If you are wondering if this is a good headset, the answer is yes, and you should buy it. Keep reading if you want the details.
I watched hours of YouTube reviews looking for the wireless headset that would strike a perfect balance between build, sound, and mic quality. My previous set was a Logitech G432 wired headset. It suffered from poor build quality (you could hear plastic creaking when you turn your head) and the normal wired-headset issues (restricted mobility, a cable that gets tangled etc).
The Barracuda X is an amazing deal for the money.
- Sound Quality: Great. I’m not an audiophile, I know literally nothing about music. So if you’re similar then you’ll love these. If you know a lot about sound and music you’ll probably think they are a little heavy on the bass, but still good. at least that’s what a lot of reviews said. If you’re an average joe like me you won’t care.
- Mic Quality: Awesome. I know some reviews have complained this is a weak point but I’m telling you the mic quality is stellar for a wireless set. Of all the mic tests I listened to on YouTube this set was the best. It even sounded better than some $200 sets!
- Build Quality: Great. There is no plastic creaking sound when you’re handling them or turning your head while wearing them. They feel very light but still “solidly” built. They don’t look like a gamer headset so you can take them on trips or public places without worrying about standing out or looking like a weirdo.
- Comfort: Awesome. I have a small head and they fit amazing. Not too tight, not too loose.
- Battery Life: the 50hr battery life is no joke. I have used them frequently (1-5hrs a day) after the first charge and have not needed to recharge them a week later.
- Connectivity: I had no issues using the 2.5ghz, Bluetooth, or 3.5mm jack. The mic quality was best with the 2.5ghz, and suffered a bit with the Bluetooth, which is to be expected.
Summary: If, like me, you are wading through a proverbial ocean of headset options and not sure which one is the best value, then just get these and you’ll be happy. This headset checks all the boxes.
