Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy currently have the latest 2022 version of the Razer Barracuda Xdown to just $69.99 (was $99.99). That’s a $30 discount on an already well-priced device (I rarely seewireless gaming headsetsthis good at under $100 anyway). It’s also the cheapest these cups have been, returning to a record discount for the first time this year and a position we’ve only seen a couple of times over Black Friday last year. All of that’s to say it’s a fantastic gaming headset going at a truly excellent price right now.
Wireless headsets generally start at around the $130 mark, though there are other budget options fromSteelSeriesthat occupy a similar price point to the Barracuda X. Picking up a Razer device with this level of quality for under $70 is a steal.

Should you buy the Razer Barracuda X?

Still, if you’re looking for a wireless headset for every other platform, and you still want some neat extra features baked in you’re not going to find a better price out there at the moment. Dual-Bluetooth, Razer app compatibility (though not full Synapse control), a solid microphone, and long-lasting comfort doesn’t often come this cheap and if I had $70 to spend on a new gaming headset this week I’d be putting it here in a heartbeat.
There is one headset that could out-do the Barracuda X in this price range, and that’s theRazer BlackShark V2 Hyperspeed. It’s built around the same high-end drivers and microphone as the luxuryBlackShark V2 Pro, but with cheaper build materials bringing the MSRP down to $129.99. You are getting better sound quality and a wider range if you can stretch to a three figure price tag, however it’s still worth noting that the BlackShark is nearly double the price of the Barracuda X with today’s discounts.
