GAMDIAS is a Taiwan based company that specializes in gaming keyboards, mice, and headsets. They’ve branched out recently to include mouse pads and gaming accessories as well. Their products offer a vast array of features that are not commonly found together in this price bracket.

The GAMDIAS Hephaestus GHS2000 Multi-Sensorial Gaming Headset is a feature packed headset promising big sound in a big package. The Hephaestus sports virtual 7.1 surround, built-in cooling, and a unique feature called the blast source identifier. The headset also sports leather ear pads and headband, allowing for a very comfortable gaming experience during long sessions.

The GHS2000’s main attraction, the blast source identifier, is what sets it apart from the rest. GAMDIAS claims that the headset sends out shock waves which can vary by ear depending on what side of your player the blast came from, helping you pinpoint which direction the enemy combatant is located. This will be the main part of our testing, as well as sound quality, microphone quality, and overall durability of the headset.
