Gamers are used to owning a ton of headphones. One for the phone. One for their consoles and one for the PC or Mac.
Those days are over.
The FxM 200 from Monster eliminate that need entirely as they are easily the most balanced headset peripheral on the market today.
While the microphone isn’t up to par with say some of Turtle Beach’s higher end models, Monster hits you hard where it counts, the sound. When you talk about audio fidelity and polish, the FxM 200 are the best sounding headphones on the gaming market. You will hear everything clearer than you ever have before, from the smallest footsteps of your enemies, to roaring guitar solos.
But unlike many other gaming headphones, you can and will take these wherever you want. Weighing in at eight ounces, they are light and feature comfortable leather cups and a durable cord that won’t rip or get frayed from a ton of use. So while it may not be ideal for podcasting, it’s comfortable, light and perfect for everyday use in a variety of situations. As a result, its price is more than justified.
For first person shooters and other squad based games where sound is vital, this headset is a device that can easily put you in a situation to succeed. For games the likes of Rocksmith and other music-based games, it’ll take your experience to another level.
Again, although the microphone isn’t as crisp as many other high-end headphones, the sound is the easily better than any other gaming headset available. From the amazing bass and balance to its light weight, the FxM 200 are the only gaming headphones that you can take anywhere with you and not suffer any sacrifice in sound.
