Allowing for greater versatility of use depending on recording applications. The microphones built-in headphone amplifier allows for zero latency, real time accurate monitoring of recordings to ensure users sound exactly as they intend to.

"Tuned for a professional-style setup and able to be assembled and transported quickly and easily, the Razer Seirēn is a microphone designed specifically for streamers and YouTubers."
Razer is also initiating a "Razer Sponsored Streamer Program" to help aspiring content creators and streamers take their recordings to a professional level.

The Razer Seirēn digital microphone is the company's latest audio product designed to go beyond pure gaming.

The Adaro collection continues to be popular among EDM artists, musicians and avid music listeners ever since its acclaimed launch at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show.
Beyond its music partners, Razer works with some of the top professional gaming YouTubers and streamers. Many of which were inspirations in the creation of the Razer Seirēn and will play roles in its future development.
Professional recording accessories such as a shock mount and pop filter are also available to pair with the Razer Seirēn digital microphone for the complete recording setup. These accessories along with the Razer Seirēn professional bundle will be available exclusively on RazerStore.

It's not really any different with peripherals. There use to be prety much only Logitech and now you have tons of others. Result? Cheaper and better stuff.
Why is this a bad thing, just the fakeness of Razer imo, also its in no way helps the consumer as pricing does not go down with this "addition".
These so called "manufactures" make the products, and companies like Razer markets them, I don't see anything wrong here, this is how the world works folks. How many people heard of Blue Yetti Pro? now, how many people will now rush out and buy the latest Razer gadget that just came out? Whether you like it or not, Razer will move inventories much faster than Blue could alone.
Lastly, Razer commands a higher price than the other companies, well in reality, not much so, but if you want to believe it - like I said earlier, their effective marketing team and design team needs to be paid, and being a designer myself, I can tell you we ain't cheap.
Boomslang and Copperhead, the initial trend of 'gaming' mouse. It's them that started it, not Microsoft, Logitech, Saitek or else.
Naga, too-much-buttons-on-the-mouse-especially-in-your-thumb. Very few care with SS WoW (IIRC the first of the kind), not the case with Naga.
Blackwidow, mechanical 'gaming' keyboard. At that time 7G has been ~2 years old (and actual mechanical keyboard is way older), people like it but few really buy it. But after BW, comes the trend of mechanical gaming keyboard. Suddenly everyone wants mechanical. Even non-gaming branded like Filco started advertised their product as keyboard for gaming, at least their reseller.
Even if my argument above is wrong, it doesn't change the fact nobody lose when Razer selling higher end mic. If everyone buy it, what the worst could happen? you'll hear clearer voice in TeamSpeak? or no more webcam-mic-fest podcast?
Apparently it's just $10 overpriced over Blue Yeti Pro (not counting discount of course), with easier-to-find reseller/service center and better looks (subjective). I really don't see the problem here.Of course it's not. Rebadged is nothing unusual in hardware industry. People still bought Corsair PSU even though it's (for example) Seasonic unit. Some like the brand, some like the after sales services, some like aesthetic aspect, some getting better discount.
wait wait wait ....uh? the Boomslang was before the Logitech Wingman mouse? nah, pretty much doubt it ...
17years of goodness, the boom got out in 98 the Wingman in 97 but logitech did not say/marketed "we launched the 1st gaming mouse ever" they just launched the 1st gaming mouse, that's all, and it was sturdy and literally indestructible, early Razer product where good now they are just ... hum "Fisher-Price" (i know i'm being insulting to Fisher-Price but i had no other brand in my head to qualify Razer )
ohhh i did just re read ... that partoh well ... make sense ... but not at all the gaming mouse trend setter was Logitech indeed since razer launched a gaming mouse after seeing that the Wingman mouse was a success (technically ... )
well they did set a trend : the "do not do like we do" since nearly all other brand does better and cheaper o_O ?
