Build a better gaming setup with the Signature RAYVO, NAOS MICRO and a separate microphone, featuring S-LOGIC and standard 4.4 mm balanced audio.

Skip the conventional gaming headset. Combine the Signature RAYVO, NAOS MICRO and a separate mic for powerful sound, accurate positioning and everyday versatility.

The Best Value Gaming Setup Under €500

A good gaming audio system does not have to be a traditional gaming headset.

In fact, separating the three main tasks can make a lot of sense. Let a high-quality wired headphone handle sound and spatial information. Let a dedicated DAC handle conversion and amplification. Let a separate microphone handle your voice.

That leads to a simple combination:

ULTRASONE Signature RAYVO + NAOS MICRO + a good separate microphone.

Depending on the microphone you choose, this can create an extremely attractive gaming setup around the €500 price category while remaining useful for music, movies and everyday desktop audio.

Why Separate Headphones and Microphone?

Give each component one job

Traditional gaming headsets combine headphones, microphone, wireless electronics and additional features into one product.

That is convenient, but it also means one budget has to cover everything.

A separate system allows you to choose your headphones based on sound, comfort and spatial performance while selecting the microphone purely for voice quality.

It is also easier to upgrade. If you decide to improve your microphone later, you do not need to replace your headphones.

Signature RAYVO: Gaming Sound Without the Gaming Compromise

The Signature RAYVO is designed for listeners who enjoy powerful bass, strong dynamics and an engaging presentation.

Impact when the game demands it

Explosions gain weight. Vehicles sound powerful. Cinematic scores become more exciting.

At the same time, gaming sound is not only about bass. Small environmental details, dialogue and positional information need to remain clear.

This is where S-LOGIC becomes especially interesting.

The RAYVO can therefore serve several roles at once: gaming headphone, music headphone and premium movie companion.

That versatility adds considerable value to the setup.

Better Localisation and More Detail with S-LOGIC

Hearing a footstep is useful.

Knowing where the footstep came from is much more useful.

ULTRASONE’s S-LOGIC technology uses the natural anatomy of the outer ear to support a more spatial listening experience.

Footsteps, gunfire, voices and environmental effects can be located more accurately, while subtle information within complex game soundscapes becomes easier to recognise.

For competitive shooters and tactical games, this type of spatial clarity can be particularly valuable.

It also enhances single-player games by making environments feel more convincing and immersive.

Reduced Listening Fatigue for Long Gaming Sessions

Gaming sessions can continue for hours. Comfort therefore involves much more than soft ear pads.

An aggressive treble response or extremely direct in-head presentation may become tiring over time.

S-LOGIC supports reduced listening fatigue and lower hearing strain through a more naturally distributed presentation.

This helps make the headphone suitable not only for a quick match but also for long evenings of gaming, music and streaming.

NAOS MICRO: A Tiny Audio Upgrade

Compact DAC, serious connectivity

The NAOS MICRO is an ideal partner for a clean desktop gaming system.

It connects through USB-C and provides dedicated digital-to-analogue conversion and headphone amplification without taking over your desk.

It offers both a conventional 3.5 mm connection and 4.4 mm balanced output, making it a flexible companion for different wired headphones.

For gamers using a PC or notebook, the concept is simple: connect the DAC, connect the headphones and play.

Standard 4.4 mm Balanced Audio

Suitable ULTRASONE Signature headphones include 4.4 mm balanced audio as standard.

That matters because you do not have to buy an additional specialist cable just to use the balanced output of the NAOS MICRO.

In a properly implemented balanced system, the left and right channels are driven separately. This can support improved channel separation, stronger control, greater dynamics and more stable spatial imaging.

These are desirable qualities for music.

They are equally useful in games where accurate positioning matters.

Add the Right Microphone

A separate desktop or USB microphone allows you to choose voice quality independently from headphone quality.

For Discord, team communication and casual gaming, a compact microphone may be all you need.

If you stream regularly, you can dedicate more of the budget to a better microphone, arm and pop filter without changing the rest of the audio system.

This modular approach is one of the strongest advantages over a conventional headset.

One Setup for Gaming, Music and Movies

The idea is straightforward:

Signature RAYVO + NAOS MICRO + microphone.

The RAYVO provides powerful and enjoyable sound. S-LOGIC supports better localisation and reveals more detail. Reduced listening fatigue helps during long sessions. The NAOS MICRO adds compact conversion, amplification and standard 4.4 mm balanced connectivity.

And once you stop gaming, the same system remains an excellent wired setup for music, movies and general entertainment.

That is what good value should mean.

Gaming Audio FAQ

Why use headphones and a separate microphone instead of a headset?

You can select each component independently for sound quality, voice quality, comfort and future upgrades.

Is the Signature RAYVO suitable for competitive games?

Yes. S-LOGIC supports more accurate localisation of footsteps, gunfire and other positional audio information.

What does the NAOS MICRO do?

It provides external digital-to-analogue conversion and headphone amplification with both 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm balanced outputs.

Why is S-LOGIC useful for gaming?

It supports better localisation and allows more subtle details within complex game environments to be heard.

Why does reduced listening fatigue matter?

Long gaming sessions require a presentation that remains comfortable over time rather than becoming aggressive or tiring.

Is 4.4 mm balanced audio useful for gaming?

A properly implemented balanced playback chain can support improved separation, control and spatial stability, which can complement precise gaming audio.
