Speedlink Introduced New Maxter Gaming Headset

Today, a shooting or racing game without perfect sounds would seem as mundane as the squeals that were coming out of the Atari console back in the ‘70s. And if you want to be gentle on your flatmates’ and neighbours’ nerves or keep out any external noise, you will probably want to bet on modern headset technology when gaming. Under the name Maxter, electronics specialist Speedlink is now introducing three different varieties of a new high-performance gaming headset. Especially softly padded ear cups, as well as a padded, flexibly adjustable headband, provide ultimate gaming comfort even when pulling an all-nighter. The adjustability of the microphone in combination with high-end internals allow for excellent speech quality. A high-quality and textile-covered cable control module regulates the volume or mutes the microphone when necessary. The red-black design of the headset with matt rubberised exterior shells fits seamlessly into Speedlink’s gaming range — everything matches, and the gaming toolbox can be upgraded one by one depending on one’s budget.

Because both user requirements and budgets can vary, Speedlink is presenting three Maxter editions in total at this year’s Gamescom: The stereo version for PS4 or PC, as well as a 7.1 Dolby Surround version for the premium segment with additional functionalities. Next to virtual 7.1 surround sound, gamers are also awaited by two optional vibration units inside the ear cups. Eye-catching effects and customisability are provided by the LED illumination of the headset in three different colours (red, green, blue and changing colours). On top of that, all Maxter headsets come with a red illuminated microphone tip.

The three Maxter versions will be available in stores starting in autumn.
