AudioFX2 Gaming & Audio Headset

Gaming is fun, and it can get fairly loud depending on what you’re playing, and sometimes it’s nice to be able to use a headset to keep the noise all to yourself. In my situation, I’ve got three small children, they really don’t want me downstairs jamming on Guitar Hero or killing zombies in Left4Dead at all hours of the night, so if I want to play either PC or console games at night I need to use a headset. I’ve been using the SteelSeries 5h V2 Gameing Headset for quite a while now as I like them and they fulfill my wants and needs for gaming, but of course there are others out there and that’s what I’m taking a look at today.

eDimensional has sent me over their new AudioFX2 Gaming & Audio Headset to take a look at, it’s got a couple features like force feedback, detachable microphone. The force feedback part is essentially bass drivers that do require extra power via the included USB connection or the included external battery pack. I can say they are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time so that’s a big positive there, but read on to learn more…

First up we’ve got the unboxing video for you along with still pictures, check them out and continue on:

There’s nothing to the installation of this headset, it just used the standard 3.5mm jacks, so just stick it in basically.

To use the force feedback feature you can use USB power, or the included battery pack, you’ll have to install batteries in it though, just two ‘AAA’ batteries and you’re all set.
