to Solve a challenge for the esports industry
★★★★★"AceZone took on the mission to solve a challenge for the esports industry that no other peripheral or audio manufacturer previously had dared to do. We're very pleased with the outcome that is now broadly known as the A-Live headset, being used in a variety of tournament environments at ESL FACEIT GROUP."
Marc Winther, Head of Game Ecosystems, EFG
THERE IS SIMPLY NOTHING BETTER ON THE MARKET
★★★★★“Pulling off any live esport event, let alone a Battle Royale such as Apex with 60 players competing at the same time, is full of technical and logistical challenges. There’s simply nothing better on the market than the AceZone A-Live in delivering crystal clear game audio and in-game comms while isolating players from event noise, which is why we’re using them for the Apex Legends Global Series.”
Shahin Kanafchian, Partnerships, EA
the highest level of tournament integrity
★★★★★"The AceZone headsets are simply superb. The incredible noise cancellation means they are already unrivalled but the continued interaction with the admin detection system to improve the tournament integrity and player experience on an ongoing basis is what really sets them apart. We love working with them and the comfort they give us that we’re operating at the highest level of tournament integrity"
Andrew Haworth, VP Ecosystems, BLAST
3 Challenges at
esports events
In an arena packed full of cheering fans, players competing on-stage struggle to communicate with each other using normal headsets.
1. Headset Microphones
Pick Up Ambient Noise
Players are rightly frustrated when their headset microphones pick-up crowd noise and commentators' voices, and muddle this with team comms. What's worse is they hear this noise twice: through their teammates' microphones and the poor damping on their own headset.
2. Insufficient
Passive Damping
Players can struggle to hear important in-game sound cues, and even their own teammates, due to arena noise when playing on stage. Headsets with insufficient isolation allow arena noise into the headset and can lead to players not receiving game-breaking information, as they can hear the live commentary in the arena whilst playing on stage.
3. Ineffective
Solutions
Currently event operators have no equipment they can turn to, in order to fix the aforementioned issues. This leads to events distancing players from fans, using costly soundproofed cages and dialing back production value, all of which damage the online and in-person fan experience. However ultimately, these solutions fall short on all fronts: competitive integrity, fan engagement and operational overheads.
State Of The Art
Noise Cancellation
The built-in Active Ambient Noise Cancellation (AANC) works in-tandem with passive damping to create best-in-class overall noise cancellation and sound isolation. Background noise from audiences and PA systems are eliminated, and therefore do not affect player performance.
Hear what
matters most
With the ambient noise removed, AceZone speakers are tuned to be neutral and balanced sounding, unlike other muddy, bass-boosted gaming headsets. This means players will hear the signals they need to hear, like important in-game sound cues and information from teammates, without being distracted by their surroundings.
Admin
Detection SYSTEM
AceZone's innovative Admin Detection System (ADS) is designed to help admins diagnose potential issues quickly during a live event. The ADS enables smoother-run events with fewer tech issues.
Helps admins solve problems
live on stage
The system consists of several features built for tournament organizers to detect when players are experiencing audio issues on stage, and help admins diagnose the problem there and then.
On the AceZone A-Live headset there is an oval circle with three lights on each ear cup. These LEDs communicate the status of the headset to tournament officials. If you're organizing events and tournaments, reach out to us below to get more information about the features of the Admin Detection System.
Speech Enhancer
Algorithm
While the directional voice microphone reduces some noise, the remaining noise is removed by the AceZone speech enhancer algorithm. The algorithm uses multiple microphones in the boom arm and on the ear cups. These microphones record and then separate ambient noise from speech.
Clear team
communication
The multiple AceZone A-Live microphones combined with innovative firmware, allow the voice microphone to eliminate background noise. This combination of integrated hardware and firmware means that players only hear what they need to hear and no crowd or PA system noise.
Ergonomic
Ear pads
The AceZone A-Live headset features changeable ear pads designed for world-leading passive dampening and sound isolation. This is achieved through a consistent seal, especially around difficult areas such as behind the jaw.
designed with
purpose
Designed from the ground up with esports events in mind, the AceZone A-Live headset leverages the latest in material tech, in order to set a new standard in live event audio. Built to last, the design takes a minimalist approach with no unnecessary frills, buttons or "gamer" aesthetics.
Award-winning
Design
Award-winning design is achieved by combining unmatched engineering with industrial aesthetics and the best, most solid choice of materials. This includes glass-filled plastics, die-cast aluminum hand-brushed with a clear coat finish, real leather for a natural contact experience, and hidden wires to avoid entanglement - all contributing to increased performance.
Intelligent
Boomarm
The intelligent boomarm makes it easy for players to check if they have the best possible placement of their microphone in relation to their mouth at all times during competitive play. This guarantees the best possible communication throughout. If players want to mute their microphone, they can simply rotate the boomarm away from their mouth into the upward position and when they’re ready to talk again, they simply lock it back into place.
Recallable
Adjustments
To allow for an adjustable, comfortable fit, the headset utilises a 10-position slider system. Take note of the position chosen by each player and then if the headset is thrown off by a player standing to celebrate, it's easy to return the headset back to the same fit.
Interchangeable Headset
Padding
The AceZone A-Live headset is designed to last, even when being used on a rigorous schedule by numerous players at different events across the globe. Instead of replacing the entire headset, it’s possible to replace just a few elements, such as worn headset padding, to get that “new headset” feel.
HANDCRAFTED WITH
PREMIUM MATERIALS
A headset is a trustworthy companion that should last for years to come. The A-Rise Hybrid ANC Gaming Headset is built with longevity in mind, with replaceable parts, such as magnetic ear pads and genuine leather on ear cups and headband.
Made with no compromise and built to last using the best materials of casted aluminium and sheep skin leather.

Even though the AceZone A-Live headset has been tuned to offer the best possible audio experience for esports, sometimes players just prefer to use their own in-ear headphones from home. Therefore, the A-Live has been designed to offer a great experience over the top of in-ear headphones once extra care is taken to get the perfect fit.
