Razer redesign the Electra gaming headset

Razer has announced that their Electra gaming headsets are getting an update with the Electra V2 and the Electra V2 USB.

The Razer Electra V2 headset was designed to deliver outstanding sound quality and versatility regardless of the device being used. Its 40mm Neodymium drivers were custom-tuned to provide the best possible audio experience while gaming on PC or consoles, or when listening to music on a phone. A unified audio and mic connector makes it easy to use with any PC, Mac, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or any device with a 3.5 mm audio jack. A removable boom microphone complements gamers’ mobile lifestyles.

“We created the ideal headset for the modern gamer,” says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. “The Razer Electra V2 was updated with more durable and comfortable materials for extended hours of great-sounding gameplay. Lightweight with great audio fidelity, it fits the bill for anyone at home or on the go.”

The Razer Electra VS USB however, features all of the same great features as above, however it comes with a USB connection and as such is designed for use only on PC. Users can activate Razer green backlighting on the ear cups, and virtual 7.1 surround sound digital audio quality is delivered via Razer Synapse – Razer’s cloud-based configurator.
