Psyko Audio Labs 5.1 Gaming Headphones

By

Summary

  • Product Name: 5.1 Gaming Headphones
  • Manufacturer: Psyko Audio Labs
  • Review Date: January 09, 2009 01:30
  • First Impression: Pretty Cool

The other gadget we're into is the Psyko 5.1 gaming headphones, which 'won' the best design and engineering award for headphones. The headsets come with a 5.1 surround sound and promise to have zero latency, since they come without the crap digital processing that usually gets in the way of easy listening.

According to the manufacturer, these also come with precision directional audio that realistically positions a player within the audio space of a game. This means it could allow a player to react faster to a nearby blown shell in a shooting game and hear it a moment before another player. Sounds tricky, so expect for us to try this out soon to make sure the claims are accurate. The Psyko 5.1 gaming headphones will be shipping in early 2009 with pricing to be announced. This is a small company and they plan on initially selling the headphones direct from their site. If nothing else, they do look pretty cool.
