Whenever we think about video games, the first thing we consider is their graphics or gameplay. However, if we removed the sound, the experience would certainly be very different and certainly much less enriched. That’s why it’s not only important to have a good soundtrack to get us into the story, but also the right equipment to get the most out of the sound. And there today we offer you the possibility: headphones Trust the Forta GXT 498.

Officially licensed for PlayStation 5, the Trust Forta GXT 498 is also a good choice for PS4, PC, Android phones or tablets, and Nintendo Switch. Some peripherals that meet both gaming and good performance, as well as listening to music or reproducing other audiovisual content.

If we focus on sound, we can say that the Trust Forta GXT 498 surprised us. In the middle range, its sound is more than acceptable, it handles the bass well and the highs a little worse, but overall with quite good behavior. This is possible due to the fact that we are dealing with 50mm headphones that allow us to achieve good sound, with some vibrations if we go too far with the volume.

In addition, this model allows you to squeeze functionality playstation 5 Storm 3D AudioTech thanks to its functionality 3D sound. Thanks to this, we will be able to get even more into video games and enhance the immersive experience that Sony’s latest console gives us.

Ergonomics more than sufficient

available in black and white (we tried the white version), the Trust Forta GXT 498 have earcups that fit well and are comfortable for long hours of gaming. The headband is extracted in different sizes to suit different types of heads, which is much appreciated and scores many points in ergonomics.

If we have to get, but it’s a cable. When plugging the cable into the laptop, the connector may rub against your neck or shoulder. This will depend a lot on our physiognomy, as those tested by other colleagues did not encounter this problem.

It is also true that the cable length could be a bit longer depending on what cases (they come with one of 1.2 meters), but it’s more than enough to connect it to a PS5 controller or tablet. For a screen or device a little further away, it would be better to choose a longer cable.

We can find it right next to the connector microphone. The latter is removable and has a filter for better sound retention and noise reduction, which gives the headphones versatility and reduces weight when playing alone or watching a movie. However, the ability to remove the microphone can also be an incentive to lose it due to its small size.

We can find it right next to the microphone and the connector controls only headsets; one to quickly mute the microphone during a game for example, and the other to manage the volume. Thanks in case you need a quick check.

Its installation is no more complicated than any other headset. Works on mode plug and playso we will simply have to connect it and start working without any further problems.

sustainability counts

Within the specifications that surround the Trust Forta GXT 498, we are left with one that is of particular interest. And it’s because the headphones are made with 35% recycled plastics in the white model and 85% in the case of the black modelwhich is valued (and much more our planet).

At this point, it should be noted that despite this percentage of recycled materials, the headphones maintain a good quality for the price category we are in, even more so than other headphones we have tested in the same range.

conclusions

Within the middle class, the Trust has managed to combine technology and sustainability at an affordable price. And this model can be found €49.99which is an acceptable price for headphones that offer us comfort, more than adequate sound and many hours of immersive experience.
