Razer Barracuda HP1 Gaming Headphone Review

Introduction

Whoosh! Do you remember the Memorex commercial where the guy in the chair was totally overtaken by the quality? Once this Barracuda takes a bite out of you, you’ll be its favorite bait. The much-anticipated Razer Barracuda HP-1 Gaming Headphones have arrived. I’ve been waiting to review these headphones for quite some time now and I’m glad that the concept team at Razer took their time on these. This is Razer’s first attempt at a gaming headphone set and it looks like they took it to the max!

Razer is commonly known for its gaming mice. Since the introduction of the Boomslang Mouse in the late 90’s, Razer has been an innovator in gaming peripherals. Now with the introduction of the Barracuda Headphones and soon the Barracuda AC-1 Gaming Audio Card and the Tarantula Gaming Keyboard, everyone’s gaming needs should be satisfied.

Closer Look

As always, Razer packaging is an eye catcher. If you have read any of my other reviews, exterior packaging design is a must for any product. You want a product to reach out and say “Pick Me Up”. Generally, when a manufacturer puts some time into packaging design, that quality is also reflected on the product inside.
Opening the box was a snap, literally. It is kept closed by Velcro tabs.
