Gaming headsets differ from regular headphones in one major way: they include a boom microphone. But that does not mean that they should offer only second-rate sound quality. Game performance can only be improved by highly accurate, precise sound. Some gamers prefer the convenience of a Bluetooth connection, while others prefer wired because of its complete absence of latency – delays in the delivery of the sound. The faster the response, the higher your score.
At Addicted To Audio we carry gaming headsets from the audiophile headphone company Audeze. Audeze gaming headsets use planar magnetic driver technology, rather than the more common dynamic speaker drivers. These deliver heights of detail and responsive performance known from only the best headphones. Models are available with Bluetooth or wired – or both. One model even delivers surround sound, thanks to built-in head tracking and room emulation.
There are two great ways to buy gaming headsets. The best way for most people is at a quality retail outlet in your city. That way you can have a listen, try them out, see whether they feel like a good “fit” for you. But if you’re confident that you already know what you want, consider purchasing your headsets direct from us at Addicted To Audio. We are an authorised New Zealand reseller for all our products. We provide full service and after sales support. And we ship fast.
