The wide circular design causes any user to adapt, in addition, at the extremes of the headquarters of adjustable extension of up to 33 mm on each sidewith small jumps of perfectly marked distance.
You can see that internal grips and central circumference They are made of steel For greater resistance, integrating by a central tube the cables that go to each pavilion.
These pavilions bind to the headband through a mechanism that allows a Vertical turn about 100º approximately.
The fixing system is done by means of a “U” -shaped arc with the ability to Horizontal turn of about 15-20º inward, to adapt to the curvature of the head.
The pavilions of Razer Barracuda X Chroma They have a perfect oval design, with 90 mm wide and 100 mm highusing closed plastic exterior housing, in which lighting system is integrated Razer Chroma with 6 manageable zones.
The ear contact zone consists of It isDense Pumasurrounded by breathable cloth, an option much better than synthetic skin. In addition, they isolate very well from outside noise.
The thickness and height of this foam is 20 mmleaving a 60 x 40 mm hole inside to place the ear. In my case it enters perfectly without almost rubbing the pads, while the headset base is not padded.
In the left pavilion we find all the Control system with:

- LED Ignition/drum indicator
- USB-C of battery charge

PROPERTY AND SOUND EXPERIENCE
Now we focus attention on the benefits of the Razer Barracuda X Chromaa headset that is raised with very balanced characteristics and great power, although still below the Razer Kraken V4but no matter how little.
Equip some 40 mm driver With technology Razer Triforcelike the upper model, registering a typical response range of 20 to 20,000 Hzthe audible spectrum of the human being.
This allows to obtain a lot of nuances and sound performance with Very deep seriousas well as balanced means and acute. His Sensitivity of 96 dB They allow you to reach a high volume, more than our ear must endure, and With hardly any distortion.

The port USB-C will be used only for load of its integrated battery, whose capacity is not revealed, although its duration of up to 70 h in 2.4 GHz without RGB, or up to 35 h with RGB on. Through Bluetooth it should have even more duration.
As for the microphone Razer Hyperclearrecords audio in unidirectional pattern (cardioid) with a Sensitivity of -42 dB and frequency of Answer from 100 to 10,000 Hzusual in these cases, to mainly register the human voice.
Its performance is as good as we expected, with a little radio or distant voice effect so to speak, but for normal performance in video calls and game chats they have more than remarkable quality.
This headset It does not have noise cancellation systemtherefore, we do not consider them as the most appropriate option to use them on the street, since the awareness of the environment, or soundproofing is simply the one that the pavilions give passively.
Software management
We continue with a section as important as software management, more specifically with Synapse In Windows.
In the first section we have the Basic adjustments As volume or surround sound mode, whose extension we must download separately. In this case, the control buttons of the Razer Barracuda X Chroma They do not support adjustments.
The following section allows Adjust the equalizer With 10 frequency bands, including predefined profiles.
About the microphone, we can only Adjust the gain and activate the return mode to listen to us in the headphones, which is done without any delay.
