I paid Razer $70 just to hold my gaming headset — And I’d do it again

I did it. I bought the Razer headset stand. Sorry, not headset stand — it’s the Razer Base Station V2 Chroma, because it’s not just a headset stand… It’s a way of life. Alright, I admit, that’s a little dramatic. Still, it’s all-too easy to poke fun at the prospect of spending a cent under $70 just for a way to hold your headset up, when most headsets are perfectly fine lying on your desk, being hung on the wall via a simple nail or hook, or even hanging out on the corner of your monitor when you’re done playing.

For $69.99, I could’ve done so much, like preordered the Deluxe Edition of Resident Evil 4 (2023)! I mean, I did that anyways (I can’t wait to play). Regardless, it was a simple matter to add the Razer Base Station V2 to my Best Buy cart when buying some equipment for work, and I frankly don’t regret my purchase at all. It may not seem like much, but we can all use a little more luxury in our lives.

If you’re not familiar with the Razer Base Station V2 Chroma, allow me to give you a quick overview of its design and feature set. On the surface this seems like any other cheap headset stand you can buy or even throw together yourself, but Razer actually put a good deal of thought into how to make this particular stand the best on the market.
