Razer Barracuda HP-1 Surround Headphones
Introduction
Unlike console gamers, PC gamers that strive to compete at the highest level not only have to develop in-game skills, but they must also keep up with the latest gaming hardware in order to play with the "best of the best." The best gamers are always looking for an edge in terms of graphical performance, input precision, and positional audio to help them come out on top. The company who's product we'll be reviewing today has been dedicated to providing the "tools of the trade" to PC gamers since 1998 when they introduced the Boomslang, which was the highest precision mouse available at that time. I'm sure that mouse and the company that created it are both familiar to most of you, but if you're still in the dark, the company is Razer, and today we'll be taking a look at their latest gaming product, the Razer Barracuda HP-1 Gaming Surround Headphones. While Razer is well known for their gaming mice and related accessories, they are just now beginning to diversify their product line, while still remaining true to their motto, "for gamers, by gamers." The Barracuda is the first product by Razer that isn't a mouse or mouse accessory so it's definitely new territory for them. These headphones are actually only one half of the audio solution that Razer hopes gamers will buy into. The other half, the Barracuda AC-1 soundcard, was not available for testing at the time this article was written. According to Razer, the headphones are supposed to work just fine with any 5.1/7.1 soundcard though, so we tested them with an Audigy 2 ZS to see if that's the case.
