This $79.99 ($109.95 MSRP) headset includes large circumaural ear pods that completely cover your ears and the padding around the cans and bridge redistribute the weight of the unit during long hours of online gaming. Another unique yet functional feature is the hideaway mic that seamlessly conceals itself in the left side of the headset. 

Our review will pit these headphones against some of our favorite First Person Shooter games like Left 4 Dead 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and Battlefield Bad Company 2. We used these games as our performance testing benchmarks for our last Psyko 5.1 headphone review and will discuss our overall sound experience and other pros and cons we noticed during testing.
