Improve Your Gaming Experience With The Psyko Audio 5.1 Gaming Headset

If you think modern gaming headsets are still as bulky and as traditional in any way as before, you’re wrong! With the Psyko Audio 5.1 Gaming Headset, you’ll get a unit that provides users with real 5.1 surround sound gaming in an exceptional way. The Psyko Audio technology integrated in this unit will take your gaming experience into a whole new level.
At first glance, you may think this headphone is quite conventional but not until you examine it further, you’ll discover that it actually doesn’t contain a speaker in the headset’s cup. The speakers in this gizmo are strategically located in the unit’s headband in such a way that they transmit sound down the “waveguide,” a tube where sound travels until it arrives to the chamber where your ears then hear the sound. With such set up, you can enjoy exact realistic sound, as you do in real life.

The sound from the rear speakers travels in rear waveguide to deliver sound to the back of the ears with proper volume and timing. Front sounds, on the other hand, move to the front of both ears with accurate directionality and instant positional awareness. This unit actually has five speakers – three speakers send audio to the front part of the ear chamber while the other two send audio to the back. True, this headset has a great way of delivering five channels of audio in a very realistic manner.

Yamaha YHT-S400 Home Theater – Sounds Right, Fits Right

The sound bar measures 31 inches in length and a mere 2 inches in height. The slim profile let it perfectly sit in front of most monster TVs without blocking the view. For added flexibility, the base of the sound bar can be removed or even adjusted to accommodate a horizontal or vertical speaker position. On the other hand, the receiver with the built-in sub-woofer can be placed in a corner, the floor and a rack to save space. The YHT-S400 wouldn’t be high-end without HD Audio compatibility, that’s why it has three 1080-compatible HDMI inputs that can connect to three HDMI sources including Blu-ray disc players.

The YHT-S400 features the best of Yamaha’s audio technology. Yamaha UniVolume maintains the volume consistent among all channels, programs and sources.

Tubular XS-SR3 iPod Dock from JVC

JVC-XS-SR3When looking for some new gadgets to fill your home, consider first specifications then aesthetics. Well, even though the looks just come second, it is important that your gadget would fit your style and preference. Take for example the newly announced JVC XS-SR3iPod dock. It has a tubular design that looks like a circlet surrounding the iPod around which JVC calls wraparound design with a glossy black or silver finish. It has two decently powerful 2.5 watt speakers on both ends of the tube delivering quality music enough to fill a room.

JVC-XS-SR3-blackThis iPod dock has neodymium magnets that ensure clean, crisp sound, while the Dolby Virtual Surround technology makes the impression of a wider sound field. This is in fact according to JVC, the first speaker system to have a Dolby Decoder in it. This technology is used when watching movies, which this dock also promotes with its rotating cradle. Usually, docks have an upright cradle which is the normal position for putting your iPod. But since the iPod Touch and iPhone has landscape viewing capabilities, the cradle on this sound machine can also go landscape mode which is perfect for movie watching. However, the idea might sound weird that you watch a movie closely on the tiny 3.5″ screen while the speaker is blasting right in front of your face. The XS-SR3 has an external input socket for use with DVD players, laptops, computers, etc.

This iPod dock is not yet on store shelves but a couple of JVC iPod docks are already at Amazon.
