Razer’s Barracuda X features and details

Reviewed by our own Daniel Rubino on Windows Central, the Razer Barracuda X is a lightweight wireless gaming headset designed for multi-device users. It’s built for players who switch between devices often, supporting PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Android through its plug-and-play USB-C dongle.

It features Razer’s TriForce 40mm drivers, delivering crisp highs, balanced mids, and punchy bass, while the detachable HyperClear cardioid mic makes it easy to swap between chatting and casual listening. Battery life sits around 20 hours, giving it solid endurance for daily use.

Xbox users will need to connect via the 3.5mm audio jack, as the Barracuda X doesn’t support wireless on Microsoft’s console. Rubino also notes that the dongle can also be easy to misplace, but if that’s a small tradeoff you’re willing to make for such broad device compatibility, then it might not be much of an issue.

Commonly asked questions about the Barracuda X

Does it work with iPhone?

Unfortunately the iPhone does not support USB-C wireless audio transmission which is what the Barracuda X relies on.

Apple has also removed the 3.5mm jack from their lineup of iPhones as well, so unless you're rocking a much older device the Barracuda X will not be compatible.

What's the battery life like?

In our review, we reported that the device gets around 20 hours of battery life and can be topped up with an included Type C to Type A charger.

What is long usage like?

The headset was tested very vigorously by Rubino in our review, and he notes that the device is lightweight and features memory foam earcups, making them comfortable for long sessions.

Can you use it on Xbox?

Unfortunately, the device does not work with Xbox wirelessly. This is due to Xbox having the same similar restrictions as iPhone devices, however, it will work wired through the 3.5mm controller port.

Is Razer’s Barracuda X right for you?

As with any headset, it depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re a multiplatform gamer or casual user who switches between devices often, the Barracuda X is hard to beat. Its lightweight design, strong wireless performance, and multiple color options make it a great fit for anyone who values versatility and comfort.

If you mostly stick to Xbox or don’t need cross-device support, this might not be the perfect match. Still, at its current price, the Barracuda X offers impressive value for a headset that works this smoothly across so many platforms. It’s an easy recommendation for most players.

If you want to dig deeper before deciding, check out Daniel Rubino’s full Razer Barracuda X review on our site for a more detailed look. He covers everything from microphone performance and ergonomics to how its 7.1 surround sound enhances both gaming and everyday listening.

It wouldn’t be a Razer product without a pink variant. For those who prefer something a bit more stylish or playful, the Razer Barracuda X – Pink Edition delivers the same versatile performance in a softer, standout finish.

Whilst it’s a little more expensive than the standard models, I’ve always been a sucker for limited editions — and Razer delivers here with a striking PUBG Edition of the Barracuda X. It features a unique design with parachuting figures and PUBG’s signature yellow accents, making it a standout choice for fans of the series.
