Featuring custom-tuned 11mm dynamic drivers and dedicated 6mm tweeters, the earbuds deliver punchy low-end and crisp highs. Pre-sets are available for gaming, music, movies, and calls, with a dedicated equalizer for further customization. THX Surround Sound 7.1 is available on PCs via Razer's Synapse software for an immersive audio experience. The USB-C earbuds utilize a low-profile 90-degree connector, which can help prevent cable strain and has an IPX4 rating for sweat, light rain, and accidental liquid splashes. The in-line remote allows users to adjust volume, playback, and toggle ANC, while the built-in omni-directional microphone is suitable for in-game communication and voice calls.
