Great Headset [Posted on 2008-05-03]
The Razer HP-1 Barracuda headset is very good headset, It sounds excellent with my Creative X-FI using the attached Dongle, but even better when paired with the Razer AC-1 Soundcard, It does however have a weakness in audio quality and "3d" sound when used with only stereo input "as on my laptops built in audio" so if you are to purchase this item make sure you have 5.1 capable sound card. As for comfort it is Good for long term use. The Microphone is kinda cheap feeling and plugs in on the bottom of the headset.
This headset sucks! [Posted on 2008-05-11]
Usually Razer products are above average in performance. but the Razer Barracuda Gaming headset didn't do any good. and if you wear glasses the headset pushes your glasses into your temple, causing bad headaches. hope someone finds this review useful -Gube
Not so good. [Posted on 2008-05-23]
First off. My fisrt set had a bad mic out the box. I had to call support to figure out that they had a 10% failur rate. I went back and exchanged it hopping for a non deffective Unit. The second set worked fine. Untill the metal part that hold the right earpiece broke. Completly Snaped This was 3 days after getting the headset. It broke when i was getting it of my head. No more for me.
I was very upset becuase the hole motife of my computer is the razer logo i have the mouse the keyboard stickers. But now i am rocken a diffrent headset.
Pros':
They look nice
Have nice specs
Con's:
Cheap manufacturing and shotty workmenship
10% failur rate
Meh, for the price get something else. [Posted on 2008-05-29]
I have had these for roughly a year now.
Pros: They sound pretty good but not fantastic, but you'll expect that from a headphone in this price range. Comfortable to wear for extended periods. Microphone is detachable.
Cons: 1.The volume control brick is just that a BRICK, way too big and obtrusive. In addition, the wire going in and out of it is oriented wrong when clipped to your belt or pants. This is a huge design flew.
2. The microphone only sticks out about 2 inches. It picks up a lot of static and doesnt do a great job of picking up on your voice. So called noise cancelling mic feature does not work. It also easily falls off.
3. Sound adjustment. There are 5 sound adjustment dials on the volume brick. Front, rear, center, bass, and master volume (big one). The center and bass dials does absolutely nothing. First I thought I had my plugs connected wrong but it wasnt that. It just does not adjust anything. May be a defeat.
4. Terrible customer support. "For Gamers by gamers" guess their customer support is too busy playing games to help customers. Good luck getting hold of one.
Conclusion: Buy something else, they now sit on my shelf and I no longer use them. Would highly recommend getting a good quality stereo headphone instead like Steelpad 5H or going with a Sennheiser.
Great product, great sound! [Posted on 2008-06-12]
I really love my headphones.... a lot. My gaming experiance has totally changed and I really have an advantage now with this precise sound. I can easily pick people up walking into the room and hear them sneaking through the bushes/around walls/etc. I don't have any of the microphone problems other people have (I doubled the mic input in windows). The only thing I need now is the Razer sound card that works with this headset. I could do a lot more sound configuration with that card.
