Sound qualityĪt this point, Razer knows how to create a gaming headset, so it’s no surprise that audio quality is a strong point. It’s not something you’ll want to haphazardly toss on your desk after you’re done wearing them. That presentation helps make the Barracuda Pro feel more like a premium product rather than a high-end toy for gamers. It includes a small compartment that holds its various dongles and wires. The headphones come with a compact carrying case too, which is a nice touch.
By comparison, the Razer Kaira Pro is a tighter fit with firmer cups and it doesn’t wiggle around nearly as much. If I nod my head forward, I notice that the headband slides down the top of my head rather easily.
Though it’s a relatively loose fit too, at least on my head. It’s a comfortable fit, with oblong earcups that are exceptionally soft. My initial reaction when unboxing them was “thank God.” It’s simply nice to have a good gaming headset that I could wear out in public without drawing attention to myself. It’s a solid black pair of cans with no glowing accents and minimal decals (the Razer logo appears on each side, but it’s extremely subtle). Perhaps the most important feature of the Barracuda Pro is that it looks like a perfectly normal pair of headphones. It just comes with a few key trade-offs and quirks, including poor microphone quality and a high price tag. The Barracuda Pro is a solid option for players who want a more multi-purpose gaming headset with a discrete look. It’s an admirable pitch, though sometimes those two ideas are a little at odds with one another. It’s an attempt to fuse the specific qualities of a gaming headset into a more lifestyle-friendly design. Rather than creating a futuristic headset with glowing green accents, Razer’s latest is as unassuming as a pair of Bose or Sony wireless headphones. Though Razer is very much an instigator of that trend, the Barracuda Pro is aimed at people like me.
