Connection options are a big thing for the Razer Barracuda X headset
Razer have announced the Barracuda X, an all new headset that will work with almost almost every platform, through its use of 3.5mm connections and a USB-C adaptor.
The Barracuda X comes fully equipped with all necessary accessories, including the Razer HyperSpeed Wireless USB-C Dongle, with which the Barracuda X can be seamlessly connected to a PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch or Android device.
“Many of the headsets out there that are marketed for multi-platform use can only achieve this using a wired connection,” says Alvin Cheung, Senior Vice President of Razer’s Peripherals Business Unit. “The Razer Barracuda X combines high-performance gaming features and true 4-in-1 wireless connectivity with the design and ease of use of lifestyle headphones. The result is a single, multi-purpose headset, ideal for all-day-long gaming no matter which platform you are using or where you are."
Plus, something that makes me happy, it will also features a detachable Razer HyperClear Cardioid Mic, which when connected supplies ultra-clear voice comms, regardless of the platform you're gaming on. The microphone on the Barracuda X offers improved voice isolation excluding more ambient noise from the back and sides, increased sensitivity for greater low frequency response, and an optimized housing for added clarity and accurate voice pick-up.
