Offering cheaper than Tritton, Turtle Beach sets with similar features
Monoprice is the place some of the Electronista crew goes when we need a funky cable. Four-pin to Firewire 800? No problem. Funky USB gender cables? Also carried. While various audio accessories have graced the shelves of the e-retailer, a brand new addition is a pair of gaming-oriented headsets, at a very low price point for the feature set. As with most audio features, build quality and attention to detail can make all the difference between an experience with excellent fidelity, and a static-laden hiss-fest. Can this new entrant into the gaming headset market make headway against the giants in the field? Our review gets to the bottom of the new, inexpensively priced Monoprice Dolby 7.1-certified gaming headset.

Mechanical keyswitch keyboard by accessory vendor evaluated
Input devices are critical to the computing experience. As we mentioned in our review of the Logitech G-710 gaming keyboard, they are frequently given short shrift despite this. Devices with features tailored towards a specific market typically have a higher price tag associated with them, however discounter Monoprice sells more than just inexpensive cabling -- they have an entire range of gaming keyboards. We had the opportunity to check out the Monoprice Cherry MX Red gaming keyboard from the eponymous manufacturer in both professional and gaming environments. Does the offering from the peripheral vendor stand out from the crowd on its features, or because of its price? The Electronista review tests out this new offering from an unexpected source.
