Headphone Reviews

One of my favourite video game accessory makers, EPOS, has launched new colours for the EPOS H3Pro Headset, and we've been trying them out for the past few weeks. Everything I love about EPOS is present in this headset, and while the price point is still a bit high for many - perhaps myself included - the quality of both the product and the audio are second to none. If you have the money to spend, any headset from EPOS is a good bet, but today I'm recommending the H3Pro.

As the gaming industry continues to grow, so too does the number of companies who are making high-quality gaming accessories. EPOS is a long-standing brand for professional headsets, in fact they are well known for providing headsets so reliable that they are used by air traffic controllers. For a company that is equipped to handle the pressures of a product whose reliability can be a life-or-death situation, making gaming headsets shouldn't be an issue whatsoever. So let's dive in and see how the EPOS H6PRO performs!

Silly Lord of the Rings pun aside in the title, I went in with a bit of skepticism when folks began talking about their review units of this product, saying things like, "It's the only headset you will need" and "It says hybrid for a reason." Really, one headset to replace all others in my collection? Get out of here. Granted, I started a bit late on this review for the H3 - a solid week after it arrived was finally when I had time to unbox this thing, but I was not disappointed.

Razer recently released the second generation of their wireless earbuds, the Razer Hammerhead. These earbuds aim to combine the function of a high-quality audio experience with the gamer chic style that Razer is so well known for. The Hammerhead Gen 2's are priced at a little over half of the Apple AirPods' retail price, so it is clear that they are trying to make a serious play at this market. That is all well and good, but how do they truly fare when put to the test? Let's dive in and take a look!

Considering its manufacturer is best known for flashy, gamer-oriented accessories, Razer's Barracuda X headset is the last thing you might expect, stylistically. Do not be fooled by its modest appearance, however, as this is one headset that boasts serious multi-platform compatibility. The Barracuda X accepts both wired and wireless connections (through its own USB-C dongle) that is compatible with PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Android mobile devices. Very reminiscent of Razer's Opus line, the Barracuda offers a seamless comfort with little to no ...

The latest gaming headset from ROCCAT, Turtle Beach's PC accessory brand, represents a serious step forward into the mid-high end headset market with the ROCCAT Syn Pro Air. It seems that they have used the previous 'Elo' series to springboard into the higher-end market. And let me tell you, the Syn Pro Air makes an impressive splash. Aside from a few minor hiccups along the way, our extensive testing found almost nothing that would make us shy away from recommending the latest ROCCAT wireless headset, the Syn Pro Air.

Razer recently released the Razer Opus X headphones, which are a more affordable version of last year's release, Opus. The Opus X headphones hit the market at roughly half the cost of the former model, and are extremely similar with only a couple differences. While not solely targeted towards gamers, the Opus X does feature a low-latency 'Gaming Mode' that ensures there is minimal lag for in-game sounds. Anyone who has tried to use a pair of all-purpose headphones for gaming knows just how big of a deal that really is. At half the price of their predecessor, ...

The Nintendo Switch has often lacked a solid Bluetooth / wireless audio accessory. There have been Bluetooth adapters on the marketplace - some of which we have really liked - but not one where the company legitimately marketed the product as a true Nintendo Switch accessory. Enter the EPOS GTW 270 Hybrid, a high priced headphones product that is looking to not only change how we play on our Nintendo Switch units, but also how we use other USB enabled devices. Let's dive in!

As the world awaits the release of the PS5 and the Xbox Series X|S, SteelSeries is already getting ahead of the game with the release of the Arctis 7P & 7X headsets, designed to work seamlessly with the next-gen consoles. While the 7X is designed to work specifically with Xbox consoles and the 7P with PlayStation consoles, both are still compatible with PC, Android and the Nintendo Switch.

Recently, ROCCAT released their new line of headsets - the 'Elo' lineup. Featuring a wired 3.5mm Stereo model, a wired USB 7.1 model and a wireless Bluetooth 7.1 model, the Elo lineup is extremely versatile. As ROCCAT is a brand owned by Turtle Beach (which focuses on PC peripherals), there are a number of Turtle Beach technologies to be found within. We got a chance to try all three headsets and are ready to let you know which one you should consider snagging!
