A Powerful Wireless Gaming Headse...

 

The year is almost over and I have to say there have been many great headsets both wired and wireless, however, I have to say the RIG 900 Max HX from Nacon RIG will have to be my favorite headset of 2023, and this is a must headset for all gamers. Here is a short description of what the RIG 900 Max HX has to offer to us: The 900 MAX is the first gaming headset to feature a customized…

 

8.0 Nacon Rig 600 Pro HX Wireless Ove...

 

I just received the Nacon Rig 600 Pro HX wireless Over-the-Ear gaming headset, and it has not disappointed me. Right from coming out of the box, I had already felt how lightweight the headset is and knew it was going to be perfect for long periods of use. Unboxing the headset, you receive it where you can adjust the size that would fit perfectly on your head. Just snap the ear buds into the correct slot: you ...

Sony LinkBuds

 

I don’t own a cellphone and when I listen to music, its usually on youtube via my computer. So I don’t use headphones at all. And I have never used ear buds before. That said, when I was given the opportunity to review some ear buds I thought what the heck. I was hoping they’d work with my Nintendo Switch and guess what! They do. Here is my review of the Sony LinkBuds! The Sony LinkBuds are pretty small. When…

 

G FITS Earbuds from Logitech

 

With the recent launch of the Logitech G Cloud, a number of other products in the G lineup have come out as well. This includes the brand new Logitech GFITS true wireless gaming earbuds. We assume these pair nicely with the cloud gaming handheld, but we currently do not have one. That being said, we tested the GFITS extensivley with both our mobile devices and Nintendo Switch unit, and are  very impressed!

 

Google Pixel Buds Pro

 

The Roffel household has been using Google products for many years now, and for the most part, they have all performed very well. The Google Nest WIFI improved our local home wifi network 10 fold, and all of our other Google screens and devices have been great for playing music, showing recipes, and so much more. Recently, the good folks at Google sent over the brand new Google Pixel Buds Pro for us to try out, ...

 

EPOS Relaunches Less Expensive, I...

 

Back in March of 2021, we took at a look at the GTW 270 Hybrid gaming earbuds from EPOS. Event at the $200 USD price point, we said that overall the earbuds were of exceptional quality, sounded great, but had a few things we didn't enjoy, most notably the inability to use them for chat when playing on console. It's now 2022, and the relaunched EPOS GTW 270 Hybrid is not only better, but cheaper too!

 

9.5 Victrix Pro AF Headset

 

I've been a huge supporter of Performance Design Products for a long time now, and they have always been great supporters of the website. In general, I do really enjoy the products the company puts out, but I've also had my issues with them. Most notably, I've never been overly impressed with the headsets the company has released. While they have been adequate and good for the price point, they've never been my ...

 

9.0 EPOS H3Pro Hyrbrid Headset

 

One of my favourite video game accessory makers, EPOS, has launched new colours for the EPOS H3Pro Headset, and we've been trying them out for the past few weeks. Everything I love about EPOS is present in this headset, and while the price point is still a bit high for many - perhaps myself included - the quality of both the product and the audio are second to none. If you have the money to spend, any headset ...

 

9.5 EPOS H6PRO Gaming Headset

 

As the gaming industry continues to grow, so too does the number of companies who are making high-quality gaming accessories. EPOS is a long-standing brand for professional headsets, in fact they are well known for providing headsets so reliable that they are used by air traffic controllers. For a company that is equipped to handle the pressures of a product whose reliability can be a life-or-death situation, ...

 

9.5 EPOS H3 Hybrid Headset – On...

 

Silly Lord of the Rings pun aside in the title, I went in with a bit of skepticism when folks began talking about their review units of this product, saying things like, "It's the only headset you will need" and "It says hybrid for a reason." Really, one headset to replace all others in my collection? Get out of here. Granted, I started a bit late on this review for the H3 - a solid week after it arrived was ...

 

9.0 Razer Hammerhead Gen 2 Wireless E...

 

Razer recently released the second generation of their wireless earbuds, the Razer Hammerhead. These earbuds aim to combine the function of a high-quality audio experience with the gamer chic style that Razer is so well known for. The Hammerhead Gen 2's are priced at a little over half of the Apple AirPods' retail price, so it is clear that they are trying to make a serious play at this market. That is all well ...

 

7.5 Razer Barracuda X Headset

 

Considering its manufacturer is best known for flashy, gamer-oriented accessories, Razer's Barracuda X headset is the last thing you might expect, stylistically. Do not be fooled by its modest appearance, however, as this is one headset that boasts serious multi-platform compatibility. The Barracuda X accepts both wired and wireless connections (through its own USB-C dongle) that is compatible with PC, Nintendo ...

 

9.0 ROCCAT SYN Pro Air

 

The latest gaming headset from ROCCAT, Turtle Beach's PC accessory brand, represents a serious step forward into the mid-high end headset market with the ROCCAT Syn Pro Air. It seems that they have used the previous 'Elo' series to springboard into the higher-end market. And let me tell you, the Syn Pro Air makes an impressive splash. Aside from a few minor hiccups along the way, our extensive testing found ...

 

8.5 Razer Opus X

 

Razer recently released the Razer Opus X headphones, which are a more affordable version of last year's release, Opus. The Opus X headphones hit the market at roughly half the cost of the former model, and are extremely similar with only a couple differences. While not solely targeted towards gamers, the Opus X does feature a low-latency 'Gaming Mode' that ensures there is minimal lag for in-game sounds. Anyone ...

 

8.0 EPOS GTW 270 Hybrid

 

The Nintendo Switch has often lacked a solid Bluetooth / wireless audio accessory. There have been Bluetooth adapters on the marketplace - some of which we have really liked - but not one where the company legitimately marketed the product as a true Nintendo Switch accessory. Enter the EPOS GTW 270 Hybrid, a high priced headphones product that is looking to not only change how we play on our Nintendo Switch ...

 

9.5 SteelSeries Prepares For Next-Gen...

 

As the world awaits the release of the PS5 and the Xbox Series X|S, SteelSeries is already getting ahead of the game with the release of the Arctis 7P & 7X headsets, designed to work seamlessly with the next-gen consoles. While the 7X is designed to work specifically with Xbox consoles and the 7P with PlayStation consoles, both are still compatible with PC, Android and the Nintendo Switch.

 

9.0 ROCCAT Elo Headsets

 

Recently, ROCCAT released their new line of headsets - the 'Elo' lineup. Featuring a wired 3.5mm Stereo model, a wired USB 7.1 model and a wireless Bluetooth 7.1 model, the Elo lineup is extremely versatile. As ROCCAT is a brand owned by Turtle Beach (which focuses on PC peripherals), there are a number of Turtle Beach technologies to be found within. We got a chance to try all three headsets and are ready to ...

 

Creative SXFI Theater Headset

 

While I'm apt to always purchase headsets with universal uses - i.e. I can take it with me to work for music, I can play using my Switch, and can have great audio with my Xbox - there are situations were a single headset performs a single feature so well, that I'm fine making the investment in order to have a superior experience. That's where I landed when reviewing the Creative SXFI Theater headset. While it's ...

 

9.0 Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2

 

With the Gen 2 Stealth 600 available soon on Xbox One – and already available on PlayStation 4, we wanted to make sure our initial impressions of the newest generation of the Stealth 600 were up for your pleasure, and once again, Turtle Beach is all about comfort and quality with this sub $100 headset. Comfortable ear cushions that are glasses friendly – really folks, not every company is doing that these ...

 

9.0 Creative’s Aurvana Trio Wir...

 

Not too long ago, Creative revealed its Super X-Fi technology and began implementing it in many of their new headphones. The Aurvana Trio Wireless is a neckband set of earbuds that promises extremely high audio quality without the hassle of bulky headphones or tangled wires. Neckbands might be the most uncommon type of headphone when compared to typical fully wired or wireless earbuds or traditional over-the-ear ...

 

8.5 Creative BT-W3 Bluetooth Transmit...

 

For all of the technological advancements that are flying towards us at an increasing rate, there are still many gaps in compatibility that are glaring when you end up on the wrong side of them. Bluetooth connectivity is one such gap. Even though more and more headsets and audio devices are Bluetooth enabled, it is wild to think that current-gen consoles do not have native Bluetooth functionality. Enter the ...

 

9.0 Creative T100 Desktop Speakers

 

With so much of the PC audio focus centered on headphones and wireless headsets, it can be easy to forget how enjoyable a nice set of desktop speakers can be. Whether you are just putting some music on in the background, showing your friends a YouTube video or settling in to watch some Netflix on your PC, desktop speakers allow for a relaxing and non-isolated listening experience. The good folks over ...

 

8.5 Turtle Beach Elite Atlas Aero

 

Last fall, we reviewed Turtle Beach’s latest line of PC Gaming headsets, the ‘Atlas’ lineup. The flagship of the Atlas line was undoubtedly the Elite Atlas, featuring crisp surround sound, clear microphone audio, unrivaled comfort and durability and complete compatibility. All of this was provided at the very reasonable price point for a gaming headset of $100USD. Now, Turtle Beach has taken the Elite Atlas and ...

 

9.5 Creative Outlier Air

 

Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds are all the rage now, and while the marketplace use to be dominated by Apple Air Pods and the Samsung Equivalent, more and more companies are getting in on the action, and everyone is in competition to see who can get the biggest piece of the market pie. The most shocking revelation while researching for this review is what people want in Bluetooth earbuds, and it wasn’t what I ...

 

9.0 Creative SXFI AIR

 

A few weeks ago, we took a look at the Creative SXFI AIR and what made it stand out against other headsets. What we found out was that the Holographic Audio technology utilized by the headset is intended to provide an outstandingly realistic audio experience that aims to fool the user into believing the audio they are hearing is natural and genuine. While hearing the phrase 'holographic audio' for the first time ...

 

Creative Redefines Pinnacle of So...

7.0 Turtle Beach Recon 70 Headset

 

Turtle Beach is one of the biggest companies for console accessories and is known for providing a wide range of products that fit every user's needs. With this in mind, we took a look at one of their budget headsets, the Turtle Beach Recon 70. Recently, more and more brands are offering budget and mid-tier products as they begin to realize that the casual gamer does not necessarily need top-level accessories, or ...

 

9.5 Creative Sound BlasterX H6

 

I must admit that I have not heard much from Creative in the way of accessories lately. Years ago, I remember them being at the top of the food-chain when it came to desktop speakers and various other accessories. Computers, and what we do with them, has changed greatly over this time. Now, with the gaming accessory market being so large and the competition so high, how is Creative keeping up? Let's take a look!
