Razer Barracuda HP-1 Gaming Headphones

CNET have posted a review of the recently released Razer Barracuda HP-1 Gaming Headphones and if gaming’s your thing, CNET reckon you’ll struggle to find better.

These headphones are specially designed to interface with Razer’s soon to be released AC-1 sound card but will work with any other sound card using a supplied adapter.

The reviewer was impressed by the comfort of these ‘phones - particularly important in gaming where an intense game of Doom 3 could last hours.

Also impressive was the gaming sound quality, offering excellent bass. Unfortunately, the non-gaming performance appears to let these headphones down with music being particularly poor.

Although CNET still gave these headphones a good 7.1 out of 10, it really looks like they’re at their best for playing games but a pretty poor choice for those looking for an all-round performer.
