Razer’s New Barracuda X Chroma Headphones with Customizable RGB Lighting and Enhanced Battery Life

Razer has introduced the Barracuda X Chroma, a premium version of its popular Barracuda X wireless gaming headset. With six customizable RGB lighting zones and improved battery life, the Barracuda X Chroma promises an immersive and stylish gaming experience. Available in black and white colorways, the headset is designed to deliver versatility, performance, and a standout aesthetic.

Enhanced RGB Lighting

One of the biggest upgrades in the Barracuda X Chroma is its integrated RGB lighting. Featuring Razer’s Chroma RGB technology, each earcup displays a glowing Razer logo encircled by customizable LEDs. These six RGB zones can display one of 16.8 million colors and can be customized through the Razer Chroma Studio desktop app or Razer Audio mobile app. With options to sync lighting effects across devices and respond dynamically to in-game events, the Barracuda X Chroma adds an exciting visual layer to gaming setups.

Battery Life and Charging

Razer has optimized the battery in the Barracuda X Chroma, offering up to 70 hours of continuous playback with the RGB lights off, or 35 hours with lights on. The fast-charging feature provides around six hours of playback on just a 15-minute charge. This means players can spend more time gaming with fewer interruptions, even when using power-intensive settings.

High-Quality Sound and Comfort

The Barracuda X Chroma features 40mm drivers, delivering crisp, powerful audio across a range of devices. With Razer’s HyperSpeed 2.4GHz wireless technology, the headphones promise ultra-low latency audio, ensuring clear sound quality for intense gaming sessions. The detachable HyperClear cardioid microphone is designed for voice clarity and is mounted on an adjustable arm, allowing for easy adjustments during gameplay.

Comfort is a priority with memory foam ear cushions that fit snugly while allowing for long gaming sessions without discomfort. Swiveling earcups further add to comfort by adapting to the user’s head shape.

Cross-Platform Compatibility

With compatibility across a wide range of devices, including PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Steam Deck, and mobile devices, the Barracuda X Chroma is versatile for gamers on various platforms. However, like its predecessor, it does not support Xbox’s wireless protocol, a feature that may disappoint some users.

Additional Features

Along with volume control and a dedicated mute button on the left earcup, the Barracuda X Chroma provides convenient, quick-access controls for streamlined gaming. At 285 grams, it’s slightly heavier than the original Barracuda X but still maintains a lightweight profile.

Conclusion

With its vibrant RGB lighting, extended battery life, cross-platform compatibility, and high-quality audio features, the Razer Barracuda X Chroma stands out as a versatile and stylish gaming headset. Available for preorder at ₹10500, it’s set to be a popular choice for gamers seeking both functionality and aesthetics in their equipment.
