MMD, owner of the Philips license for PC monitors, is attacking the gaming headset market by launching its first two products for gamers. The first, by the sweet name of TAG5106, is a gaming headset with dual wireless connectivity. It can thus be connected via Bluetooth and to a USB-A adapter, with which it communicates using a proprietary 2.4 GHz protocol. Switching from one connection to the other is done at the touch of a button. The headset also has a mini-jack input allowing it to be compatible with many media: PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox, smartphone, tablet…
MMD has given its helmets a particularly assertive and completely original look, with hexagonal ear cups. We let you judge as to the beauty of the thing. In terms of materials, nothing new under the sun: the TAG5106 combines plastic shells and memory foam pads covered with imitation leather. It has an RGB edging that cuts each earpiece in the middle to give it an assertive, very gaming look. The headband is adaptable to suit different head morphologies.
Inside are two 50 mm speakers capable of transcribing “detailed and breathless sound”, according to the brand. In addition, the headphones are compatible with 7.1 virtualization technology: DTS Headphone:X 2.0. The TAG5106 is also equipped with a detachable unidirectional microphone. It promises 45 hours of autonomy by disabling RGB lighting.
The TAG5160 is already available at a price of €99.90. At its side also comes its wired counterpart, the TAG4106.
