Just subbed as watched many of your videos, they are all detailed and explained well Thank you!!.. but I REEALLY still don't know what headset to buy, was looking at the nova pro but it's pricey... and many headsets are half that price... do you have any suggestions as to what you could compare the headsets to due to budget? - I can afford the $249 for the wired, but I don't know if I can justify the price it. i would also need a gamedec/USB plug in as my soundcard is broke haha

[@TheTechne]

Yo the nova pro wireless are 100$ off right now amzn.to/3Erz3Qz

Can be say it's a better upgrade after Blackshark V2X?

[@sugthebug]

i just bought the black shark v2 x and i just saw this. should i return my black shark and buy these

[@dreamlikediana]

Does it work on Windows 11 though? I'm on Corsair now, and am unable to roll back to Windows 10 (I wouldn't want to anyway) and Corsair doesn't work on Windows 11. There's full on Reddit posts about it, it doesn't detect my mouse or my headset and constantly crashes iCue, constantly crashes the headset. Please start adding reviews on which OS you're working with and adding if it works with Windows 11 or not or if they have the patches to make it work on Windows 11.

[@izcondoralexander]

Does the barracuda x retain the gaming mode settings or reset after disconnect current connected device. for example. Connect to phone, turn on gaming mode. disconnect the phone and connect to switch. Does the gaming mode still turned on?

[@cychotic4043]

hi i just had mine. i connected it to my iphone via bluetooth however the mic does not work in calls unless i attach the detachable mic. is that normal?

[@E9oK9kMaV]

happy i watched this. the product page for the 2021 pink headset says it has bluetooth, but seeing here and reading around everything confirms 2021 version doesn't have bluetooth.

How do they feel with ur glasses on?Looking for some good headphones for my wife.I'm leaning toward the turtltbeach stealth 600 but I love Razers.

@TheTechne hey 👋🏻 should i buy sony inzone h7 or barracuda x 2022? i cant deciede which one to buy.. i usually play fps games and watch films in my free time. H7 is 170$ and the barracuda x is 100$ in my country. Is there a noticeable difference in sound quality? (H7 has its eq and its a great differance I think?)

[@Sam-de8tc]

how is the headphone so far. is it good for gaming(fps)

[@gmacv3777]

@@Sam-de8tc When I bought it, I had some RMA issues due to Razer not supporting RMA in India & Amazon's replacement window was closed. It was only for the faulty extender cable which was fine as I connect the dongle directly on PC. Headphones is pretty good for both gaming & music/movies. Valorant & CSGO/CS2 worked flawlessly. I am able to hear better direction of footsteps than my HyperX Cloud Alpha wired. Later on, the dongle stopped loading up on boot 3/5 times. On reconnecting physically works fine. Guess I've to live with this until I get another headphones. But I definitely got a faulty piece and neither Razer or Amazon helped. If your country is not in Razer's RMA list & If you find anything faulty, make sure that you do a replacement before the Amazon's window closes.

How it compares with the Razer Kaira Pro for gaming? Mainly sound quality.

[@somestudent5253]

40mm triforce drivers on the Barracuda X vs 50mm triforce TITANIUM drivers on the Kaira Pro. No contest, sound quality is superior on the Kaira. You mainly buy the Barracuda X for the value and versatility.

[@eduardoreyes2128]

If headset auto shuts off first, before your PC sleeps or is turned off, the headset won't be detected the next time your PC wakes up or is turned on. You have to unplug and replug the receiver manually. It also has random microstutters. The earpads also get dirty easily. If you can live with that, then the Barracuda X 2022 is a really good deal.

[@Sam-de8tc]

how is it for games (fps) im not that detailed but hows the footsteps and so on.

[@ted3126]

Like your review, straight to the points and really clears the doubts I had before coming to this video !

[@AliFidan_nn]

I used this headset for 1 week. At the end of a week, the product the seller sold was defective, so I had to return it. The headset is very nice, but I don't know why Razer made such a move. In my country, you have to pay high prices for a wireless headset. Barracuda X is currently 1500TL cheapest ($81). Another problem was that there was interference in the microphone while charging, and also my earphones were broken. I did not do anything. There was a small crack. very sensitive. But remember this is a very cheap earphone, normal stuff for this price. At first, I asked why Razer made such a move. The reason I'm asking is if you're going to put out a headset like this, you should exit directly from the 2022 model. It was a move of Razer that I could not understand at all. But remember, technology is luck. Maybe you won't experience the problems I've experienced, I won experience what you're going through.
