Razer introduces Ferox, ultraportable gaming speakers

By Laura Khalil January 26, 2011

Ferox was designed with 360 degrees of omni-directional sound, proving that great things come in small packages.

“The Razer Ferox is our sophisticated, modern day boombox for gamers,” said Robert “RazerGuy” Krakoff, president, Razer USA. “Its sleek and compact structure takes up minimal space but delivers the crystal clear sound quality perfect for gaming on-the-go or for music playback wherever you’re at.”

The Razer Ferox delivers room-filling audio clarity with its 360 degree omni-directional acoustics, giving a much wider listening sweet spot than any ordinary front-facing speakers. You no longer need to be glued in front of your speakers to get the best sound –no matter where you stand, sit, or backflip during a riotous shootout, audio from the Razer Ferox sounds just as immersive.

The speakers have expandable resonance chambers that provide stronger bass and optimized digital amplifiers for a fuller sound experience, each chamber rises upon a single press to power up.

Razer has been designing products with gamers in mind since 1998. They’ve found a great balance between quality, precision and ease of use in all their products. The Razer Ferox is no exception.

With 12 hours of rechargeable battery life and a convenient carrying case, the Razer Ferox is extremely versatile. The speakers can also play and charge simultaneously, so you don’t need to worry about running out of power any time soon. These mobile speakers can be used for space-constrained gaming desktop setups, brought along to LAN parties for a convenient audio solution, or broadcasting your favorite playlist on the go. They work with and media playwe with a 3.5mm jack.

The speakers are $59.99 and available now at Razerzone.com

The first big gaming showcase of June is here, and it gave us a look at what's next for games made for the Meta Quest family of VR headsets. It was an important showcase too, as the Meta Quest Pro came out last year to very muted results, the idea of the metaverse is fading in its relevancy, and the Meta Quest 3 headset is going to release this fall. During this showcase, Meta tried t reaffirm why people should care about owning one of its VR headsets.

It did so mainly by revealing VR follow-ups to popular IP. Games like Samba de Amigo, The 7th Guest, and Bulletstorm are being remade in VR. Meanwhile, well-known IP like Stranger Things, Attack on Titan, and Assassin's Creed are also making the jump to virtual reality as well, and as sequel to Asgard's Wrath is in the works. A lot was revealed during the preshow and actual showcase, so rounded up everything that was revealed for you right here.

With Pride Month here, there’s no better time to play a new game or two that focuses on LGBT+ characters and stories. Luckily, the number of games with LGBTQ+ representation has been growing over the last few years, particularly in the indie space. There’s a significant history of the queer community not getting represented in video games at all or in less than well-intentioned ways. And while there’s still plenty of room to grow in terms of queer storytelling in games, there are a host of fantastic games to pick from.

From games that feature queer main characters like The Last of Us Part II to titles that give players the freedom to build out their characters' identities themselves like The Sims franchise, there are games across genres that have LGBTQ+ representation. Here’s a list of games that represent different queer identities, providing a good starting point if you’re looking to see how games tackle queer stories this Pride Month.
