SPC Gear starts shipping Viro headset series

SPC Gear, the gaming label of the European manufacturer SilentiumPC, debuts its VIRO and VIRO Plus USB 7.1 over-ear wired gaming headphones with dynamic transducers and a clip-on microphone. With the new VIRO series, SPC Gear delivers two amazing products that put accuracy of sound, comfort and communication in the foreground! Thanks to its outstanding balance, sound quality, all-black design and versatility, VIRO series is appealing not just for gaming sessions with friends, but is the perfect companion on the road. After the huge success of the SM900 microphone kit for Streamers and Youtubers, SPC Gear is able to deliver the next big leap in improving the quality of sound equipment for the mass-market by introducing the VIRO and VIRO Plus USB 7.1 over-ear wired gaming headphones.

True Sound for competitive Gamers
One of the key aspects of excellent headphones is the precise representation of details and feeling for directions in games, which allows focusing on specifics such as the steps of virtual opponents. The creation of a wide soundstage is yet another important task, which has been accomplished by the acoustic tuning of the VIRO headphones. A high-quality clip-on microphone is a must for demanding gamers and streamers, which focuses on speech and tunes out background noise. This means that the battlefield companions get a clearer and uninterrupted feel of the players presence, and when combined with the noise-cancelling VIRO design (closed headphones), an even deeper shared experience of virtual gameplay and online rivalry is established.

Over-Ear Design with dynamic transducers
SPC Gear VIRO and VIRO Plus are headphones with a closed and over-ear design, which limits played-back sound escaping and eliminates unwanted background noise. The high sound quality is achieved by implementing the dynamic 53 mm transducers in the deep earmuffs, filled with memory foam, that shapes itself to the user's head and ears. The sufficiently large space in which the transducers move, makes the sound clear and detailed, and offers a wide soundstage. This tuned setup allows the SPC Gear VIRO to give a better sense of precision and direction of the sound sources. In result, even sound details feel more rich and capture the details of musical instruments and their location on the arena. The sound as a whole is balanced and precise, with an unexaggerated but clearly perceptible accurate bass as well as a wide and realistic soundstage.

Detachable high-end microphone
As an essential element of gaming headphones, the microphone was designed based on the experience acquired during the creation and tuning of the SPC Gear SM900 and SM950 professional microphones for streamers. In terms of sound recording, VIRO and VIRO Plus focus on catching speech and masking unnecessary ambient noise. This is particularly important not only during virtual battles with friends, but also when streaming – as the audience and the team obviously wants to hear one clearly, with unwanted background noise to be eliminated. An appropriate high-quality microphone is the key to success in team games such as Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Valorant, Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege or the Call of Duty series. A good microphone will also be useful during everyday online communication, which is why the SPC Gear VIRO headphones are so versatile.

Users who want to leave the world of virtual gaming, can easily unhook the microphone and go outside with a smartphone to enjoy music or their favourite podcast during an evening walk surrounded by nature. Switching between the gaming world and reality is easy with SPC Gear VIRO!

Durable and comfortable Design
The coherent and minimalistic design is dominated by various black features, and is an element that makes the SPC Gear VIRO headphones stand out from the rest. It makes them stylish and versatile, both for gaming and other uses. To ensure maximum durability, the headband is reinforced with metal from the inside. To guarantee complete comfort, it's covered with foam on the inside, and then trimmed with soft leather that's pleasant to the touch. The same covering was used to trim the memory foam earmuffs (aluminium on the outside) – their shape and size fit the entire ear inside, which significantly improves comfort. The earmuffs and adjustable headband fit in such a way as to ensure optimal pressure of the headphones on the head and ears.

VIRO and VIRO Plus with a USB 7.1 sound card
Two SPC Gear headphones options are a versatile and flexible solution not just for players. The VIRO headphones are equipped with a popular 3.5 mm minijack connector (compatible with smartphones). The kit includes two cables: 120 cm with a remote control for volume control and muting of the microphone, as well as a 150 cm extension cord with signal splitting + microphone (and a minijack) for PC connection, which will give a total of 2,7 meters of freedom. The headset can also be connected to consoles.

Whereas the SPC Gear VIRO Plus headphones are equipped with a USB 7.1 sound card, which gets connected to the USB port of the computer. It is connected using one of two cables: 120 or 270 cm, both with a remote control for adjusting volume and muting the microphone. In addition, the kit includes an adapter that allows he connection of the VIRO Plus headphones directly to the audio connectors of the PC’s soundcard – separate input and output. The USB 7.1 sound card software allows for even more precise configuration of the sound in specific frequency ranges and saving settings, depending on individual preferences and situations. It will differ between gaming and listening to music modes, and can even be adapted to various music genres. There are four profiles that can be configured at the user's discretion; the first two are pre-set (for FPS games and for music), and the other two are completely neutral.

The “Everyday Headphones” come with a Launch Gift
The SPC Gear VIRO headphones will hold their own not only as an advanced accessory for gamers or during video conferences with colleagues, but also for evening walks surrounded by music.

"We've equipped the headphones with a good-quality detachable microphone that you can quickly mute using the sliding adjuster on the cable, and very comfortable memory foam earmuffs. For owners of poorer-quality integrated sound systems, we have the VIRO Plus version with a separate USB 7.1 card. All this is included in one product – headphones that are great for gaming on a computer, console or smartphone, as well as for listening to music at home and in the city. Thanks to this, the SPC Gear VIRO headphones offer a multitude of uses and are extremely versatile," explained Rafa? Zaniewski, Business Development Manager at SPC Gear.

The SPC Gear VIRO headphones debuts with a package that includes a drawstring bag for devices, ready to protect the equipment from rain. This comes in handy not only for people using VIRO headphones outdoors but will also satisfy the demands of professional gamers who often travel with their equipment.
