What Gioteck say about the EX-05s:
The EX-05s hardened edition integrates superior stereo game sound with crystal-clear voice communication on the PS3, Xbox 360, PC/Mac to create an outstanding audio environment for gaming on all platforms.
The Gioteck website and EX-05s manual are light on specific details so I’ve had to run with what little there is. The EX-05s seems to improve over the previous EX-05 by bumping up the drivers to 40mm over 20mm and that’s about it. 40mm drivers are ubiquitous in the headphone market whether you’re paying £20 or £120, so Gioteck are at least ticking the right boxes.
Time to see what the box and the Ex-05s itself look like.
