Really old concept. There was some car that have speakers inside head cushion, without Hypersense ofc 😝

Concepts were better before and the grass was much greener :wink_:

I really hope this makes it out of concept. Take my money!!

Its look very great! I hope that would be really good

Maybe let's keep this one as a concept 😅

now this is a cool concepr

i can see it being used for racing games, would be a blast if it is re-worked for racing seats

underwhelming

Nice gaming Chair!!! I need one, the doctor prescribed it to me.

That would be a good use,as it's mostly noise and there's no need for high quality audio equipment for such games

Hello friends, Project Carol is a good idea, I validate, you can start production. ❤️ Ooops, that's right, I'm not Razer CEO. :p

Is it a global fit?

Its a great idea tbh, tho i dont think it will be as good as using actual speakers at least for the surround type.

It seems the Mazda MX-5 has headrest speakers, even the old models (maybe they had to be fitted by the dealer but they're designed for speakers). Also the Nissan Juke has headrest speakers.

I think I've seen it in some older car (Recaro E21) - dunno, some 1990s BMW or Mercedes... maybe it was retrofitted. But Pontiac Fiero has speakers in headrest (as an option)... in 1984!

Ah, the project level design from Razer are so hot, i so wish they could become something real, but when you come to think of it, its actually really hard to adapt them if not impossible and not worth it.

One day my friend... one day

If I ever go back to speakers, I know what to look for now.
