With the Aorus H1, the company Gigabyte wants to guarantee classic gamers, above all, a great audio pleasure while playing games. Not only the high quality surround sound but also the high comfort of the headset should ensure the appropriate quality. The H1 headset is without doubt based on the already successful Aorus H5.
Saturated technology for great sound
When it comes to sound, Gigabyte doesn’t seem to do any experiments. As it was already the case with the popular Aorus H5, the manufacturer relies on the already known beryllium driver with a diameter of 50 mm for the upcoming H1. This driver is supposed to provide a rich sound. The virtual 7.1 surround sound, on the other hand, is intended to ensure reliable enemy detection. The frequency range of the H1 gaming headset also sounds pleasing. Here, everything from 20 Hz to 24 KHz should be covered. Although this is not revolutionary, it is completely sufficient for the masses. After all, with a gaming headset you should not be able to listen to music, but enjoy games.
Reliable microphone
There is a small downer to be accepted with the microphone. Unlike many of our competitors, it is not removable. If that doesn’t bother you, you’ll be pleased with the microphone quality, which according to Gigabyte is of a high standard. A total of four unidirectional microphones, each with a diameter of 2 mm, should be the basis for clear and rich voice transmission. According to Gigabyte, these cover a frequency range from 100 Hz to 10 KHz. In order to be protected from disturbing ambient noise, the manufacturer also relies on so-called ENC technology. The abbreviation stands for Environmental Noise Cancellation. According to the name, ambient and background noises are to be reliably filtered out. If this project works out, it should actually be able to provide clear and unambiguous communication.
Weight is still unknown
Gigabyte itself has stated that the H1 headset was clearly designed for comfort. This can be understood. After all, the most important thing about a gaming headset is that you can wear it for several hours without any problems. But how much the pair of headphones should ultimately weigh, we don’t know yet. The weight of a headset plays a major role here.
However, we already know that Gigabyte wants to have a high degree of flexibility in the design of the earcaps and headband. Accordingly, the H1 headset should be customizable to fit your own head. The corresponding parts should not only score points in terms of flexibility. Breathable fabrics should prevent unpleasant sweating.
No Bluetooth on board
Gigabyte does not give the H1 headset a built-in Bluetooth. So you can’t avoid a classic connection via USB 2.0. This decision is quite courageous. After all, the H1 headset cannot be connected to another mobile device. But here Gigabyte underlines its promise to bring a headset for classic gamers to the market. Anyone with a PC, Xbox or Playstation should be able to enjoy the purist headset.
Easy to use
The Aorus H1 is very easy to use, so you won’t be distracted too much while playing. A control element in the form of an inline audio control adapter is used. This unit on the cable can be used to adjust parameters like mute mode, ENC and volume. Not only audio settings are possible here. The element can also be used to make individual settings for RGB lighting effects. If you are still not satisfied with the possibilities, you can visit the website of the manufacturer. There an audio software is to appear, which is to provide for individual adjustment possibilities.
Price and availability
When the Aorus H1 will conquer our store shelves is not yet known. But a release before Christmas seems rather unlikely, considering the end of the year is approaching. The manufacturer has also not yet given any information about the price. But we will keep you up to date.
