The underlying headset hasn’t changed all that much, but the addition of RGB lighting will make the Barracuda X Chroma stand out for many budget-minded gamers.
Pros
Well-balaned audio for the cash
Fun Chroma effects don’t spoil the minimal design
Good value for a multiplatform headset
Cons
No 3.5mm wired listening and basic Bluetooth codec
RGB lights won’t justify the higher price for everyone
Just don’t have enough RGB lighting in your life? That’s not usually a problem for Razer, purveyor of all things illuminated, but its “they’re for gaming but wear ’em outside too if you want” Barracuda headset line-up has been conspicuously LED-free. Until now, that is. The Barracuda X Chroma finally brings fans the the glow-up they’ve been waiting for.
This multi-platform headset doesn’t just give your brain case an RGB recolour, either. It steps up from the entry-level Barracuda X with as much as 20 hours more battery life between charges. You pay a $30/£30 premium for it, but that still puts it at the more affordable end of the spectrum for gaming audio kit that’ll play nicely with PCs, consoles and mobile devices.
