Psyko 5.1 Gaming Headset

The Psyko 5.1 gaming headset is unlike any set of earphones you will have used or seen. They have a very chucky exterior and look very aggressive. Putting them next to any other headset and you are guaranteed that they will overpower them. The headset has a 3-tone appearance, red/orange, silver and grey. Without this colour-scheme the headset already has a lot of depth to it, but with this colour design the headset has even more depth and intesity.


An overview of the Psyko 5.1 Gaming Headset


The bridge that runs across each earphone is the focal point in this headsets assertion as a 5.1 solution. This bridge effectively imitates a typical 5.1 surround sound system. There are two channels that run around the front of the headset and around the back too. These channels provide directional sound - front and back and should support gamers by giving them better awareness of opponents. The individual speakers within this bridge provide directional sound such as front-right, back-right. The sound being output to these speakers flows through the WaveGuides. Each earphone you will notice has a channel running up the front and back - sound travels through these channels into the giving directional 5.1 surround sound.

Each of the earcups feature a window that can be tilted to move them into an open or closed state. The idea behind this is that during gaming sessions you are able to open the windows with a quick touch making it possible to hear fellow gamers or even allow air to pass through if its getting particularly clammy in there. Opening the windows can also alter the audio tones.

Lastly, looking at the inside of the earcups - within the domes are dedicated subwoofers. Sound that travels down the channels (WaveGuide) ultimately is output here. On the outer earcup there is cushioning that provides a very comfortable feel. On most of the headsets we have reviewed at Vortez we have seen polyurethane used, or typically called 'memory foam' the Psyko headset doesn't use this material sadly but instead a foam material is used covered by a soft fabric.

The earphones on the Psyko are fully adjustable, so whatever sized head you have - this headset will fit no problem. Each earphone slides up and down within the arches.
