Razer Base Station V2 Chroma Overview - Is It Worth It?
Ойындар
Razer makes some great products, but they also come with a not so great price. For $70, is the Razer Base Station V2 worth it? How does the RGB lighting look and how awesome does it make my desk look? I cover those simple questions today in my video.

Exactly. You can get a wireless charging Rgb headset stand for around $20 on Amazon…. $50 more for less, but with chroma compatibility, and a headphone jack….because so many people are willing to buy a $70 stand, but not pony up for wireless 😂… I like it, but do I $70 like it 🤔🤦♂️
If you use Razer products and have the Razer Synapse software installed, you can link the Base Station with all of your peripherals, giving you the ability to run an extremely varied number of RGB lighting effects, if you are into that sort of thing. Also, the Base Station feels metallic because it's made from aluminum, not plastic.

Hey I appreciate it
I think you completely missed what made it v2. From the v1 you get USB 3.0 ports and 3 of them, while the v2 you get only 2 USB ports but they are 3.1. The bigger upgrade and this is to keep up with the current top 'gamer headset stand' from Corsair, is the audio out. This serves as a DAC and can output 7.1 surround sound. Might have been gimmicky but regardless missed that in the review. These changes make it identical to the Corsair ST100 and same price point. 70 dollars is definitely steep but I think if you are the type of person even considering this, you've already dropped extra money on extra bells and whistles.
@TelesplashGaming

Those bells and whistles are really cool, but less than 10% of gamers care about that. I just like the USB ports and the Lighting. The stand is fine, but it's still steep for $70. USB 3.0 to 3 1 is a good upgrade, but again, I think it's a hard sell to most people.
Is there any way to utilize the speakers if you have a wireless headset?

Since GPU's and CPU's are hard to get a hold of this year I've relegated myself to just upgrading all my peripherals, picked up the Blackwidow V3 pro Keyboard, Blackshark V2 pro headset and the Deathadder V2 pro (with the chroma dock which cost the same as this thing) .. something tells me I should dump the extra pennies on this just to make it a set, that and it will be replacing the cheap and nasty headset stand I got for 10 quid.

this video is 2 years old and it's still the same price which is crazy... i think it's a device that is a good idea, but the price is not right for what it does. You can get brand new razer headphones or even a razer mouse for cheaper than this stand lul - plus the light is not that great, if the whole base lit up that would be cooler and maybe worth $59 price or something.

if it saves you $300 dollars by giving you a good place to hang your headset as opposed to a place that accidentally destroys it . .its worth the 60$.
