Popular gaming brand Razer today released the new Barracuda, Barracuda Pro, and the refreshed Barracuda X in the Philippines. These are the company's newest gaming headsets promising to provide cutting-edge technologies to bring gamers the "purest sound" whether at home or out and about as well as the company's latest proprietary technologies such as SmartSwitch, and THX AAA.

All Barracuda models also support both Razer HyperSpeed Wireless (2.4GHz) and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity. First is the refreshed Barracuda X. This audio device boasts a lightweight body, 40mm Razer Triforce Drivers, support for 7.1 Surround Sound, added Full Bluetooth via SmartSwitch Dual Wireless, and double the battery life at 50 hours on a single charge.

Next is the Barracuda with a FlowKnit Memory Foam headband and earcup padding that allow for long-term comfortable wear, 50mm TriForce Titanium Drivers, THX Spatial Audio,  Integrated Beamforming microphone with noise cancellation, Razer SmartSwitch Dual Wireless connectivity, and 3.5mm analog input support. It also has on-headset controls easily within reach for access to the headset functions.

Meanwhile, the Barracuda Pro comes with the new TriForce Bio-Cellulose 50mm drivers designed to deliver a rich, natural and detailed soundscape, THX Achromatic Audio Amplifier (THX AAATM) for low distortion sound with improved signal-to-noise ratio, a greater dynamic range, better power output, and more detail and clarity,  THX Spatial Audio, Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation Technology (ANC) for enhanced noise isolation, and Razer SmartSwitch Dual Wireless that can be connected to two devices at the same time in a single button press. This also has "crystal clear voice communication" thanks to its dual integrated beamforming noise-canceling microphones.

The Barracuda Pro is the hybrid headset that does it all, said Chris Mitchell, Head of the PC Gaming Division at Razer. Whether it’s your main gaming setup at home or your favorite music playlists on the go, the Barracuda Pro combines the fuss-free convenience of lifestyle headphones along with the high-performance gaming features you'd expect in a Razer gaming headset, to create a no-compromise experience, packaged in a sleek, premium design.
