Press Release / for immediate release / 27th January 2022
Austrian Audio brings its acclaimed audio quality to the gaming market with the PG16 Pro Gaming Headset. The PB17 Professional Business Headset meets the growing needs of today's workforce, providing high-quality audio when at the desk. The PB17 and the PG16 headsets share the same technology as the award-winning Austrian Audio Hi-X65, Hi-X55 and Hi-X50 pro-audio headphones for exceptional high-definition sound. Their 44mm Hi-X drivers accurately reproduce the full audible sonic frequency spectrum from 12 Hz to 24 kHz with zero latency.
With the PG16, gamers hear games as the designers intended; expect crystal clear, high-resolution professional sound and perfect spatiality to locate even the quietest details. Business professionals will value the sonic detail, exceptional speech intelligibility, and fatigue-free listening of the PB17s closed-back headphones.
Austrian Audio equips the PB17 and PG16 with a pro-grade boom microphone, which transmits your voice to your team without cut-outs, choppiness, or muffling. Simply use the 'Lift to Mute' mechanism if you don't want to be heard. PG16 users can also use the included Spatial Sound Card software from New Audio Technology for a dynamic 7.1 surround sound and enhanced gaming experience.
The PB17 is a great all-rounder: a professional office and business tool equally suited to general media, music and relaxation. The closed design of the PB17 prevents sounds from entering or escaping; you can make calls undisturbed by your surroundings and concentrate fully on your conversation. Additionally, the PB17 is equipped with a high-quality boom microphone so that your counterparts hear you just as clearly as you hear them. The mic can be muted by simply flipping it up. The PB17 can be quickly folded up and safely stowed away in the supplied carrying case for easy transport.
The PG16 meets the highest gaming demands with high-resolution sound and a foldable design: the robust metal construction of the headband and hinges ensure maximum stability and extremely long durability. Soft ear pads made of special "slow retention" memory foam and low weight of just 265g ensure optimal wearing comfort, even during long gaming sessions. The closed design with outstanding insulation effectively eliminates ambient noise so you can concentrate fully on the game.
Both headsets connect with the included 1.4 m cable and 3.5 mm jack plug. The PB17 includes a 3.5mm (1/8") TRRS to USB-A adapter. The PG16 includes a 3.5mm (1/8") TRRS to 2x 3.5mm (1/8") TRS adapter.
Designed and developed in Austria, the PG16 and the PB17 offer outstanding sonics at an unbeatable price-performance ratio.
