Versatile Wireless Gaming Headset

The Razer Barracuda X 2022 Edition Mercury connects to PC, PlayStation and mobile devices through USB Type-C 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.2 or a 3.5 mm analogue cable. It weighs 250 g and uses 40 mm TriForce drivers with a 20 Hz–20 KHz frequency response and 32 ohm impedance. The detachable HyperClear cardioid microphone covers 100 Hz–10 KHz for clear voice capture.

Lightweight Build and Multi-Mode Connectivity

Ultra-soft FlowKnit memory foam earcups swivel for comfort during long sessions, while passive noise isolation reduces ambient sound. SmartSwitch Dual Wireless lets the headset move instantly between 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth modes without re-pairing. A 1.5 m cable provides a wired fallback when wireless is not wanted.

Check Compatibility Before Buying

7.1 surround sound works only on Windows 10 64-bit, so other operating systems will receive stereo output. The USB Type-C wireless dongle requires a Type-C port or the supplied Type-A adapter for PlayStation use. Buyers who need active noise cancellation or simultaneous multi-device Bluetooth pairing should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What does the USB Type-C 2.4GHz wireless link cap in practice?

The 2.4GHz USB Type-C dongle delivers low-latency stereo audio to PC and PlayStation; 7.1 surround processing is only available on Windows 10 64-bit.

What physical clearance does the headset need to fit?

At 250 g with 40 mm drivers and swivelling earcups, it requires enough head width for the FlowKnit cushions to seal without pressure.

How is the detachable HyperClear cardioid mic installed and what step is often missed?

Align the mic boom with the left earcup port, push until it clicks, then flip the mute switch; forgetting to seat it fully mutes the mic.
