If you've ever been looking for a mouse, keyboard or mouse pad online, you've probably heard of Sharkoon. Because their products are often very popular because of the comparatively low prices. The Skiller SGM3 is the latest offshoot of the SGM series and can currently be purchased online for just under 40 euros. It is a wireless gaming [...]
A USB sound solution with a decent DAC, microphone input and extra headphone amplifier for less than 30 euros? Dreaming on, I thought until I found exactly that here: the Sharkoon Gaming DAC Pro S. Now, of course, Sharkoon hasn't reinvented the audio navel of the world, but has fished an OEM on land that has a remarkable combination of DAC and [...]
You can start from scratch and work your way free, or you can rely on long-standing expertise, which you buy purposefully. EVGA has done the latter for good reason and, together with Audio Note, has launched the EVGA NU Audio as a plug-in sound card that does not want to crack, but wants to knock. You can see that very quickly in the price [...]
Headphones are a tricky subject when it comes to quality, sound, fit and taste. Hardly any other piece of hardware is as critically questioned as headphones. After all, a number of factors play a part when it comes to finding your favorite headphones.
Unfortunately, we have to point out that we had to withdraw the award for the headset in the meantime, because quality problems occurred in the long-term test, which are not acceptable in this price range. We apologise to our readers, but we are unable to fully uncover such shortcomings in the short time available for such tests.
I honestly admit it, because I didn't want to test the Quad Driver from 1More (model E1010) out of misunderstood objectivity. Because I have had a rather divided relationship with In-Ears for years, which could not really rip me off the stool either ton or ergonomically. Even though we as a family have so many privately owned in-ears [...]
The rubber coating of the palm rest looks like piano lacquer, between the keys there is the bread notration for several days and on some caps are dents, as deep as Lake Constance. Just cuddled up. After more than 10 years in the daily gaming use of a counter-strike fanatic, this may look like this. And the rest?
As you know by now, I also do on YouTube. But more and more technology in the same space? I work with OBS and this is where AMD comes in with its APU and ASRock with the matching mini PC in the form of the DeskMini A300. Assembling and finished? Almost, because you can still optimize your own...
So there are still the really bright moments when testing gaming headsets, where sound and attention to detail mean even more than RGB lighting and the battle for the most affable design, including virtual surround tape. Honest, precise and, unfortunately, also a little more expensive than the average. This is exactly where Sennheiser wanted to [...]
The Sharkoon B1 is now already open for less than 40 euros. And if you follow Sharkoon's philosophy that can't break, which isn't even in the first place and that all of this is packed (also visually) acceptable, then you can be curious. It should be clear now that you can't expect an acoustic or technical flyer for this price, but [...]
As a man, you forgive a beautiful woman for a lot of things, but does that also apply to technology? I am actually more of a fact-based person who can also live with an open wire if the performance is right. And then there's a part like that, which looks really good. But can the Sennheiser GSX 1000 score just as well in terms of acoustic [...]
For currently just under 100 Euro (Saturn on offer from approx. 86 Euro) Roccat offers with the Khan Aimo the new edition or reinterpretation of the Khan Pro and wants to score with RGB and an active USB sound card. But this is exactly a point where it is worth taking a closer look and listening, as well as completely disassing the story. In order [...]
Anyone who still remembers my article about the connections between graphics card, headphone sensitivity and motherboard layout will of course also wonder how I measure all this and what technology is behind it. Since we have no secrets and the response was also very large, Frank Schmidt ("Bigreval" in the forum) and I thought about how [...]
From the pilot headset straight to the gaming hell? Beyerdynamic does not make it easy with the mmX 300 in the second generation, but in return it delivers a very solid piece of technology that is definitely worth its price. Fit, seat and sound are of course subjective, but the prerequisites ex works could hardly be better. That is why I have [...]
Microsoft's Xbox Elite Wireless Controller is a luxury appetizer that costs a whopping 149 euros and is said to be the best controller in the world, according to the manufacturer. But what added value besides optics does one really get in daily use and how durable is the part actually? These are exactly the questions I want to investigate [...]
What would the world be without the Universal Serial Bus? In any case, i do not think that the ones we know now, that is for sure. But what could you do if you want to test a TV stick because it keeps crashing? Does it draw too much power or is it due to the software? How much "juice" does my phone still have or is the battery really [...]
With an RRP of 249 USD and a street price of approx. The 1More Triple Driver plays 160 Euros in the league of the beautiful and the sound rich, at least in terms of price. Today's test has to prove whether this will be the same with the acoustic equivalent...
The fact that I prefer to play with my good stereo headphones has now certainly been talked about. That I used a good stand microphone for communication so far, perhaps less. Unfortunately, nomen est omen applies, because it stands on the desktop and thus automatically also usually grandiosely in the way. With the Yeticaster, a bundle from the [...]
Sennheiser also makes in gaming headsets. Well, this realization is not so new, but after all the tests of the last few months, this specimen was a very welcome change. After all, we are not in the double-digit range, where most of the usual suspects are found, but very clearly above them. With approx. Sennheiser can also pay the GSP 550 quite [...]
