Whats more, I also found it more comfortable than one such model, the Razer Kraken V4.
The matte finish and elegant form help make this a smart-looking headset.
The fit and comfort levels are up there with thebest wireless gaming headsetsaround.
Even glasses wearers should find theres enough clearance and cushioning to accommodate the arms of their frames comfortably.
The Barracuda X Chroma offers a balanced and clear sound.
I also found it more comfortable than the Kraken.
At this price, it sits well within the gaming headset market.
It also has some useful features, such as ANC.
However, its considerably more expensive than the Barracuda X Chroma.
The smooth, matt finish adds a dash of elegance too.
The whole headset is quite wide, but I wouldnt describe it as bulky.
Its also one of the most comfortable gaming headsets Ive tried.
The headband is more cushioned than the earcups, and I hardly felt it across my head.
The headband adjustments are also easy to make while remaining secure.
In fact, the entire headset is engineered to the high standards typical of Razers peripherals.
The Barracuda X Chroma can be tweaked using Synapse, Razers peripheral software.
you’ve got the option to alter the existing sound profiles, or create a custom one.
Like Chroma, this opens in another app window, adding to the inconvenience.
This can be a little off-putting but not egregious enough to ruin the experience entirely.
The sound quality appears much the same too.
The SmartSwitch feature also works well enough, moving quickly between devices connected via Bluetooth and HyperSpeed Wireless.
But for gaming, its still perfectly usable.
After several days of varied use between Bluetooth and HyperSpeed modes, it only depleted to 54%.
Should I buy the Razer Barracuda X Chroma?
It offers superb sound, even when listening to music, as well as great comfort levels.
It can be found for a mere fraction of its original price too, making it even better value.
It also has ANC, but we didnt think this was its strongest suit.
I connected to these platforms via Bluetooth and the HyperSpeed Wireless Dongle where I could.
