Panasonic is bringing the world of Eorzea to your shoulders with the SoundSlayer x Final Fantasy XIV wireless neck speaker (model SC-GNW10S-FF). Designed for gamers who want immersive audio without a headset, this wearable delivers low-latency 4.0 surround sound, custom Final Fantasy XIV touches, and clear voice chat for raids and party play.
This special edition arrives in Japan on December 11, 2025, with an MSRP of 35,200 yen (about $230). It comes in collector-style packaging featuring a world map illustration, while the black chassis is adorned with the game’s job icons. Even the LED lighting plays along: switch the main indicator to DPS, Healer, or Tank, and enjoy original in-game melodies for startup and mode changes. The included wireless transmitter sports a Meteor motif to complete the theme.
Built to rest comfortably around the neck, the SoundSlayer uses four 38 mm cone drivers to create a 4.0 surround field with a total output of 8 W. Panasonic quotes up to nine hours of playtime per charge, keeping you in the action through long sessions. Two MEMS microphones with AI noise canceling aim to keep your voice clear and your callouts crisp, even with game audio pumping around you.
To minimize lag, the system relies on a 2.4 GHz wireless transmitter instead of Bluetooth. Connect the transmitter to your device via USB or 3.5 mm, and enjoy near-instant audio feedback that’s ideal for fast-paced combat. Compatibility spans Windows PCs, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Nintendo Switch.
