- The Nari Ultimate for Xbox One is available now for $200.
Razer made a splash last year wen it introduced the Nari Ultimate, a headset that aims to make you feel the sounds in your games with haptic feedback. Now, that same experience is available on your Xbox One with the launch of the Nari Ultimate for Xbox One.
This new iteration of the Nari Ultimate works the same as the original, using Razer's "HyperSense" feedback to create physical feedback from in-game sounds ranging from footsteps to explosions. The main differences lie in the headseat's looks — there's now a lot more green — and the fact that it uses the Xbox Wireless communication protocol to connect to your console. That's the same protocol your Xbox One controller uses, which means you won't need a dongle to pair it up.
"Razer HyperSense features haptics by Lofelt, a leading German technology company that specializes in creating advanced haptics for immersive, realistic tactile experiences," Razer said in a press release. "It uses special haptic drivers and intelligent digital signal processing to generate high-definition tactile feedback in real time, creating an immersive in-game experience with any Xbox One game."
Along with it haptic flair, the Nari Ultimate for Xbox One packs swiveling earcups, memory foam ear cushions with a cooling gel layer, and a retractablemicrophone.
The Razer Nari Ultimate for Xbox One is available now from Razer for $200.
