This review is from: Edimensional Audiofx Gaming Headset (Personal Computers)

This headset is an absolute must for any hardcore gamer, especially if you play any of your games online. I have found these headphones to be superior not just to all of the cheap lightweight headsets on the market, but to other pure headphones that I have tried as well. The sound quality is excellent, so much that I can hear little details with these headphones that I can't hear otherwise. The vibration feature is everything that it is advertised to be and more. It's one of those things that I don't want to live without now when I play my games. It can be overpowering if you turn it up too high, but if you fine tune it, it adds a subtle layer of intensity to any first person shooter or any game with lots of explosions or heavy sounds. The microphone is too short, but I haven't had any problems with it. It's a little bit like using a cell phone.

My only problem with these headphones is that the durability isn't what I would have hoped for. I am on my third set in about three years, but I would never buy anything else. I have never come close to finding anything else that augments my gaming experience like these headphones, and if you are still in doubt, I highly recommend them.

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Edimensional Audiofx Gaming Headset (Personal Computers)

The AudioFX simply blows away anything else in the price range. Normally I would say it fits into the under $50 price range, but the sound quality and noise canceling mic beats virtually all other sub-$100 headsets I've tried, not to mention the incredible force feedback effect. This is a great implementation of force feedback technology, because you can actually sense which direction sounds are coming from. So if you're in a FPS game, you can sense bombs going off ahead of you and feel the recoil of your rifle blast. You can also head footsteps approaching, especially down the dark halls of Doom 3. The lights on the side don't provide any real benefit, but they look cool at LAN parties and definitely get some attention. I'm super-happy with this headset and I've gotten a lot of other people to buy them as well.

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Edimensional Audiofx Gaming Headset (Personal Computers)

I first bought a pair of EDimensional AudioFX force-feedback headphones about two and a half years ago, and I'm buying another pair right now after my 2.5 year old pair finally broke (they fell off the desk and the plastic which holds both earpieces to the headband cracked. They were dangling by the wires and I taped them up but it just doesn't do them justice).

First off, to dispel the myths, do not be confused by other reviews which say listening to music is terrible. The vibration effect IS highly undesirable while listening to music, and it CAN and SHOULD be turned off. The vibration effect is there when you want to use it. To come into purchasing these headphones with the thought that everything you can possibly listen to on them will be better with vibration effect is sheer idiocy. That's comparable to when you hear people with cheap but powerful sound systems in their cars, where the sub woofers crank out so much vibration that the whole trunk rattles. You want power and sound quality, but vibration is generally UNDESIRABLE. If you want front-row rock concert style where you can feel the music, you don't need a vibration effect, you need sheer volume. You need to buy a large sound system capable of blasting out high-powered sound-waves you can actually feel. That's not the point of this headset.

Now to properly adjust your force-feedback experience, there are three controls on the wire-control: volume, vibration, and an on-off switch for the vibration. Almost everybody nowadays is familiar with in-wire volume control, the vibration on-off is great for switching between your games and other listening activities, and the vibration control dial is great for tuning in the effect exactly where you want it to be. And to dispel another myth of this headset, when you turn off the vibration, the bass on the headphones in music or movies sounds great. Nothing is lost because vibration is off, nor does the headset rely on the vibration effect for its bass. It sounds great.

The sound quality of the headphones is outstanding. Sound output quality is excellent; microphone input quality is equally excellent. The microphone is short but proper placement is about 3-4 inches away from the corner of the mouth. In this position I've never had any problem communicating through VoIP programs or using sound-controlled programs on the computer after correctly configuring the microphone input levels. The sound quality is great for all around computer use, listening to music, watching movies and online video, communication over VoIP, etc. And when you're playing games, the force-feedback feature makes for a great time.

As far as durability is concerned, I'm not sure where a few other reviewers are having their problems. I'm replacing a two year old set right now, and these guys have gone through a lot. They've been back and forth between college dorm and home several times a semester; tucked in a laptop case as I take them along whenever I take a laptop; survived several hundred falls off my desk; sustained the continual beating that goes with taking them off quickly, tossing them on the desk, and other typical less-than-gentle motions, and it took until this final violent drop from my desk to break them. And while the plastic frame is broken, everything still works.

All in all, it's a great headset that compares in quality to many of the other "top gaming headsets" (which are better classified as popular online gaming fanboy headsets) you find in razer, icemat, steelseries, with the added force feedback feature that you just aren't finding in these other sets. EDimensional even has a higher-quality 5.1 set to keep up with the very high-end sets as well. I would definitely recommend this headset to anyone looking to make a small investment on a good headset which will be reliable for several years.
