A teaser was released on the internet showing off a new headset from the memory manufacturer and it looks like they&#8217;re aiming for the high-end market.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_54502\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/GSkill-Headset-teaser.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54502\" class=\"wp-image-54502 \" title=\"GSkill Headset teaser\" alt=\"GSkill Headset teaser\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/GSkill-Headset-teaser.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-54502\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">G.Skill Headset teaser<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The angular design is interesting and it looks like the ear pads are soft, leatherette cushions. That&#8217;s going to be really nice to wear during a few hours of League of Legends or Call of Duty. The ear pods also appear to swivel, although its more likely that the gap there just hides the adjustment sleeve.<\/p>\n<p>From what we see so far, it seems to be similar in design to the Razer Electra, although the earpods have a swivel hinge to allow for a better fit. Many headphones that I&#8217;ve tested get this so wrong, so I hope G.Skill paid attention to this.<\/p>\n<p>G.Skill has only announced that they&#8217;ll be showing off some new headsets, but they may also have more surprises in store, including a mouse or two and perhaps even a keyboard. Their memory is great and they&#8217;ve already earned a spot in the enthusiast circle with some daring to utter the G.Skill name in the same sentence as Corsair. I hope they do more than headsets in the future.<\/p>\n<h6>Source: <a title=\"G.SKILL To Announce Brand New Gaming Gear at Computex 2013\" href=\"http:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/184542\/g-skill-to-announce-brand-new-gaming-gear-at-computex-2013.html\" target=\"_blank\">TechpowerUp<\/a><\/h6>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More Hardware News:<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/54359-waterproof-coating-for-motherboards.html\">Waterproof coating for motherboards<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/54424-evga-announces-its-complete-gtx780-lineup.html\">EVGA announces its complete GTX780 lineup<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/54408-nvidia-gtx780-already-available-in-sa-pricing.html\">Nvidia GTX780 already available in SA \u2013 at a price<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Memory manufacturer wants to move into high-end gaming headsets.
