Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Mascom International stocks the Razer Barracuda X at KSh 28,000, brand new and sealed, in the current 2022 edition that Razer sells. This wireless gaming headset connects through a 2.4GHz USB-C dongle and Bluetooth 5.2, so one headset covers your PC, console and phone. The Razer Barracuda X runs on 40mm Razer TriForce drivers, weighs 250g and carries a detachable HyperClear cardioid microphone. Razer rates its battery at up to 50 hours of use per charge. Try it on at our store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for gamers who switch screens across Kenya, the Razer Barracuda X handles PC matches, PlayStation sessions and phone calls without swapping headsets. Many people own one headset for the console and earbuds for the phone, then juggle chargers for both. The Razer Barracuda X solves that with a USB-C dongle for low-lag play and Bluetooth for calls, music and mobile gaming. Mobile gamers playing PUBG Mobile or Call of Duty Mobile on a matatu ride home keep the same headset they use at the desk. Sales teams and journalists also use it for Teams calls while still hearing team chat clearly.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell gaming headsets without letting you test the fit, Mascom International lets you wear the Razer Barracuda X before paying. Customers across Nairobi tell us the 250g weight is what they notice first, especially after hours of play. Every headset leaves our store sealed, with a 12-month warranty claimed at our own service desk. We also stock the Razer Leviathan V2 and Razer Nommo V2 X for anyone building a full desk setup. Walk in, or order on WhatsApp and pay on delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Razer Barracuda X
How much is the Razer Barracuda X in Kenya?
The Razer Barracuda X costs KSh 28,000 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the headset, the detachable microphone, the USB-C wireless dongle and Razer's supplied cables. A 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects comes with it. You pay only when the parcel arrives, anywhere in Kenya. The Razer Nommo V2 X speakers cost KSh 7,000 more, and the Razer Leviathan V2 set costs KSh 19,000 more, for buyers who prefer open sound.
Which Razer Barracuda X version does Mascom International sell?
Mascom International sells the 2022 edition of the Razer Barracuda X, which is the version Razer currently offers. It adds Bluetooth 5.2 next to the 2.4GHz dongle, so you can pair a phone for calls and music. The original Barracuda X had no Bluetooth and a much shorter battery rating. The 2022 edition is rated at up to 50 hours per charge. If you see a cheaper Barracuda X elsewhere, ask which edition it is before paying.
Should I buy the Razer Barracuda X or the Razer Nommo V2 X speakers?
Choose the Razer Barracuda X for private, focused listening and team chat, and the Razer Nommo V2 X for open sound that fills a room. The headset carries a detachable cardioid microphone, which the speakers do not have. It also travels with you and runs on battery. The Nommo V2 X needs mains power and suits a fixed desk. Hostel students who share rooms usually pick the headset, while home-office workers often own both.
How long does the Razer Barracuda X battery last with KPLC power cuts?
The Razer Barracuda X is rated by Razer for up to 50 hours of use on one charge. For someone gaming three hours a night, that is roughly two weeks between charges. During KPLC power cuts, the headset keeps working over Bluetooth from a charged phone. It charges by USB, so a power bank or laptop port works when the mains is off. Real battery life varies with volume, so loud sessions finish sooner.
Does the Razer Barracuda X work with PS5, Switch and Android phones?
Yes, the Razer Barracuda X works wirelessly with PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and Android phones through its USB-C dongle. Plug the dongle into a PS5 or a docked Switch and the headset connects with low lag. Bluetooth 5.2 adds iPhones, laptops and tablets for calls and music. On a Windows PC, the headset supports 7.1 surround sound, while consoles and phones play stereo. Wireless play on Xbox consoles is not part of Razer's listed support.
Is the Razer Barracuda X good for calls on Safaricom and Airtel Kenya?
The Razer Barracuda X handles phone calls on Safaricom and Airtel Kenya well, because its HyperClear cardioid microphone picks up mainly your voice. Cardioid means the mic hears what is in front of it and less from the sides. That helps in a busy Upper Hill office or a noisy house. For WhatsApp calls or Google Meet sessions, pair your phone by Bluetooth. Remove the mic when you only listen to music on a boda boda or matatu commute.
Who should buy the Razer Barracuda X, and who should skip it?
Buy the Razer Barracuda X if you play on more than one device and want one light headset for games, calls and music. It suits PC and PlayStation gamers, students and remote workers. Skip it if you play mainly on Xbox and want wireless play, since its dongle is not listed for Xbox. Skip it too if you dislike wearing anything for hours; the Razer Nommo V2 X speakers suit you better and need no charging.
Is the Razer Barracuda X comfortable in Nairobi heat?
The Razer Barracuda X stays comfortable for long sessions because it weighs just 250g and uses memory foam ear cushions. Memory foam shapes itself around your ears, spreading pressure evenly. On hot afternoons, closed-back cups trap some warmth, so short breaks every hour help. Buyers throughout Kenya report the light frame matters more than anything else during weekend tournaments. Wipe the cushions after use to keep sweat from building up during humid months in Mombasa.
Technical Specifications
Audio Hardware
- 40mm Razer TriForce drivers — each driver is tuned in three zones, keeping bass, mids and highs separate.
- Frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz — covers the full range of human hearing, from deep rumble to fine detail.
- Impedance of 32 ohms — a low figure, so phones and controllers drive it easily without an amplifier.
- Closed-back over-ear design — cups surround the ear and keep sound in while blocking some outside noise.
- Virtual 7.1 surround on Windows PC — software places sound around you, helping you track enemies in shooters.
Wireless Connectivity
- 2.4GHz wireless through a USB-C dongle — low-lag link for gaming on PC, PlayStation, Switch and Android phones.
- Bluetooth 5.2 — pair a phone or tablet for calls, music and mobile games with no dongle needed.
- 3.5mm wired option — a standard audio jack connection for devices that lack USB-C or Bluetooth.
- USB-C dongle design — fits straight into modern phones, laptops and consoles without an adapter.
- Multi-platform support — one headset serves your PC, console and phone instead of three separate devices.
Battery
- Up to 50 hours per charge — Razer's rating, enough for about two weeks at three hours a night.
- USB charging — top up from a laptop, wall charger or power bank, which helps during KPLC outages.
- Rechargeable built-in battery — no disposable batteries to buy or replace.
- Bluetooth fallback during outages — keep listening from a charged phone when the PC loses power.
- Volume affects run time — louder listening drains the battery sooner than Razer's rated figure.
Build and Durability
- 250g weight — light enough for long sessions without neck or head strain.
- Memory foam ear cushions — foam that moulds to your ears for even pressure and better noise sealing.
- Foldable frame — the headset folds for packing into a backpack between campus, office and home.
- Circumaural fit — the cushions sit around the ears rather than on them, reducing pressure points.
- Colour options — Razer sells black, Mercury white and Quartz pink editions of this headset.
Controls and Inputs
- Detachable HyperClear cardioid microphone — focuses on your voice and comes off when you only want music.
- Microphone range of 100Hz to 10kHz — tuned for speech, so teammates hear clear words rather than background hum.
- On-earcup audio controls — change volume and mute without leaving the game or picking up your phone.
- Connection switching — move between dongle and Bluetooth from the headset itself.
- Peak sound pressure level of 96dB — plenty of volume, best kept lower for long-term hearing health.
