When fighting for your life on virtual battlefields, distracting background noise is the last thing you need. Asus’ ROG Vulcan ANC Pro Gaming Headset features active noise cancelling technology to prevent just that. Its 85 per cent active noise cancellation filters out sounds such as low-frequency computer fans, as well as 30 dB passive noise cancellation to reduce a wide range of ambient sounds, including background voices.

Enlarged 40 mm headphone drivers deliver a wide soundstage, with deep bass and brilliant mids and highs. Its stylish blade-shaped detachable boom microphone has built-in noise filtering technology so teammates can hear clear conversations during games instead of ambient noise. Soft memory foam encased in breathable leather ensures a comfy fit during extended play sessions. It also features a foldable design and comes with a durable travel case. Price: about R1 000.
