I really love having active noise cancelling on a gaming headset, and the Barracuda Pro actually does a pretty good job with its noise cancelling. It’s quite clear that the technology is there given the headset can do both connections at once, and thankfully it is really easy to swap between them (with a button on the headset), but it feels like a missed opportunity to me. With other headsets that have dual simultaneous connection, I like to be able to watch a few Tiktoks between round of games, listens to quick audio memos or listen to music without having to take my headset off. Whilst it sounds like a minor thing, I actually really would have liked the ability to have audio sources coming through Bluetooth and dongle at once. You can also set it so that a call can automatically switch, which you might either love or hate. Razer has opted to make it so that whilst you can connect to both your gaming console and a Bluetooth device (such as your phone) at the same time, you have to swap between them and can’t listen to both at the same time. Just like both Sony/SteelSeries headsets, it can also connect to a Bluetooth device, but it’s handled a little bit differently to these two devices. The Barracuda Pro come with a USB-C dongle and is compatible with your PC, PS5/PS4 and Nintendo Switch. It felt big on my head, but not necessarily in an uncomfortable way. The stainless steel headband is able to be expanded out to fit a wide variety of head sizes, the headband has a good amount of cushioning and the memory foam cushions are not only comfortable but do a great job or blocking noise out (even without nose cancelling). The design of the headset is all black and quite sleek looking, although quite a bit chunkier and heavier than a few of the counterparts that I’ve used, but I actually dig the design. Much like the SteelSeries Arcos Nova Pro Wireless, Razer’s very clear objective with with the design of this headset both aesthetically and feature-wise was to make it so that it was a great gaming headset, but also one that would double as the perfect headset for work, play or travel. It’s now Razer’s turn to do the same with the brand new high-end Razer Barracuda Pro. It feels like everybody is going through a complete refresh of its headset range at the moment with the likes of SteelSeries and Sony both introducing high-end models with noise cancelling.
