Creative Fatal1ty X-Fi USB Headset

Fatal1tyUSBGamingHeadset
I remember back in the day when the name Fatal1ty was just first being heard around the internets. This was some kid that was making a real name for himself in the professional gaming world by dominating in Quake III Arena, and going on to win (or place very well) in dozens of professional tournaments. Nowadays you don’t hear much about his victories, but you do see gaming products with is stamp of approval on them. The latest such products is the Creative Fatal1ty X-Fi USB Headest.

First, this headset is not going to improve your fragging skills, I don’t care who has their name stamped on it. However, I can bet that this guy has spent more time gaming with a headset on than most of us, so he probably knows what he’s talking about.

Panasonic RP-HJE900 zirconia earphones

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, May 27th 2008 No Comments

I’ve always associated zirconia with cheap jewellery from TV shopping channels, but Panasonic have seemingly chosen it for its ability to quell sound-distortion rather than its faux-glamour. Their RP-HJE900 earphones feature zirconia casings that have particularly low resonance level, unlike traditional plastic shells. They’re also much stronger than plastic, and resistant to scratches.

Audio-Technica ATH-EQ700 retractable earphones

By Chris Davies on Friday, May 16th 2008 3 Comments

Audio-Technica Japan have unveiled their latest headphones, the ATH-EQ700, which pack retractable cables to avoid in-bag tangling. With an adjustable over-ear clip and positionable driver angles to suit different ear shapes, they have a frequency range of 14 – 24,000Hz and 22 ohms impedance. Of course the clever part is the cabling: the cord between the two earphones can extend to up to 50cm, while the main cable can pull out to 1m.

CES 2008: Sennheiser MX W1 wireless earphones with Kleer technology

By Chris Davies on Monday, Jan 7th 2008 No Comments

Sennheiser has partnered with wireless-expert Kleer (who we first featured back in late-2006) to create what has just jumped to the top of my music want-list: the MX W1 wireless headphones, two unattached earbuds and a transmitter dongle/recharging holder that can plug into any audio source for cord-free listening pleasure.

By James Allan Brady on Wednesday, Dec 26th 2007 No Comments

Well, here’s a new logical approach, take the same things that make speakers sound better and apply them to ear buds. Well, JVC did just that and made these ear buds out of wood with what looks like a bass port and everything.

Jabra Bluetooth Dog Tags

I know people are crazy about their Bluetooth headsets but let me tell you something, you look goofy. That’s just my opinion, now, but it had to be said. Luckily, though, there are solutions.

JayBird Bluetooth Stereo Headphones Reviewed

So they are Bluetooth, they don’t have an ugly lanyard attached, and they are really simple to use. There is a small wire that connects behind the head, but that’s about it, all the hardware sits on your ears.

Sure, that sounds uncomfortable, but both halves are balanced as far as weight goes, and they don’t feel uncomfortable at all. The best part, they are made for jogging, and other such activities, so they don’t jiggle, or move, or otherwise feel like they are going to fall off, trust me I tried it. I mean, “My Plague” by Slipknot came up on my computer and started playing, and I went full on headbanger’s ball style, bending at the waist and flailing up and down just like I was at the concert, and nothing moved.

LG removable acoustic transducers

By Reece Bailey Schofield on Friday, Nov 16th 2007 No Comments

I’ve never really been a fan of wireless headsets. It always takes me a second to realize that the man standing next to me in line at the grocery store is actually in the middle of a phone conversation, not the crazed one sided dialog that it seemed. But I’ll make a concession for this cool new concept from LG.
