Alberta VentureJune 2010 "Billed as “a radical departure” from any other headphone on the market, some innovative headphones have captured the attention of gamers and audiophiles and are propelling a tiny startup in Calgary into the heart of the global gaming industry."
GetConnectedApril 2009 "This really immerses you into any type of gaming you are doing. ... These guys have taken it to the next level. ... You'll want to check these out."
AskMen.comFebruary 2009 "Psyko Audio Labs took the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show by storm when it announced and debuted the 5.1 gaming headphones. Specialized to work in conjunction with the latest generation of games, the Psyko 5.1 offers true spatial surround sound and several game-exclusive features all within a simple headphone set."
PC MagJanuary 2009 "The advantage of the Psyko approach is that it involves no audio processing at all, so there's no latency between when your computer spits out sound and when you hear it."
IEEE Spectrum OnlineJanuary 2009 "An acoustic engineer uses waveguides to combine a true directional sound with the privacy of headphones."
Crunch GearJanuary 2009 "I've tried on some true surround-sound headphones before, and let me tell you that it really does make a difference. The ones I tried though, although they sported multiple speakers within the cups aren't nearly as radical as this setup from Psyko Audio."
Geek.comJanuary 2009 "Psyko Audio Labs just announced their 5.1 audio directional headphones designed for gaming. Previously, headphones for gaming could only deliver stereo audio. These are significant because they deliver 5.1 surround sound-which means that playing games like Left 4 Dead with these will make the experience all the better."
IGN.comJanuary 2009 "Just when we thought we had seen it all when it comes to gaming headphones-5.1 surround sound, active onboard preamps, dedicated control systems, etc.-a company comes along with a design that innovates rather than replicates."
USAToday.comJanuary 2009 "When used with a computer that has a 5.1-channel audio card, these headphones accurately give gamers a true (and private) surround sound experience for the video games, movies and multi-channel music. Much like a 5.1 setup in a home theater, every sound is delivered with the correct direction, timing and volume difference for each ear."
Yahoo! TechJanuary 2009 "I tried a little "Call of Duty" action with the Psykos (gotta love the name), and for once, I had the sense the screams, gunfire, and explosions were actually coming from behind my head-much better than the gimmicky surround sound I've heard on other headsets."
Computer ShopperJanuary 2009 "It may look like something that fell out of Halo 3 and landed in a puddle of orange paint, but the Psyko 5.1 Directional Audio gaming headset just might be what you need to get that all-important edge in your next frag fest."
DVICEJanuary 2009 "I'm normally pretty skeptical of "gaming gadgetry" as usually it's just repackaged, cheaper tech sold to a niche market. Calgary-based Psyko Audio Labs, however, has a bona-fide draw: the speakers aren't in the earphones, but along the headband."
WiredDecember 2008 "The other gadget we're into is the Psyko 5.1 gaming headphones, which 'won' the best design and engineering for headphones." |
