Gamdias Hephaestus Headset Review

While the packaging is attractive, the build quality seems good and the feature set rich, we feel that it is going to take a serious push from Gamdias over the next 12-24 months if they truly want to establish themselves as a brand.

Why?

Well there are headsets like the Medusa NX from Speedlink that offers a similar specification set – alongside pure volume that's enough to clear the wax from your ears with no olive oil/cotton buds – and all for £50.

Which is £20 less than the Gamdias Hephaestus at £70.

It's not an exact like-for-like, because the Gamdias spatial technology is one level above that offered by cheaper headsets, so it's going to be a personal value judgement.

Pros

  • Attractive design, makes you look like a Captain Scarlett Angel Interceptor
  • Integrated heatsinks are an interesting approach to keeping ears cool
  • Audio is clear and the vibration system works, more or less

Cons

  • Volume does not go loud enough
  • Weird software installation experience
  • Too much competition at this price point for it to be a clear winner

KitGuru Worth Buying
KitGuru says: Lots of competition in this space, but with some innovative features and good overall build quality, it's certainly Worth Buying if you like the styling – which you can see for yourself at Multiplay i51 at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry from 18th to 21st April.

  1. Spot on with this write-up, I honestly feel this website needs far more attention. I’ll
    probably be returning to see more, thanks for the info!

  2. I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and
    entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.
    The problem is an issue that too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
    Now i’m very happy that I stumbled across this during my hunt for something
    regarding this.

  3. Might not have scored as high as some, but I love these headphones for the BIG METAL BLOCKS in each ear 🙂

  4. I love it whenever people come together and share opinions.
    Great site, continue the good work!

  5. Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against
    hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losig everything I’ve worked hard on.
    Any tips?
