With the HECATE brand and the GX05, Edifier is once again trying its hand at gaming accessories and without wanting to spoil too much: It succeeds with an acceptable result, otherwise I hadn’t written anything either and sent the parts back. Sometimes you have to take time out of your private life to play around with gadgets that you come across by chance from time to time. If you haven’t heard of HECATE yet: It’s a gaming brand developed by Edifier, originally launched in 2013 as part of Edifier’s gaming product line and became a standalone brand in 2018. But: I found some very interesting details during the material analysis as well as during the measurements in the audio lab at the measuring head, so please don’t skip to the last page right away, but please read everything.
The GX05 gaming in-ear headphones from Edifier’s HECATE brand are supplied in a black plastic box with a paper sleeve. On the front of the sleeve, in addition to a product image and the model name, there are also references to the two wireless technologies and the Hi-Res Audio certification. And I’ll have to say a few words about that on the next page.
The earbuds presented today also use the “Flash Speed” ultra-low latency technology, which is supposed to offer a low latency of 15 ms with a 2.4 GHz connection and which we know from other manufacturers under a different name. All of the brand’s products, including the GX series, are made from robust materials and are ergonomically designed to offer durability and comfort for long gaming sessions. They also (unfortunately) feature RGB lighting effects, but oh well. Today I’m also testing the sound and not the luminance.
Scope of delivery
What HECATE includes is perfectly fine. You get the GX05 headphones, a wireless Type-C dongle, a charging case, 3 sets of ear tips in different sizes (S, M, L), a USB-C charging cable, a storage bag, a USB-A to USB-C adapter, two dust caps, a short manual and a few (superfluous) stickers.
A word about the replaceable silicone pads: If you need a replacement, you can also order one from Edifier via the distributor. This as additional information for those who are scatterbrained and hygienic.
