AceZone is back with true wireless connectivity, launching the definitive version of its esport-focused headset.
Slowly making its way into the minds of esports fanatics, AceZone is back just a year after launching its range of headsets. The updated A-Spire Wireless headset brings home the tournament quality, but now it has the much-requested 2.4 GHz connectivity option.
This turns the once wire-bound headset into the definitive version of AceZone’s gateway into the home. However, the price—£263/$369—is still a costly barrier to entry for a headset that most users might never be able to take full advantage of.
AceZone hasn’t done much to the innards or design of the A-Spire Wireless, compared to the original A-Spire we tested earlier in the year. It still sports the same 40 mm drivers, custom-tuned to enable a larger soundscape in esport games, such as Counter-Strike.
Once again, the AceZone A-Spire Wireless sounds excellent. It’s got this delightful clean sound out of the box, and the equaliser (EQ) presets all provide excellent alterations. It’s still fascinating to hear more than I initially could on other headsets. Listening to players stalking around the corner in Counter-Strike 2 will never not be terrifying. Sure, I can hear more than they can, but I’m still not good at the game.
As the name suggests, this is the next step in the chosen hardware for those a-spiring to be competitive in their chosen game. You’ve got the peripherals, now it’s time to up the audio game, and the A-Spire Wireless does that in spades.
Thankfully it’s also still incredibly comfortable over long periods. The cups are designed to clamp around your head, aiding in noise cancellation, but unlike the A-Rise, it doesn’t ever start to grip into the scalp. I lost a full day to World of Warcraft, chatting with friends and never felt the need to take the A-Spire off my head.
That noise cancellation is still top-tier, especially in the gaming headset space.
