We have spent the last few days living with the Alienware AW988 headset perched on our head and have gotten a very good idea of what the first headset from Alienware in nine years is all about. We gamed, we watched movies, and we listened to a lot of music. We tell you how it did and all the features and build quality.

It surely does not matter how long Alienware has been out of the gaming headset business, because it is surely back in it with the model AW988. The Alienware Wireless Gaming Headset, as it will be more affectionately known as, has just emerged on Dell's website and is priced at $229.99. The AW988 ticks all the checkboxes that a modern gamer needs, and most likely wants. Its pricing puts in what we would consider the "middle" tier when it comes to your hard earned dollars. The mainstream wireless headset pricing gamut reaches from the sub-$100 price range to the $300+ price point, and it is likely that Alienware has carved out a bit of ground for itself in the middle.
