Psyko 5.1 PC Gaming Headset
Dec 14th, 2010 | By JaredThe Psyko 5.1 Headset sets its sights for FPS gamers and nails a bull’s eye. Psyko Audio took a new approach to 5.1 audio and nail it as they offer the best positional audio I have heard in a 5.1 headset. The Psyko 5.1′s are bulky but are balanced well so neck fatigue is minimized and vented ear cups help with long gaming sessions or keeping aware of your surroundings.
There really are only two things working against the Psyko PC 5.1′s, the first being they are in essence a one trick pony. While they offer the arguably the best 5.1 surround in a headset, they don’t work very well for music or movies. If you are looking for a general use headset, these are not for you. This brings us to the second thing, price. They command a premium for what is mostly a first person shooter oriented headset.
The Psyko PC 5.1 Headset takes an entirely new approach to 5.1 gaming headsets and delivers on the promise of improving your positional awareness. If you want a general purpose headset these aren’t for you but, if you are a serious gamer and want every advantage you can get in a game, the Psyko PC 5.1 Headset might be just what you are looking for.
