PC Headsets Experience a Soniq Rush and an Unexpected Resurrection

New gaming accessory offers PC headsets second lives as amplified Xbox 360 gaming headsets

XJacKer.com, creator of several XJacKer Kits, announces the full availability of their Soniq Rush Gaming Headset Amp Kit for console and PC gamers. Designed for Xbox 360 gamers on a tight budget, the Soniq Rush Gaming Headset Amp Kit enables any standard PC headset (with 3.5mm plugs) to function as a premium amplified Xbox 360 gaming headset. Available in both standard (RCA) and HDMI-compatible versions, the Soniq Rush Gaming Headset Amp Kit is capable of amplifying gamers' own custom mix of game sounds and Xbox LIVE chat.

The Soniq Rush Gaming Headset Amp itself is a small, USB-powered stereo audio amplifier capable of 26dBs (20X) of amplification to drive even high-impedance headsets. Featuring full dynamic range (20Hz~50kHz), excellent bass response, low distortion (0.2% THD), and 0.4W RMS per channel, the Soniq Rush Gaming Headset Amp amplifies game sounds, voice chat, and in-game music with clarity and fidelity. "I tested this tender little nugget on every set of headphones I could find, on as many sources as possible, and it delivered" confirms Pappy-R of Voodoo Extreme.

"I spent a lot of time with the Soniq Rush over the last week and a half, and tried it with a variety of games (Halo: Reach, Black Ops, Madden, and Hunted). With each one, I experienced a significant audio boost versus the headset by itself. The Soniq Rush succeeded in amplifying the sounds of everything around me, whether it was footsteps, bullets whizzing by, or the sound an axe makes when it cuts something in half (kind of a loud sqwich sound)" writes Jason Iatomasi for The Adrenaline Vault.

Featuring standard 3.5mm jacks and plugs, the Soniq Rush Gaming Headset Amp is also compatible with PCs, laptops, PS3s, and Wiis. Christophor Rick of Gamers Daily News called it "just about perfect for what it is, and low-cost to boot! Take one set of standard headphones, this little do-hickey and you end up with a complete solution for sound on all of your consoles."

XJacKer's Soniq Rush Gaming Headset Amp Kit is now available for purchase on Amazon at a promotional price of $19.99. More details are available at http://www.soniqrush.com/presskit.php
