Why should you use a good headset for gaming?

Whether you are an avid gamer or audiophile, one thing that you can be sure of is that your neighbors, siblings, parents, spouses or roommates will get sick of your pounding music and never-ending onslaught of machine-gun and rocket fire coming from your room while you are enjoying your computer or gaming console. Combine that with the barrage of shouting at your desktop microphone to coordinate your teammates and an unknowing visitor listening at your door might think you are just about ready to be trucked off to the funny farm. If you are constantly getting flak for being too loud, maybe it is time to take a look into investing into a quality gaming headset to enjoy your gaming and music listening without alienating everyone around you.

theBoom’s Speech Recognition legacy

theBoom’s technology was invented to achieve high speech recognition accuracy in extremely noisy environments. The technology proved to be so successful at providing clear audio in extremely noisy environments that theBoom headsets went on to gain popularity in several diverse applications including mobile phone use, VoIP applications, Military and Aviation, among others. theBoom is now available in several models : theBoom v4, theBoom “O”, theBoom “E” and theBoom Quiet, that combine varying fit preferences and additional features.

How good is theBoom’s technology for Gaming?

The effectiveness of theBoom technology for speech recognition has been proven using direct speech recognition accuracy studies as well as indirect standard methods such as the Modified Rhyme Test (MRT), both in-house as well as by independent testers including the U.S. military and commercial technologists.

theBoom headsets are ideal for gaming since they provide crystal clear audio even when there’s noise all around the speaker, increasing the immersion in gameplay without introducing extraneous noise. theBoom’s unique technology even allows the speaker to just “whisper and be heard”, eliminating the need to shout over the background noise. This can prove extremely valuable in successfully warning teammates about dangers that they are unaware of in multi-player shooter games like the Halo Series, Counter-Strike or co-ordinating attack runs in Combat Flight Simulators. In role-playing games like World of Warcraft, it would greatly enhance communication of valuable information by virtually eliminating the need to repeat yourself.

Gamers are also somewhat familiar with the “echo” caused by feedback from the speaker into the microphone, which typically happens with desktop microphones and speakers. This echo can also make an ugly appearance when using other headsets that do not have a good noise Canceling microphone, especially at high sound volumes when explosions, other players’ speech and other in-game noises can bleed thru into the microphone and cause annoying echo. theBoom headsets eliminate such echo by virtue of the unparalleled noise Canceling microphone.

Other benefits of using theBoom headsets

theBoom headsets are designed with universal connectivity in mind, and can be used with a wide variety of devices in addition to your home computer or gaming console. Adapters are available for PC sound cards, PC/Mac/gaming console USB ports, most cell phones, home and office phones and PDAs.

With theBoom headsets, you can use one headset for all your communication and speech recognition needs.

Summary

theBoom headsets give you an ideal gaming experience by providing a combination of:

Excellent audio clarity

Elimination of extraneous background noise from gameplay

Elimination of echo caused by feedback from speaker to microphone

Full immersion in gameplay without disturbing neighboring non-players such as family or roommates by allowing you to “whisper and be heard”.
