SoundSlayer x Final Fantasy XIV adds in-game flair to real-world sound
The SC-GNW10S-FF doesn’t settle for basic branding. This wearable surround-sound speaker features job icons across its matte black body, a startup jingle pulled from the game’s soundtrack, and LED lighting that reflects your FFXIV role DPS, Healer, or Tank.
Even the packaging leans in, featuring a custom box with a map of the Final Fantasy world on the back. The included wireless transmitter? Decorated with a Meteor logo.
