INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

 

    There seems to be no ending to gaming headsets that promise 5.1/7.1 surround sound either virtual or real but as you know we have seen more than once that only a very small number of them really do deliver on that promise. Thermaltake is a name that has been with PC enthusiasts and gamers right from the start but it wasn't until they introduced TteSports a while back that they really thought about manufacturing their own virtual surround headset and so after just a few months the Shock One Gaming Headset was introduced into the market.

 

 

    “Challenge is the game” highlights the philosophy to bring out gamers’ addiction in gaming and the ambition of reaching to the extreme. Tt eSPORTS, a gaming obsessed division from Thermaltake, is uniting gamers from all over the world in a unique & fascinating eSPORTS culture, inherited the spirits of Thermaltake, is an energetic, powerful, bold and intelligent challenger who never says “no” to the extreme competition. We do not only provide gamers the ultimate gaming gears but also fulfills the passion to achieve the ultimate success. Thermaltake has been a well-known brand in the gaming & DIY market for PC Chassis, Coolers and Power Supplies PSU for many years. The brand personality of unique, aggressive, vivid and stylish makes Thermaltake an expert in creating exciting things and fascinating environment for gamers and enthusiasts. Tt eSPORTS inherited the brand personality with unique and creative design by observing users’ behaviors and requirements. The fan cooling design on Tt eSPORTS Challenger keyboard demonstrate the brand spirit. It is the worldwide first keyboard with fan cooling function that could dry your hand sweats and blow tension away during cut-throat competition.

 

 

    One of the things that make the Shock One stand out from the rest of the headsets out there is it's red and black color combo which is also a good enough reason for some people to look elsewhere for an more "mature" looking surround headset. Certainly the amount of red used should not pose an issue for most gamers and enthusiasts out there and it wouldn't matter to me either since even the award winning Psyko surround headset comes in red (others even come in green). The DTS certification of the Shock One is also something we don't get to see a lot with similar products and as you will also see later on it does make a difference when watching DTS compatible material.
