Everglide s-500 Headphone Review
Lincoln 'PrOpHeT' Grixti writes "The Everglide s-500 Headphone is the ultimate tool for gamers that pass long hours using their headset for their gaming needs. It has been designed for gamers, by gamers, with the aid of leading world-wide professionals such as Sander "Voo" Kaasjager and other CPL World Tour Winners. The headset is available for sale with a price tag of $99.99 from Everglide Store. Some might say it's quite expensive for a headset, but when compared to other professional gaming headsets, the price is quite cheap." update Sorry folks, apparently the linked website barfed.
"fantastic contrast between its black and silver colours give the Everglide s-500 a futuristic look that makes it the first one of a genre"
Damn! They were actually able to achieve a contrast between black and silver colours? That's pretty much what I look for in headphones -- high contrast -- and clearly this set is really on the cutting edge.
I only buy products endorsed by Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel.
I like how the submitter misspelled "profit" in his handle.

I see. I knew there was something wrong when my $20 headphones would actually store up the sound for like 10 milliseconds before playing any of it. Thank goodness this company built speaker drivers "faster than most conventional speaker drivers found in traditional headphones, making the Everglide s-500 optimized for millisecond feedback."
Now I can listen to games without my speaker drivers storing up all the sound before spitting it out.
And it's a good thing they optimized these for games because games produce sound, like, way cooler than music can. And it's directional, whereas music just comes in stereo and binaural forms, which aren't directional at all. And they can pinpoint sound to a pixel, which is cool because I have a lot of pixels.
And it's good they made these comfortable, because people who listen to music only spend like a few hours listening, whereas a gamer like myself will typically game for 48+ hours, so I need that extra level of comfort.
And it's cool they reproduce the full 20 Hz - 20 kHz sounds range; just looking at sub-$500, I have yet to find a pair of regular "music" headphones that can do 20 Hz. (Of course they spec their cans at +/-1dB or +/-3dB; maybe these people spec to +/-60dB, in which they might be right.)
Fortunately, if anyone buys these, he or she must be so enamored with the purchase that he/she will think that he/she has the best set of headphones (for gaming) in the world. And ignorant happiness will ensue. So buyer and seller will have achieved their goals.
It is a good idea to store this packaging so to be able to transport the headset in it when going to LAN-Parties and other similar events where you cannot lack not having the Everglide s-500 Headphones.
/snarky, I know
I cannot begin to not misunderstand the failure of grasping the un-concept of this sentence.

Maybe "world's second". I already have a roll of "bio-cellulose membrane" hanging beside the toilet in my bathroom.
You forgot the rest: "To be paid for by gamers' parents, and used in their basements."
