Genius makes several different USB headsets aimed at gamers and Gearlog got their hands on the latest HS-03U USB headset with vibration. I have used vibration headsets form other manufacturers before and they offer the ability to feel explosions, which I really enjoy in games.Gearlog says the ear cups are fairly comfortable and the volume control buttons are tactile and work well. The vibration function in the end was just that, vibration. To hear the bass to go along with the shaking the headset does you have to crank the volume up considerably more than what’s probably good for your hearing. The good news is the headphones are fairly cheap at $40. If you just want to feel the bass without hearing it so much, these headphones might be just what you need. If your tastes lean more towards good sound that feeling the bass, shop Tritton.
