Razer Launches Ifrit Headset With #noheadsethair Focus

Pretty sure you can 3d print something that holds a mic and earbuds of your choice for cheaper.

But that's the entire humorous sub-line of the piece.

"Don't mess up your hair"

Spokesperson well-known in Japan with well-known bad hair.

Ah. Kind of lost on me given that I have no idea who he is and that his whole "dudebro overacting in Japanese" shtick just annoyed me Guess it makes sense.

... If you have access to or own a 3D printer, possibly. I think a 3D printer would cost quite a bit more though Also, printed plastic isn't exactly adjustable. Making it from steel wire makes far more sense. Get a Modmic, BYO earbuds, and roll your own mic holder, and you'd likely have a better product than this (though with a few more wires and more effort involved).

I had to Google the guy also. LOL

Seems he's a pro wrestler in Nippon/Japan. I watched 20seconds of his wrestling (acting) and had to turn it off, not my thing.

But I write stuff like this in the US, so understood instantly what the creators/producers were going for.

"Oh the humanity. Oh the comedic irony."

I searched for Ifrit on Google. It's just Ifrit from Final Fantasy. What do I win?

To put it simply you can think of it as a type of demon in Islam.

I was not expecting to see Kenny Omega on TechPowerUp any time soon.

It's not Sammy Hagar's son?

Cringe-worthy thumbnail and marketing, same as Nvidia " Project Sol" tech demo ( I did not find funny the twist in the end). Can we go back to the classic skinny asian chicks holding the product at a consumer-tech convention and slogans explaining how owing this product will fix someone's life? Cause goofy ain't my thing at all.

This is so stupid, it only reinforces my strong tendency to avoid any Razer products at all costs. Bad enough that their products are cheaply made and rarely last through the warranty, now they're assaulting our senses with this crap? You lose, Razer.

You can avoid Razer if you like, I have a Razer mouse mat that I believe is the highest quality product of it's kind made anywhere on the planet.

Razer Invicta Mercury Edition in white, with two sides, one for speed - one for control. I use it for working mostly. The packaging is ridiculously over the top, it arrives in a hard protective case that I cannot find a secondary purpose for. lol

Owned a Razor keyboard like years ago, the software was horrible, traded up to a Ducky Shine 2 and then to an HHKB Pro 2.

Probably the only product I would consider from Razer is the amazing mousing mats. Very high quality.

Razer is worth 1.6 Billion dollars, so they haven't lost much.

Razer has cultivated a brand image that no competitor can match, and their standing among teens and self-professed gamers is second to none, so almost no matter what they make it'll sell like hotcakes. That image isn't purely built on style and branding, but it's a significant part of it. Still, they were early into the game of "cool" gaming peripherals with a solid technological basis and high-end festuresets. The latter has been surpassed by many competitors by now, but they were almost alone in this market 5-6 years ago.

You can take a shower before going somewhere. Dumb idea to have in ear headset - No thank you

That's before you try cheap Razer knockoffs. I have a large mat at the office (2y.o.) and a newer desktop surface.
Works good, keeps the color. All you need to do is throw it into a washing machine twice a year.

And I thought it's a special headset only for bald people. #noheadsethair

A 1.6 Billion dollar company and the main product that's recommended is a mouse mat. You realize a mouse mat is literally a square slab of *insert material of choice*... right?

I think that says quite a lot
