PuroGamer Gaming Headset – Safer, Volume Limiting Wired Headphones for Kids and Adults with Dynamic Sound and Noise-Canceling Gaming Mic for PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox 1, iPad, Mobile Phone by Puro Sound Labs
We’ve already tested and loved PuroPro headphones before (read more on that here), so naturally we suggest picking up a set of these gaming headphones by the company as a great accompaniment to any gamer’s setup. They provide crystal-clear sound to really immerse the player in the world of the game, but advanced hearing protecting ensures young or sensitive ears won’t be damaged by cranking up the volume. There’s also an 82% ambient noise isolation that helps block out outside sounds, meaning there’s less temptation to blast games at max levels and thus avoid the jarring effects that can accompany unexpected explosions.
