Your gaming experience is about to reach a new high

Excellent gaming audio can make or break the gaming experience. As humans, we experience the world with all of our senses -- and if you truly want to immerse yourself in a game, that means not only making sure that your games look good, but that they sound realistic too. Improving on the audio quality of your games can seriously turn up the entertainment factor.

Most improvements to gaming technology come in the form of visual improvements. For example, graphics card manufacturers are consistently spending millions on improving their products, while display makers are building higher resolution displays that offer increased brightness, higher dynamic range, and so on. But gaming audio can actually take your experience to a whole new level, making it way more immersive than you ever thought possible. After all, why spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on high-end graphics equipment, only to destroy the experience with a cheap-sounding headset? Our ears are highly complex and can detect the exact direction that a sound might be coming from. EPOS is able to tap into the expertise and knowledge of the human ear through the Demant conglomerate, EPOS’ parent company, a world-renowned hearing aid brand. And, EPOS is actually born out of a partnership with Sennheiser — a partnership that resulted in some of Sennheiser’s most well-respected gaming headsets.

In other words, you know EPOS headsets are going to sound amazing.

If you haven’t thought of improving gaming audio, you really don’t know what you’re missing. EPOS’ 7.1 surround sound algorithm brings true 360-degree soundscapes to gaming audio — essentially meaning that it will sound like you’re truly in the game. Talk about a 4D experience!

Audio technology is likely to play a major role in gaming experiences in the future. Game developers are always working on ways to make their games more immersive, whether it be through photo-realistic graphics or even virtual reality. EPOS could very well be the last piece of the puzzle.

EPOS products offer high-end build audio and material qualities developed to elevate the gaming experience: ear cups that are shaped to the ear without anything actually touching the ear, reducing comfort-related distractions, and to deliver a more realistic sound experience. In fact, EPOS has a design philosophy that involves zero compromises to comfort. EPOS’ algorithm can easily compete with other advanced algorithms, like Dolby Digital and DTS, but unlike the competitors, EPOS is built specifically for gaming. You’ll get more boosted audio behind you, along with less reverberation to make for a more natural sound, and a finely adjusted frequency response to be able to easily handle all kinds of situations, zombie grunts and explosions alike. 

EPOS is set to transform the future of gaming audio in ways that are hard to imagine. Still not so sure just how out-of-this-world EPOS could get? Check out the teaser trailer below.
