The company with objectively the funniest name in gaming hardware, Thrustmaster, is back with a new headset aimed squarely at F1 nerds. The Thrustmaster T Racing Scuderia Ferrari Edition, due for release on November 29, is a gaming headset designed to look like the ones used by Ferrari F1 engineers on the pit wall to chat to their drivers. Never mind the fact that the actual Ferrari F1 headsets look like they just repainted something they found in a derelict WWII bomber, just drink in that authenticity. Wear these enough and you"ll find yourself dropping choice Italian phrases into conversation. Phrases like va bene", grazie mille" and Fernando is faster than you". To be fair, the Thrustmaster version is tarted up a bit, with a fancy embossed Scuderia Ferrari shield on the side and, perhaps more importantly, memory foam ear cushions so that they stay comfortable during hours-long gaming sessions. Or indeed lengthy hands-free conversations on your mobile phone, if you want to be that guy" on the bus the connector for both headphones and microphone is the standard 3.5mm one. Sound reproduction is impressive for a stereo gaming headset too, if that"s something that concerns you, and free from the ear-assaulting bass boost that other gaming cans are often lumbered with.
