Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today expands its Barracuda line of multi-platform gaming headsets, with the introduction of the Razer Barracuda X Chroma. This new headset, enriched with vibrant Razer Chroma RGB, caters to feedback from the gaming community asking for more visually immersive features in their gaming setup.

"The Barracuda X Chroma is a direct result of feedback from our gaming community," said Barrie Ooi, Head of Razer's PC Gaming Division. "Gamers wanted more from their Barracuda experience, and we delivered—adding the dynamic flair of Razer Chroma RGB to meet the performance and aesthetic needs of immersion-focused gamers."




Immersive Lighting and Audio Experience
The Barracuda X Chroma introduces Razer Chroma RGB to the Barracuda line, offering gamers the perfect blend of excellent audio performance and captivating visual flair. With six zones of customizable Chroma RGB lighting via Razer Chroma Studio or the Razer Audio App, users can enjoy a rich selection of effects, enhancing their gaming setup with 16.8 million color options and integration with over 300 games.

Seamless Connectivity Enhanced by Razer Innovation
Equipped with Razer SmartSwitch Dual Wireless technology, the Barracuda X Chroma seamlessly transitions between Razer HyperSpeed for intense gaming sessions and Bluetooth for on-the-go connectivity. This ensures a flawless audio experience across devices without the need for any repeated pairing, making it the ideal headset for both home and mobile use.

Designed for Lightweight Comfort and Durability
The headset features ergonomic design choices, including swiveling ear cups wrapped in breathable memory foam cushions, providing lightweight, all-day comfort and durability. Whether gaming for hours or traveling, the Barracuda X Chroma remains comfortable and portable, meeting the diverse needs of immersive gamers.

Superior Audio Performance Across All Platforms
Razer's TriForce 40 mm drivers deliver exceptional sound clarity across all frequencies, ensuring deep immersion whether gaming or enjoying media. The detachable Razer HyperClear Cardioid Mic offers further improved crystal-clear communication, essential for both competitive gameplay and everyday calls.

Long-Lasting Battery for Extended Use
With up to 70 hours of battery life, the Barracuda X Chroma now offers a 40% increase in performance over its predecessor. A brief 15-minute charge provides approximately 6 hours of playtime. This stamina, combined with quick USB Type-C charging, keeps gamers connected and in the action even through the longest gaming marathons or extensive travel.

As the newest addition to the Barracuda line, the Razer Barracuda X Chroma stands as a testament to Razer's commitment to community feedback, offering gamers a headset that not only sounds incredible but looks spectacular whether at home or on the go.

The Barracuda X Chroma is a really innovative headset! Yet the idea of having RGB lighting to match to the overall gaming thing is appealing to me. Smarter still, the battery life is uniquely longer than most laptops to support the long sessions we usually have. Razer seems to care about gamers, which is always great to see instead of implementing things that are unnecessary or get in the way. Hope it would work great in practical application too!
