Singapore Electronics Asia Pacific introduces the ultimate gaming companions – the DR-GA500 and DR-GA200 PC headsets – designed to provide realistic, high impact surround sound quality for gamers without compromising on comfort and design. The DR-GA500 features Sony’s exclusive 7.1 channel Virtualphone Technology (VPT) and both new headsets feature large 40mm driver units, with a unique, ergonomic design for maximum comfort.

“The latest DR-GA500 and DR-GA200 PC headsets are designed to elevate the audio intensity in games and create a highly immersive environment for gamers, while ensuring comfort for long periods of wear.” says Mr. Sydney Lee, Assistant General Manager, Personal Audio Division, Sony Electronics Asia Pacific.

Featuring Sony’s exclusive 7.1 channel Virtualphone Technology, the DR-GA500 achieves precise, three dimensional surround sound with multi-channel speakers. This is especially ideal for first person shooter (FPS) gamers who need to be aware of virtual surroundings in various game scenarios. The DR-GA500 is also equipped with Effect Mode settings, which includes FPS and Surround modes that optimise audio settings while gaming or enjoying music. The Compression feature also allows users to enhance the tiniest details, such as approaching footsteps when switched on, or reduce the sound of intense explosions when switched off.

Both the DR-GA500 and DR-GA200 headsets feature a large 40mm driver unit which smoothes playback of bass and treble tones for improved and precise gaming audio. The high quality, compact boom microphone on both PC headsets also allow for easy communication with team mates during multi-player games.

As comfort is a key consideration for gamers who often wear headsets for long hours of play, the DR-GA500 and DR-GA200 feature a unique, triple enfolding design which helps reduce any pressure on the ears as well as increase air ventilation for maximum comfort.  Both headsets feature a solid construction combined with a compact, modern design. Lightweight yet durable, they are perfect for users seeking a gaming headset that does not compromise on style or quality.

The new DR-GA500 and DR-GA200 will be available in selected Asia Pacific countries from September 2010.
