Sony is launching two very special headsets into the gaming sector. Each has been designed in response to extensive user research that shows what different gamers want from the appropriate headset.
The DR-GA500 combines a Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoder with unique Sony Virtual Phones™ Technology (VPT) to create convincing 7.1ch 3D surround effects. The signal processing hardware is contained in a compact external unit.
The outcome is a soundscape rich in precision spatial detail that pinpoints everything from a stealthy footstep to the placement of an exploding grenade. This audio environment is perfect for first person shooter (FPS) games where what that you can hear is normally as important as what you will discover.
DR-GA500 brings out the best gaming performance with its superb sound quality. It truly is something you possibly can’t forget, in case you actually need to win the game.
And as every gamer knows, any advantage you would gain can make the adaptation between winning and losing.
Both the DR-GA500 and GA200 headsets may also attract an audience of strategy and online multiplayer games where long stretches of gameplay are the norm. They feature 40mm drive units for outstanding sound quality with resonant, living bass and crisp high frequencies, plus the Sony ‘triple enfolding’ design for the final word in comfortable wear.
Both headsets share exceptional visual appeal due to a striking and individualistic design that sets them aside from the competition. The design features durable materials and is as practical as it’s eye-catching, but the important key’s the relief factor.
The Sony triple enfolding design has its origins in user research underlining the importance of ventilation and avoiding pressure on the ear. It means long sessions of wear and tear without the growing distraction of discomfort.
Both models incorporate a prime quality, compact boom microphone to finish the appropriate feature set for probably the most demanding of gamers.
