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!

@@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.

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

@eduardoreyes2128 Жыл бұрын

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.
