Overview
- Razer announced two new Soma chairs that use six built-in haptic motor actuators and the company’s Sensa HD Haptics system to translate audio and in‑game events into directional, intensity‑aware seat vibrations.
- The Soma Pro pairs the haptic system with built-in THX Spatial Audio speakers and Razer Chroma RGB lighting for synchronized visual and audio effects, while the Soma Sensa HD Haptics offers the same haptics hardware without speakers or lighting.
- Both chairs support Razer Synapse, which converts audio into haptic output so unsupported games, movies, and music can still produce seat feedback, and they connect via Razer HyperSpeed Wireless for PC or Bluetooth LE for mobile devices.
- Razer detailed ergonomics and power options that are shared between the models, including a built-in lumbar arch, dual-density foam, a 132° recline, an integrated control panel for profiles and intensity, and USB‑C power from either a wall adapter or a user-supplied power bank.
- Razer priced the pair to split the market by needs and budget, listing the Soma Pro at $999.99 and the Soma Sensa HD Haptics at $569.99, and the move builds on the earlier Soma Chroma as part of a broader push to add physical feedback to gaming peripherals.
