Victrix aims military-grade noise canceling headset at pro gamers

Helicopter pilots need good headsets. Gaming hardware startup Victrix took a look at that technology, and it came up with military-grade noise canceling headsets for professional esports players. So now the esports stars at Team Kaliber are using advanced gaming headsets designed by Victrix with superb noise cancellation.

The Victrix Pro AF ANC is available for preorder for $300, and on Thursday Victrix will offer a $100 discount on the headset during the preorder period, effectively knocking the price down to $200 for early adopters. The system has active noise canceling (ANC), which eliminates about 70 percent of exterior sound, or about 45 decibels, which is similar to aviation headsets. It has four dedicated microphones that actively listen for noise and eliminate it from the surrounding environment. The headset is expected to ship on June 9.
