X Razer has added RGB to yet another product that probably didn’t need it, but it does look cool

What you need to know

  • Razer divides its gaming headsets into three distinct families, with the Barracuda line being dedicated to multi-platform, multi-medium listening.
  • Today, Razer announced a refresh version of the entry-level Barracuda X, bringing with it a handful of upgrades.
  • Number one on the list is the addition of Razer Chroma RGB lighting in each earcup, which is totally expected from Razer at this point.
  • The update puts the new Barracuda X Chroma in a bit of a strange position in the larger lineup, but I’ve gone hands-on with the headset early to give you my first impressions.

I think I speak for all of us when I say it’s pretty much expected that Razer will add RGB lighting to literally anything, and lately that has increasingly meant its gaming headsets. Previously confined to the feature-oriented Kraken line, Razer has announced a “Chroma-fied” version of its multi-platform, multi-media Barracuda X wireless headset, appropriately named the Razer Barracuda X Chroma.

The new headset is now available worldwide for $129.99 at Razer, charging you a $30 premium over the standard Barracuda X for the included upgrades. I’ve gone hands-on with the headset early (and my full review is coming soon), and my first impressions is that this headset feels a bit strange in Razer’s current lineup, but nonetheless feels like a solid option for those who highly value the aesthetic features like the RGB lighting.
