Awesome sounding ugly headphones coming our way

News from George - Tuesday, 06 January 2009 @ 12:04pm

We call Psyko 5.1 headphones "The Perfect Room" because they deliver the audio experience of the perfect room.

Alright Psyko, so what exactly does that mean?

That audio experience lets you hear where every sound comes from. They improve your positional awareness and your reaction time for improved game play.

While their offered description does point in the right direction, from a retail point of view, customers would turn away slightly unimpressed and a tad confused. When in fact, these sound like a sweet pair of 'phones.

The Psyko 5.1's... I guess erm, you could describe them as surround sound in two little pads? What they mean by improving your positional awareness is as simple as echo location. We judge the distance of objects by how far away they sound. And these claim to be fantastic at it. While also delivering a almost subwoofer under the table effect if you decide to turn off Call of Duty and listen to some fully sic rea band. So similar to those surround sound 5 speaker systems, the most natural sounding headphones, to quote the company themselves.

Psyko rounded up a few gamers

Possibly by means of this man

For their opinions on the headphones. Which they described as "Good."

So being able to hear the grass against your boots, bullets wizz past your head will be.. More realistic than usual. Well by usual I mean, in the world of gaming.

Plug these into your 3.5mm jacks, set your computer to 5.1 speakers... Oh and don't forget to dish out the $299.00 American for them too

So Ugly

These ugly, almost sexual looking headphones are 'coming soon.'

Mmmm I'm not too hot on them. But the design is kind of whacky, and ugly. It's looks like they've gone more so for the design a new woooow step forward in headphones.

Not as whacky as those wooden headphones though.


Yeah I had those Zalman's they were pretty good but they break really fucking easy. Basically just fall apart after a while.
