Razer is expanding its Barracuda line of multi-platform gaming headsets. The new Razer Barracuda X Chroma combines all the usual Razer headset features enriched with vibrant Razer Chroma RGB. This headset is a direct result of feedback from the gaming community asking for more visually immersive features in their gaming setup.

“The Barracuda X Chroma is a direct result of feedback from our gaming community,” said Barrie Ooi, Head of Razer’s PC Gaming Division. “Gamers wanted more from their Barracuda experience, and we delivered—adding the dynamic flair of Razer Chroma RGB to meet the performance and aesthetic needs of immersion-focused gamers.”
