Does it work with PS5 and Switch?

Yes. The USB-C dongle works with PS5, PS4, PC and Switch in docked or handheld USB-C mode, and Bluetooth covers phones and tablets.

Can it connect to two devices at once?

No. It stores one 2.4GHz and one Bluetooth connection and SmartSwitch toggles between them, but it does not play both at once like multipoint.

How long does the battery last?

Razer rates up to 50 hours of use. Heavy 2.4GHz gaming sessions drain it faster than Bluetooth listening.

Is the microphone detachable?

Yes. The boom mic plugs in and out, so you can use the headset as plain headphones on the go.

Does 7.1 surround work on consoles?

No. The 7.1 surround is a PC feature through Razer Synapse; consoles get stereo over the dongle or cable.

Yes. A detachable 3.5mm cable is included for wired listening when the battery runs out.

Our take on the Razer Barracuda X (2022)

The Razer Barracuda X (2022) is a lightweight over-ear gaming headset that works across PC, PlayStation and mobile. It pairs a 2.4GHz USB-C dongle with Bluetooth and adds Razer SmartSwitch for quick toggling between the two. The 40mm drivers, 7.1 surround on PC and detachable boom mic cover gaming and calls, while the 3.5mm cable keeps it usable with anything wired. At 8.8 oz it is lighter than most rivals with a flip mic, though it lacks multipoint and active noise cancellation. Owners rate it highly for comfort and flexibility; critics note the plastic build and modest isolation.
