The Razer Barracuda X is a wireless gaming headset for players who want one set of headphones for gaming at home and listening on the move. Its multi-platform connections also suit people who switch between a gaming device and a Bluetooth phone.

Razer SmartSwitch Dual Wireless supports connection through the USB-C dongle or Bluetooth 5.2, while a 3.5 mm connection provides a wired option. The 40 mm drivers handle game audio, music and video, and the detachable unidirectional microphone can be removed when you want a more streamlined headset for travel. On-earcup controls provide volume adjustment and microphone mute.
