Razer announced two new audio products today at the Games Convention – the Razer Megalodon 7.1 channel surround sound gaming headset, and the Razer Moray In-ear Noise Isolating Gaming Earphones. The Razer Megalodon features Razer’s new Maelstrom Audio Engine which Razer claims “has the ability to process audio algorithms up to 800% faster than traditional HRTF virtual surround sound technologies”. Thus the faster the audio processing, the quicker you’ll hear your enemies footsteps right behind you in a game.
