Not many headsets can brag about possessing individual volume controls on each cup, even those made for gamers, but the latest in the Genius GX Gaming Series is one of the few who do.
The name of the headphone set is Lychas HS-G550 Foldable Gaming Headset, and the two volume controls let owners choose what to listen to in each ear.
The example given in the press release is for one ear cup to broadcast the sounds of the battlefield and the other to privilege the voices of nearby teammates.
At any rate, it is a much more direct and broad control, over what and how is heard, than normally possible.
Spec-wise, Lychas has 50cm neodymium drivers, a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 KHz, an impedance of 32 Ohms and a sensitivity of 102 dB, give or take 3dB.
Like all self-respecting headsets, the newcomer has a microphone as well (omnidirectional), with a frequency response of 100 Hz - 10 KHz, an impedance of 2.2 kohms / 2VFDC and a sensitivity of 56 dB, +/- 3 dB.
As for the rest, there is actually a significant number of features meant to provide or enhance comfort and ease of use.
Besides the aforementioned individual ear volume control, Genius tossed in an adjustable headband, in-line master volume control, a microphone mute function and a durable, anti-corrosive gold-plated 3.5mm jack.
Finally, the Lychas HS-G550 Gaming Headset boasts a foldable design, with swivel ear cups, for easy transportation. Owners should find it easy to grab it and take it to the nearest LAN party if the need arises.
Prospective buyers from the United States and Canada should be able to find this item at local retailers soon, assuming shipments haven't already arrived. The price is of $49.99, or 40.91 Euro, according to exchange rates.
