The Razer Barracuda X ($99.99) is a wireless gaming headset that works with nearly anything, thanks to its USB-C transmitter. You can plug it into your PC, Android phone, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch and instantly get wireless sound. It’s high-quality sound, too, and the mic captures voice communication with loads of clarity. That’s a comprehensive package (except for iPhone and Xbox users) for a reasonable price, so the Razer Barracuda X earns our Editors’ Choice award for wireless gaming headsets. Light and Clean The headset is basic and black, similar to the Blackshark V2 in design, but with flat earcups instead of rounded ones. Every outside surface is matte black plastic, except the earpads and headband padding that are fabric- and faux-leather-wrapped, respectively.

The Barracuda X's featherweight nature makes it feel less solid than the Blackshark ...

Last year’s Barracuda X from Razer impressed us with its fantastic value for a wireless gaming headset. For $99.99, it offered a comfortable fit, a solid build, good sound quality, an excellent mic, and plenty of connection options thanks to its USB-C transmitter. The only thing it truly lacked was Bluetooth connectivity, and despite this the headset still earned our Editors’ Choice award. Razer tweaked the 2022 Barracuda X with one major change: Bluetooth. That means it can now connect to your phone, PC, Nintendo Switch, or any other Bluetooth-enabled device without the transmitter. That’s all while keeping the same performance, price, and design. With that in mind, it easily earns our Editors’ Choice recommendation for budget-friendly wireless gaming headsets. The Same Look and Feel The updated Barracuda X—available in black, pink, or white—is physically identical to the previous version. It’s Razer’s most unassuming headset, with plain, oblong plastic cups with flat backs, a...
