The Razer Barracuda X Chroma is a wireless gaming headset for players who want a low-latency connection at home and Bluetooth listening on the move. Its Phantom White finish suits a coordinated gaming setup, while the lightweight design also makes it practical for commutes and everyday listening.

Razer SmartSwitch Dual Wireless connects to a 2.4 GHz device and a Bluetooth device at the same time, so you can switch between game audio and calls without re-pairing. The six-zone Chroma RGB earcup lighting adds customisable effects, while TriForce 40 mm drivers separate high, mid and low frequencies for clearer detail. A detachable HyperClear cardioid microphone handles voice chat when needed. With lighting off on a 2.4 GHz connection, battery life is up to 70 hours.
