GamerFitNation: CES 2013 as you imagine was full of new headphones and headset announcements. One specific pair of Headsets that caught my eye was the military type headset being offered by Plantronics during the Pepcom convention. In this interview, I talk with Lori from Plantronics a company known for making quality headsets and Bluetooth devices such as the gamescom 780 and the backbeat go which we got the chance to see at PaxEast 2012.
Given the rise in online multiplayer games and how vital good audio equipment is to pinpoint enemies and engagements in such games, it comes as no shock that the quality and features of gaming headsets aimed at the gaming market are increasingly on the rise. With e-sports gaining more traction as time goes on, it is only natural that some company cater to the needs of a market of tournament-goers that value a quality headset. That’s exactly what Plantronics has aimed to do with the most recent addition to its GameCom line of headsets, the GameCom Commander.
How does it hold up? Extremely well, albeit with a single notable downside.
Awesome review! Its good to know that the headsets on the market aren't as good as their competitors.
"The Commander headset delivers the best sound and noise-cancellation I have yet experienced, and is built to last for the long term. The 300 U.S. dollar price tag offers a great-sounding experience - as well as a durable piece of hardware."
Happy with my PS3 pulse cans, at $149 with a free copy of Bioshock Infinite they are more than worth the price.
$300?? No thanks.
