If you have never experienced Bass boosting vibrations
while gaming you really are missing out on a new level of, not only
experience and fun but also improved
game
play and
situational awareness. The AudioFX2 headset gives you all this and
much more as they are so comfortable to wear while your intensely
gaming or just sitting back enjoying music or movies. The rumbling
didn’t hinder or become uncomfortable even at high levels against my
head at all. The rumble vibrations bring a different dimension to
the sensations that you feel through your game playing, being that a
first
person
shooter or
a point and click game, the
headset brings
back your enjoyment for your old favorites because you can feel
what’s going on around you. And what’s best of all about this
headset is that you get a great sounding, bass boosting headset for
a reasonable price, what more could you ask for.

The AudioFX2 represents incredible value, that’s for
sure. [It] is definitely an energetic sounding headset and good
enough to satisfy hardcore gamers and casual music playback. The
AudioFX2 gives fantastic depth and warmth to bass notes, without
being overpowering, and is particularly detailed in the upper
midrange. Furthermore, it offers extensive versatility to support a
wide variety of audio and gaming devices in a single package. It has
also been a long time since we have used a more comfortable gaming
headset. Hard to beat for the price.

It's been so refreshing to have been able to test the
AudioFX2, a headset that appears to simply concern itself with
working well...It's no surprise either; eDimensional is making a
name for itself by producing good gaming products at decent
prices and this headset is no departure. Good clarity comes from
these oval ear-cups. Both ear-muffs and adjustable headband are
cushioned for hours of gameplay without the threat of discomfort,
chafing or slippage and the build quality is to be commended...This
set is one both gamers and audiophiles can be fans of.

Tom's Games - December 2008 |

Driver setup was a breeze, and everything worked as it should even without the
recommended reboot. The AudioFX uses oval earcups, so while the headset is
indeed snug, there was nary a sore ear during gameplay. The aesthetics were
another big standout. eDimensional teamed up with renowned modder Ben Heckendorn...making
the headset stand out without sacrificing overall quality.
The AudioFX Pro also offers exceptional force feedback. When activated, the
AudioFX Pros feedback keeps the bass at its previous level, and offers the kind
of rumble we would expect from a console controller, which leads to some great
feedback without sound distortion. When it came to the
audio
quality
test, the AudioFX Pro was the first headset that made the
small differences between FLAC and MP3 formats noticeable, even if only
slightly.

GamePro Magazine - July 2007 |

"Console modder extraordinaire Ben Heckendorn put on his extra
large thinking cap when he designed the Audio FX Pro 5+1 headset, a product that
is as comfortable as it is functional. The headset has everything you could
possibly want, including a noise canceling microphone which is perfect for
communicating with your WoW clan mates or for calling your mother via Skype to
ask for an advance on your allowance."

"Ben Heck, the nomme de jeux of respected modder Benjamin
J. Heckendorn, is the designer and driving force behind this attractive and
capable USB-attached gaming
headset from eDimensional. Though most headphones and headsets tend to be
pretty dull and boring in appearance, this "Benheck" branded product is anything
but. The design includes full-sized earcups that fit completely over the ears,
designed for comfort and cushioning, and to block out ambient noise in your
environment." "For $80 you get good looks, great audio
handling characteristics, a good, noise-canceling
microphone, and a mechanical rumble effect to really boost low frequency
sounds. What self-respecting gamer or audiophile could ask for more?"

The AudioFX Force Feedback Gaming Headset has to be
one of the greatest devices that I own. The sound quality that is delivered
is simply amazing. It has a very nice fit which allows for hours of gaming
without any sort of discomfort.Racing in the
eDimensional Cup Series demands a lot of you and your hardware. We do have
some of the longest races that you'll find in any league out there. But the
AudioFX headset, which I use for all my races now is up for the challenge -
easily!

For hardcore gamers, eDimensional's AudioFX Pro
5+1 is a must have. It combines the positional sound capabilities of a
surround sound system with the precision and noise-isolating power of a
headset; the microphone is just an added bonus.
Comfort is also an advantage for this headset thanks to its soft
leather-like ear cups. All in all, the headset's build seems sturdy.

"It is so much easier to tell what direction a
sound is coming from.
The design is extremely slick, functional, and
robust...they look extremely professional.
The sound quality is excellent all round.
I've given the Audio FX 5.1
Ben Heck headphones well over 8 weeks of testing before writing this
review. I wanted to make sure I'd tried them out in all sorts of games,
movies, sound levels etc. I've never felt anything other than extremely
satisfied with them."

"The AudioFX Pro 5+1, designed by console modder
extraordinaire Ben Heckendorn, packs about as much as one would imagine to be
possible into such a small package. This set is by far the best I have ever wrok
for gaming or my favorite MP3 tracks. This AudioFX headset delivers quality at a
fraction of the cost of more expensive headsets - and leaves them wanting in the
process.

As we were
involved in the design process and tested the prototype we potentially knew
what to expect and prior to this held high expectations. As some might be aware
our organization heavily (not solely) focuses on first person shooting games,
known as FPS. As an example Call of Duty 2 and Counter-Strike:Source are our
"flagship games." These are very action oriented and contain a huge amount of
different sounds in game at all times. In either of these environments, the
AudioFX assists our players hugely. Whilst moving around in Call of Duty 2 it
enables you to hear distant sounds, pin point gun fire and your opponent. Where
it's really noticeable is upon entering a quiet area in key situations. There's
no activity, then you are able to hear movement on the floorboard above you, or
the rustle of the bushes opposite -thus causing the headset to vibrate and
utilize the 5.1 speakers. It's a definite added advantage on your opponent
and in addition also greatly adds to the overall experience a player gets from
the game and environment. The sound quality in the AudioFX far exceeded those
headsets we have tried of used in the past and is certainly on par with the
best headsets on the market today. The sound effects were very vivid and
voice chat through Ventrillo was clear and precise. The mic had an impressive
gain and speech was clearly received by others. The initial set-up of the
headsets was simple and instructions well printed and easy to follow. We would
highly recommend the AudioFX to those looking for a high standard of gaming
headset with a reasonable price tag to enhance their gaming experience,
eDimensional's AudioFX headset were used by all of our players at the LAN event
we recently attended and proved its durability, quality and overall experience
was exceptional.

"The Audio FX allows you to turn on an amazing force feedback system that synchronizes the vibration effects with the sound. It's awesome when you crank up the rock-and-roll. OK, I'll admit to being a Baby Boomer rocker. When I cranked up George Thoroughgood's "Bad To The Bone" with this headset it gave a whole new meaning to the term "head rush." According to Our Man in Blackpool, it also thrilled International Flight Conventioneers when they cranked up the sounds for their favorite aircraft. Mike said, "I could tell by the beatific and wide-eyed looks on their faces that the headbanger effect was a big hit."

You take the good, you take bad, you take them
both, and there you have subpar gaming audio. We’re tired of making countless
concessions with the family or roommates when we’re optimizing our gaming audio.
We love turning everything up to 11, practically dropping us smack dab in
Soldier Field or Super Mario Land. But naturally that upsets everyone, because
who wants to listen to the Super Mario theme song at 200db? eDimensional, one of
the top worldwide distributors of cutting edge gaming and virtual reality
accessories, appears to have our back with their latest AudioFX Force Feedback
Gaming Headset. Now everyone’s happy, with the possibly exception of anyone
we’re playing against online.
For less than $50, the AudioFX Force Feedback
offers an innate ability to generate a full environment of peripheral sounds,
generating situational awareness as well as crisp, direct sound. That can be an
invaluable tool in any game, particularly if some flunkie/zombie/unicorn/linebacker
is ready to jump you from behind; you’ll hear him coming thanks to the AudioFX.
The headset also features a bass amplifier that will take any inaudible noises
in the 20-25hz range and convert them into vibrations, ensuring that no gamer
misses a single audio clue. An on-wire controller allows you to adjust your
headset settings on the fly, potentially giving your ears some sort of audio
equivalent of carpal tunnel. If that is the case, just adjust, or turn off
entirely, the vibration function on the on-wire controller. The volume switch is
there, too.
If you’re taking your gaming experience online,
eDimensional’s headset features a noise-canceling microphone, allowing you to
talk some serious trash online. For those few moments when you’re not gaming,
you can use it with voice recognition or chat software. Even if you’re just
watching DVDs or listening to music on your PC, the AudioFX Force Feedback is a
solid basic audio headset that will bring Tony Soprano or Axl Rose right into
your room, both of which actually sound absolutely terrifying.

Playing in
cs_office was an entirely new experience for me with this headset. As a
terrorist sitting at the end of the long hall, you can actually hear when a CT
breaks through a pane of already cracked glass in the office area. It still
sounds faint thanks to a good use of directional sound, but it is still very
clear to detect on this headset. In contrast, I don't believe I ever heard the
glass pieces falling when using my 5.1 surround sound system when in the same
position on the map.
Priced at a mere $50, there really isn't another
headset that I would rather use. The AudioFX is a breeze to setup, features
audio quality that is comperable to extremely expensive alternatives, a mic that
is nearly as clear as a USB mic, and vibration that provides your ears with
their own subwoofer effects. 9/10!

"Everything about this headset is great. The

similar experience of playing a game or movie without the hassle of waking up
your neighbors. So it is a win-win situation for you! Even the price is highly
agreeable to everyone’s wallet!"

"First person shooters are mostly action oriented and contain a good number
of gunshots, laser blasts, etc. In this environment, the AudioFX is great. While
driving the car in Half Life 2, the engine noise created a great force feedback
experience. Where it's really noticeable is upon entering a quiet area. There's
no activity, then a gunman suddenly jumps out and fires, causing the headset to
vibrate. It's a definite attention-getter and adds to the experience
tremendously. The sound quality in the AudioFX is on par with the
best headsets out there. The sound effects were vivid and voice was clear when
chatting on Teamspeak. The mic had an impressive gain and speech was clearly
received by others through TS. For those looking for a reasonably
priced headset to enhance their gaming experience, eDimensional's gaming headset
is a winner."

"Never
have I been so impressed with the sound quality of a headset in its price range.
Nor have I often worn headphones of its style that were as comfortable or
immobile, an almost mutually exclusive pair of words in the world of headphones.
The microphone is also top-notch. Add your basic functionality to the inherent
cool factor of anything that moves your body while something on your screen is
exploding, and a good looking and comfortable shell (we were always partial to
black and silver in these parts), and you get a great piece of gear like the
AudioFX headset."

The AudioFX is an incredible headset to say the least. But this isn’t your
grandpa’s headset. The AudioFX is also a force feedback system. Low frequency
sounds in FS are translated into a tactile feeling through the headset. Don’t
believe me? Get out that old radial powered fighter, the Corsair would be a
great choice, and fire up that engine. You will be able to feel and hear the
rumble at the same time.
This headset is also incredibly well suited for online voice communications. Got
an ATC event to go to? This is the headset you want to be wearing. It is very
comfortable and the high quality microphone and speakers make this the clearest
headset I have ever used.

"I've owned many headphones, microphones and headsets during the years I've
wasted playing silly computer games, but this headset really impressed me. With
the clear audio, thundering bass response, excellent transmission quality and
comfort, the $50 asking price struck me as an excellent value. I have found
headphones that cost nearly twice as much lacking in one or more of the above
categories."

"They do actually improve the gaming experience by letting you actually
"feel" the sound. In addition, the intensity of the vibrations also vary
according to the sound. This actually improves audio localization by
strengthening the audio cues with vibratory cues. This feature also works great
in movies."
"If you are looking for a gaming headset, you should definitely consider the
eDimensional AudioFX Force Feedback Gaming Headset. It will not only deliver
crisp audio reproduction and recording, it will also boost the degree of realism
in your games and movies. All in a light, comfortable headset that's easy to
install and use."

"The Force Feedback headset is like having a full 5.1 surround system in a
pair of headphones. This headset features something no other headset has ever
featured - built in sub woofer on your head. Now you can enjoy cinematic sound
without annoying everyone else in your household. It’s also great for late night
gaming when everyone else is trying to sleep but you’ve got a Doom 3 craving.
The headset has padded earphones that are very comfortable to wear and a nice
head support that is also padded. It looks very professional and has a high
build quality. The earpiece can move from side to side and up and down so you
are able to get the perfect fit. On the side are 3 lights. Green, Amber, and
Red. This is a helpful gauge to monitor the loudness and it also adds a cool
effect at nighttime.
Even if you already have a headset you should consider upgrading to this
one."

"These headphones get great sound. Yes, now you can
enjoy Force Feedback, the shaking that occurs during intense moments of the
game, with eDimensional’s new headphones. A controller attached to these large,
padded headphones allows you to adjust the volume and amount of shaking, or even
turn the vibrations off. Lights on the side of the headphones show off how
intense the quaking is, in case you want to make others in the room jealous."
