FAQ

What gaming headset has the best microphone for Sandton home-office setups?

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 has the highest-quality microphone in the mid-range bracket — its retractable ClearCast Gen 2 microphone is clear enough for both gaming calls and Zoom meetings. For buyers who need one headset for work and gaming in a Sandton home office, the Nova 5 at R3,500 eliminates the need for a separate conferencing headset.

Is 7.1 virtual surround in gaming headsets worth it for SA gamers?

7.1 virtual surround processing improves positional audio awareness in FPS titles — particularly useful for identifying footstep direction and grenade trajectory. The software implementation matters more than the spec label: Razer Surround, SteelSeries GG Sonar, and HyperX NGENUITY all provide meaningful directional improvement. Headsets with both good hardware drivers and quality software surround processing deliver the best gaming audio results.

What is the warranty on gaming headsets sold at Evetech for SA buyers?

HyperX provides 2 years SA warranty; Razer offers 1 year with SA distributor support; SteelSeries and Logitech provide 1–2 year warranties through local channels. Claims are handled through Evetech as the point of purchase, making returns and repairs straightforward without international shipping. Keep your Evetech invoice for warranty purposes.

TIP

headset's mic is picking up keyboard or mouse click noise on streams, enable noise suppression in your voice software (Discord, TeamSpeak, OBS) — this filters mechanical keyboard transients that cardioid mics still partially capture.
