Razer Launches Freyja Haptic Chair Cushion and Kraken V4 Pro Headset

Razer has officially launched Freyja, a haptic seat cushion that originated as Project Esther during the 2024 CES concept reveal. This product features the latest Sensa HD haptic technology, which was developed following Razer's acquisition of Interhaptics in 2022. The cushion is designed to enhance gaming experiences by providing in-game feedback through vibrations, and it can be integrated with various games by developers. Freyja is compatible with most high-backed chairs and can support users weighing up to 300 pounds and between 5.3 to 6.6 feet tall. In addition to Freyja, Razer has released the Kraken V4 Pro wireless headset, which also utilizes the Sensa HD technology. The headset features a control hub that allows connections to multiple devices simultaneously, enhancing user convenience. The Kraken V4 Pro has been redesigned with slimmer earcups and improved RGB LED effects, making it more comfortable and visually appealing. Both products are now available for purchase, with Freyja priced at $300 and the Kraken V4 Pro at $400. The cushion has seen a reduction in the number of actuators from 16 to six, which may impact its haptic feedback capabilities. However, Razer claims that the technology can still effectively convey audio signals into haptic feedback, allowing users to perceive direction and distance. The launch of these products marks a significant step in Razer's strategy to create a cohesive ecosystem of haptic-feedback devices, all managed through the newly updated Synapse 4 utility, which offers customizable settings and profiles for users to tailor their experience.
