Everglide s-500 Headphone Review

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the do-you-ear-what-i-ear dept.

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.

  1. Pinpoint Precision? by eander315 · · Score: 5, Informative
    "...the Everglide s-500 also supplies the user with pinpoint precision from where the sound is coming, being accurate to the pixel from where a footstep or a gunshot is coming."

    What does this mean? Accurate to the pixel? These are just headphones, not a 20-speaker surround system. This whole review is written this way.

    "In fact, making the speaker driver very sensible to minimal audio response resulted in this Headphone to lack in Bass audio quality."

    Not only did the author use "sensible" instead of "sensitive", they also make an erroneous connection between the speaker sensitivity and bass response. In fact, it appears that the author doesn't understand speaker sensitivity. The speakers are supposed to be super-lightweight, so they make sounds faster than regular speakers, so no one can sneak up on you in a game. The result of this is apparently the lack of Bass (why the caps?). Both of those statements make absolutely no sense.

    This review is nothing but a VERY poorly written ad. If you're going to post ads on Salshdot, Taco, at least read the damn things first.
