Sennheiser have produced some unbelievable gaming headsets over time, together with one in every of my present best gaming headset champions, the GSP 370 Wireless. But alas, Sennheiser’s gaming division isn’t any extra, as their dad or mum firm Demant have now spun it out as a separate firm referred to as Epos. The identify will proceed to dwell on as Epos | Sennheiser on a few of their gaming headsets, however we’ll additionally begin seeing a brand new line of premium Epos-only headsets showing over the subsequent couple of months as properly, the primary of which is because of arrive this October.
And to rejoice the event, Epos have launched the world’s most terrifying promotional trailer wherein an formally licensed future man voluntarily will get his eardrums pierced by an enormous pair of gorilla fingers. Let me clarify.
You see, Epos’ large promise is “out of this world gaming audio”, and to show it they’ve made a really Bladerunner-y promo video filled with zippy-sounding electronics, roaring cyber automobiles and different issues they imagine require a high-end gaming headset to totally recognize. Personally, I wasn’t in a position to make it all through the video, partly as a result of pair of creepy, Shining-esque youngsters that observe the primary bloke round, however principally as a result of there’s a second the place a pair of horrifying gorilla arms all of a sudden seem out of nowhere to therapeutic massage blokey’s head earlier than abruptly PIERCING HIS BRAIN in what I can solely assume is a metaphor for mind-blowing audio.
And sure, earlier than you ask, that header picture is an formally okayed picture I used to be despatched as a part of Epos’ press launch.
Disturbing trailer apart, although, I’m undecided a lot will actually change for us (now frankly terrified) people on the bottom in the intervening time. Take a fast gander at Epos’ Gaming section on their new web site, for instance, and also you’ll see their present line-up of latest Epos | Sennheiser headsets are very acquainted. Heck, they nonetheless have the identical mannequin names as their previous Sennheiser counterparts, such because the GSP 600, and their design is strictly the identical, too. The solely actual distinction is that there’s now a barely totally different emblem on the aspect.
Of course, that might all change as soon as Epos begin releasing their very own devoted gaming headsets, however we gained’t know for positive till Epos launch their first one someday this October. Fingers crossed (oh no) they don’t contain any fur or leathery gorilla pores and skin.
