Razer Barracuda X
With the Barracuda X, Razer brings a one-fits-all solution to the table: thanks to mini-USB-C wireless transmitters, the Barracuda X is supposed to excel with PCs, Playstations, Switches as well as Android devices. We tried it out.
The brand for gamers, and of course headphones play an important role here. The American company attaches particular importance to design, but they also have a lot to offer technologically. Wired, Bluetooth and surround headphones, earphones and headsets are part of the California-based company’s portfolio in the audio segment.

With the Hammerhead True Wireless Pro, Razer has expanded its in-house headphone range with cable-free in-ears that can actively suppress and amplify external noise and offer a latency-reduced wireless connection for mobile games or movies. Using the app connection, the touch control and the bass-strong basic sound of the headphones can be adjusted via 10-band EQ. Alternatively, a much more balanced tuning is available with the THX mode.
The Razer Opus surprises us in our test as closed wireless headphones with a modern design and compact sound that, for everyday headphones, do almost everything that could be wished of them. And the reasons for this are many and varied...
With the Xbox Series X/S, Microsoft has already entered the 4th generation of consoles. Since the distinction between the generations is no longer so clear and Microsoft is also available on Android with their subscription service "Gamepass" thanks to "Project xCloud", Razer has released the Kaira Pro for Xbox, a headset for all uses that have something to do with Microsoft's gaming consoles. So it doesn't matter whether you've already arrived at the current generation (Series X or S), are still in the last generation (One, One S and One X) or play via the cloud on a mobile device, the new headset from Razer works everywhere. Of course, this also applies to Windows 10, after all, it's essentially all about Microsoft.
"Beating its predecessor in all areas". This could have been Razer's motto when they launched the BlackShark V2 headset. To use appropriate language: mission accomplished!
