Gaming career transformed by my new set of Atlas Three headphones

(flip it up to mute, brilliant). Memory foam ear cushions mean you don’t feel like your lugholes have been clamped in a vice after long sessions.

This particular headset’s crowning achievement, though, is the Mic Monitoring, which enables you to hear and adjust the volume of your voice inside the headset to avoid shouting.

There are also three audio presets including Vocal Boost.

As a keen Black Ops 4 Blackout gamer, sound and clarity is everything if you want to consistently reach the latter stages. Before, I would struggle to make the top 15 with any regularity, so often being crept up on and not being able to hear until it was too late.

In two weeks, since using Atlas Three, I am averaging sixth-placed finishes and won my first-ever Blackout.

This peripheral cynic has been well and truly put back in his box, and I’m an infinitely better player for it. The build quality perhaps doesn’t match premium over-ear music headphones, but in terms of gaming performance there is no comparison.
