Razer just started selling a . It attaches to a gaming chair and doubles as a head cushion. It boasts some nifty tech and is based on a concept design dating back to early 2023. The company promises “headset-like immersive audio without the constraints of wearing one.” To that end, the speaker integrates with THX spatial audio and uses two 43mm full-range drivers.
These drivers are angled so they hit the ears “for an intimate listening experience.” The Clio works on its own, but can be paired with other audio devices for even more immersion. Razer says it works great when integrated with pre-existing front speakers. This allows for a 5.1 surround sound experience, with the Clio acting as the rear speaker.
The speaker connects wirelessly and reduces latency via proprietary software called Razer HyperSpeed. It also works with Bluetooth for compatibility with Android and iOS devices. The battery lasts for around 14 hours per charge, though it doesn’t come with the required USB-C cable.
As for the head cushion part of the equation, the Clio boasts memory foam that “cradles the head and neck for a comfortable listening experience.” It also has nylon straps for adjustments. It’s compatible with most high-back gaming chairs.
Now for the bad news. This is an expensive speaker. The Razer Clio costs a whopping $230. It’s available to order right now, with shipments going out on May 16.
