Even after hours of use, the headset remains comfortable on the ears, making it ideal for everyday use – whether at home or on the go.

Impressive sound quality and flexibility
Razer’s TriForce 40mm drivers deliver an excellent audio experience that ranges from deep bass to clear highs. Whether you’re immersed in a game or listening to music, the sound is always impressive. Clear communication is ensured by the detachable Razer HyperClear Cardioid microphone, which is particularly useful in competitive gaming. This ensures that your teammates can always hear you clearly and is also practical for everyday use, for example during phone calls.
Long-lasting battery for uninterrupted gaming sessions
With a battery life of up to 70 hours, the Barracuda X Chroma offers a 40 percent increase compared to the previous model.
