In PC gaming, headsets have become the primary audio interface for experiencing high-fidelity and immersive sound. The new Razer Clio is a unique, innovative device that aims to deliver 'headset-like immersive audio' without actually being a headset or something you put on or in your ears.

It's a gaming chair accessory that doubles as a headset. The Razer Clio's integrated near-field speakers (two 43mm high-fidelity drivers) send PC gaming sound waves directly to your ear. It also intuitively acts as surround or rear speakers to an existing front speaker or soundbar setup via Razer's Synapse 4 app for up to full 5.1 audio.

Naturally, the Razer Clio is a wireless device (with a battery life of up to 14 hours) that blends the comfort of a head cushion with immersive sound. It supports low-latency wireless audio over Razer HyperSpeed Wireless and is also compatible with Android and iOS devices over Bluetooth.
