Turtle Beach Elite Pro
Turtle Beach have completely redesigned their latest
headset from the ground up, pitching their best effort
at gear catered to eSports and professional gamers. You
wanna be the best? Start here. The Turtle Beach Elite Pro is
created specifically with eSports pros in mind, and features
a new ComfortTech Fit System with a multi-faceted
adjustment rig that genuinely allows for a perfect fit every
time. The Aerofit Ear Cushions only add to the comfort,
utilising a gel-infused foam to not only keep your head
cool, but also isolate sound for superior acoustic quality.
Also noteable is the Elite Pro's revolutionary Glasses
Relief system – a single button press indents the earcups
on the headset, removing the pressure from your head
if you wear glasses. Genius! The Turtle Beach Elite Pro is
the headset for those wanting to take themselves to the
next level. Comfortable, sleek, and with a superb quality of
sound, it doesn't get much better than this.

Logitech keyboard(s) – G610/G810
Logitech’s G-Series of keyboards are all about the aesthetics and the
key responses. The G610 and the G810 are relatively similar; the difference
being that the G610 uses Orion Brown Cherry MX keys, whereas the
G810 employs the mechanical Romer-G keys. Also noteworthy is the G810
features the full Spectrum of available colour combinations for keyboard
backlighting (16.8 million, to be exact), whereas the G610 will only light up
in white. The difference in backlighting might seem minor to some, but it
has proved to be a point of difference when it comes to price, in particular.
While the G610 will set you back just over $200, you’re looking at $50 more
for the G810 – that’s the price you pay for mechanical keys and pretty lights.
Ultimately, these two keyboards perform supremely well and look great,
too. So if you’re in the market for a new set of keys, perhaps look at these
two, and take your pick as per your lighting preference.
Astro A50
An updated version of Astro’s A50 range of
headsets has been revealed, and boy are we in for a
treat. The new customisable A50 improves on the previous
model in a myriad of ways. The trademark Astro audio features
accurate, audiophile-grade performance regardless of what you’re
listening to, and the Dolby 7.1 surround sound allows for an ultra-
immersive experience. Feel like you’re really crawling the trenches in
Battlefield, and hear that sneaky Foxy before he sees you in Five Nights
at Freddy’s. The A50 is immensely comfortable, lightweight and durable,
meaning you can take it anywhere without fear of damage or wear and tear.
With more than 15 hours of battery life, you can play Overwatch and raid
loot boxes to your heart’s content. It’s wireless, too, so trips to the pantry
between games are a blast. Pre-orders are now open at JB Hi-Fi for
wave one stock, so order now for delivery late August. Limited stock is
available, so get in fast – you'll want these!
