Skullcandy is bringing a seismic shift to the gaming audio scene with the launch of the Crusher PLYR 720—the first gaming headset to feature Skullcandy's patented Crusher multi-sensory bass technology and an open-back design for an unmatched immersive experience. The Crusher PLYR 720 fuses Skullcandy's fan-favorite multi-sensory bass, THX Spatial Audio, and open-back acoustics to deliver an entirely new way to experience your favorite games. Explosions rumble through your chest, engines growl with depth, you can hear a creeping enemy with pinpoint accuracy, and every impact shakes you.

The open-back acoustics and advanced positional tuning mean the audio creates a realistic, expansive soundstage. The signature dual Crusher drivers, acting as sensation drivers, provide the best immersive acoustics for gamers. The result gives gamers a heightened level of hearing and sensation that allows them to feel what is happening in the game before they see or hear it. Unlike haptic headphones on the market, Crusher PLYR 720's bass drivers fire directly into your head and ears—not just around them—delivering a more natural, visceral sound you can truly feel. It's less like controller rumble and more like adding an adjustable subwoofer to your gameplay.

A series of April leaks have suggested that Apple's mixed reality headset engineering team is concocting two distinct next-gen solutions. Mid-month, leakers shared alleged early shots of "Vision Air"-related connectors and external parts—hinting at a potential dark blue colorway. Combined with a selection of fairly legitimate-sounding predictions from a notorious industry watcher, so-called Vision Pro sequels are on the way. Apple's Chinese manufacturing partners are reportedly deep into mass production of crucial "Vision Pro 2" components. Mark Gurman's "Power On" newsletter has provided plenty of inside knowledge stories over the past couple of months—his latest article included a section dedicated to fresh VR/AR insights: "I reported earlier this month that Apple is full steam ahead on two new successors to the Vision Pro (2023): a lighter version at a cheaper price point, and a Mac-tethered model aimed at applications that need maximum responsiveness."

He continued: "all signs point to the lighter model arriving between the end of this year and the first half of 2026. Despite the first version selling poorly, the company isn't abandoning ship here. The main uncertainty is whether the lighter version will be considered a replacement for the Vision Pro or a cheaper alternative." In theory, Apple could test "more mainstream" gaming waters with an initial rollout of the claimed cheaper + lightweight "Vision Air" model—perhaps set to do battle with readily available rival devices; e.g. Meta's dominant Quest 3 range. A full-blown Vision Pro follow-up could launch later on in 2026—likely reserved for upper-crust customers, with an increased focus on productivity applications.

Leading gaming accessories maker Turtle Beach Corporation today revealed 16 new gaming headsets and controllers, further expanding the brand's already broad lineup of top-rated, best-selling products for gamers playing on Nintendo Switch systems, Xbox consoles, and Windows PCs.

"All of our new gaming accessories unveiled today represent a clear dedication from Turtle Beach to exceed expectations and deliver products with competitive features, affordable high-quality builds, and amazing aesthetics."

Apple is reportedly working on two different new-gen Vision mixed reality headset models. As covered on TechPowerUp's news section earlier on in the week, one rumored "more budget-friendly" option could be a lightweight product. Yesterday, Kosutami (@Kosutami_Ito) posited that Apple engineers have realized a thinner design. According to inside information, weight reduction has been achieved through the fitting of select titanium parts—Kosutami highlighted the lighter Vision package's connectors and battery as potential candidates. Industry watchdogs reckon that the rest of this rumored design will rely on (largely) aluminium and plastic pieces. The tipster also teased a "graphite dark blue" colorway; harkening back to iPhone 5's Slate Black aesthetic. A theorized "Vision Air" label has emerged from Kosutami's recent social media post.

Historically, Apple's Air notebook models have consistently launched as lighter/cheaper alternatives to MacBook Pro offerings. Mac specialist and general PC hardware news sites have picked up on additional Kosutami bulletins, going back to late last week. Photos of a speculated "Vision Air" power cable were shared online, last weekend. An initial upload showcased an anodized aluminium "Lightning-style" connector "finished in Apple's distinctive Midnight Blue/Black" colorway. MacRumors inspected a newer set of images, and explained: "the (original) Vision Pro uses a similar connector, except with twelve pins instead of eight, suggesting that the new cable is part of a more significant redesign, at least of the external battery. The audio strap connector appears to be the same design as that of the Vision Pro."

Corsair, a leading global developer and manufacturer of high-performance gear and technology for gamers, content creators, and PC enthusiasts, is proud to launch the VOID WIRELESS v2 Gaming Headset, the latest high-performance headset in the award-winning VOID line. The Corsair VOID family of gaming headsets has become synonymous with quality gaming audio, lasting comfort, and superb build quality, and the new VOID Wireless v2 continues this with a range of features and updates.

The VOID WIRELESS v2 pulls gamers into a truly immersive experience thanks to custom-tuned 50 mm neodymium audio drivers that create high-fidelity, dynamic soundscapes with incredible clarity and depth. Combined with Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio, players can pinpoint every footstep, explosion, and movement with incredible directional accuracy, adding depth and realism to their game.

Stylish design, technically to the point, and always good to wear: The SKILLER SGH25 gaming headset features high-quality 50 mm drivers and easy control of the volume and microphone using the cable-integrated inline controller. And for optimal comfort, the fabric ear pads and an adjustable headband will always ensure a pleasant fit.

Whether for gaming or listening to music, the 50 mm drivers of the SKILLER SGH25 have been specially made for a clear and powerful audio. The SKILLER SGH25 is equipped with fabric ear pads for long-lasting comfort, no matter how heated the situation gets. The practical inline controller integrated into the cable of the SKILLER SGH25 allows easy volume and microphone control, even during the heat of the action.

Since its summer 2023 launch, Apple's pricey Vision Pro mixed reality headset has not exactly attracted a mainstream audience. Roughly a year later, rumors of a (then) recently canceled successor appeared online—insiders posited that company engineers had pivoted onto the development of a cheaper alternative model. Vision Pro "Version 1.0" arrived with an intimidating $3499 price tag; thus eliminating interest from a wide swath of potential AR/VR headset enthusiast customers. Industry insiders reckon that Apple had "abruptly reduced production" of the current-gen model last October, with further whispers suggesting a complete cessation of manufacturing activities by the end of 2024. Yesterday, an ITHome article cited compelling claims made by supply chain insiders—the initiation of mass production for a speculated second generation "Apple XR/Vision Pro" device.

The online report stated that: "multiple independent sources (have) confirmed that the panels, shells and other key components of the second-generation Apple XR headset are already in production." Very specific leaked information indicates Lens Technology being the exclusive supplier of glass panel pieces, and Changying Precision tasked with the making of the next-gen model's casing. Additionally, several contract circuit manufacturers are supposedly "rushing to complete orders." Secretive figures posit that Apple will release its sequel mixed reality headset later on in 2025. Differing "expert opinions" have not determined whether this incoming set of fancy goggles will be the predicted "cheaper" model, or a proper "M5 SoC-powered" successor.

Designed to help frustrated parents and older Gen Z siblings decode the often-perplexing lexicons of internet culture from Gen Alpha, the Razer Skibidi is coded with 1,337 unique Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms, tapping on the full capabilities of our patented AI to decipher the impossible - all in real time, at the touch of a button.

A Valve-designed next-gen VR headset is a compelling prospect, but not many details have emerged online since the company's (2022) teasing of new developments. Press outlets noticed a September 2023 registration of a mysterious device in South Korea; following this discovery, many anticipated a steady flow of leaks. Relative silence ensued; brewing speculation that Valve Corporation had shelved another top secret project. Fast-forward to the present day; Gabe Follower—a self-confessed Valve/Half Life 3 tipster—believes that all systems are go for a codenamed "Deckard" VR headset. The amusingly-named leaker (referencing Gabe Newell) claims to have an inside track: "several people have confirmed that Valve is aiming to release new standalone, wireless VR headset (codename Deckard) by the end of 2025. The current price for the full bundle is set to be $1200. Including some "in-house" games (or demos) that are already done. Valve want to give the user the best possible experience without cutting any costs."

The "Index" was Valve's first attempt at cornering the VR gaming market, but the buying public (back in 2019) largely favored rival models. A long-gestating follow-up would need to really "hit it out of the park," when placed against a new generation of competing hardware. Valve's alleged Blade Runner-themed device, was linked to a set of previously leaked VR controllers; codenamed "Roy." Additionally, Gabe Follower reckons that Valve is prepared to make financial sacrifices, in order to establish a foothold within an extremely competitive market: "even at the current price, it will be sold at a loss. A few months ago, we saw leaked models of controllers—Roy—in the SteamVR update. It will be using the same SteamOS from Steam Deck, but adapted for virtual reality. One of the core features is the ability to play flat-screen games that are already playable on Steam Deck, but in VR on a big screen without a PC. The first behind closed doors presentations could start soon."

Besides the new Endorfy Onyx White gaming mouse and Crystal mousepads that TechPowerUp introduced here, Endorfy's first appearance at CES 2025 in Las Vegas featured more than just two products. The company announced and showcased several new items, including the Supremo FM6 power supply series and the Arx 700 White ARGB PC chassis. To complement their offerings, Endorfy also displayed their full lineup of CPU coolers, featuring the newest Fortis 5 Black/ARGB and Fera 5 Black ARGB models. The Navis AIO liquid cooling systems and several other peripherals completed Endorfy's showcase.

The Supremo FM6 power supply series continues the legacy of the Supremo FM5 line, now featuring compliance with the ATX 3.1 standard.

The chassis is expected to be available in Q2 2025 with a price point of approximately 130 Euros. To show the capabilities of their Arx 700 case series, Endorfy had a custom system built by ModMyMods, a bit sad that they didn't use the white chassis.
