"If you can remember back to early last year, we did an article featuring an interview with acclaimed pioneer inventor, James Hildebrandt. What we discussed in that interview were the masterfully created Psyko 5.1 surround gaming headphones. Touted as the absolute final word in positional gaming audio, the aforementioned headset took the greater gaming community by storm with systems having to be pre ordered to assure delivery. You see, what was being offered was a drastic shift away from traditional algorithm based surround sound in a set of headphones.
But that’s not all; absolutely not. What made these things so intrinsically new/better/different (take your pick), was the way in which sound was funneled down from the headband containing the speaker, to positions both behind and in front of the users ears, creating a one man ‘perfect room‘ surround experience."

When we reviewed the original Thermaltake BlacX back in April
2008, we commended Thermaltake for marketing such an innovative and
convenient product, but we complained about its lack of essential features
such as eSATA. The idea of allowing users to quickly swap internal hard
drives on an external interface on-the-fly is undoubtedly excellent, but
execution could definitely use some improvement. A few different variations
of Thermaltake's BlacX were made since then -- a nearly identical station
with added eSATA support, as well as the SE version that provides four USB
ports in front. Sounds great, right? Well, how the heck do you make it
better? Fear not. As far as Thermaltake is concerned, there is only one way
to make the BlacX product line twice as good as it is already: Combine two of
them, and make them into one unit, and then call it the 'BlacX Duet'. The end
product? Thermaltake's latest hard drive docking station! As its name
suggest, it is designed to combine elements of its excellent prior 2.5" and
3.5 serial ATA hard drive compatibility, added eSATA support from the second
iteration, as well as the tried and true USB support for maximum
compatibility since the first edition -- the Duet now features bays for
accommodation of up to two desktop and/or laptop hard disk drives too! How's
that for a change? We cracked one open for you to see how it works out in
real life.
