Previous models in the Kiyo series featured functions such as built-in ring lights around the lens, and combined imaging sensors with light sensors to automatically adjust brightness.
The new Kiyo V2 Series uses a Sony image sensor paired with AI processing software, enabling natural skin tones even under low-light conditions.

At the same time, Razer announced that its wireless speaker for gaming chair headrests, Razer Clio, will be released in Japan on October 31.
The recommended retail price (including tax) is ¥33,480.
Clio is a cushion-style speaker that attaches to the back of a chair or headrest using an adjustable strap, featuring 43mm speakers positioned on either side of the head. This setup delivers sound in a way that envelops you from both sides.
The strap supports headrest widths between 47 and 65 cm, meaning it can be used with non-Razer chairs as long as the size fits.

Clio supports THX Spatial Audio surround sound technology, allowing it to function as a standalone stereo speaker. It can also be paired with other speakers to serve as rear surround speakers.
For connection to PCs, Razer employs its proprietary low-latency wireless technology, Razer HyperSpeed, and the built-in battery provides up to 14 hours of playback time.
