What is it?
A gaming headset with advanced wireless technology.
Good points?
Utilising a 5.8GHz dual-band dongle, the E910 headset all but eliminates interference from devices occupying the same area and competing for bandwidth. This frequency gives a low latency connection and stable sound transmission up to 15 metres (49 feet).
Although the device includes a USB dongle there are no software drivers needed to complete the set up. You simply plug and play to take advantage of the impressive 7.1 virtual surround sound experience.
Audio is immersive thanks to the powerful built-in magnetic neodymium speaker and 50mm dynamic driver that leans heavy on the bass to cater for high-octane games. Altering the output is easy with the accompanying software which tailors the sound to your tastes.
A neat feature is the one-key switch which allows you to go between 7.1 virtual sound and stereo instantly – a quick way to swap between gaming and music audio without the need for multiple audio devices.

A dedicated sound recognition microphone identifies ambient noise and transmits that to an elimination chipset that isolates annoying external distractions.
The adjustable headband and thick ear cushions are made from leatherette and memory foam which makes them comfortable to wear, even with glasses.
Bad points?
The power-hungry technology means the lithium battery is limited to 10 hours.
Best for ...
Those looking for an all-round wireless headset capable of seamless transition from music to playing games on most modern consoles.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
