Razer
has
announced
a
new
version
of
its
Barracuda
X
wireless
gaming
headset
that
adds
a
glowing
Razer
logo
and
a
ring
of
color-changing
LEDs
outlining
each
earcup.
The
new
Barracuda
X
Chroma
headphones
are
now
available
for
preorder
in
a
black
or
white
colorway
for
$129.99
and
are
expected
to
ship
in
late
October
or
early
November.
As
with
other
Razer
headphones
featuring
RGB
LEDs,
the
Barracuda
X
Chroma’s
accent
lighting
can
be
customized
through
the
Razer
Chroma
Studio
desktop
app
or
the
Razer
Audio
mobile
app.
The
headphones
feature
six
zones
that
can
be
set
to
one
of
16.8
million
colors
to
match
the
motif
of
a
gaming
room
or
other
hardware,
or
you
can
choose
from
preset
effects,
including
lighting
that
corresponds
to
“over
300
games.”

The
Barracuda
X
Chroma
can
wirelessly
connect
to
devices
over
Bluetooth
or
using
Razer’s
2.4GHz HyperSpeed
connection
for
reduced
lag.
The
company
says
the
headphone’s
battery
life
has
been
boosted
to
up
to
70
hours
with
a
2.4GHz
connection
and
the
lighting
turned
off,
but
that’s
halved
to
just
35
hours
with
the
RGB
LEDs
running.
A
15-minute
charge
will
provide
around
six
hours
of
playtime,
but
when
using
Bluetooth,
battery
life
will
potentially
be
even
longer.

Other
features
include
memory
foam
cushions
on
swiveling
earcups,
40mm
drivers,
a
detachable
HyperClear
cardioid
microphone
on
an
adjustable
arm,
and
a
mute
button
with
a
volume
dial
integrated
into
the
left
earcup.
At
285
grams,
the
headphones
are
also
slightly
heavier
than
the
original
Barracuda
X
which
weighed
in
at
250
grams.
The
Barracuda
X
Chroma
are
compatible
with
PCs,
Macs,
Nintendo
Switch,
Sony
Playstation,
Steam
Deck,
and
Android
and
iOS
mobile
devices.
But
like
their
predecessor,
they
still
don’t
support
the
Xbox’s
wireless
protocol.
