I may have overlooked this headphone’s biggest strength — Earlier this year, I wrote a full review of the popular Hifiman HE400SE headphones. I thought they sounded decent for the price, but a combination of small comfort and technical issues knocked them down from the internet’s hype pedestal, at least for my personal tastes. I like to keep interesting…

A true ray tracing showpiece! — 2022 has plenty of “safe” choices for Best Game of the Year. …

If you liked PS2 action games you’ll probably enjoy it — The odds are good that you’ve forgotten about Gungrave, if you ever even knew what it was in the first place.

Yes, this is really the name that Monoprice went with for this headphone. It’s printed on both the box and online store listings, and it’s one of the most hilarious and…

An excellent new budget choice? — Skullcandy hasn’t been in the gaming headset space for a while.
