Razer Soma Pro is a new gaming chair that adds haptic motors, built-in speakers, and reactive RGB lighting to one seat. Razer announced it alongside the Razer Soma Sensa HD Haptics, a cheaper model that focuses on haptic feedback only. The Soma Pro costs $999.99. The Soma Sensa HD Haptics costs $569.99. Both chairs are on sale now.
Below, you can read how the haptics work, what each chair includes, and how they compare with the Soma Chroma.
Razer Soma Pro launch, price, and availability
Razer announced the Razer Soma Pro and the Soma Sensa HD Haptics today. Both are wireless gaming chairs with haptic feedback built into the seat. The Soma Pro also adds speakers and RGB lighting.
The Soma Pro costs $999.99 in the US, £999.99 in the UK, and €1,029.99 in Europe. The Soma Sensa HD Haptics costs $569.99, £569.99, and €589.99. These are the MSRP figures Razer listed.
Both chairs are available now at Razer.com, RazerStores, and select retailers worldwide. Razer is also offering US$50 in store credit for Soma Pro orders placed during launch week.
The new models follow the Razer Soma Chroma, the company’s first RGB gaming chair.
How Razer Sensa HD Haptics works in the chair
Both new chairs use 6 haptic motor actuators. Razer Sensa HD Haptics technology powers them. The motors produce vibrations that follow the intensity, direction, and distance of supported in-game events.
According to Razer, players can tell sensations apart. For example, an explosion on the left feels different from an impact nearby. Razer describes the result as multi-zone feedback rather than a simple rumble.
The chairs also work with content that has no native haptic support. Razer Synapse software converts audio into vibrations. This applies to unsupported games, movies, and music. The haptics are built into the seat, so no external accessories are needed.
A built-in control panel handles the settings. Players can change the vibration intensity and switch between haptic profiles. The same panel switches between wireless connection types.
Soma Pro speakers and Chroma RGB lighting
The Soma Pro is the only new model with speakers. They support THX Spatial Audio, so game audio plays directly from the chair. Players can use the speakers alone or pair them with front speakers for a wider surround sound setup.
The Soma Pro also has Razer Chroma RGB lighting. It reacts to in-game events in more than 300 integrated games. Razer claims 16.8 million colors. Players can sync the lighting with other compatible Razer devices through Synapse.
Razer says the Soma Pro is the only gaming chair that combines haptics, THX Spatial Audio, and Chroma RGB in one seat. The Soma Sensa HD Haptics focuses on physical feedback only.
Comfort features and build
Both chairs share a built-in lumbar arch and a dual-density, cold-cured foam seat cushion. The backrest reclines up to 132 degrees. A steel frame supports both models.
The Soma Pro adds 4D armrests, a magnetic head cushion, and a frog tilt mechanism. It also has a 5-star powder-coated aluminum alloy wheelbase. Razer says this gives it the most adjustable fit in the line.
Razer backs both chairs with a 3-year warranty on mechanisms and moving parts. Electronic parts get a 2-year warranty.
Power and connectivity
Both chairs support Razer HyperSpeed Wireless (2.4 GHz) for PC. They also support Bluetooth LE for compatible mobile devices.
Neither chair needs a permanent power cable to a wall outlet. A single USB Type-C connection draws power from a wall outlet or a compatible power bank.
Razer does not include the power bank or the power adapter. It lists the required specs as a 20,000 mAh power bank rated 45 W or above with PD 2.0 or above. The adapter must be 45 W or above for the Soma Pro and 27 W or above for the Soma Sensa HD Haptics.
The Soma Pro includes a USB Type-C extension cable. The Soma Sensa HD Haptics does not.
