All athletes require the best gear to be at the top of their game, the same thing applies to e-sport players. E-Sports is growing daily, as is the competition. As players become better and better, having the slightest edge over your opponent can be the difference between winning and losing.
The HAMMER headset was created, and designed, by e-Sport players for e-Sport players making it a �must have� for people who demand the best.
Everyone looks for the perfect headset with great Comfort; clear Audio and most importantly - Durability. ZOWIE GEAR has been working on solving these issues and have designed the HAMMER headset.
Prior to production , over 6 months of research had gone into HAMMER�s development. Once it was finished, ZOWIE enlisted 30 �world-class� e-Sports players to test the headset, including your favourites - HeatoN and SpawN!
While testing the HAMMER headset, SpawN commented on its unique design and clever idea of providing the headset with two sets of Ear Cups, one leather for Multimedia purposes and one cloth for the gamers.
he HAMMER headset meets all my demands as a professional e-Sports player. Since using the HAMMER headset I know that the HAMMER is both strong and durable. It gives me great, superb sound quality and after many hours of intense play, the HAMMER provides unmatched comfort and comes with not one but TWO sets of earpiece cushions � one leather set, which is great for listening to music, and one cloth set for my hardcore gaming needs.. ZOWIE GEAR made all the necessary adjustments that every gamer wants�and needs!� � Abdisamad �SpawN� Mohamed
We then added the USB Version so that more people could use the headset on the go and still receive the highest sound quality possible.
The other hard thing to tackle was finding the right style of ear cushions for the headset, as many of you know after using a headset for hours playing games at a LAN event or home they often start to hurt your ears, ZOWIE GEAR made this a huge priority making comfy and large ear cushions to stop this problem and still keeping the high quality it offers.
Headsets often suffer from wear and tear, especially if you travel with them, so we decided we would focus on making the headset very strong and durable, not allowing for any easy breakage or damage. Unlike most headsets with a plastic microphones we made ours of aluminium, therefore eliminating the chances of the microphone snapping off. This was the main problem we were told when asking the professional e-sport gamers what they wanted in a headset. Fixing these issues makes this headset LONG LASTING� RELIABLE� and DURABLE.
After Emil �HeatoN� Christensen tested the HAMMER he was amazed. ��Since I�ve been using the HAMMER headset I�ve been able to enjoy and experience extremely high quality sound. This allows me to hear my opponents much easier and clearer, giving me higher in-game awareness, which is a huge advantage. With great cushioned ear pads, the HAMMER�s comfort is unmatched, which is always something headset normally lack. ZOWIE GEAR also managed to make it very durable which you can tell as soon as you touch it, which is perfect for us LAN gamers. You�ll love this headset!�
Feature:
* Superb Sound for Professional e-Sports
* Clear and precise audio for better awareness and opponent detection
* Specially designed headband that prevents bending damage
* Reinforced microphone boom for long, durable life
* Oversized leather cushioned ear pads maximizing comfort
* Extra cloth ear cushions included
* Plug & Play USB sound card providing the best quality everywhere ( USB version )
It is with great pleasure that ZOWIE GEAR are able to announce that SpawN will have a close friend and rival gamer Filip “NEO” Kubski (Two Electronic Sports world cup champion) join him on his trip around Asia! Even with his tight schedule NEO managed to take time out of practice to come out to Asia and travel with his good friend, showing how much he wants to meet his fans!
For the first time ever you will see Abdisamad 'SpawN' Mohamed And Filip " NEO " Kubski side by side and playing against their fans!
NEO is known around the world for playing with teams like PGS, MYM and Wicked, SpawN and NEO have met on the battlefield many times before, fighting against one another but this time round they are working together all because of the great friendship that NEO and SpawN have developed over all their time as enemies! They are both passionate about gaming and e-sports and meeting their fans is really important, with this in mind SpawN invited NEO to travel with him and experience Asia side by
side as friends.
“I am really looking forward to this event and experiencing Asia! Especially after getting an invite from SpawN himself.” Said Filip “NEO” Kubski, “ I feel privileged that ZOWIE GEAR has given me this opportunity to travel around the globe and meet the fans that have made this all possible! Make sure you are going to be here guys! “
“I am honored to be in Asia touring with ZOWIE GEAR and to have NEO by my side is something you don’t want to miss!” Said Abdisamad “SpawN” Mohamed, “Getting to meet my Asian fans again is going to be great, they are so kind and always supportive.”
You have the awesome opportunity to meet both SpawN and NEO at the Guangzhou and Shanghai events. Play against them, ask them questions and test out the new ZOWIE GEAR products.
