[Ryosaku x good product by Kazuyoshi Torii] The PC game is "Shoulder" comfortable play! Panasonic "SC -GN01" x "FF XIV" --AV Watch

Now, the neck speaker used on the shoulder is interesting.The previous Sony "SRS-NS7" was unique to Dolby ATMOS compatible with the combination of the BRAVIA XR series, but this time (actual sale about 21,500 yen) is a "gaming neck speaker".It is a model where you can connect with a personal computer and a USB cable to enjoy surround such as games.

For games, even light gamers like the author sometimes play all day on holidays, but the burden on the ears is large.If you play at a full -fledged surround system, and play loudly, tinnitus may continue after play, headphones and earphones are worried about volume, and your ears tend to hurt.In that regard, a neck speaker will be satisfied with a moderate volume and will not hurt your ears.

At first, the nickname of SC-GN01's "gaming" neck speaker felt a little exaggerated, but it is more suitable for the game.Of course, the built -in microphone can be used, so you can use voice chat etc., and there is no functional dissatisfaction as a headset for games.It seems that playing for a long time seems to be a focus on heavy gamers, and at present, it has been short of shortage due to its popularity than expected.

First, let's introduce the product outline.SC-GN01 is a type of neck speaker used for USB connection, and has no wireless connection function.The power supply is supplied from the USB, so the battery is not built in.Therefore, it is about 244g and relatively lightweight.Although it is a bit heavy as a headphone, it is hardly concerned because it puts it on the shoulder.It can be used on Windows10 PC, PS4/PS5 for game consoles, and Nintendo Switch (in TV mode).5 for Windows 10 PC.It supports up to 1ch, but PS4/PS5 and Nintendo Switch only support stereo audio.

The main functions include six sound mode switching (RPG/FPS/Voice/Music/Cinema/STEREO), microphone mute, volume adjustment and mute, each of which is located on both sides of the body.If you switch the sound mode, the sound mode will be notified by voice, and the response of the operation will be informed by voice.It will be a sufficient function for a neck speaker.In addition, there is also an analog voice input used for Xbox Series S/X and Nintendo Switch (in tables/mobile mode).

In addition, analog audio input can be played with television sounds and mobile players audio, but USB power is required as a power supply.If you use it as an ordinary neck speaker, you need a USB power adapter.

The built -in speaker is 4 channels, with a front speaker on the front of the body, and a surrounding speaker on the base side.Both are cone -type units with a diameter of 3 cm.This four -channel speaker is tuned exclusively for surround playback and is designed as a full -fledged surround system despite its neck speaker.Regarding the bass playback, "H.The technology called "BASS" can be virtually reproduced to the sound range that cannot be physically played in a small unit.

As a mechanism, by adding a bass component of bass that is difficult to play, the human perception characteristics that feel that the bass that should not be heard is sounding.The six sound mode was developed in collaboration with Square Enix's "Final Fantasy XIV" sound team.It is said that it has been developing to develop from the prototype of this unit to achieve the sound effects suitable for the game.

When I put it on, there are just four protrusions in a certain speaker, which touches the body.Although it is not a grip feeling, it feels like the protrusion is holding the body and holds it, and it is hard to deviate even if you move your body.This area may be conscious of games.Also, if the volume is loud, the vibration of the unit is transmitted to the body slightly.The vibration itself is a small thing and feels vibration only when the sound containing a bass is felt, making it a body sonic bass.

The accessories are only analog audio connection cables.The USB cable cannot be attached and detached, but the length is 3m.Not only games on desktops, but even if you play games on a large screen in a living room, it will be enough.
