Psyko Audio’s gaming headphones deliver a truly immersive 3D surround sound experience — putting gamers right in the heart of the action with pinpoint directional audio.
Creative Coefficient partnered with Psyko Audio to bring their groundbreaking psychoacoustic technology to life in a distinctive gaming headset. Unlike traditional stereo headphones, Psyko’s design channels sound through an innovative speaker array and wave guides across the headband, replicating natural listening cues for unmatched spatial awareness.
As a full-service product design studio, we guided the headset from concept sketches through ergonomic refinement and production detailing. Our focus was on optimizing form factor for long gaming sessions, ensuring durability under daily use, and balancing acoustic performance with bold visual impact.
This project combined consumer electronics design with rigorous hardware product development, delivering a product that gives gamers an edge they can hear, and helped Psyko carve out a unique position in a crowded headset market.
Behind the Design, Obstacles to Innovation:
Turning Psyko’s psychoacoustic technology into a wearable headset demanded deep expertise in consumer electronics design and hardware product development. Our industrial design services focused on balancing acoustics, comfort, and durability, while giving Psyko a signature product identity.
Translating Complex Tech into Wearable Form: We integrated Psyko’s wave guide and multi-speaker system into a compact form factor, ensuring the headset fit naturally without excess bulk.
Extended Comfort: Adjustable ear cups, lightweight materials, and carefully tuned ergonomics reduced fatigue for marathon gaming sessions.
Durability: Reinforced hinges, sliders, and connection points were engineered to endure daily use, travel, and the demands of LAN events.
Signature Look: A bold, recognizable aesthetic reflects Psyko’s cutting-edge technology and resonates with serious gam
