The gaming world's first headset with haptic feedback is selling for $95, refurbished.
The Razer Nari
Ultimate wireless gaming headset has a secret weapon. It's the first -- and as
far as I know, still the only -- audio gear with built-in haptic drivers. What
does that mean? This headset doesn't simply reproduce sound when you're playing
games. It also vibrates, which adds an extra level of immersion as well as
giving you positional cues in the 3D space around you.
(Though I'm not 100% sold on the idea, so I should point out that you can turn this feature off.) The Nari Ultimate lists for about $200 and is currently selling for $150 on Amazon. But right now, Daily Steals is offering refurbished Razer Nari Ultimate headsets for $94. Just apply promo code CNETRZNR at checkout.
That said, the haptic
capabilities have proven to be divisive, with some folks clearly not a fan of
the concept. What do you think: haptic feedback? Around your ears? I'm
genuinely curious to know if you want to try out the Nari Ultimate or worry
that the haptic feature would soon wear out its welcome. Let me know your
thoughts in the comments.
I'm definitely
intrigued by this deal. While I wouldn't have bought the Nari Ultimate for $200
or even $170, when you get down to around $90, we've entered plausible splurge
territory. It's more than half off the list price and a solid $56 off the best price on
Amazon right now.
Haptics aside, these headphones look to be solid audio gear. CNET
took a first look at the Nari Ultimate a few years ago and complimented
the comfort and sound quality, while pointing out that it comes with THX
spatial audio, another solid selling point for wireless gaming
headphones.
