I am having the same issue. I plugged them into a wall outlet with the cord that came with them before I left for work today at 8 am and just got home around 7pm and they were blinking green. As soon as i turned them on I got a “battery low” notification! and they were only at 20%! hope someone knows how to fix this really annoying bug.

This is exactly what’s happening right now even with the replacement I’ve received. BTW, I’ve already sent the old one back to the seller but the replacement is still the same. I think there is a problem with the Barracuda X 2023 model.
I’m already tired asking for a refund from the store so the only solution that I have is:
- charged it while it is OFF, remove it once full (blinking green).
- Open the unit then reconnect the charger. This will now charge the unit faster. I’ve connected this via Razer Audio on my iPhone to monitor the %.
This is just frustrating since this might cause the battery life of the unit to shorten.
I have the same issue with my razer barracuda, is there any resolution to this issue?
None so far but there is a workaround that I did.
So when the headset fully charges, before you unplug the cable, open it and connect it to Razer Audio application on your phone. I did this twice and it works. But if you unplug it without opening it first, the battery stays uncharged.
Thanks, I'll try this workaround. Hope that razer can help us fix this issue. Its quite frustrating since it should work properly
I have the same issue too. Requested a replacement and received the new headset, only for it to have the same problem. Its incredibly frustrating since ive tried charging it 4 separate times the last 2 days and I turn it on to get 3 “low battery” indications. Im just going to find a different headset at this point.
some problem here! and after the charge when off, if i turn on and re-recharge the % go up very fast (+13% in 1 minutes)
Same problem here. I just bought my razer barracuda x last week and it’s my first time charging it and I encounter this problem too where in the headset won’t charge when it’s turned off.
I've got the same problem.
Any fixes?

Connect it to the razer audio app before unplugging the charger (as stated above by Ryegon). Mine went from saying 15% battery to 100% instantly as soon as I connected to the app. Not sure if this is a forever solution but it seems to work as of now.
If the headphones don't charge while off but plugged in then try this
Don't charge through another device(pc, playstation, xbox)
Have a high speed charger (10+ watts)
Connect with razer audio app
Headphones are connected to your phone and you should see a blue blinking light
Plug into a wall charger like a 20 watt phone charger
It should take minutes to charge I tested and it charged from 35-50 in around 3 minutes
So what I found is that being connected to a device while connected to a wall charger makes it charge to max in about 10-15 mins depending on what the wattage of the charger is and how low the headphones are
Also keep in mind the headphones have a auto standby so they may turn off after 10 mins which can be made a longer time or disabled through the razer audio app. I hope this helps everyone
If you don't know how much wattage a charger has look on it or download an app and test through your phone (Android devices only)
