Alienware Pro Headset now available in Malaysia for RM989; collaborates with Team Liquid

Alienware has recently unveiled its latest Alienware Pro Headset, a new esports-caliber headset that follows through on the success of their recently debuted Alienware Pro Mouse and Keyboard.

This headset had to meet the demands of competitive gaming, so the team collaborated with over 100 elite esports athletes and streamers, including those from the legendary Team Liquid. Over the course of 18 months, Alienware combined their insights with its engineers’ expertise to create the most advanced gaming headset.

The key highlight features of the Alienware Pro Headset are:

50mm Graphene Coated Drivers for superior directional audio.
Hybrid ANC delivers the best possible active noise cancelling (ANC) experience.
Two-mic Noise Cancellation to ensure the mic only picks up user’s voice.
Soft memory-foam leatherette earcups enhance comfort, reduce pressure, isolate sound, and improve sound quality for focused gaming.

This headset provides essential cues to gamers; for example, the footsteps of a character approaching from a precise direction, the chiming of a spell or ability hidden nearby, and of course, the voice of fellow squad members are all delivered with precision and clarity. In gaming, audio quality is the #1 headset feature that matters above all else. Competitive gamers need clear audio input from the microphone and output from the earcups to eliminate distractions and provide the most precise directional audio, for themselves and their teammates.

The new gaming headset has enhance immersion and spatial awareness, and allowing player’s ability to read the game, anticipate their opponent’s next move and maximise their potential.

The start of making the Alienware Pro Headset is to provide gold standard of gaming audio with the 50mm graphene coated drivers. This advanced technology provides the best, out-of-box directional audio solution. The Pro Headset’s atom-thick graphene coating is the ideal material as it’s both strong and lightweight. The weight makes it incredibly responsive which creates a natural, accurate, and clear sound with lots of depth. The Pro Wireless Headset is also less prone to distortion, especially at higher frequencies, when compared to other gaming headsets that are made with titanium, plastic, or other materials. Overall, it provide gamers with clearer 360-degree directional and vertical audio. This is particularly advantageous in games like first-person shooters (FPS) in which gamers must know the direction and height of the sounds around them. High quality drivers are why pros in FPS can immediately flick to an enemy without even needing to see them first. (ProSetttings.com has additional info on how graphene drivers work)

There are also other key technologies found in the Alienware Pro Wireless Headset:

Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) blocks out external noises (background conversation, clacky keyboards, fans, TVs, pets and more) to eliminate distractions so you can maintain focus.
High-Res Certification via USB-C provides clearer and more detailed audio to hear subtle queues while also enabling a richer experience when listening to music.
Pro-Tuned Sound: We gathered feedback from Team Liquid’s renowned VALORANT, DOTA 2, LoL, WoW, and other teams to ensure that the out-of-box audio is tuned for competitive gaming.

Despite not every individual wants active noise cancellation (ANC), Alienware made sure that the passive noise cancellation (PNC) was also effective. As the headset is Bluetooth enabled, users can used it for outdoor. Together with Transparency Mode, users can hear sound through the earcups but also be aware of their surroundings at the gym, when commuting, or doing household chores.

Superior Mic | Command and Conquer

For Pro gamers, a high-quality microphone is required for clear communications and removing background noise. Anything outside of the player’s voice and in-game sound is a distraction that can impact the outcome of a game.

Alienware Pro Headset is equipped with two-mic, noise cancelling, microphone system that can detect and eliminate background sounds while enhancing voice clarity for clearer communications. Thanks to a machine learning model that has been trained and tested in various environments and at different speaking volumes and pitches, the microphone is able to distinguish between verbal and non-verbal audio and enhances the player’s voice regardless of environment – sitting near a barking dog at home or surrounded by 50,000 cheering fans on the world stage.

Superior Design | Above the Clouds

As for the design, Alienware opted for a minimal design that prioritises comfortability, versatility, and keeps your head resting in a virtual cloud.

The Pro Headset uses soft memory-foam leatherette earcups, which form a snug seal around the ear to improve sound isolation and block outside noises (which benefits the passive noise cancelling capability). This soft memory-foam material, paired with a deep earcup design, creates a well-balanced feeling that lets the headset conform to a wide range of head and ear sizes. Alienware has placed careful detail on making sure the earcups were done right so anyone can relax through extended sessions without discomfort.

Also, this gaming headset is modeled around a more minimal style that makes it street ready. When the user is ready to leave the house, simply detach the mic and connect the headset to Bluetooth. For those who enjoy mobile gaming, the headset also features a low latency mode for Bluetooth that reduces lag to 80ms – almost imperceptible to humans, especially when used on a small screen like smartphones.

For connectivity, players can select from three modes – USB-C, Bluetooth 5.3, or 2.4GHz connections for PC, mobile and console gaming. The battery life can last up to 70 hours (over 2.4GHz connection with ANC off), up to 35 hours (over 2.4GHz connection with default ANC on), or up to 75 hours (over Bluetooth connection with ANC off at default volume).

Physical buttons and dials located on the side of the headset allow the player to control volume, mute mic, connect via Bluetooth and turn ANC on/off.

Additional features and customisation are supported by Alienware Command Center 6.4, a centralised hub that allows quick access to settings such as game-specific profiles and themes, AlienFX lighting, macros, and more to give control over all of your gear.

Customise the following Alienware Pro Headset preferences and sound experience through AWCC v6.4.x and Dolby Atmos integration:

EQ: adjust the equalizer in the Dolby app for an optimal audio experience.
Microphone Noise Cancellation Control: switch between Default mode for wider pitch and volume of input, or Enhanced mode to filter out more background sound Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) Customisation.

Alienware is also promoting the Alienware Dual-Mode Headset to a Tri-Mode Headset with the addition of Bluetooth to support mobile gaming, phone audio and other Bluetooth enabled devices. The updated Alienware Tri-Mode Wireless Headset is designed for gamers looking for an immersive audio experience in a wireless headset they can wear with total comfort and easily adjust throughout long hours of gaming.
