Since the Razer Barracuda X (2022) is an update on the original Razer Barracuda X, there are bound to be some differences, but first, the similarities. The headset is still lightweight at 250 grams and connects through USB-C and 3.5mm aux.
Now, on to the differences. The Barracuda X (2022) has a much longer battery life of 59 hours than the previous generation’s 29 hours. It also features Bluetooth, which the old one didn’t. The microphone is also a lot better on the new Barracuda X, sounding clearer. The USB-C dongle features a different design. On the 2022 model, the USB-C plug is slightly off-center from the dongle, probably so it doesn’t partially cover ports on each side of it. And lastly, the frequency response for the Barracuda X (2022) is a bit bassier than the older Razer Barracuda X.
