What is the advantage to gamers?
Psyko Audio delivers the best precision directional audio through the unique design of the headsets. A gamer gets instant positional awareness and are able to know exactly where their enemies are coming from. What this means to gamers is faster reaction times, improved kill ratios, and more immersive play. In addition, our headphones are a lot easier to setup than a 5.1 room system. Getting speakers positioned in the perfect spot is is difficult and sometimes unconventional. When you wear Psyko headphones, everything is automatically in the right place and you simply need to put them on and you are always in the audio sweet spot. You are positioned to hear everything the way it was meant to sound.
How is this different from normal headphones?
The basic headphone design has not changed dramatically in decades. Everyone still only delivers left sounds into your left ear and right sounds into your right ear with the sad truth being this is not even true stereo, it's dual mono. There are techniques to compensate for this limitation, which require Digital Signal Processing (DSP), but it does not work for everyone and introduces latency. The DSP techniques are like giving everyone generic prescription glasses, they'll work well for some people, but the rest of us, not so much. Our headphones deliver all natural sound that everyone will hear to the limits of their audio acuity, with no latency.
