Razer announced a new wireless gaming headset for
the PS4 and Xbox One, the Razer Thresher Ultimate. It will be available in two
variants for each console and both versions will also work with the PC.
The Thresher Ultimate uses a base station that
transmits at 2.4GHz to the wireless headset for a lag-free transmission and
also an enormous 40ft/12m range. The base station connects to the console over
an optical audio connection. The headset also includes a stand that sits around
the base station and holds the headset when not in use.
The headset itself features large 50mm drivers that
deliver 7.1 Dolby Surround Sound positional audio. Built-in controls help you
control the master and mic volume. The left ear cup features a retractable
omnidirectional microphone.
The main focus with this headset is comfort. The ear
cups have plush leatherette cushions that cover your ears completely for
isolation. The cushions are also designed with foam indentations for temple
relief for those who wear glasses.
Both the PS4 and the Xbox One versions are
officially licensed. The PS4 version works with PS4 and PS4 Pro and the Xbox
One version works with Xbox One, One S and One X. As mentioned before, either
version works with PC so you can choose whether you want it in green or blue if
you are buying for the PC.
Both versions are priced at US$ 249.99/€ 279.99 and will
be available on Razerzone.com this month and worldwide in July.
