The Razer Barracuda HP-1 Gaming Headphones provide excellent 5.1 surround sound for games. The removable microphone is great for online multiplayer and VoIP applications. The built-in amp is powered by a USB connection, rather than the AC power found o...
The headphones dont sound as good with movies and music as they do with games. You must buy Razers sound card to truly optimize audio.
The Razer Barracuda HP-1 Gaming Headphones are great for gameplay, but there are better options for music and movies.
Very comfortable; pretty good microphone; unique one-plug DVI connection for Razers sound card.
5.1 effect is mild at best; audio quality not as good as stereo headphones at this price.
Virtualized 5.1 from a good sound card with stereo headphones delivers a better surround effect, and youll get better audio quality with a $130 pair of stereo cans. ...
Abstract: While this was Razers first attempt at creating gaming headphones, let alone any audio products, they certainly put their best foot forward with the Barracuda HP-1. From the build quality to the audio performance, the Razer Barracuda HP-1 was able to...
Sound quality is great, LED illumination on headset and controller, Sound precision is great for gamers, Very comfortable
Inline controller is a bit big
Well I think Razer has done a good job of establishing themselves in the audio market. For a "first try" at headphones they have knocked it out of the park. The HP-1s cover the 2 most important things when it comes to headphones. They sound great and...
Excellent Design, Excellent Surround Reproduction, Lightweight for its Class, Unique and Innovative Features, Easy Installation and Setup, Can be used right out of the Box, No Software Required, Craftsmanship
A bit Pricey
While we were not able to test both the Barracuda AC-1 Gaming Audio Card in conjunction with the Barracuda HP-1 Gaming Headphones, our experience was still excellent with our analog sound card. Razers digital solution promises even more sonic purity w...
I’ve got a few different thoughts about the Razer Barracuda. On one hand, it is very expensive set of headphones for the average user. On the other hand, in the days of thousand dollar video cards, processors and 30” monitors, it’s not o...
The Razer Barracuda HP-1 is an impressive set of headphones, with sound quality rivaling higher quality studio headphones. With the sound I got from my AC97 onboard, I can only imagine the sound quality when coupled with the Barracuda AC-1 sound card,...
Surround like sound, High Quality build, Killer Looks, Ear pods are soft, Mic is accurate and picks up voices well, Can be used with any sound card,
Slightly uncomfortable for those with large heads like myself, Proprietary connection pointless for most, Disappointing bass performance, Expensive, When all is said and done, the Barracuda HP-1 is a nice set of headphones for gamers. On that note, while...
There you have it, the HP-1 headset from Razer performed nicely when it came to game, music and movie audio and as impressed as I am with these headphones, they are not without complaints. The bass in these headphones was not what I was expecting. The...
5.1 sound in Headphones!, 5.1 sound on your head!, 5.1 sound...oops already said that.
Ear piece depth was a bit to shallow for me.
So how do I feel about the Razer Barracuda HP-1 Headphones? Let us start with my dislikes as it is a very short list. Personally I think they could have made the ear pieces a bit more oblong, and the ear pieces could be a little bit deeper, but this...
Tinny high notes The Final Word The Razer Barracuda HP-1 gaming headphones are a solid surround sound option for PC gaming. The sound quality is fairly good and the overall experience of the eight drivers was, if nothing else, a lot of fun.
