Headphone News

I4U News have a review of the Genius HS-04U gaming headphones and rate them as a pretty good 7 out of 10. Designed to connect to a spare USB port for use without a sound card, the Genius headphones are a budget choice at $39.99.

The review mentions some nice features like the back-lit volume control and they are described as being comfortable to wear. The sound is also rated as decent but a bit lacking in the bass department. Overall they seem a reasonable purchase for those short on money but there are better options for those willing to pay a bit more.

It’s been a while since I featured a pair of gaming headphones on Headphone News but I couldn’t resist Genius’ new pair of vibrating headphones, the HS-04V.

The full size headphones are, unsurprisingly, designed to vibrate with any bass giving extra realism to bass heavy sounds like explosions, gunshots and engine sounds. The vibration obviously needs power and the ability to power it from either a AAA battery or a USB port is a nice touch.

Priced at a bargain $24.90, the HS-04V also feature nice touches like an in-built microphone and in-line volume control. Available now direct from Genius.

IGN.com have a review of the Motorola HT820 Bluetooth headset and it’s not brilliant but not bad.

They award the headphones a fairly good 7 out of 10 but fail to be impressed by the audio quality. Unfortunately the reviewer felt this Bluetooth headset had absolutely no bass, but was fine for making phone calls, one of it’s potential uses.

However, they were impressed by it’s ease of use, particularly when it came to pairing with other Bluetooth devices.
