I know a tonne of people aren't ready to hear this but RGB lighting is now a fashion accessory, and you should get ready to see more of it. For better or worse, PC gamers have had front row seats to the development of this technology, and in this time we've seen some real rubbish. Plenty of ugly and unhelpful implementations over the years came with lights you can't turn off, battery sacrifices, and ramped up prices to go with it. Razer is a brand that might easily evoke some of these unhappy memories for many. I can say I'm pleasantly surprised that, in this case, the Barracuda x Chroma headset is a beacon to follow, rather than run from.
To help guide you through the minefield that is product naming, the Razer's Barracuda X is a slightly cheaper variation of Razer's Barracuda headset, which itself is a step down from the significantly pricier Barracuda Pro. In the X, generally you're looking at cheaper drivers and a single external mic for $100 AUD less than the Barracuda. The X Chroma is a newer iteration featuring some upgrades to the mic, battery, latency, and it's the only one to sport those fashionable outer LEDs with 6-zone earcup lighting.
