Razer Barracuda X Wireless Gaming & Mobile Headset (PC, Playstation, Switch, Android, iOS): 2.4GHz Wireless + Bluetooth - Lightweight - 40mm Drivers - Detachable Mic - 50 Hr Battery - PUBG Edition / RZ04-04430500-R3M1 / RZ04-04430500-R3M1

The Razer Barracuda X Wireless Gaming & Mobile Headset connects over 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth, covering PC, PlayStation, Switch, Android and iOS from one headset. It runs 40mm drivers, carries a detachable microphone and lasts up to 50 hours on a single charge. Ultra-low latency keeps game audio lined up with what is on screen rather than trailing behind it.

This is the PUBG Edition of the Barracuda X, built on the same ultra-lightweight multi-platform hardware as the standard model. The drivers, the wireless system and the detachable microphone are unchanged, so the edition is a visual treatment rather than a different specification.

The Barracuda X is a 4-in-1 wireless headset, designed to work across PC, PlayStation and Android without a separate model for each. Dual wireless means you can hold a 2.4GHz link to a gaming machine and use Bluetooth for a phone, rather than choosing one connection type at purchase.

Setup is a matter of plugging the USB-C wireless transceiver into your device, after which the headset pairs automatically. There is no software download and no pairing sequence to work through, and a 3.5mm analog cable comes in the box for the times a wired connection is easier.

Beyond PC and PlayStation, the Barracuda X connects to Nintendo Switch, Android and iOS devices. That coverage is the practical argument for the USB-C transceiver: it plugs into a handheld or a phone directly, where a full-size USB dongle would need an adapter.

At 250 grams the Barracuda X sits at the lighter end of full-size gaming headsets, and the ergonomic design is built around extended wear rather than short sessions. Weight is the factor that decides whether a headset is still comfortable three hours in, ahead of padding thickness or clamp force.

A single charge runs the Barracuda X for up to 50 hours, which covers a week of evening sessions without reaching for a cable. Long battery life changes how you use a wireless headset, because charging becomes something you plan occasionally rather than nightly.

Razer's patented TriForce technology lets its acoustic engineers calibrate each 40mm driver in three parts, handling high, mid and low frequencies separately. Tuning the ranges individually is what produces richer treble and a vibrant midrange without the bass smearing over the detail above it.

The result of the TriForce tuning is deep bass alongside excellent clarity, so an explosion does not bury the footsteps behind it. In a competitive shooter that separation is what lets you place a sound rather than simply hear it.

Voice duties go to the Razer HyperClear cardioid microphone, a pattern that listens forward toward your mouth. It is the microphone type used where accurate voice reproduction matters more than capturing the room, which is exactly the requirement on a team call mid-match.

The microphone unplugs from the headset entirely, turning the Barracuda X from a gaming headset into a pair of wireless headphones for a commute. That detachability is why one headset covers both the desk and the phone in your pocket.

By minimising sound arriving from the sides and rear, the cardioid pattern improves voice capture and suppresses the noise around you. Teammates hear your callout rather than your keyboard, your fan or whatever else is happening in the room behind you.

The 2.4GHz connection runs at ultra-low latency, so sound arrives in step with the action on screen. Latency is the reason competitive players historically avoided wireless headsets, and it is the specification that decides whether a wireless connection is usable for gaming at all.

Between 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth and the included 3.5mm analog cable, the Barracuda X covers every connection a device is likely to offer. A console at home, a phone on the move and a wired handheld all work from the same headset without buying a second one.

The Barracuda X brings together a 250-gram build, up to 50 hours of battery and 4-in-1 wireless coverage across PC, PlayStation, Switch, Android and iOS. That combination is what makes it a single headset for a whole setup rather than one tied to a single machine.
