AfterShokz Launches Safe and Comfortable Gamez Headset at $99.95

Safety is a strong concern for a lot of gaming-oriented companies. Just yesterday, AfterShokz, the bone conduction headphone brand that is known for focusing on situational awareness, safety and comfort, has announced the release of the wireless bone conduction headset titled Gamez.

Gamez is mainly designed for--wait for it--gamers who happen to play on the PC, Mac and mobile. What gives these headphones an edge are the lightweight and open ear design and the Premium Pitch+ audio that actually provide powerful wireless audio and sound. And frankly, too many cords are a pain in the behind, so for those interested in a wireless headset, this should pique your curiosities.

According to Bruce Borenstein, CEO of AfterShokz, on the headset:

"We've worked hard to develop the finest bone conduction audio and are thrilled to incorporate this technology into a headset for gamers who want to be immersed in their game and be aware of their surroundings."

"Gamez also gives individuals with a hearing impairment the ability to immerse themselves in the full audio experience intended for all gamers."

According to Shokz, Gamez is arguably the most comfortable gaming headphones on the market, as it utilizes bone conduction technology and open ear design. The bone conduction transducers actually fit snugly in front of the ears, transmitting sound through the cheekbones to the inner ears via mini vibrations, which actually bypasses the eardrums completely. In other words, you don't actually hear the headphones over or in your ears, which gives gamers maximum ambient sound awareness; in other words, amazing.

Talk about a victory for science!

Check out the following features below:

PremiumPitch+ Stereo Sound: Gamez aims to turn around the bad stigma of bone conduction audio by using PremiumPtich+ technology to enhance sound and ensures that sound is going where it needs to be.

OpenFit: More or less, this blends situational awareness with extended comfort thanks to the open ear design, so you don't have to ignore everyone around you... unless you want to.

Sweat Resistant: IP55 rated to prevent sweat, moisture and dust (Editor's Note: YAY!).

Six Hours of Gaming and Calls: One charge equals that amount of time for gaming or talk time. A full charge only takes an hour and a half, but a quick 15 minute one can last you a good while through a talk or gaming session.

Noise Canceling Mics: Placed to exclude surrounding noise, these mics feature dual noise canceling, which would lead to better sound and communication over VoIP like Teamspeak or Ventrilo.

Voice Prompts: If you need a guide, you can rely on Audrey Says to help you through power, pair, play, talk, and more.
