Razer's Clio X is a padded head cushion with an integrated wireless speaker that attaches to gaming chair headrests. It features THX Spatial Audio for 360-degree sound and a 15W USB-C power input. It connects to PCs via Razer's HyperSpeed 2.4 GHz wireless link and can pair with a soundbar for fuller output.
The Clio X replaces the original's 43mm aluminum drivers with two 38mm loudspeakers and adds two 55mm passive radiators to enhance bass in a compact design. Razer recommends a PD2.0 power source and notes that the product does not include one. Battery runtime depends on the connected power bank, and the company suggests at least 10,000mAh for sustained use.
For consumers, the Clio X provides immersive chair-mounted audio without bulky speakers, offering a seated, personal surround option compatible with Razer gaming chairs.
