With a compact and lightweight design the Razer Ferox speakers are very portable and multiple users can listen easily with the 360-degree soundscape. However, they're overpriced considering the relatively mediocre audio quality: they're only a minor upgrade to most laptop speakers.

Razer's Ferox speakers are simple but sexy, and Razer claims they’re “tiny but mighty”. Tiny they may be – they’re about as tall and wide as a tube of lipstick – but mighty they are not. The Ferox speakers had the...

Razer is no stranger to high quality audio equipment, what with the number of high-end stereo and surround headsets over the past years. Their breakthrough hit, the Razer Mako 2.1 THX speakers were one of the best desktop audio speakers at the time,...

The Razer Ferox is priced at Rs. 3,999 (MRP) but you may be able to get it at a lesser price. The Ferox is an amazingly tiny set of speakers that delivers a rather big sound. But the problem with it is that the sound is more suited for gaming than...

A lot of my life revolves around traveling to clients or conventions, so when I watch something on my laptop or listen to music, the speakers on my laptop just don’t sound that nice. I could plug in a good headset, but most of the time I want to...
