Edmund_McGowan · August 28

Take your headphones off and listen carefully, for today we’re taking a journey into the Predator Galea gaming headset lineup. Think about the importance of sound in the games you play: whether you’re listening out for approaching enemies, or communicating with your squad, sound is clearly as important as vision. A good gaming headset will help get you on track towards gaming victories and give you an edge over the competition, whatever games you’re playing.

When it comes to selecting a decent gaming headset, hearing is believing. For now though, you’ll have to take it from us that there’s a headset for every occasion among the 5 models in the Galea squad. If you’re looking for a good headset for gaming, then read on to discover why we think you need a specialized gaming headset. Then we’ll cover the Galea line up to help you choose the headset that’s right for you.

Why do I need a pair of gaming headphones/headset?

I hear you ask this sensible question, after all, you’ve already invested your hard earned money in keyboards, mice, mouse pads and possibly even gaming controllers, and other accessories. To do your question justice, let’s step back from our gaming exploits for a moment and take a closer look at the origins of Galea. A galea was the helmet worn by legionaries and centurions, soldiers in the armies of ancient Rome. Wrought from bronze and iron, these helmets were a key part of the Roman soldier’s armor, and played an undeniable role in the many victories of this once great empire. While it may be unlikely that you’re a modern day or ancient Roman soldier, a Galea gaming headset can most definitely help you achieve gaming victories, no matter what the campaign is!

Hail Galea! History lesson over, gamers like you need a gaming headset for

several important reasons that we’ll cover below:

Immersion: As you well know, immersivity is the driving force behind most of today’s gaming tech. Headsets are no different, and high-quality audio with deep bass as well as clarity combine to enhance your gaming experience. By creating an immersive soundscape, gaming headsets increase your level of engagement in every game you play. Noise-cancelation is another feature of many gaming headsets. By blocking out the noise outside, and inside your house, you’ll be able to concentrate on pursuing gaming victory with minimal distractions. Immerse and succeed!
Communication: If you’re playing multiplayer games, a gaming headset with a mic is an essential bit of kit. A built-in microphone enables effective communication with your team: strategic coordination, decision making, organization and teamwork will quickly become second nature.
Positional audio: Surround sound delivers spatial awareness, crucial in certain game genres such as FPS. Wearing a headset with surround sound, you’ll be better able to locate the direction of noises like rustling leaves, footsteps, voices and gunfire. By swiftly deciphering the direction of various sounds, you’ll also be prepared to rapidly deal with them.
Comfort: A proper gaming headset is basically the opposite of the single use ear chafers you may have been subjected to on airplanes. Comfort is king, and lightweight construction, cushioning and intelligent adjustability are a few of the features that you can expect. Long gaming sessions don’t have to be physical self-torture sessions: comfortable gaming headsets reduce discomfort and keep the wolf of fatigue from the door.
