here are the new Barracuda headsets, a mix between lifestyle and gaming

Almost a year after the release of the first model, Razer is doing it again and has just announced the arrival of the new range of Barracuda headsets, in Standard, Pro and X versions. As usual with the fluorescent green snake brand, as soon as a product is announced, it is immediately available for sale. From now on, it is therefore possible to be seduced by these three versions of this Barracuda headset, whose primary objective was to combine the performance of a gaming headset (low latency, clarity of the microphone) with the design of a headphones made for showing off in the street. We don’t know if the result will live up to the ambitions, but Razer is doing everything to combine the best of both worlds. In any case, we find state-of-the-art tools, such as hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) technology to isolate outside noise, Razer SmartSwitch Dual Wireless technology, allowing the headset to be connected to two devices at the same time. time and move from one to the other seamlessly. For example, it allows him to play on PC and at the touch of a button switch the Barracuda Pro headset to call pickup mode, without the need to unplug and reconnect a third device.

Razer lets us know that all Barracuda models are compatible with Razer HyperSpeed ​​Wireless (2.4 GHz) and Bluetooth 5.2 technologies, which is indeed useful for avoiding latency in games. Each model also incorporates new speakers which differ according to the model, but guarantee a spatialization of the sound. Moreover, since the THX brand has belonged to Razer since 2016, we also find the technology there, in order to provide excellent acoustics in games and a more immersive and realistic sound when it comes to music and movies.
