> If you took one look at the Panasonic SoundSlayer SC-GN01 and thought it was a futuristic inflatable travel pillow, you’d be completely forgiven. But instead of providing convenience and comfort on long-haul flights in the year 2057, Panasonic’s device is actually a wearable surround sound gaming speaker. So the confusion is totally understandable.

Unlike standard headsets, the SoundSlayer keeps your ears free, with the idea being you can play audio for longer without getting uncomfortable ears. There are three sound modes – optimised for RPGs, first-person shooters, or adventure games – that tailor the sound. And to combat all that sound blasting out, the microphones are noise cancelling.
