How They Work
The Psyko 5.1 PC Gaming Headset™ is a radical departure from any other headset you have ever seen. For starters the speakers are not placed in the ear cups. The speakers are placed above your head in the bridge of the headphone.
Psyko places every speaker in a precise location to create the correct timing and volume differences to both ears just like sounds in a room around you, the resulting audio sounds completely natural. The WaveGuides direct all the front sounds to flow past the front of your ears, and all the rear sounds to flow past the rear of your ears just like how sounds interact with your ears in a room system.
There is no signal processing involved so there is no latency introduced, and because we simply recreate the natural conditions of a room, the headphones will work for anyone, to the limits of their audio acuity.
