Our Verdict

Corsair HS70 Wireless

Razer Barracuda X Wireless 2021

The Corsair HS70 Wireless are better for wireless gaming than the Razer Barracuda X Wireless 2021. The Corsair are better built, and they have better frequency response consistency. Their default sound profile is more neutral, which some users may prefer, and they have companion software with a graphic EQ to customize their sound. That said, the Razer also let you game with a wired connection, and their mic has a better recording quality.
