Razer Shows Off The New Clio X Speaker Cushion For Gaming Chairs

At the core of the Razer Clio X is an integrated near-field speaker design with dual 38mm full-range drivers and 55mm passive radiators, angled directly toward the listener's ears to deliver focused, immersive audio from behind. Powered by THX Spatial Audio, acoustic widening modes create a broader, more realistic soundstage, bringing greater depth and spatial awareness to games, movies, and music without requiring a headset.

Razer Clio X delivers ultra-low-latency wireless audio through Razer HyperSpeed 2.4 GHz, freeing users from console or PC cabling. It can be powered by any USB-C PD 2.0 power bank (not included) for up to 40 hours of wireless use, with actual battery life varying by power bank capacity and usage. At the same time, a built-in USB Type-C cable stores neatly inside the rear cushion pouch for a clean, clutter-free setup.

Designed for broad compatibility, the plush, supportive foam head cushion features an adjustable 30–65 cm nylon strap that fits most high-back gaming and office chairs, making it a comfortable, versatile addition to any setup. The Razer Clio X can be used as a standalone primary speaker for headset-free gaming, movies, and music, or paired in Surround Mode with an existing soundbar or 2.0/2.1 speaker system to create a rear surround audio experience powered by THX Spatial Audio.
