<p>Logitech G announced the launch of the Logitech G522 Gaming headset, a new addition to its award-winning G5 series, designed to elevate both gameplay and personal expression.</p>
<p>“G522 was made for gamers who bring passion and personality to everything they do,” said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of Logitech G. “Whether you’re climbing the ranks, streaming for your audience, or pulling all-night gaming sessions, the G522 ups your game with top-tier performance, features, and style.”</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-63766" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Logitech-G522_Midnight-Black_RRP349.95-03.jpg?x67281" alt="Logitech G522" width="1280" height="1280" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Logitech-G522_Midnight-Black_RRP349.95-03.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Logitech-G522_Midnight-Black_RRP349.95-03-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Logitech-G522_Midnight-Black_RRP349.95-03-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Logitech-G522_Midnight-Black_RRP349.95-03-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Logitech-G522_Midnight-Black_RRP349.95-03-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>G522 builds on the strong foundation of the widely popular Logitech G733 headset, carrying its legacy further while introducing an exciting evolution. At first glance, the family resemblance is clear, but as you look closer, the G522 reveals a fresh, elevated design. It’s all about progression – sleeker curves, a more sophisticated silhouette, and thoughtful design choices that reflect a modern take on performance and style. The sharper edges of the G733 have been transitioned into smooth, flowing lines showcasing a refined aesthetic.</p>
<p>“The G522 headset is the result of meticulous craftsmanship and a relentless attention to detail, every element is intentionally designed to deliver a curated, premium experience,” said Ahmed Riaz, Head of Design at Logitech G. “It builds on a proven formula for success that’s become synonymous with our G5 Series products, combining precision engineering with a deep understanding of what today’s gamers value most.”</p>
<p>G5 Series gamers play a wide variety of games. As a result, the new G522 headset had to perform to the level of the most discerning core gamers and be flexible enough to work seamlessly across all genres and types of gameplay.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-63765" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Logitech-G522_Midnight-Black_RRP349.95-06.jpg?x67281" alt="Logitech G522" width="1280" height="1107" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Logitech-G522_Midnight-Black_RRP349.95-06.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Logitech-G522_Midnight-Black_RRP349.95-06-300x259.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Logitech-G522_Midnight-Black_RRP349.95-06-768x664.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>Designed for long sessions, G522 delivers a significant leap forward in comfort, engineered with community feedback at its core. The ear cups have been redesigned with a wider shape and an added layer of memory foam to enhance cushioning and cooling, wrapped in a new fabric that’s both softer and more durable. A reversible suspension band now rests flatter and more evenly across the head, with added ridges to increase breathability and upgraded materials for extended durability. To ensure all-day comfort for every gamer, our player fit tests included individuals who wear glasses or earrings, making the G522 a headset built for everyone.</p>
<p>At the heart of the headset are new synchronised PRO-G drivers that deliver Logitech G’s highest-fidelity, paired with 48 kHz/24-bit digital signal processing for unparalleled immersion and precision. Gamers can hear subtle in-game cues—like distant footsteps or weapon reloads—with crystal clarity.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-63763" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Logitech-G522_Off-White_RRP349.95-04.jpg?x67281" alt="Logitech G522" width="1280" height="1280" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Logitech-G522_Off-White_RRP349.95-04.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Logitech-G522_Off-White_RRP349.95-04-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Logitech-G522_Off-White_RRP349.95-04-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Logitech-G522_Off-White_RRP349.95-04-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Logitech-G522_Off-White_RRP349.95-04-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>Communication is critical in competitive and online play, and the G522’s 48 kHz/16-bit microphone, enhanced by BLUE VO!CE technology ensures your voice cuts through the chaos. Customise your microphone audio with real-time filters and effects, delivering a professional sound for every session.</p>
<p>The G522 offers tri-mode connectivity, allowing seamless switching between LIGHTSPEED wireless, Bluetooth, and USB-C. It’s built for fluid transitions between platforms, PC, console, and mobile, without the lag or hassle.</p>
<p>G HUB software and the Logitech G mobile app allow gamers to fine-tune their audio with a 10-band EQ, personalise LIGHTSYNC RGB, adjust mic settings, and save up to three custom profiles directly to the headset.</p>
<p>Continuing Logitech G’s commitment to reducing environmental impact, the G522 is crafted with 27% post-consumer recycled plastic and low-carbon aluminium, aligning performance with purpose.</p>
<p>The Logitech G522 Gaming Headset is available now in black and white at LogitechG.com and participating retailers.</p>

<p>Go large on HQ audio with JBL’s new <em>JBL Live 770NC</em> over the head headphones.</p>
<p>Tipped on the bigger side of life, the <em>JBL Live 770NC</em>’s pack a punch and then some with booming bass and detailed highs.</p>
<p>Featuring the dual connectivity you can connect these up to more than one device. This is a feature of JBL’s headsets that I absolutely love.</p>
<p>In my house I have a few devices that can rock a playlist, so for me a headset that I can instantly pick up and play without needing to disconnect just to connect to something else is more than convenience. It’s a necessity.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61360" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/5_3f9ad9fc-73b1-48cf-bb7c-6c29258b779e.jpg?x67281" alt="JBL Live 770NC" width="1280" height="805" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/5_3f9ad9fc-73b1-48cf-bb7c-6c29258b779e.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/5_3f9ad9fc-73b1-48cf-bb7c-6c29258b779e-300x189.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/5_3f9ad9fc-73b1-48cf-bb7c-6c29258b779e-768x483.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>JBL has added Spatial Sound to their buds and headphones for the past few models and this has not escaped the <em>Live 770NC</em>’s.</p>
<p>Spatial Sound gives you an arena or concert hall like virtual atmosphere. It is of course optional and can be toggled on or off via the JBL Live app for iOS and Android.</p>
<p>It’s also within this app you can preset and customize your audio to your liking, as well as turn off (or on) Noise Canceling – which by the way is top shelf.</p>
<p>Even in the noisiest environment such as the CBD all environmental clutter and chaos is totally filtered out.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61363" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/jbl-live-770nc-app-scaled.jpg?x67281" alt="JBL Live 770NC" width="1183" height="2560" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/jbl-live-770nc-app-scaled.jpg 1183w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/jbl-live-770nc-app-139x300.jpg 139w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/jbl-live-770nc-app-591x1280.jpg 591w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/jbl-live-770nc-app-768x1662.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/jbl-live-770nc-app-710x1536.jpg 710w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/jbl-live-770nc-app-946x2048.jpg 946w" sizes="(max-width: 1183px) 100vw, 1183px" /></p>
<p>This also works with hands free calling. This is done via built-in AI, the JBL Live 770NC will adapt its noise cancelation via the noise pollution it detects.</p>
<p>Each ear cup speaker is powered by 400mm drivers ensuring high performance and crispy audio. You also have basic tactile button controls on the headset.</p>
<p>Battery wise, the <em>JBL Live 770NC</em> is unbeatable.</p>
<p>To preserve your battery, the headset will play and pause when you place on or off. This said, the <em>Live 770NC</em> has around 50 hours of continuous use from a full charge, or 65 hours if you do not use Noise Canceling.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61361" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/f42e377318d-hi.jpeg?x67281" alt="JBL Live 770NC" width="757" height="1376" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/f42e377318d-hi.jpeg 757w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/f42e377318d-hi-165x300.jpeg 165w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/f42e377318d-hi-704x1280.jpeg 704w" sizes="(max-width: 757px) 100vw, 757px" /></p>
<p>Making it perfect for long trips or even just use for a few hours over the course of a week and a bit.</p>
<p>I’ve connected up the <em>Live 770NC</em> to both an iOS and Android device and well over a week in, almost two, I still do not need to charge with around 67% remaining and being used for 3 – 5 hours per day on either device.</p>
<p>The <em>JBL Live 770NC</em> packs a lot but doesn’t come with a high price tag. Not at all. Just over a couple of hundred dollars this epic headset is going to see you right for extended periods of media streaming, playlist rocking and even gaming.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p>There are so many options when it comes to headsets, that can vary from the under $100 low end, to the eye wateringly high $800.</p>
<p>The latest <em>Logitech G Astro A50 X</em> sits in that eye watering price range, so the question is, is it worth the money?</p>
<p>The <em>Logitech G Astro A50 X</em> is an interesting beast, as it isn&#8217;t just a headset but also works as a HDMI switcher.</p>
<p>As such there are a lot of cables to juggle your way around at first, but once finished your PS5 and Xbox Series X can be plugged into the headsets dock, and then the dock connects to your TV.</p>
<p>Once you have gone through the rigamarole of setting it up, the benefits are immediate.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60834" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-21-1.jpg?x67281" alt="Logitech G ASTRO A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset" width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-21-1.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-21-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-21-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>With the simple press of a button you can change the headset and TV feed to flick from your Xbox to your PS5.  This is some stealthy serious benefits because despite TV’s having plenty of HDMI ports these days, once you have a SkyBox, a Firestick, a Switch and some consoles in, you can run out of HDMI ports fast.</p>
<p>One thing I have liked a lot about Logitech’s high end headsets are their docks.</p>
<p>Having to remember to plug headsets into a USB cable regularly means I run out of juice mid gaming session.  With the dock, when you put it down it is charging, so that’s seriously awesome.</p>
<p>I didn’t always find it the easiest to connect the headset on the dock, but there is a clear orange light to let you know if you got it right.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60835" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-27-1.jpg?x67281" alt="Logitech G ASTRO A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset" width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-27-1.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-27-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-27-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>But a charging dock and HDMI switching isn’t just what you want to buy this headset for right?</p>
<p>You probably want to hear your games with it too. Well great news, the sound quality in this beast is amazing.  Seriously, between the quality of the mic and the sound, this might be the best headset I have used to date.</p>
<p>Whether you are jamming an action packed game, or watching a movie, I just cannot overstate how excellent the sound in the <em>G Astro A50 X</em> is.</p>
<p>The other major question is the comfort. If you’re jamming some long gaming sessions then you will need to be comfortable during it. The cups have a ridiculously soft foam that feels fantastic on your ears. Instead of opting for the leathery types that some headsets use, these beauties have a nice fabric covering which is much nicer, especially in the heat.</p>
<p>The one thing I would note is I would be careful buying these second hand as they wind up holding onto some skin flakes, as I found on this loaned from Logitech headset.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60837" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-32.jpg?x67281" alt="Logitech G ASTRO A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset" width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-32.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-32-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-32-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>When it comes to style, it’s pretty similar to previous <em>Logitech G Astro A50 X</em> series headsets.</p>
<p>The distinct cylinder style up the sides looks pretty much identical to my older A50’s, and the cups look slightly cooler. Obviously, I can’t guess how long the headset will last, but given it’s similar feeling build, I suspect it will be as sturdy as my older A50’s which have been going strong for a few years.</p>
<p>The serious question is, should you get one.</p>
<p>It is a serious question, because at $800 (NZD) we are talking the entire cost of a new console, or some major component upgrades for your PC.</p>
<p>And honestly, if you can swing it, this headset is worth it. But if pulling $800 on a headset is stretching it for you, there are much cheaper ones that are good enough.</p>

<p>There are more headset brands than I can count out there with price ranges from the “yeah I can swing that”, to the “sweet mother of god, how much for a headset?”.</p>
<p>Well Fifine is a company I hadn&#8217;t heard of, so I was keen to check out their relatively cheap headset with the <em>Ampligame H9</em>.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61177" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Fifine-Ampligame-H9-Headset.jpg?x67281" alt="Fifine Ampligame H9 Headset" width="1280" height="1024" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Fifine-Ampligame-H9-Headset.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Fifine-Ampligame-H9-Headset-300x240.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Fifine-Ampligame-H9-Headset-768x614.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>Opening the box for this headset it is clear the company has it’s priorities right.</p>
<p>Sure some headsets have a fancy box opening experiences.  Foam holding the headset in a way that is an experience. Well, that experience lasts a few seconds but you’ll be using your headset for years, so less faff and more value is better. Opening the box, the <em>H9</em> is just sitting there waiting for you to play.</p>
<p>There is one smaller box inside with the USB-A to 3.5mm adapter and the detachable mic. It’s just simple.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61179" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/FIFINEAmpliGameH9WGaming_1024x1024.jpg?x67281" alt="Fifine Ampligame H9 Headset" width="1280" height="1280" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/FIFINEAmpliGameH9WGaming_1024x1024.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/FIFINEAmpliGameH9WGaming_1024x1024-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/FIFINEAmpliGameH9WGaming_1024x1024-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/FIFINEAmpliGameH9WGaming_1024x1024-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/FIFINEAmpliGameH9WGaming_1024x1024-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>The headset itself looks nice. It clearly isn’t a top end headset, but it doesn&#8217;t look cheap.</p>
<p>The simple grey and white design, the stitched head padding, the little smiley faces on the outside of the cups.  It’s a very nice looking headset.</p>
<p>As for compatibility, this isn’t a bad effort as far as cheap headset go. The built in cable fits into your 3.5mm jack which is perfect for using with console controllers. This cable is very short but is a great length if you are using it for one of those controllers. It comes with a 2m extension which connects it to a USB-A port.</p>
<p>Here it will work with a lot of devices, but these days USB-C is becoming the more common standard.</p>
<p>So you will need to be wary of that.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61176" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/27569_1.jpg?x67281" alt="Fifine Ampligame H9 Headset" width="1280" height="1024" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/27569_1.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/27569_1-300x240.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/27569_1-768x614.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>The flip side is there is some decent functionality in this little fella.</p>
<p>The 3.5mm jack on the extension cord is a little mixer pad. This lets you put volume up and down, increase or decrease the mic pickup and mute it. Again, not going to blow you away, but functional. The mic also detaches which means you can use them as headphones or a headset on the fly.</p>
<p>Speaking of which, there is the biggest question of how they feel and sound. It is  headset after all.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61178" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/FIFINEAmpliGameH9_1024x1024.jpg?x67281" alt="Fifine Ampligame H9 Headset" width="1280" height="1280" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/FIFINEAmpliGameH9_1024x1024.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/FIFINEAmpliGameH9_1024x1024-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/FIFINEAmpliGameH9_1024x1024-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/FIFINEAmpliGameH9_1024x1024-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/FIFINEAmpliGameH9_1024x1024-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>When it comes to comfort, they are very comfortable. The cushioning on the cups are super soft, and the faux leather is comfortable enough. One issue is that it does let a lot of sound bleed through, but again, budget level headsets here.</p>
<p>The sound is really solid too, like not going to blow your socks off, but very solid for the price point with a simulated 7.1 surround compatibility.</p>
<p>As far as headsets go, the <em>Fifine Ampligame H9</em> is fine.</p>
<p>In the price range it is solid, but it is likely not going to be your next top headset. If you are looking at the budget end of cabled headsets, you will be happy with the <em>Ampligame H9</em>.</p>

<p>JBL has launched two new additions to its popular LIVE headphones lineup &#8211; the JBL LIVE 770NC and JBL LIVE 670NC.</p>
<p>“JBL LIVE 770NC and JBL LIVE 670NC bring significant upgrades to our already well-loved family of headphones. This generation of LIVE headphones offer premium features at a mid-tier price, such as Adaptive Noise Cancelling, spatial sound technology and up to 65hrs battery life. It’s great to offer Kiwi consumers so much value at this price point,” says Michael Sherman, Senior Strategy Manager at JBL New Zealand.<br />
Both models in the new range are equipped with 40mm dynamic drivers to deliver JBL Signature Sound, no matter what your preferred style of headphone is.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61119" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/unnamed-2.jpg?x67281" alt="JBL Live Headphones" width="1280" height="642" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/unnamed-2.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/unnamed-2-300x150.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/unnamed-2-768x385.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>JBL LIVE 770NC and JBL LIVE 670NC offer immersive JBL Spatial Sound from any stereo content wirelessly, thanks to high-quality audio with Bluetooth 5.3 technology and LE Audio support*. For those looking for sound performance tailored to individual listening preferences, a customised hearing profile can be set up with HARMAN’s advanced Personi-Fi 2.0 technology.</p>
<p>When it’s time to focus, or get your groove on, advanced JBL True Adaptive ANC technology automatically adjusts to the real world in real time, eliminating distractions and maximising audio quality.</p>
<p>For those times where you need to hear the world around you, such as crossing a busy road, Smart Ambient sharpens the sounds of your surroundings. Phone calls are also a breeze using the headphones, with two beamforming microphones ensuring perfect call quality.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61118" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/unnamed-1-1-1.jpg?x67281" alt="JBL Live Headphones" width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/unnamed-1-1-1.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/unnamed-1-1-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/unnamed-1-1-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>The new LIVE models ensure users stay connected to their tunes on the go, with up to 65 hours of playtime – and if the headphones need to be recharged, the speed-charging technology gives an extra 4 hours of playtime in just 5 minutes.</p>
<p>The JBL LIVE 770NC and JBL LIVE 670NC will be available early 2024 from JBL&#8217;s official <a href="http://jbl.co.nz">website</a> and selected electronic stores.</p>
<p>Both models are available in black, white and blue.</p>

<p>Logitech G has unveiled the Logitech G ASTRO A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset and Base Station, the fifth generation of the critically acclaimed ASTRO A50 Series console gaming headset.</p>
<p>The new ASTRO A5O X is designed to deliver the ultimate console headset experience. With breakthrough innovations in audio and connectivity.</p>
<p>“Over the last decade, the A50 has become an icon in gaming headsets due to its focus on gamer-centric design, premium sound, and superior comfort and durability,” said Ujesh Desai, general manager of Logitech G.  “Our new A50 X elevates this beloved headset with an unmatched level of performance by combining the A50’s award-winning design with several new features and advanced technologies that truly revolutionize gameplay.”</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60834" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-21-1.jpg?x67281" alt="Logitech G ASTRO A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset" width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-21-1.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-21-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-21-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>Comfort, sound, connectivity, communications and compatibility are the keys that gamers look for in an audio solution.  The A50 X combines the design of the original A50, a favorite of console gamers everywhere, with four breakthrough innovations in the console headset market.</p>
<p>Bringing all systems together, PLAYSYNC Technology is an industry first that allows gamers to connect their Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and PC/MAC all at once and seamlessly switch between all three gaming systems with the simple ‘one-click’ of a button on the A50 X headset. When switching between Xbox and PS5 consoles, PLAYSYNC will change what the gamer views on their TV and what is heard in their headset. When switching to PC, PLAYSYNC will change what is heard in the gamer&#8217;s headset. Allowing gamers to decide and easily switch to the gaming experience they want to enjoy at any moment.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60836" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-30.jpg?x67281" alt="Logitech G ASTRO A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset" width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-30.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-30-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-30-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>A50 X is a two-part Base Station and Wireless Headset system that works directly with high performance game consoles as well as 4K UHD Televisions using HDMI 2.1 technology. Using HDMI, the Base Station directs audio wirelessly to the A50 X Headset, while passing the console’s video through to the TV without impacting the source’s intended fidelity and features such as 4K 120Hz HDR, VRR, and ALLM. The result is high performance and ultra-low latency video.</p>
<p>Audio signals are also intelligently routed on A50 X; with the headset docked to the Base Station, audio signals along with video will be passed through to the connected TV. When gamers undock the headset, audio signals will be rerouted to the headset automatically, improving convenience and versatility between open or private listening experiences.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p>With sound being such a critical component in gaming, the A50 X’s PRO-G GRAPHENE Audio Driver has been precision engineered with a 40 mm graphene diaphragm featuring a live edge suspension, to deliver superior audio performance like never before. The new driver delivers improvements in sound reproduction accuracy, time to signal accuracy and distortion reduction, allowing players to identify audio objects more clearly, and more quickly discern their location as objects move relative to the player.</p>
<p>Graphene is a breakthrough material for audio clarity, detail, and spatial timing accuracy. With unprecedented harmonic rigidity these audio drivers reduce distortion while delivering soaring highs, clear mids and rich bass.</p>
<p>Optimized for the multi-platform player who requires the highest levels of audio and visual fidelity, and demands both style and design excellence, the A50 X headset system is purposefully designed to work with high performance game consoles using HDMI 2.1 &amp; USB-C connectivity, allowing A50 X to deliver uncompressed audio at up to 24-bit fidelity.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60837" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-32.jpg?x67281" alt="Logitech G ASTRO A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset" width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-32.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-32-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Logitech-G-ASTRO-A50-X-LIGHTSPEED-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-RRP799.95-32-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>The integrated LED status info panel and the click-in magnetic charging cradle of the A50 X Base Station keeps the headset battery topped off and always at the ready.</p>
<p>Logitech G’s award-winning 24 bit LIGHTSPEED wireless technology is a continuously improving pro-grade solution for quality of sound, reliability in connectivity, and efficiency for epic battery life. The Base Station also features simultaneous <em>Bluetooth®</em> connectivity allowing gamers to mix Discord chat with game audio or listen to music while playing.</p>
<p>The A50 X is Logitech G’s first headset that comes equipped with an integrated high resolution 16 bit 48 kHz LIGHTSPEED microphone, this additional bandwidth lets the microphone capture a much broader spectrum of sound delivering unrivaled performance, clarity, and quality in a boom microphone. A50 X lets players control Game/Chat mix on Xbox, PC—and even their PS5, and balance volume between game and chat with on-ear controls.</p>

<p>JBL has launched four new wireless headphones offering great JBL sound and Wireless Bluetooth 5.3 technology, with over ear and on ear options for a comfortable fit.</p>
<p>Available in blue, black and white, the new JBL Tune headphones utilise JBL Pure Bass Sound technology to pump out your favourite tunes, in a lightweight and comfortable form factor &#8211; perfect for wearing all day long.</p>
<p>“Our Tune headphones have always been loved for their versatility. Whether you’re deep into a marathon music session, or fuelling your study with focus music, it’s easy to toss these flat folding headphones into your bag and take that famous JBL sound on the go,” says Michael Sherman, Senior Strategy Manager at JBL New Zealand.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59390" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/JBL-Tune-720BT_-Specsheet_EN-pdf.jpg?x67281" alt="JBL Tune 720BT" width="1191" height="888" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/JBL-Tune-720BT_-Specsheet_EN-pdf.jpg 1191w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/JBL-Tune-720BT_-Specsheet_EN-pdf-300x224.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/JBL-Tune-720BT_-Specsheet_EN-pdf-768x573.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1191px) 100vw, 1191px" /></p>
<p>Sherman says that the headphones will appeal to students in particular, thanks to their attractive price point and impressive battery life. Pointing to a recent study that found that music can improve achievement in mathematics, Sherman says reaping the benefits of listening to music while studying is just one thing Kiwis will love about the new range.</p>
<p>The new JBL Tune on-ear line up consists of four models, starting with the top of the range &#8211; the JBL Tune 770NC.</p>
<p>These Adaptive Noise Cancelling wireless headphones deliver on the promise of great sound all day. With up to 70 hours of battery life, you’ll easily get through a busy week of using them and still have enough JBL Pure Bass Sound to get you through the weekend. If you do need a quick recharge, five minutes gets you an extra three hours of music.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59388" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/01.JBL_Tune-520BT_Product-Image_Hero_Black-1.jpg?x67281" alt="JBL_Tune 520BT" width="1280" height="1280" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/01.JBL_Tune-520BT_Product-Image_Hero_Black-1.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/01.JBL_Tune-520BT_Product-Image_Hero_Black-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/01.JBL_Tune-520BT_Product-Image_Hero_Black-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/01.JBL_Tune-520BT_Product-Image_Hero_Black-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/01.JBL_Tune-520BT_Product-Image_Hero_Black-1-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>Lightweight and flat folding, the JBL Tune 770NC can also connect with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously, so you’ll never miss a call while watching a movie on your tablet. With the free JBL Headphones app, you can tailor the sound to suit your taste.</p>
<p>Easy to use and set up, the Tune 770NC uses voice prompts in your language to guide you through the features. You can even manage your calls and your voice assistant hassle-free right from your phone and use VoiceAware to hear yourself when you’re speaking.</p>
<p>The new JBL Tune headphones are available now from JBL.co.nz and retailers.</p>

<p>Skullcandy snip the cables and go wireless with their latest and greatest, not too mention funky <em>PLYR</em> gaming headset.</p>
<p>The full sized headphones come with a killer sound EQ and spatial enhancements built-in.</p>
<p>Sure, it will depend on the audio source as to what output you receive, but if you have games that effectively use &#8216;3D spatial&#8217;, like on PlayStation 5, you&#8217;ll feel that HQ virtual audio-scape booming of explosions, whizzing of bullets and hear that sneaky enemy trying to flank you.</p>
<p>In the box you&#8217;ll get a USB charge cable and an old school 3.5mm cable.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59200" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/271162636.jpg?x67281" alt="Skullcandy PLYR" width="1280" height="1280" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/271162636.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/271162636-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/271162636-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/271162636-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/271162636-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>The battery will see you right for up to 24 hours non stop gaming, however the best bit here is that Skullcandy&#8217;s <em>PLYR</em> have been built to work with any console or device.</p>
<p>Pair up via bluetooth to your PC, Mac, PS4 or PS5, Switch and mobile. You can also dual pair. Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S need to be wired though.</p>
<p>If the game&#8217;s getting good and you&#8217;re low on juice, plug in the USB cable, or that&#8217;s where the 3.5mm comes in handy (but you won&#8217;t likely get the same quality audio).</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not a chatty gamer, Skullcandy have made the boom mic removable from the <em>PLYR</em> or you can simply mute with a red LED light indicating that you&#8217;ve gone silent.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59199" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/61iAL6KLJ6L.jpg?x67281" alt="Skullcandy PLYR" width="1280" height="1280" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/61iAL6KLJ6L.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/61iAL6KLJ6L-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/61iAL6KLJ6L-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/61iAL6KLJ6L-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/61iAL6KLJ6L-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>This said, the PLYR has a secondary mic on the headset itself, so if you simply want to use the <em>PLYR</em> to rock out with on the go on your mobile, you&#8217;ll be able to use handsfree.</p>
<p>I tried this and it was okay. The on-board mic worked well, but when a bit windy or in a stupidly noisy environment like the CBD noise pollution did filter in.</p>
<p>The <em>PLYR</em> itself is super light, and has memory foam ear cups that prevent sweat and dust and can be a comfy wear for extended periods. There&#8217;s also audio controls on the headset.</p>
<p>Battery life on the unit that I reviewed was on the mark. While I did not game for 24 hours straight, I did use as my primary headset for a couple of weeks.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59201" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/PLYR_Multiplatform_Black-Digi-Hype_S6PPY-P003_Side_v003_2048x.jpg?x67281" alt="Skullcandy PLYR" width="1280" height="1202" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/PLYR_Multiplatform_Black-Digi-Hype_S6PPY-P003_Side_v003_2048x.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/PLYR_Multiplatform_Black-Digi-Hype_S6PPY-P003_Side_v003_2048x-300x282.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/PLYR_Multiplatform_Black-Digi-Hype_S6PPY-P003_Side_v003_2048x-768x721.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>I managed to squeeze 8 days of roughly 4 hours gaming per day from a full charge. That&#8217;s slightly over the factory listed length of battery life.</p>
<p>Artistically designed to be worn for any use, the Skullcandy <em>PLYR</em> is an all round headset. From gaming marathons on your preferred platform through to pumping out your playlist or podcast streams at around one third of the cost of an equivalent competitor&#8217;s headset.</p>
<p>This is the headset that&#8217;s not going to cost you a small fortune, has all the goods and has been designed for you, the <em>PLYR</em>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p>Logitech G has announced the ultimate esports headset &#8211; the new Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset.</p>
<p>Designed and tested with top esports athletes, the new PRO X 2 headset features all new, revolutionary PRO-G GRAPHENE audio drivers, making it the pinnacle of gaming audio and a must-have headset for the most discerning and competitive players.</p>
<p>“The core philosophy of the Logitech G PRO Series is about creating gear that meets the demanding needs of professional esports athletes and competitive gamers,” says Chris Pate, Principal Product Manager, Logitech G PRO Series. “With PRO X 2, we&#8217;ve achieved a groundbreaking level of performance by redesigning our PRO-G drivers with Graphene audio technology. With our use of graphene, we can create a driver that is both incredibly rigid and, at the same time, almost impossibly lightweight. This delivers high fidelity sound with extremely low distortion, giving pros the performance, they need to play to their maximum potential.”</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59101" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/uDVdAaJk.jpg?x67281" alt="Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset" width="1280" height="674" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/uDVdAaJk.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/uDVdAaJk-300x158.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/uDVdAaJk-768x404.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>In esports, clarity of sound and communications are critical factors that influence winning. Being able to hear the slightest audio cue and communicate with teammates makes all the difference.</p>
<p>The new PRO-G GRAPHENE Audio Driver has been precision engineered with a 50 mm graphene diaphragm featuring a live edge suspension, to deliver immersive soundscapes like never before. The new driver delivers improvements in sound reproduction accuracy, time to signal accuracy and distortion reduction, allowing players to identify audio objects more clearly, and more quickly discern their location as objects move relative to the player.</p>
<p>In addition to an all-new PRO-G GRAPHENE audio driver, PRO X 2 features major enhancements over the current PRO X Wireless Gaming Headset, including improved LIGHTSPEED wireless, Bluetooth, and wired connections (3.5mm Aux). LIGHTSPEED now delivers PRO-grade wireless with up to 50 hours of use on a single charge and a consistently robust wireless connection range of up to 30m.</p>
<p>The PRO X 2 also comes with precision surround sound helps you know exactly where your opponents are before they find you, with deeply immersive soundscape experiences.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: line-through;"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59102" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/C06vDTgs.jpg?x67281" alt="Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset" width="1280" height="871" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/C06vDTgs.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/C06vDTgs-300x204.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/C06vDTgs-768x523.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></span></strong></p>
<p>Logitech G PRO Series line is developed under a unique Design by Collaboration program, which brings together many of the world’s top esports athletes and teams to develop new high-performance esports gear that pushes the boundaries of innovation and performance to give them the competitive edge.</p>
<p>“I have always felt Logitech G values my feedback and opinion for product development, that’s why their gear is the highest performing and most popular among top esports athletes. During the development of the G PRO X 2 Gaming headset, I enjoyed the improved comfort and excellent mic. In-game, I found the new Graphene driver a game changer, it really made me feel I got a new advantage to win against my competition,” said Oleksandr &#8220;s1mple&#8221; Kostyljev, Counter-Strike, Natus Vincere.</p>
<p>From the beginning of the design process, Logitech G engages with Esports Pros to obtain feedback, make key decisions, and test to refine the features and design of the products. By implementing their feedback into new tools and solutions, Logitech G has become the defacto standard and leader in professional quality esports gaming gear.</p>
<p>The PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset is available from 13th of June 2023.</p>

<p><em>Astro&#8217;s A30</em> series is back from a galaxy far, far away with a very <em>Special Edition Mandalorian</em> model.</p>
<p>Produced by Logitech within their G Series, the <em>Astro A30</em> Wireless was first announced back in October last year (2022).</p>
<p>Now having embraced the Force the truly wireless full head sized gaming headset gives you two ways to connect, direct bluetooth or via the 2.4GHz USB dongle.</p>
<p>The <em>Astro A30 Mandalorian Special Edition</em> allows you to mix your wireless connection too. If you&#8217;re wanting to pump up the jam on Spotify while gaming, you can. The mixed connectivity uses Logitech own LIGHTSPEED technology and can have a couple of connections going simultaneously to the likes of connecting up to your PC via the supplied dongle and pairing up to your mobile via bluetooth.</p>

<p>The model I reviewed is for Xbox or PC, however you can connect to mobile (Android or iOS) but I recommend downloading the app to get the most out of the <em>Astro A30</em>.</p>
<p>if you want to wire yourself in there is a 3.5mm port.</p>
<p>Audio is top shelf driven by 40mm drivers. Deep rumbles, atmospheric environmental sounds and high pitched whizzes of bullets as the pass near you.</p>
<p>The boom mic is removable, so if you want to simply rock out, or game without chatter you can. There&#8217;s tactile buttons on the right ear cup and a USB-C charging port.</p>
<p>Battery life is is close to top range, coming in at around 27 hours. I&#8217;ve exceeded this already, with around 4 to 5 hours of gameplay in just over a week, daily, on a single full charge and the headset is still going strong.</p>

<p>This headset is essentially an Astro A30, with customisable ear cup plates, or tags, that clip in to either side of the headphone. What I suspect is that we may see different tags being released in future so you can tailor your <em>Astro A30</em> to something more you.</p>
<p>The <em>Astro A30 Mandalorian</em> Special Edition of course has Mando tags and a rather elite looking carry case too.</p>
<p>With a sound output that would please the Rebels and voice clarity for any galactic adventure, the <em>Astro A30</em> <em>Mandalorian Special Edition</em> is a must for any serious gamer and Star Wars fan.</p>
<p>This is the way to game.</p>
