I picked up a Razer Barracuda X gaming headset for the first time back in 2021, and it's had a permanent spot in my roster since then (barring a quick upgrade to the 2022 version). After spending hours tinkering with EQ settings, connections, and profiles and presets for all the best gaming headsets that get released into the wild, I love going back to the simple no-fuss approach taken by the Barracuda. It's comfortable, sounds great, holds its battery well, and can connect to a wide range of platforms - it's also at a record low price right now.
Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy currently have the latest 2022 version of the Razer Barracuda X down to just $69.99 (was $99.99). That's a $30 discount on an already well-priced device (I rarely see wireless gaming headsets this good at under $100 anyway). It's also the cheapest these cups have been, returning to a record discount for the first time this year and a position we've only seen a couple of times over Black Friday last year. All of that's to say it's a fantastic gaming headset going at a truly excellent price right now.
Wireless headsets generally start at around the $130 mark, though there are other budget options from SteelSeries that occupy a similar price point to the Barracuda X. Picking up a Razer device with this level of quality for under $70 is a steal.

Save $30 - The Razer Barracuda X has dropped back to a record low price we've only ever seen in holiday sales before today. At $69.99, this simple plug and play headset is looking particularly strong - especially considering it was already well priced in the first place.
